My 97 Ford Explorer appears to be leaking anti freeze ever so slightly. There is no leaking on the driveway and no visible fluid on the reservoir connections or hoses. Is there an easy way to check for leaks (i.e. dyes or other means) to help determine where the leak is coming from? Thanks

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...

2002 Moutaineer 4.6L AWD. I've got a leak that is coming from the fitting where the oil filter screws on. It is definitely not the filter itself or the filter gasket. Did a little internet research. Seems the oil filter adapter that bolts to the block has a gasket that tends to leak. I'm pretty...

I'm thinking about getting seat covers for my '02 XLT. The cold leather seats just aren't doing it for me first thing in the morning. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to get (or not to get)? Thanks.

Hello Jim and anyone else who might have answer. Fist off, sorry to post this as a new thread, but I wanted to make sure folks saw it. I went ahead and changed the shoes - so far the left ones (Boy, there's hardly any wear compared to the new shoes I'm putting on - just the slight gap where the...

I tried a 2013 XLT. Street handling has greatly improved over my '98. Rapidly turning the steering wheel right/left changed directions with virtually no body roll, but it "felt" much larger than my '98, not getting much feed back. The salesman also told me that they are not equipping them with...

Hi guys. I can't seem to get to the Explorer Maintenance info anymore at http://draco.acs.uci.edu/explorer/ Is it gone? Did it move somewhere else? I need to replace the seal on my steering gear on my '91 and can't find any instructions anywhere. I know there is a dust seal, snap ring, and...

Hi, I have noticed that I have to refill the clutch reservoir every couple of months and that recently the clutch is slipping a bit.... some how I don't think it is a coincidence.... If clutch fluid comes in contact with the clutch components will it need to be replaced ? Thanks

My work life means that my '95 Explorer XLT (112K miles) is parked for 2 weeks in a 2nd/3rd floor office garage and then driven very sparingly and parked on the street for my 1 week at home. The truck has been somewhat neglected for the last 3 years but only driven MAYBE 1,500 miles. The truck...

I have a 1991 Ford Explorer and my nephew said the battery terminal needs changed but he didn't have time today. I went and got the new terminals but I don't know how to change them. Could someone help me with this? Thank you.

Was out running errands and saw a nice new Ford Pickup truck coming up behind me. Noticed that the whole design has come pretty much full circle over the past 20 years as far as the "design lines" of the "ford truck look". The front of the new Ford trucks is surprisingly similar to the look of...

What size steel wheels will fit on a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport? There are no suspension or brake modifications, it is completely stock. I'm in the US, if that makes a difference. Sometimes specs for cars can change across international line. Justin

I need to replace the starter. Can a moderately eperienced person. do this? If so, how would I go about the replacement?

On occasion when I start my Explorer, the air bag blinks 3 times, pauses and then blinks 7 times. This is repeated a few times and then the light stays on. Sometimes is does the self check and goes off. Any ideas what gives? Dave -- Diving is life! The rest is just details. W.W.W.I.

I have a '99 Ex and absolutely love it! One problem is starts intermittantly and is now becoming very unreliable. May have to trade to dealer if I can't find the problem. Turn key, ignition cranks... doesn't start. Sometimes if I try for 15 minutes or longer, will start. Had IAC valve...
