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...

I've been having some problems with my 2000 explorer (V6-XLT model). It has trouble starting sometimes. Tonight when I got ready to leave work, it started for about 5 seconds, idled rough, and then cut off. Then it wouldn't start at all after about 4 tries. I went back into the office to call...

The clutch seized on my AC compressor so I've picked up a new/reman from the parts house. Questions: 1) Tag on new compressor says is shipped with "minimal" oil. What kind of, how much and where should oil be added? 2) Got a new "dryer" at the same time but see no way to "break" the old one out....

I'm going to be pulling both front and rear driveshafts out of my 97 5.0L AWD X to get balanced and was wondering how I could determine if the AWD Transfer Case Chain was worn. The X has 120k miles. Would be a good time to do any repairs. Thanks - Gerald

I recently replaced the headlights on my 1995 EB, and am not satisfied with results. I plan on getting the Sylvania Silverstars, but the big problem seems to be the "yellowed" lens assembly. I see the same problem on most older Explorers. Any information on replacement/ aftermarket lens assemblies...

I realize that the recall doesn't include my 2000 Explorer, yet, but the cruise deactivation switch sure looks similar. Is the switch always hot as on the ones that are being recalled. If so is it feasible to wire an inline fuse to it; if so how large a fuse would be best.

Any thoughts on fixing a chirping belt tensioner?? I replaced it in September due to some separation and noise. The new one is louder than the old one?? Thanks! df -- Daniel L. Freeman

Looking for a good source other than the dealer.... Thanks. Jeff

Will SOHC engines from '98-'03 fit a '97 SOHC? Thanks!

At times, my '97 explorer will just spin over and over. I found that if I wiggle the crankshaft speed sensor on the front of the motor, my car will start right up. This sensor only has 1.5 v running to it, so a little corrosion will cause a problem Good luck!!! Jeff "Jim Boone"...

Since it's been getting cold here, when I turn the truck on the 4wd low and 4wd high lights flash for a few seconds the go off. Yesterday when I tried to put it in 4wd high it took a minute or 2 for the light to light up and go into 4wd.. Do you think it's getting low on fluid? It has about 30,000...
