The current owner says he took it to a mechanic and they say it's a timing chain issue. Any suggestions on weather it's worth 600$ ?
My experiance is only on the first generation models.

When you press the button one direction, you get nothing. When you press it the other direction you get a noisy whirring sound. Is this a common issue with these vehicles? I know my vast explanation of the problem is very mechanically detailed... :)

Are these lumbar motors or whatever easy to repair? Or is this something I should just let alone? ]]> 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac Drusillus http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=260904 Adventures in water heaters.. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=260903&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:35:20 GMT The old water heater tank sprang a leak on Saturday morning.

Came out to the garage, and heard a high-pitch whine, and water all around the heater.

It appears the water heater was about 15 years old, and it was the cheapest unit they could find to install..

Of course, like all things in this house, they messed up the install.

Good news, the replacement gets kicked out of the garage, and is much smaller and better! Yahoo! I can finally fill the jacuzzi tub with out draining the water heater! Yes, I'm already planning on getting the 30% tax credit (not deduction - a CREDIT!).

I found lubricant in the passenger side rear wheel/break area. Took it to my local shop. They indicated it was probably the seals, but would need to look into the noise. They used a stethescope and isolated the noise to the rear differential. Given the high miles, and my not wanting to spend too much asked them to just replace the axle seals and fill with new lubricant and an additive that they felt might help the noise. Upon getting in there, they cant get to the seals because the Differential Pinion Shaft Lock Bolt broke. This is common. They charge $400 to pull it out and quoted $800 for the total job. They will not guarantee that the noise will be gone.
