    1999 Exp Sport - end of life?

    Well my mechanic fixed it up by using block sealant again and also using a different kind of spark plug more tolerant of coolant in the cylinder! He also changed the O2 sensors and its now running a lot better. I only need it to last another 6-9 months! Glad its running sweet again.

    Oil Pressure Gauge problem

    I have the same issue on a 1999 Sport which i just acquired. It looks really odd to see the oil pressure needle the wrong side of the pin or stop. I guess the only way to fix it is to take the gauge cluster apart. Goodness knows how it got to the other side of the pin in the first place.

    Radiator - manual transmission

    OK great thanks for the replies guys. I looked at the RockAuto part and it seems the manual version has one row, but the auto trans version has two. So i'll just buy the one row version specific to the manual transmission car.

    Radiator - manual transmission

    Does anyone know if the radiator part number for a 5 speed is different from the one used for an auto trans truck? Mine is a 1995 Explorer Sport 5 speed - some parts suppliers do not make it clear. I think the radiator used in auto trans trucks differs because it has to accept the transmission...

    cruise control problem

    Cruise control problem now solved. After trying two different second hand cc modules and not having either of them appear to work, I reached down and checked the switch attached to the clutch pedal lever. Low and behold, the black plastic switch piece was not pushed fully home on the clutch...

    Cruise control unit from a 1998 Mercury Moutainer, but will fit similar Ford Explorer models and may well fit other years. Item is used and is untested, but it appears to be in good condition and I have no reason to think it will not work. Check the part number to make sure it will fit your...
