My radio stays on after the key is turned off.  I seem to remember some mention of a way to disable this feature in the
manual, but now I can't find it.  Does anyone know how it's done?

What is the easiest way to change the bulbs in the speedometer?

The trans of my 98 Explorer (4WD, SOHC, 5spd AOD) is beginning to have a
problem deciding which gear it wants to be in.  It does a lot of up and
down-shifting under either light or moderate acceleration - but, so far

My 91 with 126 K miles has a problem with the elctrical system.  Volt meter
on the dash wanders on the high side.  I have put a voltmeter across the
batter with the engine running and read 14.5 to 15.5 with a steady
frequency.  Checked the alt at Autozone on and off the car and ...

Have a '98 Exp. with 4.0L V6. Like some help on these "performance chips"
that are available on current market. Has anyone used them? How about the
intake air kits from K&N and others?

Was just hoping that someone might have an opinion as to whether my

XLT V-6 SOHC (69,000 miles) off at the dealer this morning for what I

I have noticed that Ford is recommending that tires be replaced after six
years, regardless of the remaining tread.  Apparently, they have determined
that the tire's internal components are subject to failure after 6 years and
the tires are no longer safe.  Ford also says to ...

Any advance info on significant changes planned for the 06
model year?  The design is probably frozen by now, and very
little chance of significant changes between now and
September.

Recently while driving my truck no more than 26 miles to and from to work
my temperature gage will fluctuate to hot. But as I check under my hood
the engine's cool. My on-board computer also says "engine temp ok." As I
stop for a minute and let the truck idle, when I take off again ...

I have a replacement DPFE, and I'm ready to get rid of the pesky MIL
indicator (check engine light) so I can get my '97 Explorer inspected and
avoid paying the NC government $250 for emissions issues.  :-)
PROBLEM:  Can't locate the darned thing on the engine.
