About how much would it cost to repair a head gasket leak on a 1997 Ford Explorer 5.0L V8 OHV engine?

Okay, I'll try what you said (except for the caulking). Thank you for your help.

There is moisture around the sunroof headliner on my 1997 Ford Explorer. I have checked the drain tubes and they are clear. I have also checked the seal and that is in good condition. It has not rained in my area frequently and the Explorer has been garage-kept, but the headliner is still wet.

I have the OEM radio in my 1997 Ford Explorer with 6-CD changer and cassette. Is it possible to replace it with an aftermarket 6-CD changer in which the CD changer is within the main unit? What I'm looking for is something similar to the 2005 Explorer XLT CD changer...

When the weather is cold, the driver window on my 1997 Ford Explorer moves slowly. If I use the Auto Down feature, the window will stop and I have to keep pressing it to get the window completely down. This happens even when I've had the heat on for a while. The other windows move down at the...

The driver seat recliner handle broke off my 1997 Ford Explorer XLT and I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can order a replacement, preferably online. I don't want to go to the Ford dealer because my Explorer's warranty expired years ago and I can't afford to pay for parts and...

I have manual controls.

The floor vents in my Explorer do not work. If I turn them on, some heat comes out the defroster. I don't use the vent for heat because I don't want hot air blowing in my face. Lately, I've been using the defroster, but I don't like using that for heat all the time because it runs the...

Wow, that's pretty cold!

Yes, the windows are free of fog. :)

The compressor on my 1997 Explorer sometimes turns off for 6 seconds and turns back on. The weather is cold in my area. I can't use the floor vents because they don't work, so I use defrost or the dashboard vents, mostly defrost for heat.

I normally use my key fob to unlock my 1997 Explorer, but one time, I used the key in the driver door. While I was unlocking it, the "THEFT" light was flashing very fast. When I opened the door, the alarm went off.

My 1997 Ford Explorer has rear vents and I noticed that when the A/C is turned on in the back, the fan makes a knocking noise and no air comes out. What's causing this problem and is there a non-costly way to fix it?

Yes, I do get static. So far, I've only noticed the static on the driver speaker. Where is the factory amp and how did you bypass it?

Thank you 1ATony!

Here is my 1997 Ford Explorer XLT.

The front speakers in my 1997 Ford Explorer turn on and off randomly, sometimes when I go over a bump, and sometimes for no apparent reason. The speaker on the driver door had a rip in it. I replaced both of the original front speakers with Daewoo speakers, which look exactly like the original...
