2001 Sport Trac I just noticed today that both front door speakers sound really scratchy. Any bass at all is just buzz. Selecting just the rear speakers with the fader control, it sounds fine. Is it likely that both front speakers shot craps all of a sudden or could there be another cause? H

I know how to find TDC. But how do you find TDC of the compression stroke for the #1 cylinder? One method I read about involved putting your finger in the spark plug hole while rotating the engine crankshaft! Thanks for any replies.

2000 Ford Explorer, XLT, 4door, 4x4 After spending most of the last 2 years in storage, I'm going to drive my Explorer to Colorado, Idaho, and BC in January for a long ski trip.

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...

Can anyone tell me the difference in the 4.0L engines from the early explorers to late model. I'm still fuzzy on this. It says 4.0L SOHC on a 2004, and it says 4.0L SOHC on my '92 EB. I noticed mine has the distributor ( if you can call it that ) to the rear, and the newer model has it to...

Greetings, I stored my ipod in the glove box of my truck. When I opened it up, (glove box was alittle over crowded) somehow by a freat act, the ipod flew up and behind the glove box. I figured it was just behind the glove box. I opened it up, and looked behind but I could find nothing. The...

I have a '95 Explorer, 6 cylinder with 100,700 miles on it. I have changed the transmission fluid regularly and have had the system flushed out each time. Is there anything I should be doing other than this? Does the transmission need to be adjusted periodically or something like that? I have...

I had 4 great years with my 98' XLT but a bigger family and different needs made me buy a Honda Odyssey. Now my Explorer needs to find a new loving home. This group have been very helpful throughout the time I owned my Explorer along with the great forums at http://www.ford-trucks.com/ I know Jim...

2005 Explorer XLT with standard audio system (single CD, AM/FM) From time to time, I cannot eject a CD from the CD player and the message "EJ ERR" displays. This has happened 2-3 times since I bought the vehicle in May '06 and each time the CD ejected a while later or the next day. Now there is...

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...

Just trying to get a feel for what I'm in for. Should I do this myself? Can it be done without special tools? How much are the parts and what else do I need to replace while I have it apart? Thanks, Bill

I had an aftermarket cd player installed in my '04 Explorer, and want to take the cd player from it and install it in my son's '96. The units are the same, except for the wiring connectors. Does anyone make an adapter for this? Thanks in advance.

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...

OK. I am gonna guess that this question has been posted in the past, but I can't find it so here goes.... 1991 Ford Explorer Auto 4X4 EB I have been told that the tranny in it is "not the greatest". I don't have enough tools or skills to go to a C4 or "other" option. I could probably R&R the 4ALD...

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
