Thanks for the reply. I took it back to Ford dealership and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. As soon as I pulled out of garage it was shuddering as usual. I was pretty angry, So just happens to be a Honda dealership down the road. I drove in and traded the Explorer in on a new...

Also the shudder isn't coming from the back, I feel it in the front

Just had my rear differential serviced at a Ford dealership. As soon as I drove it after, I notice a shudder at times like if driving over a rumble strip. It's intermittent. Happens at different speeds. Is it something they did? Or possibly just coincidence and it is my torque converter? I...

03 Explorer, 155,000 mi Never had transmission serviced. Original fluid. Runs decent, started a little shudder recently. Hard shift from P to R sometimes. Everyone tells me it's too late to get the tranny serviced now so keeping my fingers crossed!

Just had my Thermostat Housing replaced on my 2003 Explorer. They put new thermostat, new sensor, Orings etc. Now I notice when I am stopped with it in drive that my explorer is rumbling and it never did that before. Also after I got home I noticed the top coolant hose is very hot. I smell...

Here is a good thread to replace your blend door actuator http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=294140

Thanks for the advice. I just recharged it w/ EZ Chill. Followed directions and it is now blowing ice cold. Easier than I thought it would be. Thanks again!

I really have no idea what I am looking for. Need to charge. Anyone have a pic of the location? 03 Explorer

Ok thanks!

I have a 2003 explorer 4x4 XLT w 117,000 miles. When I pull away from a stop and turn, I feel a vibration coming from the back. Is this my rear differential going bad ?

Is Ford Mercon V the only kind of tranny fluid I can use or is another brand ok?

I've set up an appointment with my mechanic to service the tranny. he is gonna drop the pan and change the filter. He is also going to add Lucas. Does this sound like the right thing to do?

So what if i dont change the filter or fluid in my tranny. It runs good now at 116,00 miles without it being serviced before. Am I playing with fire?

I have an 2003 XLT w 114,000 miles. I bought it with 50,000 miles about 5 years ago. I have never had the trans fluid serviced since I have had it. I have no idea if it was done by the previous owner. Is this something I should get done. Should I get a flush and filter change or just a flush? I...

I have an 2003 Ford Explorer XLT with 107,000 miles on it. To my knowledge the trans fluid has never been replaced. Should I get a flush or just a fluid change? Hearing a lot of horror stories of 100,000+ flushes. Also is changing the filter a must? Thanks for any input.

Thanks I will give these a try.

I don't see it under ford dealer accessories.

see I posted in the wrong section. My bad.

I am looking for the floor mats for an 2003 Explorer that are rubber and have the Explorer logo on them. I had a website in my favorites that sold them but now I can't find it. Anyone have a link to a website where I can buy these? ( I know this isn't a big deal but was hoping maybe someone...

Did you have any codes that led you to this solution?

03 XLT, Have most of the problems you have except for the oil light. No codes are coming up for me. Just replaced the PCV valve and soon will be getting a transmission flush. My mechanic said " It isn't giving out codes and nothing is leaking, so just drive it". But it is irriatating the...

Is the PCV valve a hard thing to change out?

Took into the garage today. Cleaned MAF sensor, checked all wires and voltage. Hooked up reader but didn't show anything, even while driving the O2 sensors are ok. My mechanic thinks I need a transmission flush. He is gonna add Smart Blend Transmission Protector Fluid to the mix when I get...

definately the actuator. I replaced mine from this website. Garage tried to tell me it was the blend door and would cost around 600 bones.

It is a 4.0 105,000 miles 4WD. This problem is more prevailant in the morning when I pull out of my driveway but does happen at different times. Could it be a coil pack, intake manifold gasket? Fuel pump relay? I am hoping someone has an idea. I really don't want to take this to a dealership...
