Sorry if this is posted incorrectly or in the wrong area, I will remove and/or repost in the correct please if I need to. So I have a 2011 Ford Explorer Limited with around 80k miles, I am not the original owner. I've had several problems and have some questions... I recently brought my car...

Hi All, I recently purchased an '08 Ford explorer (former government vehicle) it's got 80K miles and I don't have specifics on its maintenance besides it oil changes. I have two questions, what are some parts and areas or maintenance you recomend I check out and see if its been replaced or...

I am looking to buy a 2017 Explorer XLT AWD with the 3.5l 58k miles, is there anything I need to worry about besides the water pump expenses? How can I tell if a water pump is going bad or is it something that just happens? What is the average lifetime of the water pumps before they leak or...

Issues with our Explorer that I sometimes see on other Explorer's from this generation is uneven tire wear. The tires in the front wear down from the inner part or (toe wear). It might be wearing down because the shocks are old and worn or the sway bar links are not connected anymore. Also I...

Hello, just swapped a bad tranny out of my 1992 xlt for a good one out of my '91. Finally got the whole thing in the '92, but when I go to start it I just hear a click, I believe from the starter solenoid making the click. I leave the key at the on position and pop the hood only to find smoke...

My cruise control isn't working, no surprise there it seems. Has never worked in my ownership. Replaced the cutoff switch and still nothing. I found a post on Ford Forums Online http://www.fordforumsonline.com/threads/self-test-cruise-control-check-engine.1486/ with the cruise control self...

Hi all, I recently bought a late early build 02 Explorer at auction completely beat up - i repaired it however missed that the blower motor harness is missing. (The harness that plugs into the blower motor.) Does anyone know what it looks like or where i can get a ew harness?? Thanks!

I installed new lift spindles on my 05 sport trac over the weekend. I have been doing a lot of research on this to make sure I got everything right. I put on smaller rotors and extended my brake line. I dropped it off to get aligned this morning and they called back saying they couldn't fix it...

Hi all, I'm back after a long break. I used to have an '02 which I loved, but ultimately had to get rid of. I'm now looking at replacing my current SUV with something else, and was looking at an '06 V8 with 83k miles. It's about 11k and has a clean history, but not a lot of service records...

I've about had all I can take with this truck. I understand that the truck won't run forever, certainly not already having 200K on it, but I have so many problems that I can't seem to find and neither can anyone else. 1.) My AC doesn't blow hard AT ALL. Can't cool the cabin if the...

a few weeks back i had finally gotten around to changing my tie rods and lower ball joints, used all moog problem solver parts. the install went ok and i went about my business. a few days later i noticed a problem with my steering, first off let me say that my steering wheel is slightly ****ed...

I have a 1992 Ford Explorer XLT and this morning I drove down the street and back and it was running rough the last few days and after I parked it I went inside and took a shower and came back out and went to start it and it made one tick and then stopped. I then opened the hood and saw one of...

Hi all, I have a 98 Explorer EB w/ a MACH head unit. Everything works including CD player, sub woofer even the tape deck but, the display is out. If tried fixing it with the instructions from some threads on here but it doesn't work maybe I suck at soldering. But DORMAN has just come with an...

Let me start by saying. This will probably the 3rd time I have a problem with my explorer and I believe it is related to the transmission. I originally got the car on december 2009 and It didn't develop any problems until December of 2010, I kept driving the car with the weird noise. Then. one...

I have a 1993 ford ranger. It's the 8 valve 4 cylinder motor. Ever since I bought it my heater has not worked. The temperature gauge doesn't rise. I put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator in winter time and the temperature gauge rose. But I got no heat from the vents still. Only cold...

Well.. for starters, this is my second day with the SCT SF3 Tuner. I purchased it from Henson Performance, and I believe i made a big mistake with the device. I got my tuner yesterday, and made sure it was updated and everything before even letting it look at my explorer. So, after I made sure...

I got a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT. I just did a transmission job on it, and now the truck wont start at all. Before i started the job it started up and ran just fine. Now it wants to crank over but it just wont start. Ive tried shooting starter fluid into the intake and on the air filter for the...

I've had this problem for just about a year now and was hoping for some help. I have a 94 ex with 127,x.. miles on it and it has a hard time shifting from first to second and a minor problem from second to third. I have to take my foot off the gas in order for it to shift, but occasionally it...

The other day I upgraded my 1999 Explorer 2dr Sport's stock radio. about two days after. i lost my right side (front and rear) turn signals. i have checked the bulbs in both front and back and that wasn't the problem. i then checked my flasher relay, no help. all my fuses are fine in interior...

I have a 93 Mazda Navajo 2WD I bought a few years ago and have been fixing it up. I bought a used transmission for it and 3rd+5th grind while in gear and is has no 4th at all. Can anyone give me an idea of whats going on with it? Thanks.

Okay, I'd like to purchase an Explorer, but here in Canada we generally pay more for cars, and we don't have strong lemon laws. I'd like to purchase in the next month (if Ford Canada brings back a Costco discount that brings us closer to US pricing), but ..... I don't want a problem car. I...

[FONT="Georgia"]Hey all, I've been looking for about an hour to diagnose this sound, but without any luck, I've decided to ask you guys. So my problem, I'm having a strange clicking noise from my transmission when letting the clutch out in 1st and second. My truck is a 1988 Explorer Sport 2...

The other night I was driving, and the transmission wouldn't go any higher than 2nd gear. When it would "go into" 3rd and id give it gas, it would seem like its in neutral and go back to 2nd. I had to manually switch between 1st ad 2nd gear the way home so it wouldn't go into 3rd or 4th. What...

Alright, so my old transmission lasted 161,000 miles. At 161,000 miles, it started slipping on acceleration and not upshifting into gears. As I would drive on, it would lose the O/D Gear, then 10 miles later, the 3rd would go, and then it wouldn't drive at all. NOW.. I just picked up a...
