I have a 1998 Explorer Sport, 2 wheel drive with auto transmission. The problem is a clunking noise that is heard after the trans shifts to second gear. Seems that the transmission shifts smooth into 2nd but a couple of seconds or so after it shifts it makes a klunking noise. Looking at the tach...

Is it possible to start a 99 Eddie Bauer without key? Basically getting around the transponder system. One of my clients (I'm an insurance guy) had a 99 Eddie Bauer stolen and subsequently recovered. Carrier denied the claim saying that even though there was damage around steering column and...

I, too, initially went with the new power supply from Pioneer when my radio display went blank and it lasted all of 5 months. I couldn't get Pioneer to replace it. I've had one from www.shareamemory.com/radio that has lasted longer than both the original and the one from Pioneer. I did the Save...

The compass and temp went out on the overhead console of my '97 Explorer EB today. Any clues on where to start looking?

What kind of tire wear are you getting with your Explorer? I just replaced the OEM P235/70-16 Michelin Cross Terrains on my 2002 Explorer and I got 42k miles out of them. They were just approaching the wear indicators. Amazingly, the tires never had to be re-balanced for the entire 42k miles and...

My bother came over yesterday and was upset because he had noticed a crack in the rear hatch just below the window (just right of the Ford symbol). We both looked at my Explorer and there was no sign of a crack. I went out to my Explorer today (26 degrees currently) and guess what.. SAME CRACK! ...

Yet another post in the ongoing saga of my '91... The truck gets lousy mileage (12 mixed instead of 16) and shows other indications of running too rich. Codes are mostly EGO not switching, left bank lean but occasionally left bank rich. I'm convinced that something, somewhere is fooling the...

I noticed some draging noise and thought the bearing was going out on the alternator but after looking found the front assembly on the idler pulling almost off and it's rubbing the fan blade.There's a spring that's attached to the front of the assembly.

In a couple of years I'll finally give up on my '91 Explorer (and its endless litany of problems - see numerous posts in this ng :) and start shopping for a regular cab, regular bed pickup (which will better suit my current and future needs than the SUV - if I get another SUV as well my spouse will...

Hello All, Any help would be appreciated. The remote locks just quit one day. Also, they don't automatically lock when you put the car in drive and go down the road. The last sympton is that when I do the ignition key 5 times in succession, there is no response. I had bought a new remote 4 months...

Can anyone tell me where and how many speakers are on my Ford Explorer? I know, it's probably a stupid question but I figure, no one can know everything. Right? Also need to find out where the amp (if any) is located? Thanks Puzzled gal in...

I've had this issue for about a year and can't figure it out, dealers not sure and 4 mechanics I had check it aren't sure either. When I'm comming to a stop the brakes seem fine till about 15 mph untill I stop. >From 15 mph on down it makes this weird rubbing sound, and when I do come to a stop the...

It's just me again me again. Forgot to ask about my temp. gauge. First off it doesn't work and someone pointed out to me that the engine smelled hot. I know it's been getting hot but not to the point of boiling over. I have been reading in the Haynes manual but still am confused. What should...
