I posted before about my '03 Mountaineer being loud. I was able to go on a quiet stretch of highway at 60 mph then shift into neutral and shut down the engine. Noise continues. So I guess that rules out drivetrain and exhaust. BLUEOVALNEWS folks suggested front bearings and I do hear a click...

Hey Everyone, I have a 99 Explorer Sport and starting today, the front headlights won't turn off when vehicle is shut off. I've checked to make sure the lights are turned off from the switch, interior lights are off, fog lights off and the switch light on the rear view mirror is also set to off. ...

Hello to All, I have a 1999 Explorer XLT 2WD 4.0 SOHC. Now with about 76K miles I'm having what appears to be my first problem (other than the killer tire swap). I hear a metal on metal clunking noise in the front end while driving. It's not only when braking and/or turning, but braking and...

While I was driving up a steep dirt hill in 4WD my '92 EB lost power. The temp gauge was about 2/3 the way up. It just would not go any more. It did not feel like the transmission was slipping and the tach was reading around 2500-3000 rpm or so. I shut off the engine to let it cool off. A...

Topic pretty much says it all. Driver side. Deal wants over $200 without the motor!

My 98 explorer has almost 100k miles and is going in to the dealership for a recall part install. Since it is going in anyways I asked how much it would cost to replace the plugs and wires, the service advisor said $470.00. He must have heard it in my voice that I would do it myself, because he...

I have a 94 Explorer with 248K miles and at the end of my rope. After warm up only, it misses and backfires around and above 4000 rpm. I have replaced the following (in this order) in an attempt to correct it and am now broke. I lost the "let's replace this sensor game". plugs (3 different sets,...

Has anyone heard whether Ford has plans to offer a diesel in the Explorer? I am talking about a modern type of diesel, not the farm tractor type usually installed in vehicles here. I have ridden in some in Europe and Australia where the noise and vibration was so low it was difficult to know it...

Hello; I recently got a 93 Explorer with 84000 miles from the original owner. It is the 4.0 V6. How many miles are these usually good for? What kind of city and highway gas mileage can I expect? The A/C compressor clutch squeals. Can I have it rebuilt or just buy a new one? Thanks!

I used to get high 18s in my 2001 Explorer Sport. I am down to low 16mpg? 4.0 V6 84,000 miles Any ideas what to look at? Thanks

Hi! I recently replaced my '94 Explorer with an '05. Lots of things I read say that I can get a Ford wiring harness for my Tekonsha Prodigy and just plug it right in. I tried it this evening, and I can't find where the wiring harness plugs into the Explorer. Could anyone enlighten me? ...

I was reading in some Consumer Buying Guide that AWD has been discontinued in the 2005 models. Does anyone know why? I have it in my 2003 XLT and it has performed flawlessly in deep soft sand at Cape Hatteras and in fairly deep snow the last two winters. I'm just wondering if Ford discovered...

I've changed shocks on other cars before but this is a first on my truck. Any tips or pointers I should know? I know someone mentioned lower the spare tire, but is there any other advice I should know about?

Ok, The lights flash 5 times then go off. the 4X4 high was working correctly up til now. We were using the high tonight, I went back out to move the truck and noticed the lights flashing. I have and actron OBDII reader (CP9135), I plugged it in but no codes were present. Not sure how to read the...

I've been battling this for over a year. Any suggestions??? This is a 2000 Ford Explorer. 4.0 SOHC with 88K mi. - Originally a Canadian car, now in Washington state. It runs great but idles crummy, much more in gear, then in park. It sort of vibrates, and shudders a little. Just enough to make...

The center brake light is burned out on my 96 Explorer. I went to a parts store and asked for a bulb. They looked in a book (it wasn't on their computer) and sold me one that seemed way too small for $1.60. When I got home, and tried to change it, I realized that I couldn't get to the bulb...

Hi, I've got a 1997 2WD 4L OHV V-6 explorer with about 105K on the odometer. Yesterday my truck developed a chirping that is detectable at low RPM and speeds up with engine and/or driving speed. My first thought was of course like most, serpentine belt. The belt checked out OK so I decided to take...
