Can someone with a carfax account run a carfax on vin #5DF55$WS@@#... Sorry, just kidding. Here's the real question: I bought my car in CA from the original owner. Registered it there under my name. Then moved to TX and registered it here in TX. CARFAX shows 3 owners for the car. The original...

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...

The cable on my power antenna broke so I ordered a new mast but there is a piece of the cable stuck in the motor. I need to remove the motor but there is no access to it as it sits inside the left side fender. It has 3 hex screws holding it. How do I access the motor itself? Thanks, zoti

The battery on my Explorer died a couple of weeks ago. It was 6 years old but showed no signs of illness before it wouldn't crank the engine anymore. So I got a new battery from Pepboys which is supposed to be 650 cold cranking amps. Just to be sure I also took the truck over to AutoZone to...

'98 Explorer SOHC 4X4 AT. Had the camshaft guide replaced at 58K. Now on 82K and looks like the noise is back. I can hear it (sound a bit like the engine is pinging) when above 2000 RPM and light load. The ford dealer listed part# YL2Z-6M289-AA DRV ASY-C/SHFT on the service printout I have. I'm...

My Ford dealer wants $92 before tax. I'm looking for a source for part # XL2Z-7862649-AA. Thanks, zoti

How do I access the lamps that are located at the light on/off switch. I don't know if there is only one or more but it's the switch to the left of the steering column. Thanks, zoti

HI all, I hope someone can help me. We have purchased a '92 explorer 2wd. It is v6 with a four speed auto. The truck has 120000 miles and is in really good shape except that it does not have the 4th working. I dont know much about Ford auto trans and am hoping someone out there has a similar...

I'm thinking about swapping out the 4.5 axles and 4.5 front hubs from a 2000 explorer (electric xfer case and locked front hubs) to 5.5 axles and 5.5 manual locking front hubs. For the rear I can simply redrill the current axles or purchase axles drilled for 5.5 bolt pattern. Any ideas on how...

I hear a grinding noise when I turn the wheel either right or left. First I thought it was worn out ball joints, but I don't hear a clicking sound. It just sounds that a belt is getting tighter when I turn the wheel. Power steering? The wheel is not hard to turn. -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM)

I'm looking at a trailer hitch that came off a 1996 Ford Ranger to fit my 1993 Ford Explorer. Any chance that it'll fit? I know it's the same chasis (is it?) but for different model years? Hitch is a TSC V5 Shelton. Thanks! -- - Zilla Cary, NC USA (Remove XSPAM)

I believe it's the washers shown here... http://tinyurl.com/hfwk9 -- - Zilla Cary, NC USA (Remove XSPAM)

1993 4dr 4WD V6. I had front end-work done on my car. The mechanic, whom I know well, said my front hubs had 2 plastic washers (2 on each side) that needed replacing, but he couldn't find "just the washers." He's called around and everyone told him that the only way to get the washers is to buy...

A while back I heard something "click" while I was opening the door. Now the handle is no longer "springy". The door closes ok, but I have to slam it more than the other doors to close it. Is this easily fixed? -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM)

I've tried the eBay way and didn't work for me. So... If you have a WORKING one you've replace with a newer radio and want to sell me yours, please e-mail me with cost incl. s/h. Thanks! -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM)

What are the following harnesses for? http://home.bellsouth.net/p/pwp-foutsc I'm replacing my radio with an aftermarket CD/AM/FM radio with a built-in power supply. I got the adapters from Circuit City, but only the one that fits what I called the Inline plug. I hooked the radio up, and no...

I don't have a trailer hitch. However I want to install just a ball to my rear bumper and haul a light trailer for small plants, small lumber etc. What max weight can I haul in this setup? -- - Zilla Cary, NC USA (Remove XSPAM)

Ok my truck started fine 2 days ago, Tuesday. It rained all night Wed, and Thurs morning it would not start - starter clicked one time and then nothing, no electric gadget worked, eg, power locks. I let it park all day, and it rained all day. In the evening, coming back from work, the power locks...
