Good Evening, I found an earlier post (2004) on this topic but no clear solution. Any ideas on why my auto trans won't downshift to 1st gear when manually placed into 1st gear? It will limit itself to first gear only when accelerating in 1st gear but it won't allow engine breaking to decelerate...

Yesterday the passenger side steering rack boot split in my 4wd 1995 EB Explorer and leaked power steering fluid everywhere on the street. I was at home and have not driven it. I think I could replace this by removing the tie-rod. Is this true, or do I have to remove the whole power steering...

Our 2008 Mountaineer Premier needs new tires. The current 235/65R18 Michelins (not the LTX series) are remarkably worn at just under 30K miles. Because of the amazing results I have had with the Michelin LTX M/S tires on my '97 Explorer I was looking to get those, but had some sticker shock when...

I have finally located the 'noise' under my 98 Exploder. After a year of questions here, checks with my friendly transmission shop (sadly now retired) and cash for nothing at my dealership......
