I need to replace a wheel on a 2014 Explorer, but can not for the life of me find anything close to what is currently on it. The wheel says "ZR Alloy", has 8 dual spokes. Anyone seen these before? If so, where could I find a replacement? Thanks.

Trying to replace the starter on my truck and have realized that it is guarded on all sides. From the top, its the driveshaft and exhaust manifold. From the side, it's the exhaust manifold and part of the chassis. From the bottom, it's the 4x4 drive train, and it seems near impossible to get to...

My 4.0 OHV has a leaking valve cover gasket and while its all torn apart replacing that, is there anything worth replacing while Im at it? Im sitting at 184k miles currently and the only other engine problem possibly is a tick, some times almost slapping sound that comes and goes. Id assume that...

This image is just like the broken column shift on my daughter's 2005 Explorer. I know I can get the alloy part that links to the shift lever aftermarket, but the brass piece on the back side with the hard plastic ball is also damaged. Ford doesn't even seem to have a name for this part. My...

I have a stick shift 2 door 4.1 SportTrac with 183k miles and in average shape. The mechanic says the computer is suspect. Does anyone have advice about the cost and effort to replace it? The truck's key is a straightforward key, so I do not think a "new" computer will affect starting. Given...

Hello! On my '92 Ford Explorer.. I have no high beams! This isn't a big deal.. but I'd like to have them if I ever needed them! The headlights and everything else works fine, but when I turn on the high beams (and see the blue high beam signal light up on my dash), there's no light at...

How do I start? Can I just go to Walmart and buy any 'ol $30 stereo that has auxiliary and just take my old one out and expect it to work? Or am I looking at a bigger task than I'm expecting? The reason I want to replace it is because: 1. I would love to be able to connect my phone...

So i have my '03 XLT 4.0 with 223k miles on it. I've beat the crap out of the thing, especially lately. Some things that are wrong with it; IACV (idle air control valve) is broken, the truck flux's on occasion when idling. Differential carrier bearing, I hear a very very distinct hum when...

Someone backed into my driver's side tail light assembly and cracked it. The dealership wanted $500 for the part alone so I bought one online for half that. The problem is that the original part has a wire harness that is INSIDE the rear quarter panel. The replacement part looks great but i...

I have to replace my rear driver door because my Fiance thought she knew how to drift. Obviously she didn't. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the steps in removing the door and I'm sure putting the new one on is the opposite so I was just wondering if someone could tell me if there are...

Hey guys, So here is my latest video on how to replace control arm bushings. Instead of replacing the whole control arm for $60+ you can get a pair of bushings for $15 and press the old ones out and press the new ones in. For the upper control arm you have to make sure your ball joint is...

I recently bought a pile of drop in LED light bulb replacements for pretty much everything BUT the main head/tail lamps and fog lights. Stuff like the map lights, dome light, trunk light, etc. What I need now is a little guidance about where to find instructions about how to access and replace...

Since there isn't a ton of information on the site about this, I thought I would add more info on the spark plug change thing for the 3 valve. Truck: 2008 (?/2007 - before the change at factory for whatever revision was made - had black coil boots). 92k miles. Prep: This wasn't covered...

Hello all, 1998 XLT 5.0L. 300K miles. Just starting to leak a little xmission fluid, burning about 1 quart of oil every 3-4 weeks. and the coolant is looking a little murky. SO I am thinking its time (or beyond) to rebuild the engine and transmission. So do I just remove and replace...

Hello everyone. This is my first post and I need some assistance replacing the rear actuator on my 2005 Ford Explorer. I have the infamous clicking noise coming from the back along with no heat blowing. The cold air works well enough but absoulutly no heat makes it to the back. I've seen...

Currently working on R&Ring the starter in a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Manual 5 spd., 4.0L, 4x4 Seems to be not enough room to remove the starter through the bottom or the top. I removed the drive shaft from the pinion flange in the front and still seems to be not enough room to remove...

Seat belt in the second row passenger side has become a pain in the a**. Sometimes it comes out fine, other times it is locked and you have to play with it to get it unlocked. The only way I have found to get it to unlock is to pull up as hard as possible on the belt trying to get it to feed...
