Hi there! Everything was great. Then this happened: Drove to work for the 50th time this month. Finished work. Hopped in the truck after a long day. Started it up just fine. noticeably rough idle, huh, that's new! popped it into reverse to back out of my spot, definitely bumpy and rough, had...

Hey guys. So I'm low key freaking out right now and seriously frustrated. My engine was smoking pretty bad only when I turned it off and I was leaking coolant. It wasn't a steady leak. I could go three weeks without losing a drope then lose over half a gallon in a night. I don't know what the...

Soooo. Pretty straight forward. Driving today out on the town.. got some smoking from the driver's side hood/tire area. Hopped out and gave it a looky and could see the origination of the smoke was coming from behind the tire, right around the rotor/caliper area. Also was...

Howdy, I have a lot of coolant consumption. I have to fill up my overflow tank every month with fresh 50/50 because it just disappears. Surprisingly enough, I NEVER overheat. I drove 4 hours a couple weeks ago to this restaurant I wanted to take the old lady to and the truck ran great...

So a problem that has recently been growing worse with my truck... When I turn it on, it either takes a few "vavavavava*VROOM*" to turn on... Or it turns on super fast.... Like "vaVROOM". If it turns on fast, the idle is gross.... Very clunky, and driving fees like driving down a bumpy...

I noticed a metalic smell in my 1994 Explorer 3 days ago. Then yesterday after driving for about 15 minutes, I parked and had smoke coming from under the hood. On inspection I noticed the smoke was bellowing from the area of the oil cap. I checked the oil, it is full. (I have had some small...

On Sunday my 2005 Explorer started overheating and I noticed the smell of burning coolant. I immediately pulled into a Walmart and noticed coolant dripping slowly..I popped the the hood and realized it was only slowly dropping because the reservoir was empty. I ran in, grabbed a bottle of leak...

Hello All, I'm considering tinting(smoking) my headlights and tailights on my Platinum White 2013 Explorer as I look to give it a darker look by tinting windows/lights and painting my rims black but had a few questions I was hoping someone could help me out with. First, is the film a...

Hey guys, just purchased my first sport trac, well, vehicle in general and i figured it'd be a good place to start on a forum. I purchased a 2005 Explorer Sport Trac XLT for 8500. It seems fairly decent but we've had a few problems with it so far but hopefully i will get them all figured out.

I have no discernable leaks. The rear main is moist, but does not drip. No sign of oil underneath the truck. I did a compression test and all cylinders were within 5 lbs of each other (155 to 150). I see no smoke from the exhaust, only a few drops of water. Does anyone have any idea how I...

Help! Had the symptoms of a bad vacuum modulator on 94 Ranger 2WD 3.0 L. Removed and replaced vac mod with adjustable version. Followed the steps from Brooklyn Bay's responses on this site. After everything was back in place, pin and all (plus oil change), we started up the truck. She...

Folks, I have a '96 Eddie Bower Explorer. Headlights and tail lights are no longer working. The wiring inside the center consul seems to be smoking. I guess I'm going to have to take off the the consul and dash, but have any of you experienced this? Recommendations? Thanks, Scott

Hi all! A newbie here, and my trusty steed has finally developed a problem I cannot fix. It just started the usual lean codes, 174, bucking, missing, no power, and generally unhappy. I have already replaced the vacuum elbow, so thaty is not at fault. Recently changed the fuel filter too...

I will start off by asking you to forgive me for any mistakes in terminology, I am a fifteen year G.M. master tech (don't hate me from the beginning). I have a 94 explorer with a 4.0L and manual trans that I just picked up. This is my first Ford. It had a cracked head so I replaced. both with...
