I believe they are plastic so maybe it cracked? Also the pvc valve is there, maybe the oil is leaking from there

If the airbag chime is the same as the one for the headlights on and key in ignition then it is located in the speedometer cluster--It looks like a round black button and is in the upper left hand corner (looking at cluster from drivers seat)--I removed mine 5 years ago and soldered in a jumper...

If I remember they were T30 and had to tighten to 89 inch lbs.

You will need torx head for the manifold bolts--(with an extension)--Also a mirror to get the ones in the back by the firewall--Unless you remove hood to get a bords eye view--You do not have to remove the bolts on the manifold, just back them out--They will stay in the manifold while you lift...

I recently did mine also--To break free the large nut for the EGR on the mainfold I actually removed the passenger side inner fenderwell and stuck a large pipe wrench thru there onto the nut--I only got a 1/4 turn at a time, but it worked!!

I just changed my intake gaskets and had the bag (2003 4.0 Flex) under my intake--I thought it was a heat blanket to protect the plastic intake

Chances are it is the blend door actuator--Mine made a loud clicking (almost banging) noise when it gave out--I actually had no problem changing mine, due to the excellent write ups and info from this site--I did have a dealer quote me $ 700.00 to do it (car was in for recall)--

I have an 03 (V6) with factory tow package and used it to tow a 4500lb boat--And like leftlane 36 said, on flats it was fine but slowed down when it saw a hill--Never failed or ran hot, however-

x2, Be prepared to change parking brake shoes--I've had real good luck with Wagner Thermo Quiet Pads--70k out of the last set--

Had Tranny serviced at 50k and 100k and it was rebuilt at 145k

Mine has been broken forever--I just fit a nylon zip tie thru the holes to use has a handle--

Probably need a new rack and pinion--Happened to a friend of mine a short time ago on his 02'

x2 on the thermostat--Same exact thing happened w/me--When I changed it, the old thermostat came out in 2 pieces--The spring was broke--

I wrapped the old belt around the pulley then clamped the pulley from the back with a vice grip--Then used a pipe wrench to free the fan--The vice grip acts as a "stop" when it catches on the pump--

I installed one in my 03' XLT--No Rear Air, and it didn't have a mounting plate or wiring there--I also have a moonroof I had to contend with--Best Buy said they couldn't install one in the car because of the lack of clearance--I removed the trim for the moonroof and found a metal crossbrace...

I removed the chime itself--It's in the back of the instrument cluster--I wear my seatbelt 100% of the time, but leave my key in the ignition and that's what got to me-

I did mine in my 2003 XLT 2 weeks ago and followed the hints in this post http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198271&highlight=blend+door

Nice and neat repair--Looks great--Hope it works out OK--

http://jbweld.net/products/water.php This has never let me down, but I never tried it on a gas tank--

I have the same exact symptoms--ABS Light only comes on during hard acceleration--I have changed the sensor on the master cylinder and the one on the rear differential (2 easiest and least expensive) and still comes on--Time to go get the code read--

Funny, I did my brakes last Tuesday and was missing the drivers side lower caliper bolt--I thought the pads were worn , but the noise was the caliper rubbing on the rim when I applied thre brakes--I got a replacement bolt at Lowe's--The one by me has a pretty good hardware selection--.82 cents--

I actually removed the chime itself--It is soldered into the back of the speedometer cluster--The belt chime didn't annoy me because I wear my seat belt, but the same chime stays on when you leave your keys in the ignition ( I leave my keys in )--I just soldered in a jumper wire--

The indicator cable is seperate from the cluster--You can remove the cluster without removing the cable + indicator--
