Hello Jim:
      I've been seeing many of your fine responses on this newsgroup for quite
some time now. Sure is great of you to share your knowledge as you do.
      I have wanted to ask you a question re: a minor maplight problem on a 95

Jim, or anyone that might know,
   I have a '92 EB with an automatic trans and I can't get the stupid thing
to go into Lo no matter how many times I push the button, check the fuses,
tap the motor, or check connections. It don't even get a silly click. What

Automatic 4x4 with 3.73 rear by the way.   When accelerating, what are the last
several shifts/events that should occur in sequence?  3-4, 4-5, T/C clutch
engagement. Or is the sequence T/C lock, 3-4, 4-5.  Or can the transmission
modulate the clutch to effectively achieve a partial ...

HI Jim (and others),
I read with interest the Engine Misfire postings. My 99 SOHC (107,000
mi) just did similar things, but is still sitting in the local shop,
unable to be started  ...

I was going to check my rear axle fluid soon. I looked under the car and saw
that it looks like it will be hard to get at the fill plug because it seems the
gas tank is in the way. Can someone give me advice on how difficult it was to
check. Also, what tool is best to open the fill ...

Hi all - I hope I'm posting to the right group. This looks like a very
knowledgable n.g.
I bought an '82 F-100 w/straight 6, 2-barrel, 4 speed, in pretty good
shape a few months ago. I had the oil changed, fluids checked, a minor

Thanks for your help, Jim.  
Everyone I tell this to thinks the same thing.  This shop is actually
the largest Ford dealer in York.  They worked on it for two days both
times I took it in.  The shame is that it ran great before I took it in

"Those problems even exist on Explorers up to 2002.  The SOHC truly
is a bunged design."
The above from a previous post is not helping me to feel better about
resolving my problem.  I took my 97 Explorer with the 4.0L SOHC (4x4) in

My 98 SOHC 4.0 just had the timing chain slap/wear through the housing
on the way home from work yesterday.   I've got 130 K miles.  Blue
book private party is $7000 to $8000.  I am pretty sure Ford did the
TSB on mine some time back, and I will track down the paperwork to see

auto, V8, leather, all power,
109.5k miles, Purple, sliding roof, roof rack, etc.
Good Condition and very clean.
Must sell

Can someone please tell me where I can purchase additional wireless
headphones for my 2004 Explorer with a built in rear DVD entertainment
system?  Does anyone know if I can just purchase them from buy.com or other
similar provider?  I've checked the owner's manual and the rear seat ...

I have a 1994 XLT 4x4 with 138 K miles. I seem to remember this
happening way back after I had the truck a few years. The gauge, after
filling up recently, started slowly moving to E. Now, it remains at E
regardless how full the tank is. Any suggestions or ideas. Thanks.

96 Explorer with 101k miles - Coming home today, I notice the water
gauge fluctuating between a half an inch to an inch while driving at a
steady pace down the highway.  It's been a couple of years since I
flushed the coolant and replaced the hoses.  

98 Explorer, 4.0 SOHC, 108k miles.  I took it in to the local
tire/brake/lube shop that has one of those machines that replaces all the
transmission fluid.  They performed the service, and I drove home about 6
miles and parked it Saturday.

Hi!  I don't see the radiator drain plug on my 98 V6 SOHC.  Do I need to
remove the black plastic shroud that covers the bottom of the radiator to
get to it?  The lower radiator hose looks accessible--can I use that to
drain the radiator instead.  Appreciate any advice.
