I recently swapped my 02 rear window out with one off of an 04 because the 02's hardware broke and rusted out. My question is can I take the wiring plug off the 02 and reconnect it to the 04's to make the wiper function again and I am also wondering if the windshield wash spray would have...

I bought a 2002 Explorer earlier this summer and I have recently finished the swap from an 04 donor to an 02 that was in great shape but had a bad transmission. We swapped the tranny with the 04 transfer case into the 02 the tranny runs out great. My problem is the 4x4 high is flashing and will...

Looking for any tips on this swap? I have the tranny almost ready to pull the Trans out of the parts vehicle and I am concerned with the exhaust manifold bolts on the good rig. I tried to get the manifold bolts off the header pipe with an impact that didn't even budge. I have the good rig...

Ike the title says my 02 I just bought is needing a tranny. Both have 4.0 v6 will the 04 donor tranny work? I should have known this before I bought it but for what I paid for the 02 and how clean it is I couldn't pass. I got it for a steel at $1700 full leather 3 row passenger seating and moon...

I am currently looking at a 2002 4x4 with a bad tranny and I have a 2004 4x4 with a donor tranny. I'm not sure if the tranny will swap to the 02 that needs a tranny? Where do I find the ID on each to know if they will interchange?

Have an 04 that isn't in the greatest shape with a bad engine. I have an engine out of a Sport Trac that I can get for $450. My question is what's the difference between the two mine being a non Sport Trac? I have already taken a Mustang 4.0 and swapped my stuff over and got it to run so I know...

My fan switch on my 04 Explorer has 4 settings low to Max. There isn't any difference in the first three settings. Basically it's low or max. What is the issue here? Previous owner said they already did blend door fix. It cools and heats fine other than low AC isn't cool enough at times and max...

I step into it slightly and I feel the truck torque to the right side and when I let off it sways back to the drivers side. I replaced the wheel bearing on the drivers side and the rear right tie rod as well. I'm wondering if the pull is telling me I need a 4 wheel alignment for the rear tie rod...

I am finding that the key and ignition will turn and no click. It seems to be getting worse. I can turn it several times and then it finally starts. It's not the shift lever it seems to be in the tumbler area. Any ideas for what the problem may be? I don't think it's a starter because it...

I priced out Monroe struts and they were $99 a piece. The strutteks are $70-$80 a piece but I heard that the Struttteks sit the rear end up higher than stock a couple inches that makes it look like a redneck jacked up family vehicle. Has anyone experienced that with Monroe's?

My 04 is struggling with RPM surge when approaching and climbing a hill at hwy speeds. I was told it could be a servo bore? I have changed the tranny fluid and filter and it still does it! The fluid was clean and hardly any debris on the magnet when pulling the pan. Can a tranny shop figure it...

I have a parts vehicle that is an 04 and I have a daily driver that is also an 04. I have a cracked windshield in my DD and want to replace it with the parts vehicles windshield. Is there a write up in swapping it I can't seem to find one? Also when I am here taking it out I need to re glue...

I recently did a transplant 4.0 into the Explorer from an 08 Mustang. Sometimes when I go to start it there is nothing but a click when turning the key. If I pull the shifter with key turned forward a time or two it will then start. What should I adjust or look to adjust or lube the linkage?

I bought an 04 yesterday which I am guessing has a bad engine due to timing chain issue. It has a hole in the back passenger side valve cover but it still runs. The previous owner drove it home 5-10 miles after it happened. I bought the truck for parts for $700 and hauled it home to part it out...

I'm looking at getting the rocker molding off a donor vehicle for my 04. Mine has the molding on the fenders and rear door to fenders but not on the rockers. Is it possible to put them on my paint is chipped a bit and this would be a quick fix after painting it to seal it up again.

My RPM's are surging 2-300 when climbing a hill the go up and come down. I have been told by a master mechanic it is torque converter lock up problem. If so will it be fixed by doing a tranny service on my 04?

I bent the knuckle when installing the bearing. I replaced the knuckle with a knuckle off an 02. The rear lower tie rod end hole on the bottom seems to be a different size than my 04 than the 02. I have it spread but it has now damaged the tie rod end trying to pound the damn thing in. Is the 02...

I bought my 04 Explorer to fix and flip and it turns out I have to dig in further yet. Rear wheel bearing drivers side is shot so is the caliper on the rear passenger side. There are some dents in the rear quarters too but after the two fixes mentioned and a windshield and 2 tires we have a good...

I don't see a dip stick tube on the truck? What's the deal with this for checking fluid or adding or even filling it up if I am to service the darn thing.

The dome light when opening the door does not come on. When you turn the dial on the dash it doesn't work there neither. The only way you can light up the interior is hitting one of the switches on the physical dome light itself. Is there something to look for to fix this?

I have been eye balling an Explorer on Craigslist that says it is a DOHC engine. I wasn't aware that that was an option? This rig is clean with no rust with 135,000 miles it has a bad tranny and work on cams it says. I'm thinking it has 4.0 SOHC and that they are mistaken. $1500 buys it and I...

Buying a 2004 with a bad 4.0 engine. Will a 2003 4.0 "E" vin work when making the swap or do I need to find a 2004 engine? I was told the intake needs to be swapped out to complete the swap? I'm also findind the people you are buying the engine from are not very helpful in giving that kind of...

In the next few days I will be buying a 2004 Explorer with a bad 4.0 engine. It has 180,000 miles on it with a broken timing chain and the engine is junk. I am picking this up for next to nothing and I have found an engine out of 2003 Explorer Sport "E" vin code with 139,000 miles for $600. I...
