Recently had a bad humming noise from front end. Front hub assembly was shot. Easy job and torqued to spec. Now both have been replaced. Have 206k Kms (~125k miles) on now. Now I'm getting a humming noise that varies with the speed of the vehicle. Usually starts around 25mph and varies right up...

how much to replace?

I have a 91 explorer (4x4 of course). Have had it for about a year did some minor work to it, installed aftermarket stereo, changed passenger front window motor, driver rear window cable assembly -- which was all the basic work it needed. I finally got to take it off road (in stock condition)...

Can anyone tell me what would make a sound like a jet turbine winding up on my '01 4.0L Sport Trac? It started as I was leaving a stop light and increased in pitch as I accelerated. When I let off of the gas, the pitch stayed the same until I was almost stopped, then the noise stopped just like I'd...

I have a 2000 Explorer. I'd like to install a 12 volt power outlet near the far rear, similar to a cigarette lighter outlet. Is there already a source of 12 volts in that area, not dependent on lights or rear wiper being on? Any ideas appreciated. -- ---------- CWLee Former slayer of dragons;...

Anyone know of a place that sells the center brake lamp socket assembly online? I've been running on one light (the incorrect, dim one at that) for a number of years now, because I just can't bring myself to spend $120 for a piece of plastic. Has anyone been able to do anything with LEDs? Now...

OK - I know this isn't new but I can't find a thread that answers my questions. ABS warning light is on. I understand that these rear ABS systems are notorously troublesome. Ford manual suggests it might be easier for me to buy a new car rather than expect them to tell me how to troubleshoot the...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

I've been having some typical problems with my Explorer not keeping idle. I've cleaned the IAC once ad it fixed it, for a while. The other night I had to just rev up the engine for a second to clear it out. Today I noticed its doing the same thing. Tried cleaning it and no luck this time. I...

The kids these days got the rap music with the brain damage.

I have a 98 mountaineer and bought the jc whitney $30 keyless entry. Their instructions are VERY generic.....i'm wanting to install it in the rear where the jack is. The lock back there has 3 wires going to it: green\yellow, green\pink, and black. I'm guessing one is lock, unlock, and ground. What...

Newbee here Can someone tell me were I find the oil pressure sender unit on my friends Explorer -98? Thanks in advance /Ove

If you are suffering from the ever so common problem of the cracking console cover on the Explorer (and I've seen them on the Mountaineers), you may want to check into the replacement kit at www.fixyourford.com. I was able to replace my own worn console from my 1998 Explorer and pleasantly...

97 ford explorer with auto climate control. I've tried to find info on this and seems to point to the blend door, however my problem is inconsistant. During the summer for the longest time i had no a/c... it would only blow hot. one day i decided to leave on the a/c and it finally kicked on. I...

OK, I seem to have some issues getting into 1st gear on a 1996 manual 4WD sport. Also you have to delay some to move to other gears. Pedal seems 'springy', or close to normal - hard to say. When I switch the engine off, it slides into 1st effortlessly. The clutch fluid level is correct. I had a...

Hi: My 1997 Explorer v6 won't start. Can anyone help? It just clicks when I tried to start it. I thought it was the battery so I put in a new one. No luck, still won't start. Anyone have any idea's? the truck has 68,000 miles on odometer. PLease help... thanks Judy

I got a letter from Ford today saying that the transmission in my '05 Limited had been "filled with a fluid formulation that, over time, may cause delayed/harsh reverse engagements". Ford offers to have the dealer install a bottle of additive to correct the formulation of the transmission...

I have a 02 ford explorer, without the third row seat. The seat that is in it does not have much upper back support, and I have noticed that explorers with third row seats have higher seats (and thought it would be nice to have room for two more). I was wondering if anyone has done this and...

Hi all, I've been noticing (strangely) when it's either snowing or whether leading up to snow, the engine will stall for like 1/2 a second and then return to normal. It does this intermittently. This caused a check engine code of p1500 for vss (variable speed sensor). Before this I had codes...

Hello list, I noticed a strange "scrapping" noise coming from the bottom of my new 2005 Explorer (< 100 miles) This noise ONLY occured when I started the car (by turning the ignition), and put it in drive. The scrapping noise (the volume varied but not too much) would last < 1 sec., and it...
