oil pressure gauge question by [email protected]
I just bought a 98 Explorer Sport. The oil pressure gauge reads exactly dead center all the time the engine is running, whether at 600RPM or 4000RPM. Is this normal? This is my first Ford and I every other car I've owned showed some fluctuation in oil pressure with varying engine speed. Thanks in...

1997 Mountaineer Headlights by MD
Does anyone know if that model came with Sylvania Silverstar bulbs stock? I am trying to change mine out and put Silverstars in there and it looks like they have the same model number on the bulb in there.

"Check AdvanceTrac" light comes on by Larry Brown
Jim: Thanks for the reply. Here is what I know so far: 1) My code reader will not read any codes from the 4x4 module. 2) The problem only happens when the car is very cold, overnight on a freezing night. If it doesn't get cold, the light does not come on. The coorelation to cold nights is pretty...

Cold start trouble by coavsfan19
When I start my 98 explorer xlt 4.0 SOHC in the mornings the engine immediately races to 2500-3000 RPM and drops to less than 1,000 RPM, then back up, then down and sometimes dies, at low RPMs it runs real rough. All of this happens until the engine gets good and warm. Any ideas what it could be...

RECALL on 2002 Explorer.... by Dr. Rastis Fafoofnik
Finally got Ford to do the recall on the rear window hardware (gas struts and hinges). Be advised there is ANOTHER recall coming down the line (if you have not gotten it already). The painted area under the window is plastic, painted to match the body color. Ford admits they have been cracking,...

Stereo trim removal issue by tmy13
Last night I removed the trim from around the stereo in my '02. Not thinking ahead, I simply used a screwdriver and created several indentations in the vinyl dash where I was prying. Does any know of a way to remove or smooth over these indentations? I was hoping that since the dash had some...

What's with the harsh ride on my '02? by knagy389us
I run the OEM Michelin Cross terrains on my '02 and man does it ride rough. Bone jarring some times, have to check my filling after a while. (I really miss the air ride of my Expedition) I run the 32/35 recommended psi's. Anyone remedy this with shocks and/or tire change? Ken 2002 XLS 4x4

I am considering something really crazy and that is to road trip to Alaska from Georgia in my '97 xlt. Is this a death wish for my vehicle? It is in good conidition with about 230k miles on it. Maybe Ford would sponser this madness, probably not though.

No brake lights! by Dan Hall
I just noticed yesterday I have no brake lights- zilch- zip- none at all. I usually check every so often to be sure they are working, so I don't think they were out long. I would likely had a roadside counsel with the long arm of the law too. Here's what I tried today- Checked fuses Checked all...

Engine Change by
How complicated, and should it even be done, to change the v6 in a 99 EddieBauer Explorer to a 302 or other V8 engine. Can the existing transmission be reused? Engine Mounts? Wiring? I'm just not happy with the performance of the V6.

'99 Explorer Fuel pressure problem by Tim South
I've been doing some troubleshooting on my Explorer recently. It suffers from the hard to start problem as many others do. Sure enough, I found that the fuel rail pressure bleeds to zero almost instantaneously after it's shut off. The other interesting thing is that the fuel pressure reads 64PSI...
