Hi folks, Can anyone tell me the largest tire I can use on my '02 XLS 4wd with the factory 16"rims? I saw an XLT with 245's, so I guess they will work. I don't want to go too big, but the current Michelins, 235's I think, look lost in the wheel wells. Thanks Ken

I was looking at the interior of the Mazda truck and it looked amazingly like the interior of my 1996 explorer. Why the big similarity?

I was looking to change the fluid in my transfer case soon on my 99 XLT SOHC. The owners manual says use Mercon ATF. The local auto store here only sells Citgo Transguard ATF Dexron III/ Mercon. I am assuming they are the same?

Howdy, My sister would like to buy a Mountaineer, but wanted to know if there were any pitfalls. She is looking at a 2002 or newer. I had heard that there were 'transmission issues' but haven't been able to get anything more clear than that. Her decision is between that and a trailblazer. Any...

Are all fasteners metric on the 1994 Explorer? I lost a screw that holds the door handle on and can't find a replacement in my SAE screw assortment. When did Ford go metric? Be easy on me Jim.

The time has come to replace the tires on my 03 Eddie Bauer. I was looking at Michelin tires and saw the LTX which everyone always has nice things to say about and the Cross Terrain as well. The Cross Terrain were about $20 a tire more and the attendant said they have a smoother ride. What is the...

In the past, I have had several sets of LTX M/S tires on my Explorers and agree with everyone who says they are a great tire. I am planning to replace the original Goodrich tires soon on my '05 as they have gotten so noisy they are bugging me. Question is whether I should consider the Cross...

When to say time for new tires if.... 1. the tires still have a safe amount of tread on them, but... 2. they are 7-8 years old and getting that micro-crack/dry rot look. ??? 3. have 55k miles on them I'm thought I might go ahead an put them up for sale while they are stilll mounted and see...

Hi, I am having problems with my power windows in a '92 Explorer. Old posts reference a how-to-fix website put together by a Jeff Singleton. The site is no longer active. Does anyone know where it went? Or do you know of a good online guide? The old link was: ...

Hey - I've got a '98 Explorer, standard 6-cyl, auto, with about 120k miles. In the last 2000 or so miles, it has developed a roaring noise when the engine is hot and car is idling. The noise is very loud when the air intake is removed from the air filter compartment. My mechanic said there's a...

Well i have just taken on a 1998 Explorer, 65000mls, at a good price as it comes with a slight growl to the front timing chain when starting and eases / intermitent at revs. sounds like a nylon guide has worn through.Reading all the posts, the big issue seems only to be with the front tensioner,am...
