Coolant Leak by The Wolf
I just changed the coolant in my 2001 Explorer. Now the drain plug on the radiator leaks slightly but only when I turn on the heat. Does anyone know why it would do that. I bought a new drain plug today and will try putting it on tomorrow.

Temperature control problem by Alan E. Seelbach
Folks, I own a 2005 Explorer XLT. It is a V-8, FWD, with 40K miles. The problem I have is: when the temperature control knob is in the full cold position, everything is fine. But as I turn the selector to warm and then hot, I get a banging noise coming from the firewall (I think). I'm not...
