Does anybody know of a source of replacement driving lights for the '98? I've looked at http://catalog.com/susq/hella/us-oe.htm and these are the lights I need - but the people there do not want to ship overseas unless I purchase using a Bank Draft - which costs me more and doesn't give me...

I have a 1999 Explorer with 108000 miles. Last week it started pinging with a very low load. The fuel was low so I filled the tank, got on the freeway and headed home. As I exited the freeway I noticed the Check Engine light on. After some reading, I tried to clean the MAF sensor with liquid freon....

Hello eveyone, I am new to this group and I really hope there is someone out there who can help me. First off I have a 92 Ford Explorer with a 4 litre and 4wd. It has about 179k on the motor, but has been very well maintained, (engine and drivetrain wise, body kind of rusty but what can you do in...

After putting 2 new tires put on my 2004 Explorer I started intermittently experiencing a bumping (or thumping, or slipping) feeling that seems to be coming not from the tires but the transmission or around the differential (however, I do not know enough about cars to accurately pinpoint it)....

Typically my 96 explorer will clank and pop while in 2 wheel drive between 30 and 50 MPH, either at a constant speed within that range or during decceleration. This is not a cyclic or periodic clanking, very sporatic, not to any speed on truck (ie engine speed, wheel speed). I noticed that when I...

Look at it this way.... at least it keeps the NG busy. Nuthin' like a little controversy to make folks speak up.... "Backyard Mechanic" > wrote in message ... > Blanca opined...

Temp guage was acting funny. For awhilw it would read normal at running temp then it would read "zero" or stone cold. Periodically back to normal then fluctuating back to resting position. Now it's seems totally dead. Replaced sending unit, no change. Once in a blue moon it will read...

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...

I am now experiencing a grinding on the front end at low spped turning right or left but particularly right. Would anyone have any clue, this is not a disc brake grinding it sounds and feels more in the trans itself. 65000 miles.

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...

The message center in my 02 Eddie Bauer is dim. I can't see it on sunny days. It is readable on cloudy days and nights. It is much dimmer than the radio readout, for example. Has anybody had this problem and fixed it or had it fixed? Are all 02s like that? I don't think it was like that when...

I am getting the above Explorer in a couple of days and wondered what the owners manual recommended for engine oil. ---------------------------------------------- Posted with NewsLeecher v2.0 RC2 * Binary Usenet Leeching Made Easy *...

You people saved me $2000! Because of the help I received here, I did not let my shop (ex-shop) replcae the A4LD tranny in my 94 Explorer. I replaced the $37 vacuum modulator instead. Been driving it for a couple of weeks now and it is DEFINATELY fixed! I took the advice of someone and pulled the...

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 everyone. I'm looking for a work truck to pull around a trailer that could weight up to 6k. I also want to be able to pull around a trailer that has a bobcat on it. I was looking at an 86 ford f-250. From what I'm seeing, the towing capacity was around 9,000lbs. This is under half of...

hi everyone-- would have posted this in r.a.m.ford but that group seems to have gone to hell, plus i have always gotten good responses from ramfe. i just bought a new 2005 ranger, an upgrade from my 94 xlt explorer. i was disappointed to discover that there seems to be a speed governor (maxes out...

It's typical. There are plenty of stories of the same at http://www.antiford.com. wrote: > Exactly. > > "MMccoy01" > wrote in message > ... >
