(I'm down about 2" on one side and maybe 4" on the other...

    Rear Wheel Bearings anyone?

    Well a few months ago I had the pleasure of trying to change the rear wheel bearings :) I did know that one of the bearings were gone, but guessed the wrong one :( taking out the bearing was not so simple at first - was prepared for that, from watching a bunch of videos on youtube. After some...

    saw some wheel talk ...

    I don't like the wheels tucked in, so when I picked up this truck I put on some wheel spacers on the rear rims Then I started to look at other cheap options... X5 rims with some adapter (running 265mm wide instead of the stock 215mm) then I got another set for winter and bought some ford...

    Right Hand Drive Explorers?

    I was searching to see if Ford made RHD explorers... there are some flavors. my limited searching hasn't netted a definite answer. Why do I ask? side mirrors!, I want a convex drivers side mirror (heated) for my ST. (did it for my VW, since they are available from Europe) If anyone knows...

    stalling? on hard/aggressive right turns (4.6l)

    I'm not sure if it is stalling or binding in the drivetrain but when I take a super aggressive right turn (high speed, probably large steering angle) the motor chokes out as if it ran into a brick wall. Left turns - never noticed symptom (maybe left turns are usually wider). anyone else...

    Sloppy Shifter Fix (link)

    My shifter on the steering column has become sloppy lately, sloppy enough that it didn't fully engage into park, and the truck would roll. I was going to do linkage adjustments, possibly buy a new shifter cable, but decided to do a search. there is a thread I found that explains how to fix...

    Another LED dome light thread

    I read this thread a while back: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251448 and finally found some LED modules that seemed ok - not cheap though like in the thread above. Probably around $10usd/pc in hand on e-bay. I liked these since the control circuitry is onboard, no...

    hard start after sitting > 0.5 hrs to 4 hrs, good start after 8-10hours = fixed!!

    So last (01/29/2008) month I bought a 2001 sport trac. the main problems were the door latch - didn't notice when I bought except the exterior handle was loose fixed that cheaply - see thread : http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=207373 so the next problem was: when I...

    door latch problem solved - temporarily maybe??

    So I've been reading about the door latch issue a bit now. my drivers side door fails to unlock with the RKE (remote keyless entry). The key itself has problems unlocking (like there's something jamming in there). I had observed at one point, that pressing the door handle while unlocking...

    4.0l hard start, after sitting for a while

    The truck seems to be having problems starting after sitting for a while. Starts well first time in the day, then depending on how long it has sat after first start of the day, there are issues. I found this: ************************** Make: FORD Model: EXPLORER SPORT TRAC Year...
