I have the base model 1994 Explorer. I would like to add a cargo cover,
but I don't see how it would connect to the back seat. I see the slots
in the rear where it would connect, but not in the front. Perhaps the
base model seat doesn't have slots for the cargo cover?

I have a 99' ford explorer with a 4.0  v6, how hard is it to swap the
motor out for a v8, found a local one at a junkyard (it's a 98 with
65,000 on it).  Do I need a different tranny, radiator, exhaust, etc?

It's been good all these miles with normal sevice. No major repairs except
the blend door. I'm just wondering what to expect and what preemptive
service I should do to avoid costly on the road repairs. Fuel pump? Timing
belt/chain? Any suggestions. Thanks.

Is there any known problems with 1997 explorer with all wheel drive? I am
thinking of buying one.
Thanks
Stan

I am coming up on my 100,000 mile extended warrenty limit and I am
starting to experience some trouble with my AC/Heating unit. I get a
"cooing" noise, like a dove or pidgeon, when I accelarate.  It is not

I bought a new battery for my 96 Explorer 4WD V6 5 days ago. I stopped to
get gas, and had to get it jump started. I went back to AutoZone, they
checked the battery and the alternator. They said both were fine. They
recleaned the terminals and it started up. I also just had the ...

I made a stupid mistake today, and failed to close the back
upper window/door on my 2000 Explorer before I backed out of
the garage.  It hit part of the garage door and shattered.
Ford quotes about $650, parts and labor, to replace it.

I am thinking about replacing/checking by Tensioner because I am
hearing a droning noise when the truck is idling. Seems to be more
prominent in very hot weather.
I understand this is relatively easy to do. I took a look under the

use it to tow a 4000 lb boat through mountain highways.

My 98 is in need of new tires, the last two sets I put on were Michilin
XLT's.
Just not wanting to be blind is there a online source that rates the
different brands or is there a concensus on a brand and type.

Took the car in for its regular servicing, yesterday.
It has a little over 40,000 miles on it.
Service manager comes in and says the upper ball joints need
replacing. UPPER!!!!
