4.0 SOHC Tranny oil change 50KKm or 250Kkm? by
Peter

to 2004 the explorer 4.0 only needs "transmission service" every
250Kkm! That's about 155,000 miles! It goes on to list a nunmer if
transmissions and vehicles which do require fluid change at 50Kkm.
Guess what wasn't there. No...

JiggaHertz
I have a 2004 mountaineer and I'm trying to install my radar detector
using a direct wiring adapter. I need to tap into a wire by the fuse
panel that is live when the car is running and dead when it is off. I

Ok, now I'm stumped by
John Riggs
I have a '92 EB 4.0
I know I have a strange beast but how bad can it be?
Jim, or anybody, I have the check engine light coming on telling me that
I need to "Check Engine"
Since it requires an OBD I reader, I buy one. I should be set, right?
Puh-Leaze!
2 digits or 3..... How do I know for sure.

2004 transmissions by
cyclone
There was a story on CBS late news ( in NY) last night about Ford having
serious problems with shifting into reverse on 2004 Explorers. Sounds like
some units ( they said up to 10% of production) can hesitate up to 5
seconds before clunking into reverse or back to forward.
Has anybody heard...

I have a 96 Explorer XLT with 115,000 miles on it
Recently it has developed a rattle (which I assume is coming from the
engine) at between 2000 and 2500 rpm.
The engine check light has not come on.

suggestion.
Has anyone got any...

91 power windows by
srv
RikiTikiTavi,
Does your 91 rear power windows use a cable mechanism (instead of a gear)
to operate the window? If so, can you give me some idea as to how to
remove the motor from the cable?
Thanks
