94 XLT with the 4ALD automatic with 185K, but completely rebuilt tranny about 10K ago. Lately strange things with torque converter lockup. It usually works normally, with lockup right at 45 mph, and in and out like it should depending on load. If I stay under 55 or so, it is fine all day. If I get...

I hooked up a new trailer brake actuator that required tapping into the cold side of the brake light wiring at the brake pedal switch. It also required a good ground, which I didn't have the first time I tested the actuator. The ground I chose was at the dash, and was not sufficient. The actuator...

I checked the radiator coolant today and there was none in there so I figured that was not good. I went to Pep Boys and got some engine coolant (liquid is green in color) and added it to the resevoir. Is there a ratio of water to coolant that I need?

Years ago I used air shocks on my station wagon when I pulled a camper trailer. 450 pounds hitch load is pretty heavy, not sure what the rating of the hitch is, but it's probably worth checking. Sounds like maybe you need a load equalizing hitch rather than the class 3. Back to air shocks, they...

I was driving down the road and all of a sudden my 1991 Ford Explorer just died on me and wouldnt start back. At first they thought it was the fuel pump but it was working fine. Then they thought it might have something to do with the plugs, which i changed them. They were burned out but new...

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...

I'm having problems with an intermittent oil pressure indication on a 99 Explorer Sport with a 4.0L SOHC, at cold start up. Rather than just replace the pressure switch sensor it seems attractive to make the gauge in the dash a real linear indicator as suggested in theses earlier...

Recently I've noticed radio interfearance originating from the standard heater temperature control. It is most noticeable when listening to relatively weak AM stations. It is most apparent when the Explorer is cold and the control fully clockwise. The whinning interfearance can be "tuned"...

Ok, I have a 97 xlt with a factory rack, how many pounds can I put on it evenly distributed? I want to throw a canoe and kayak on there if I can.

have been through the entire fuel system....... except injectors. New fuel pressure reulator - easy New fuel filter - easy New fuel pump - bitch & 1/2 but warrentied no cost just 1 afternoon work. New/swap solinoids in fuse box - no brainer - New inertia switch - easy Ok?

I have a 98 XLT and for some reason when I arm the alarm, it only does one "chirp" where it used to chirp twice. Same if I just power lock the doors before I close it. It used to chirp once when I pressed the power lock then again when I closed the door...what happened?

I really do not know a lot about cars but I am trying to learn and I was on a trip of one way 1400mi. and i got there and drove around town everyday. When i got ready to leave my explorer would start but die unless i kept my foot on the accelerator. I do not know what to call it but i screwed...

In trying to diagnose a bad shake/grind/drumming noise from under my high mileage 4x4 Exploder, I took off the rear wheels and rotors (disks) and calipers. I noted that if I pulled and pushed the wheel studs I could feel 2 to 3 mm (1/8") or so of play. This is not rocking the wheel type of...

How do I change the air filter on my 1995 ford explorer? I can see 1 clamp but the filter does not come out easily. Is there something else I need to disconnect? Thanks Doyle

i have intermittant overdrive problem but cannot get through on your link.......please reply again...it would be very helpful to me ...thank you

1998 taurus 24vdohv s.wagon(58k miles)orig owner begun to accelerate without using gas peddle. with both feet on break, continued to run forward for about 100 feet then stopped. Ford dealer repair shop keep for 3 days and could find nothing. Anyone with similar exp advise what it took to fix...

Yes, I tried fixing it myself by doing some things I found posted. It lasted about a day and then I never saw the display again. I ended up doing the "Save My Sanity" program at www.shareamemory.com/radio. They didn't say anything about my own meager attempts to repair it and I still got my $20...

I've got a strange grinding noise comming from the front-end of my '97 expedition. Seems to only happen when turning corners and accelerating. I've also noticed that the ride has gotten rougher. I'm planning on taking it in soon to have it looked at as the problem seems to have gotten worse...
