Anyone know how to remove the speaker grill, or door panel, in order to replace the speakers? 97 Explorer XLT Thanks! Alex

hey jim....really appreciated your info on my tranny.....now another " kooky " question....my 94 eb has never ran hotter than normal.....last week here in ohio we had a day of hard rain....i ran it through a deep water puddle.....within a mile or so the temp gauge started climbing...to barley half...

does anyone know if a ford lightning or cobra front bumper will fit on a 97 explorer. I know i would proubably have to do some mods to it but would it even be close. Also I am looking for a cowl hood.

I have a 99 XLT 4X4 and at 34K miles I think I might have to change the front brakes soon. I wanted to do this myself. The last time I did my own brake job was on my 91 Crown Vic about 8 years ago but that was a straight forward job, no 4x4 or ABS. I will get my rotors cut at a machine shop but I...

Jeez how cheap can they get. I guess most people never even check their tranny fluid, but I drive ~ 30K per year, and change trans fluid at that interval. What a pain to pull out a bolt and do a site check. Ken 2002 XLS 4x4

I have just been offered a good trade-in deal on my 1998 4.0 SOHC 4X4 against a 2000 4.0 North Face spec Ex. Putting aside the various trim options are there any major differences in the things to look out for when buying a 2000 Ex? I know about inspecting brake discs (rotors, to you in the USA),...

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...

When I start my 98 explorer xlt 4.0 SOHC in the mornings the engine immediately races to 2500-3000 RPM and drops to less than 1,000 RPM, then back up, then down and sometimes dies, at low RPMs it runs real rough. All of this happens until the engine gets good and warm. Any ideas what it could be...

Hi I have a 1999 Explorer XLS, I have cloth seats and they are not power. Recently I have been having lower back pain, I have tried lumbar support and massage pads but no use. I was wondering if I can replace the driver side seat with lets say a Lincoln Navigator Power seat or Expedition Power...

My only remote with a set of fresh batteries will not unlock/lock. Does anyone know how to program it to work?? John

Group, My '02 Explorer XLT w/ 32k miles on it has recently started to occasionally show an empty fuel tank and Check Gauge light, when the tank has plenty of fuel. The problem is intermittent, although it only started a couple of days ago (so not a lot of background history). Does anyone know if...

I have an '03 Explorer Sport, black, with factory grey running boards. My Ford dealer does not sell replacement paint for the running boards, because, they say, that is is a 'stock' part that comes grey. Has anyone found a gray that matches for touch up? Thanks. Frank in Austin

I'm trying to figger out the differential ratio on my "new" 99 Sport. I've been thru the owners manual a couple times and can't find any cross from the door label.. Axel 42 to a ratio. Under towing, 3.27, 3.55 3.73 and 4.10 are listed as possible for this 2 door 4L SOHC 4x4 with auto trans. The...

I have a 95 XLT that does not have the climate control. I have read about the problems with that unit and the inablility to control the tempature of the heat, but I'm having a different problem. So far this seems to happen after everything has warmed up. I can turn the heat or defroster on and...

Hello Folks, My 97 EB with 5.0L V8 AWD has about 112k miles and running strong. Is it about time to be replacing the Timing Chain. I did that with my 88 F250 5.8L at about the same miles, and it was a good idea. It is still running strong now with 150k miles. Suggestions? What else to replace b4...

I am having an issue with the"door ajar" light in the dash staying on. Where are the open door sensors? I have turned the interior light off when the door is open to save the battery. Thanks in advance. Is there a place I can review the archives? 2001 explorer sport
