I am experiencing some difficulty in understanding what in the heck is
the deal with these codes. My usual "Ford Doctor" who is reliable as
the day is long, could not aid in the repair of my 1999 Ford Explorer,
as his scanner only worked on cars with earlier than OBD-II cars.

Brought my 98 XLT in with a check engine light today. They found a
leak in the intake manifold. The dealer also, suggested an optional
software upgrade which is supposed to make my engine run more
"efficiently". All I could pry out of them was that it changes the

I wonder if anyone has experienced this problem. I have a 2000 EB with the
5.0L engine. The car has about 53,000 miles on it. Today I was sitting at a
stop light at idle when all of a sudden the engine just dies. Starts right
up and takes off with no problem. Didn't die again. I did ...

My 96 explorer made three loud clunks when driving down the road last week. I stopped the vehicle, looked under, and saw no obvious problems, so I continued home, the truck felt like the brakes were on, but they weren't, but after a few feet, it drove normally, and has so for the ...

I have an '02 XLT 4-Door that I want to put running boards on.  I've seen
the tubular kind but would really prefer the oem type that are more of a
"board" style with the checkerboard surface like the rear bumper has.  The
price I've seen for these is around $400 whereas the tubular ...

Almost 90,000 miles on it, for about a day the "check engine" light was on, eventually went off, I think it needed to be warmed up.  Then the engine started to make bad clanking sounds.  Later last night Im driving on the highway and the truck starts bouncing.  You know how you ...

Clunk when going over bumps, certain roads it's real clunkity.
Dealer "checked" the ball joints at my request and state the
driver's side needs replacement.  At the same time I took it in

My battery has finally died a death and needs replacing.
Having brought the USA bought XLT to the UK I cannot get an original battery
as designed for this 4.6L XLT 2WD Model.
However, I can get the battery for the UK edition 4.0L equivalent.

I bought a used 2003 AWD Explorer 4 door that has the 3.55 open
differential rear axle.  A salesman told me that Ford's AWD sends
power to all four wheels thus I do not need to have a limited slip

I have a 2001 explorer Sport and I am hearing a humming noise....Sounds like
its coming from the engine...I had the transmission flushed thinking maybe
that would solve the humming...but its still there...any suggestions?

If you are an Explorer owner and don't like the fact that you can no longer tow
a U-Haul trailer behind your Explorer, you can add your name to our protest

I picked-up a '96 Explorer in real nice shape, execept for a bad
trans, for very short money. Anybody here removed and replaced the
trans in this truck? I've done lots of others, including a couple
Rangers. Just looking for any tips before I get into it. I know it's a
