I am going to jump off a bridge
Hello all:
I bought a 2002 Ford Explorer with 42,000 miles on it. I love the truck, excepet for these niggling issues. 1. Between 2300 and 2800 RPM I hear a noise like metal being ground up in a blender. 2. there is an annoying squeak that comes from the rear end of the truck when I go over bumps. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. 3. The truck idles roughly, I cleaned out the MAF and changed the air filter. I also had it scanned, and there were no trouble codes found. Any clues as to what may be causing this? Thank you very much. Homerjay. |

1. Where's the grinding noise coming from?
2. squeak could be anything. Shock? Jack loose in storage rubbing something? 3. Rough idle...All the time? when cold? If all the time I'd lean towards the IAC valve plunger needing a cleaning. If when cold only...Might be an intake manifold leak. Don't rule out a fuel filter change. > wrote in message oups.com... > Hello all: > I bought a 2002 Ford Explorer with 42,000 miles on it.

We have a 2002 Explorer we bought new and it has the same damn grinding
noise. What the hell is that? And we have the same squeak in the rear. Sounds like a spring to me. "Beeper" > wrote in message ... > 1.
