    That "clicking" is your AC Compressor. It's normal, always does it.

    Overdrive shifting rough at highway speed

    Mine was doing the same thing. 60MPH I was doing about 3000RPM instead of my normal 2000RPM. A grand later replaced broken bands, solenoids, and torque converter, etc.

    EVAP Canister - More than two connectors? [UPDATE]

    --- UPDATE --- Alright; well I went ahead and pulled the EVAP Canisters off the truck. I disconnected the two steel EVAP Lines, and the electrical connector. However, the area circled in Red, nothing was connecting to it. I would guess that a hose of some sort is supossed to be going...

    EVAP Canister - More than two connectors? [UPDATE]

    The holder itself is plastic, yep. Did yours have a vac line or anything going to it? or just the two metal tubes?

    EVAP Canister - More than two connectors? [UPDATE]

    Here is a picture of the EVAP Canister. The only two "outside" connections coming into are the two steel/metal lines in the bottom right of the picture. Is that all their is supposed to be? In the Hanes manual it looks like in one of the photos that a vac line also goes into it, but I...

    "Overdrive Off" light flashing

    I tired that with my 2000 Explorer a while back, just turning off the Overdrive before leaving the house, got about 5 miles and it started flashing at me. I haven't tried the starting off in 2nd, then shifting it into Drive.

    Vacuum Line Replacement / Lean Bank

    Replaced the DPFE Sensor today, and the vacuum line going to the fuel vapor system under the battery compartment. Rerouted the house to keep the "hard plastic" away from the engine heat a bit. The orange hoses coming off the DPFE are "Silicon Vacuum Hose". The guy at NAPA said they would...

    "Overdrive Off" light flashing

    This is also happening on my '00 Sport. No check engine codes related to the transmission, or power train. Right before mine comes on, I'm usually accelerating and going from 2nd into 3rd. Does a hard shift into third, and then when slowing down it does another hard shift from 3rd to 2nd...

    Vacuum Line Replacement / Lean Bank

    The DPFE itself is physically broken. I was going to be replacing that, the DPFE hoses, and that vac line before I moved on to troubleshooting any further to see if that is indeed the root of all of my check engine codes. I'll take a look under the battery compartment to see if I can find...

    Swapping 01 V8 into 2000 V6

    Alright, after some more digging, I was able to find some type of article that mentions the location of the PATS Module. According to what I can find, it is located behind the passenger air bag. Can anyone confirm?

    Swapping 01 V8 into 2000 V6

    Everything that I can tell from reading, especially on the Keyless Entry threads, that the computer module that has the sticker that displays the Keyless Entry Code, etc, is the RAP? From what I can gather they're not the same. I am having a hardtime online searching for where the PATS Module...

    Swapping 01 V8 into 2000 V6

    When I bought my current Explorer off Craigslist, I only got the one key. I haven't picked up the donor yet, so I don't know how many keys are ith it. I am using one of the doors off the Donor Explorer on mine. I thought the computer module in the left rear quarter panel was the RAP Module?

    Swapping 01 V8 into 2000 V6

    From reading the "All you need to know about PATS", The two explorers I have both have a Stand-Alone PATS Module, which from what I can gather is located inside the steering column. That is the module I would have to swap over, correct?

    PATS Module = Ignition?

    Swapping 01 V8 into 2000 V6

    Correct me if I'm wrong. The current keys on the V6 would not work after the GEM Module is swapped? The X now is V6 4WD going to the V8 AWD.

    Swapping 01 V8 into 2000 V6

    I was able to get my hands on a 2001 XLT with a V8 in an effort to replace my blown 4.0L SOHC on my 2000 XLT. I know I have to use the PCM, Engine Bay Harness, V8 Intake, Engine, Transmission, Transfercase, and maybe the complete exhaust setup. With swapping over the PCM, will I need to...
