    05 explorer rotor rubbing backing plate

    So i did all the pads and rotors, now the lip of the drum is hitting the groove of the backing plate under the pb/eb shoes. Sounds like from more than one wheel.

    What would be clogging it though? There was no rust or anything. The coolant was green, when drained it and ran the flush it came out clear. When i back flushed the heater core directly it was clear.

    05 explorer no heat

    So i dropped the glove box to look around in there. The top actuator(?) that has the red vacumm hose going to it, when i pull the vacuum line off, the rod comes out, the vents close, and i can feel vacuum when i put my finger on the end of the hose. When i pull the blue vacuum hose off the...

    Thats weird. Why would AC run on deforst mode? AC should have nothing to do with deforst. Jus robs you for more power n gas to have AC on while defrost is on. Who uses AC when they need to defrost lol. Stupid Ford. So i finally had some free time today. After driving with the flush fluid in...
