radio/CD.
I'm interested to find a way to connect my MP3 player to this head unit
without using FM transmitter. As far as I've seen there is no Auxiliary

Now that some time has passed  since the Firestone situation, I think it is
interesting that you don't hear or read anything about Explorer rollovers.

Ford said the rollovers were due to Firestone tire ...

Hey there. I've got a 98 5.0 V8 Explorer XLT with 68k on it. I've got a
problem with heat and AC where, regardless of the
setting(heat/ac/floor/front vents/defrost), all air ONLY comes out of

I'm doing some used car shopping and I was wondering.
Is there a place online where one can get a dealer repair history report on
a specific vehicle based on the VIN? Or do I have to go to a Ford dealership

I have a 2000 Expedition with Premium sound (whatever that is).  How do
I get the speaker grills off?  They appear to have a clip with an

Looking for opinions based on experience with different brands.
I do drive it pretty hard, so I'd like something that performs better than

My cruise control stopped working.  I turn it on and when I reach my
desired spreed and press the coast button the dashboard cruise control
indicator flashes once.  Any idea as what the problem might be?
I read that the 1999 Explorer cruise control has self-test diagnostics.

Has anyone bought one without the third row seats?  They are optional on
both models.  The hole between the rear 2 rows when they are in the fully

When I break in my car, the Pedal goes all the way to the floor with
little or no noise, but also little or no breaking... I know my rotors

a Replace my Breaks kind of problem?
