'05 XLT V6, ~85k. Truck was suffering from P0430 (Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank 2)) and moderately uneven idle for few years, but yesterday -- peaceful local driving, stopped at intersection, when started moving (no noticeable "pop" or "clang" or whatever) -- engine shaking...

It started suddenly, in the middle of the trip. Symptoms: any attempt to accelerate as usual -- causes huge power loss, huge drop in RPMs (and pull drop) -- then immediately rise of RPMs (and rise of pull) -- then drop again... With period for this drop-rise cycle about 1-2 seconds. Throttle...

92 XLT 2WD, A4LD transmission. I'd like to replace my transmission oil pan with one with built-in oil drain plug. It is made by Dorman, Dorman 265-831. Websites selling it say "4WD A4LD", mine is 2WD. Is there really a difference? Can I install it on my 2WD A4LD? Thanks in advance! Link...

Swaybar kits for 92 stock Explorer - Addco or Hellwig? Reducing body roll For couple of years my 92 XLT was taking rest on the driveway, and I kinda forgot how willingly it rolls on turns and bumps. However, this summer it became my daily driver again - and will stay so for some foreseeable...

Not always. Just sometimes - under some specific combination of temperature/humidity, I guess. But when it does - it does it so loud it squeaks the hell out of me :eek: It's not the regulator parts - it's glass surface sliding with friction along rubber strips on the door, bottom part of the...

Hi All, Well, here it goes. Loud rattling sound from under the car, started overnight. I got under and looked - it comes from the left catalytic converter. First I was hoping it's a piece of gravel or something, which got under the converter heat shield, but all my shaking, hitting, and...
