Hi all, I’ve been doing some searching on here for the current issue I’m having with my a/c but no luck. I’m having the very common vent defaulting to defrost on acceleration but here’s the kicker... it only does it on a/c. It works fine on heat. I’ve not been able to locate any leaks and with...

Thanks for the help!

Found it. The TSS, OSS, and ISS sensors all use the same part, Ford # DY1209 (7H103)

It has no dipstick and I know the location of it but none of the parts stores can find it in their parts catalog, so I don't know where to get it. I'm wondering if the input output sensors aren't the same part.

I have an intermittent code 0175 for the turbine shaft speed sensor but can;t find it at parts store. Everybody says they only show input/output sensor. Anybody know if maybe it's called something else or maybe can find me a ford part number. It's a 2002 explorer xls 4x4 with 4.0 automatic

I believe the Monroe OE spectrum Reflex struts I purchased come with a LLT warranty also.

I'm old school!! Why waste good springs? I already have the tools to change the springs so why not save money at the same time.

I'm thinking the bumper gets pushed all the way down with flat side up then the bellow then rubber cushion then stud plate then another cushion then flat washer and finally the nut, Any ideas anybody?

I have looked everywhere but still can't find anything that shows how these things go together. The struts on the vehicle are different as far as having the same parts. Does the bump cushion go on first or does the bellow go on first then the bellow? Worst instructions I've ever seen.

That’s what I was thinking just wish it would at least show how the cushion goes on. Thanks for the heads up on the coil spring compressor. That could hurt!!

I purchased Monroe Oespectrum Reflex struts for my 2002 Explorer. I'm going to reuse the springs and just replace the struts. While I haven't removed the old ones yet, I was going over the assembly instructions included with the struts and they don't seem to be all that clear to me. It says to...

It's not really felt in either the steering wheel nor the seat. It's pretty much the entire vehicle. I've been trying to track this down for two years now, I haven't tried putting it up on blocks and putting it in drive yet but it sounds like a good way to find it to me. I've done this on other...

My 2002 Explorer has a vibration that starts at 60 mph and smooths out at around 70mph. I can’t tell if it’s coming from the front or rear. Wife says rear. I’ve replaced all wheel bearings. It’s been doing this for about two years now and doesn’t seem to be getting any worse. I have noticed the...

Replaced 3 sensors on transmission and abs sensor on differential but no luck. Back to the drawing board.Anybody have any ideas? It also seems like it doesn't have near as much power when it's acting up but as soon as the key is turned off and restarted it's fine. I have noticed a rough id;e...

I've had this problem for a very long time with this vehicle. I even purchased a rebuilt transmission and installed it but the problem was still there. The transmission shop I took it to hooked it up to a scanner and drove it and was able to experience the hard shift but nothing was on the...

I have a 2002 Explorer XLS 4.0 4x4 that has a strange rough shifting issue. It is very intermittent and only shifts rough after the vehicle load changes. I may drive all week by myself and have no issues then drive to town with the wife and kids and it runs fine, but shut it off and drive it and...

I've looked on here for an hour trying to figure out what size bolts are needed to bolt the hoist chains to the existing threaded holes in a 2002 4.0 but am still unsure. I'm thinking they are m12 x 1.75 but I don't know what length. Does that sound right and does anyone know what length ? Just...

My2002 Explorer XLS 4x4 has developed the timing chain death rattle and I have decided to just install a new long block engine. My vin code is E and I have found one I'm interested in at Rockauto https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7126276&cc=1377660 is this the correct engine or does it...

I've been reading some of the threads on here looking for answers and came across the tire size issues people are having with tires that aren't wore evenly or not matching tires. I have a tire on the back driverside that is practically brand new with the other three tires being almost ready for...

I recently posted a thread called http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/strange-transmission-problems-any-help-would-be-a-godsend.464194/ where I was having a strange intermittent problem with my transmission shifting hard with a clunking sound and the engine sounding like it was...

Thanks for the help Sir!

Just a quick question. Why do all the manuals for transmission removal say to mark relationship of the torque converter to the drive plate and when reinstalling align marks? How is this possible with a new torque converter?

Thank you James for your reply. It's really great when others are willing to offer help. I sort of had the same idea as what you describe. I've already been looking into a rebuilt transmission, so I guess I'll take the plunge. Have you ever seen symptoms be so intermittent and go away by...

I have a 2002 Explorer xls 4x4 with a 5r55w Tranny that has developed some strange issues. First thing I noticed is that it developed a low whine when I have my foot on the gas pedal.If I take my foot off the pedal it goes away. A couple of months later we were going down the road and when...

Ok. I have a 2002 XLS 4x4 Explorer 4.0 which has suddenly started making noise in the rear area of the vehicle.I have tried to identify where the noise is coming from but from inside the vehicle it sounds like it's everywhere in the back. It starts out as a low rumble going down the road and...
