My heater will only come on if the outside temp reads 60 degrees or
more on the overhead console, and then it doesn't come on every time.
I looked through past posts but didn't find anything like this
although the "blend door" problems sound somewhat similar. Is there a

What is the correct Motorcraft spark plug for 2000 Limited 5.0 V8?  I will
probably use Motorcrafts; the originals have given me good service.
Is it SP432 (Autozone shows this) or AWSF-32EE (owners manual shows this)?

I was getting the textbook "clunck" sound in the frontend of my 94 explorer
(still had factory RAB's) --I took it to an alighnment shop -hey said the
RAB's weren't too bad but, I had the RAB's replaced anyway-  I still have an

steering wheel is turned all the way i get one loud clunk sound from the
front end, sometimes it sounds like it could be from either side, any
suggestions, thanks.

We have a 2001 Explorer Sport 2WD, 4.0L SOHC.  I got a new fuel filter
from the parts store, but when I went under the truck to change it,
the existing filter does not match the one I got from the store.  The
existing filter has two inputs and one output; the new filter has only

I just found out my brake lights are malfunctioning. All three lights wont go
on until I push hard on the brakes. The guys who changed my oil think its an
electrical short since all three back lights are not working. Could it be the
Brake Light Switch or a full blown short? I'd also ...

Anyone have or know of any detailed resources/instructions for
bleeding the brake lines and replacing brake calipers and pistons for
the front of a 93 Ford Exploder.  Any specialty tool recommendations?
Thanks in advance,

These lights flash exactly 6 times every 1 to 2 minutes while driving. Is
this an indication that a sensor or a relay is going out?  Doesn't seem to
effect the vehicle when it is in or out of 4WD.

ND  (there's only one so you should easily figure out who it is) tried
to talk me into.

I've done some searching and see what people expect to pay for the plugs and
the wires, but I've seen nothing on the expected labor charges to get this
take care of. I took my 99 mountaineer with the 5.0 v8 to get the
plugs/wires changed out since it started running pretty rough a ...
