I've got a 1995 XLT 4WD Explorer, and want to buy a set of new tires.  I
live in Wisconsin, and we get a fair amount of snow.  I don't really do any
off road driving, and want the best tire for the vehicle.  By "best tire" I
mean safety, noise, wet and dry traction.  thanks.

My 97 EB has the air ride / auto-ride-height suspension. When I first bought
the truck 6 months ago, the system didn't work right, and I determined that
the left rear shock was leaking. I replaced it, and things seemed to work
fine. (The truck at least went up when I put it in ...

I've got an '02 Eddie Bauer that's developed a serious problem with the
upper glass portion of the lift gate.  This is the one that now has a recall
due to hinge failure.  Mine has gotten harder to latch recently and even
opened itself a couple of times before we were made aware of ...

I am planning on changing the stock brakes on my '96 XLT AWD V8.  Still
stock brakes at 86K miles.  
I notice the caliper bolts have a torx head on them.  
Since I need to buy a set of these I want to make sure I get the right

When I go over a bump, the front left speaker sometimes cuts out.  Turning
up the volume will sometimes bring it back.  Same for CD, tape and radio.
Changed front speakers - made no difference.  Can't find a fault with the
head unit (though I haven't tried a different unit yet).  ...

I have a 2003  XLT.  It did not come with side view mirror defrosters.
Ford made it sort of difficult to actually get them.  My question is:
Does anybody know if the wiring harness(s) is set up for them, and all
that has to be done is replace the side mirrors, or is it no-doable at

I have been having a problem with my 98 explorer sport. On trips over 1 1/2
hrs. on a highway when I stop and start again the explorer starts to
accelerate then jumps back to idle once I lift off the accelrator and step
back on it runs and acts normal. It has 78k on it and has new ...

Jim, what is your take on ceramic disc pads for my '97 EB, with
slightly over 50k on the odometer ?

OK guy's scratch your heads. "99" Limited. Had the truck in the shop for
some brake work and a minor detail (wash, vac) Picked it up and was again
pleased with the dealers work.Came home,parked in the garage. Hence didn't
bother to check/lock doors!

Was the 1977 Pinto V6 2800 an Interference Engine?

My Ford dealer wants $92 before tax. I'm looking for a source for part #
XL2Z-7862649-AA.
Thanks,

I noticed today during a routine check on my serpentine belt that the
tensioner cover was coming loose, this may be the cause of some "squeeling
noise" coming from under the hood. any feedback on how to repair this and
what the cost is.  It is only loose on one corner and I have ...

The problem is that the darn thing won't work.  We bought this 2000 Eddie
Bauer Edition Explorer when it had 33K miles on it.  The wiper worked
intermittently (somedays yes, most days no) when we got it.  Once my wife
was able to do some sort of manipulations to get it to work, then ...

I've changed shocks on other cars before but this is a first on my
truck. Any tips or pointers I should know? I know someone mentioned
lower the spare tire, but is there any other advice I should know about?
