    2002 4.6L Rear Bearings Axle?

    Update, we got the hub assembly apart. You have to disconnect the emerg brake line pop out three bolt on the back-side and pull what looks like ball joints. Once out, pulled out an o-ring and pounded out the rotor. I also found the emergency brake shoes were all busted up. So, for this job...

    Sorry it took so long to get back to this thread. I haven't been driving my explorer as the sound has been getting worse. Yes, I learned it is the bearing pack. My dealer said it was 6-750 per side. I was able to get the parts needed to do the job for about $100. Regarding the warranty, I...

    2002 4.6L Rear Bearings Axle?

    I forgot to mention... my expploer has a drivetrain warranty still... is this something that is covered? I don't want to take it in and find out cause the dealer charges $200 just to look at it. If this would be considered part of the drivetrain THAT WOULD BE SWEET! If not, I'm going to...

    2002 4.6L Rear Bearings Axle?

    Need Remote Start Help

    Yes, it is delayed. I actually was procrastinating a bit cause I didn;t want to pull the dash and search in the kick and all. Finally, I got a new woofer and am going to do a custom build were the factory sub is located. Long story short, there was the factory module, so I ran a wire from the...

    Need Remote Start Help

    This post above is accurate. The middle plug on the security module (green) has 16 wires. The grn/purp pin #5 is the factory disarm wire neg input. It's required to deactivate when installing an aftermarket keyless. I did not have to use it for the remote start when using the pats...

    Hello minnesota

    Where are you located? Perhaps we could kick off something based on your invite? Most clubs will meet about once a month I've found. And based on size combine with other clubs and do regional stuff once or twice a year. Guess we're small enough to plan what ever we want without too much...

    2002 4.6L Explorer Fuel Pressure Regulator?

    Does the 2002 Explorer 4.6L have a fuel pressure regulator? If so, is there a part number or link to a place I could price it out? On occasion I've had to push in the gas to start it. Someone suggested a fuel pressure regulator; searching for one, nothing seems to come up? Same issue...

    Hello minnesota

    Well, there are finally a couple more! I have been waiting to see if there are others interested in an afternoon get-together. It would be cool to start with at least 10 confirmed cars/people or more. It could be something as simple as a BBQ in a lot or at a local farm, etc. I know with...

    2002 4.6L V8 Eddie Baur Explorer dies at Idle

    OK, here's a turn for the worse! I pushed the 4X4 button as I was going up this drive way. Suddenly, I gave the car gas but could not get any RPM's to go up... it felt like it wasn't getting any gas. I turned it off let it sit a minute then turned it on. It ran OK, then did the same thing...

    SmartKey Mod Idea...

    I agree with the previous post... get a remote start... plus, get some actuators, shave the door handles, install some suicide door hinges with air lifts... and even better... your doors open at the touch of a button, and it start w/o a key too!

    If your using your factory deck or using an aftermarket deck, it's the same as using an amp (just less power). Use the cross-over as shown or you'll damage those speakers.

    E-85

    How can I find out if my explorer is flex fuel? I have an 02 eddie baur 4.6L? I'd like to try E85, there's a station near my house it's anywhere from 40-60 cents/gal cheaper on a given day. Plus, E85 is cleaner and runs at a higher octaine rating... all good news for me if I can use it. thanks!
