    97 Explorer Sport wet in cargo area after wash or rain

    Does your truck have a sun roof? I had the same issue and originally thought it was those rear windows and after tightening the bolts on both sides the problem was still there...turns out the rear sunroof drain hose kinked on my drivers side, and that stopped the water flow, so the water would...

    After 6 years of driving explorers....

    I did the exact same thing as the op except I traded my other car in for a 2010 Jetta with 23k, and kept the Explorer of course haha. I went with 2.5 also except mine has the 6 speed conventional auto (blah but it does shift nice and has sport mode)...can't beat the gas mileage compared to the...

    Air Filter Recommendation?

    I never had a MAF problem either with my mac cold air intake which had an oiled open element filter...I've got the stock assembly with a Purolator filter on now, gets like 1 mpg better :D but doesn't sound as good under acceleration :(

    2000 5.0L Radiator

    It was for the 4.0 SOHC, and yeah it looked exactly the same in the picture as the 5.0 one but it is a different model number so something has to be different lol

    2000 5.0L Radiator

    2000 5.0L Radiator

    I used a Spectra Premium CU2308 radiator in mine, not sure if its single or double row but it's supposed to be a factory replacement type...done about 2000 miles with it, no overheating or any other problems so far. It looks like it's $140 on amazon but I paid $116+ shipping for it on rockauto.com

    Blend door not moving.

    The in-car air temp sensor is behind the little vent looking thing between the radio bezel and the pass. airbag cover. The 604-202 part number is the Dorman brand part number, so that's why you're not seeing it on the actuator that you took out of the truck since that one wasn't made by Dorman...

    Blend door not moving.

    Yup do some searching on here too cause I know there's lots of threads about this, I did find this one which talks about the model numbers for the auto and manual ones and the quality of aftermarket ones vs. getting the part from ford http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=318602...

    Blend door not moving.

    The clicking sound definitely sounds like a bad blend door actuator, had the same problem/sound with my friend's 99 Explorer Limited, we replaced the actuator and it works now. There's a different blend door actuator for the system with manual A/C controls vs. the auto climate control that you...

    Oil Pressure Craziness and Knocking

    Thanks so much for the replies and suggestions! Yes my truck does have the 5.0L V8, and I don't have the tools or expertise to take the engine apart that much unfortunately :( my dad's friend that's a mechanic suggested that I immediately change the oil and filter...the oil seemed unusually...

    Oil Pressure Craziness and Knocking

    So I was driving home from school today and I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was going crazy, when I accelerated it started moving rapidly between L and H, just bouncing all over the place. When I was just coasting or just sitting at a light idling, it went to the normal halfway mark and...
