I scheduled some service on my 2003 '03 Mountaineer V8 that will be 3 years
old on Sept 15th. I've never done anything under the hood except oil
changes, a fuel filter at 30,000 miles and an air filter.
The dealer suggests a tranny flush ($139) and a coolant drain and fill

On a '99 Explorer Sport 4.0 automatic, column shift.
How is the gear shift indicator aligned?
What would cause it to become unregistered suddenly?
Over one day it shifted such that each gear apeared

Looked today at my gauge cluster and found that it is starting to get two
cracks in the plastic over the top of all the gauges. Wow, I can't think
what has caused this.
Anyone seen this? I'm at 250,000 miles now. Anyone replaced the plastic

Anyone buy a used one at a "you pull it", if so what's a fair price for a
decent one?
tnx

I saw photos of the '06 Explorer/Mountaineer and it looks like they have
some nice improvements. Of course at $2.50/gallon and rising, I can't see
trading in my '03 for another 13MPG-around-town guzzler. My guess, however,
is that by Xmas these beasts will be littering up dealer ...

    At what model year did the Explorer have a standard CD player/
AM/FM Stereo as opposed to the standard Cassette player?  My son is
driving a 95 XLT with the cassette and would like the CD.  I'm
thinking I could pick up a CD big button version from a salvage yard.

I have a 1998 ford explorer and I still have the manufactured cd player in
my car. It works fine except the display light doesn't work, so I have to
guess what number or radio station it's on,does anyone know what the
problem may be?

move,could the wiper motor gone bad?,somebody please tell me what the
problem may be

Last week I posted how difficult it is to remove FACTORY installed oil
filters.  Most post repliers, except for Jim Warman, didn't seem to
understand my post and tried to help me install a new filter (oil gasket,
hand tighten, etc.).

The display shows "CD ERROR" and will not eject/ load / or play.
There are 4 CD's in the unit and nothing works.
All other functions are OK.
This is a 2002 explorer.

Need to replace front rotors and pads.  Not knowing any better, I am leaning
towards Bendix brand, but it is significantly more expensive.
I wonder if the Bedix price is worth the money, or what brand would be the best
?

My professionally installed window tint film is starting to peel away from
the tops of some of the windows in my exploder, 4 years after it was
installed.
Any solutions?

Hello to All,
I have a 1999 Explorer XLT 2WD 4.0 SOHC.  Now with about 76K miles I'm
having what appears to be my first problem (other than the killer tire
swap).

I have a 96 I bought used several years ago, and in this time I've never
had it tuned up. I've never experienced any drivablility issues, so I'm
wondering if it should be done despite this?
I have had the air filter changed a few times, but not the other typical
