Not too much luck this Christmas with my 97 Mountaineer with an V8 and AWD.Upon slowing down from highway speed to about 35 mph, I heard a loud thunk and a explosion underneath my Mountaineer. It's was my AWD transfer case disengrating and grinding like crazy. Due to the holiday's the Mountaineer...

I have a ford explorer 4wd 4.0 (97) that has gradually gotten this low droning noise near the brake pedal on the other side of the fire wall. I Had the breaks and bearings checked...its not that.

Several months ago, I picked up an ATP JX-150 in-line magnetic AT filter for my '98 5L Explorer. Not sure which line to cut to insert the filter into. Can't tell which is supply and which is the return line. TIA for your help, John

98 Explorer Climate Control Systems has gone crazy. I have to turn the Climate Control down to 60 to get heat. Repair shop tells me that it is going to be $ 550.00 to repair the problem. Has any one had problems with the Climate Control on a 98 or there abouts Explorer EB...

I noticed today during a routine check on my serpentine belt that the tensioner cover was coming loose, this may be the cause of some "squeeling noise" coming from under the hood. any feedback on how to repair this and what the cost is. It is only loose on one corner and I have tried to "push",...

I've got an '02 Eddie Bauer that's developed a serious problem with the upper glass portion of the lift gate. This is the one that now has a recall due to hinge failure. Mine has gotten harder to latch recently and even opened itself a couple of times before we were made aware of the hinge issue....

I have a 2003 XLT. It did not come with side view mirror defrosters. Ford made it sort of difficult to actually get them. My question is: Does anybody know if the wiring harness(s) is set up for them, and all that has to be done is replace the side mirrors, or is it no-doable at this late...

I have the same annoying problem. In my case, this is happening on a used 02 Explorer EB with 50,000 miles I recently purchased. I'm still doing some research and it appears I may have a loose seat back also which moves during sudden starts and stops. This makes it difficult to focus on the seat...

I have a 98 explorer with 90K miles and want to change the shocks to something that will give my wife a more comfortable ride, it is a mom-mobile, no towing, just street and highway driving. Any suggestions?

I've got a '97 XLT V6 w/ 87k. I noticed a problem this fall; after letting the truck sit for a couple of months the power steering got intermittent - it gets easy and hard as you turn the wheel. After driving it a mile or so, the steering felt better, but still acted up a couple times breifly. I...

Recently I have been having a real hard time changing gears in my 93 xlt 5 speed. As the problem has gotten worse (very difficult to change gears - double clutching helps a little) I have begun to hear a whining noise when the clutch is engaged. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dennis

I did it on my '96 EB with the electronic climate control and it worked just fine. Sorry to hear about your problem... Johnno wrote: > OK, now I'm really in trouble..

I am planning on changing the stock brakes on my '96 XLT AWD V8. Still stock brakes at 86K miles. I notice the caliper bolts have a torx head on them. Since I need to buy a set of these I want to make sure I get the right size torx bits. Thanks!
