Within the last week or so, my Explorer has started emitting a loud, obnoxious squeaking noise from what seems to only be the front driver's side. This noise will occur when going over any size bump, and also while turning the wheel while moving slowly in a parking lot. Everything I've...

I was reading this article on Jalopnik- http://jalopnik.com/#!5750855/how-chicagos-using-the-web-to-reunite-519-snowpocalypse+stuck-cars-with-their-owners When I noticed something familiar...check out the picture in the middle of the article. What's that? A silver 2011 Explorer. So much for...

2000 Explorer, OHV I bought my Ex back in June and always noticed that it seemed to take a very long time for the temperature gauge to reach the "normal" area- roughly 20 miles into a drive it would come up. Recently, since the weather has gotten much colder, I notice that the gauge does not...

I've had my Explorer since June and the brakes have always felt relatively spongy. Past cars I've driven have "caught" immediately when you press the pedal, and had a great deal of resistance all the way down. With the Explorer, you can press the pedal a decent amount before you start to...

I just bought some auxiliary driving lights that I want to mount to the top of the front bumper. To do this, I'll have 2 L-shaped brackets, one end attaching to the inside bolt between the frame and bumper, sticking out between the bumper and grille, and the the light mounting on top of that...

As soon as I fix one problem, the next one starts.. I replaced the IAC Valve on my Explorer a few days ago, and from then on until now (about 3 days) I've had a very erratic squeaking belt. There doesn't seem to be ANY correlation between the squeak and the conditions the car is under. It...

Well, here's a new one.. I just bought a 2000 XLT 4.0 OHV a month and a half ago, and it has 108k miles on it now. I've fixed a couple things on it that needed fixing after 10 years, but there are no major mechanical issues with the car. Up until 3 days ago, the car always started perfectly...

2000 Explorer XLT, V6 OHV, 108k miles, 5speed auto I took a trip up to the mountains this weekend, and managed to find out (at a VERY inopportune moment/location) that my X suffers from the issue of having no engine braking when put in 1st gear manually. I've found multiple threads talking...

I just bought a 2000 Explorer XLT a couple days ago and love it so far. 4.0l OHV 5 speed auto with 106k, and it seems to run perfectly for the most part. I noticed today, though, that the parking brake does absolutely nothing for me. An old lady drove it from 1,500 miles to 106,000 miles...
