the haynes manual says to just throw channel locks onto the old pads before removing them to depress the pistons. is it more effective, or better even, to use the C-clamp method?

windex, elbow grease, and scotchbrite pads. couldnt believe how good window cleaner worked vs. pricey tire/rim cleaners

i had a problem with my engine overheating. i followed your guide step by step on replacing the thermostat and it, well, again -- i had a problem... thanks for the info charlie. :thumbsup:

my ABS light was on for three years. i bought the new sensor at advance auto parts ($12), jacked up the rear of the truck, replaced the old one. light is now off. thanks for the info...:thumbsup:

i had the same problem as above as well as no reverse. after a ton of research on these boards (thanks to users 'Opera House' and 'Glacier991') i found my symptoms matched a valve body gasket problem. i called my tranny guy to ask him to take a look at the valve body gasket. it only cost me...

my check engine light was on and i had a pinging in my acceleration (mainly up hill). i pulled the code, it directed me to the MAF. opened it up and found a tiny spider, dead, wrapped around the sensor! sprayed it down with brake cleaner, let it dry, light went off, passed inspection. huge...

i know where to look for it, but what is the easiest way to reach the rear abs speed sensor? do you have to jack the truck up? is it easy to see once underneath? thanks in advance.

yep. the IAC for the SOHC is $74...:scratch:

i found it on autozone dot com for $42. maybe cause i have a 4.0 OHV?

south59: thanks so much. this was the exact part (thought it was going to be generic & needing "creative installation") that i needed! i owe you a cold one :chug: everyone else out there: if your heat/A.C. only comes out of defrost on all settings, check this globe & it's lines first. so easy...

i was wondering what the best reference guide is to use for explorer 'do it yourself' maintenance & repair. i have a decent set of tools, one of those Haynes repair books, and some auto know-how (no formal training, biggest job was a clutch plate & fly-wheel replacement). Is there a site...

i had the same problem as above as well as no reverse. had my mechanic change the speed sensor and do a tranny service. he said it was real dirty when he dropped the pan. all of this did nothing, so he referred me to his tranny guy. after a ton of research on these boards (thanks to users 'Opera...
