I just purchased a '99 Explorer from a good friend. He gave me all the documents that came with it, including the various manuals. He had purchased this car new with all the bells, whistles, and extra chrome available that year. Unfortunately, some of the options are not explained in the owner's...

What's the consensus on the success of the changes Ford made to the Explorer in 1995- were they good? I'm shopping for an Explorer, and most familiar with the 1994 which I really liked. It's going to be a secondary vehicle for use when I'm going to drive gravel/dirt roads, a little bit of bumping...

The left rear window suddenly slipped to the bottom today. I pulled the door panel and found the regulator cable is no longer attached to anything on what I suspect is the window end. Can anyone point me to a picture or describe how/where this is supposed to be attached. I'm reluctant to pull apart...

My daughter says her muffler is going out and is looking for a cheap replacement as the vehicle probably won't last much over a year or two. Midas quoted about $130.00. Are the mufflers welded on or are they clamped and an easy replacement? I've searched the net a bit and see a Walker for about...
