    Noise when going over speed bumps

    The bushings wear out, especially in harsher climates, like really cold or really hot. I see you are from the desert so I m sure that they have just dried up. The factory bushings are not the greatest IMO but I know that if you go to a NAPA or any other brand bushing that they are way superior...

    new guy with concerns

    Just wanted to throw in my $.02 in on the transmission clunk. Most times when a transmission is put into park there is quite a space from the gear to the park "pawl". The clunk is because you are trying to move the shifter from the park pawl into gear and that is where you clunk is comming...

    Rear end roar-is there a fix?

    You might want to start here...I am not sure if you have this issue but it solved the vibration issue when at steady speeds and when accelerating as well as the low speed rub/vibration when turning I had as well. Check out this link...

    limited slip clutches

    Its not a matter of rebuilding them its a matter of replacement. As well, if you do not have to go to a stealership then don't. Any mechanic can do this for you and probably a heck of alot cheaper too!!!! :)

    Shudder off the line with 02 v8 EB

    Mine does as well, which could be gear lash. But until you get the clutch packs replaced it might be hard to tell. If your getting a shop to look at it they can measure the gear lash to see if it is within specs. No problem, like to help out when I see that someone has the same problem as I...

    Transmission oil - BG?

    I worked at a Honda dealership and we sold this product quite a bit. The only advantage I can see you getting from this product is that they do have their own warranty and will cover any repairs that may be caused by their fluids. The flush is really good as they have their own Flush Machine...

    Grinding noise when turning 2004 Explorer with Control Trac 4wd

    This the same problem that I have right now. I have looked into doing myself if I didn't have an extented warranty. FYI to those who would like to do it themselves it is a big job, the book and TSB says 5 hours for a trained FORD tech to do it. I have talked to a few techs and they said it is...

    Strange Rubbing/Vibration when turning......

    If you are having the symtoms that I have then you need to replace the clutch packs. I would do it myself but have not torn apart an IRS type suspension and would rather not break and screw something up the first time trying :D I am taking it to a mechanic and have it repaired under...

    Strange Rubbing/Vibration when turning......

    If you heard this you would know for sure it is not normal. The guy I work with has an 03 XLT and I have driven it a few times to compare and his is quiet and not a noise at all. So I know it is not a normal noise! :D

    Strange Rubbing/Vibration when turning......

    I have an 2004 Explorer XLT Auto with the auto 4wd. I have had some problems in the past with the front wheel bearings and had the driver side replaced and thought it would solve this problem I am having now. Let me break it down and maybe someone might know the solution before I have to throw a...

    A/C always 0n?

    A/C will cycle on every setting except for floor setting. This is due to the a/c system removing humidity from the air, helps in the defrost etc. If it cycles when in floor mode then there is a problem. :)

    Factory Remote Starters!

    The problem I have with a/m remote starts is that there is alot of wiring to be done and if you get some hack to do it (which most shops hire young fresh outta school guys) and they cut into the wiring harness and then you have an electrical nightmare that in my case would void my extended...
