    Replacing Front CV shafts and Hubs same time - Need Info Please

    Hey guys, my 03 Explorer is up to 110325 miles and now makes noise (binding, popping, etc.) when turning (while only in 4x4 high or low - on wet pavement). I know there's more to consider (e.g. transfer case, diff) but I'm mainly targeting the front drive at this point. I've owned this vehicle...

    2002 Explorer is binding up, and popping when turning. Please help!

    After reading all these posts, I'm more inclined to say it's your 4x4 computer module. From what the guys have written here, I'm assuming that the 4x4 computer module controls the 4x4 system by managing it when you select Auto, 4x4 high, or 4x4 low. I too get the noise but only after I select...

    Instrument Panel Information-Broken

    Hi all, My wife's 03 Explorer instrument panel information center has gone nuts. Initially, when I found that I could not clear "change oil" using the "info + reset" buttons next to the panel, I knew I needed to ask this forum for help ASAP. Now the measurement unit shows in km, not...

    Low Power, No Acceleration, Top Speed 55mph, Top RPM 3000, Low Idle 600rpm

    OK, I'm really new to this blog (09), but any time I've had those exact symptoms, the problem always turned out to be O2 sensors (either 1 to 4) had to be replaced.... I might add, while driving under those conditions, the fuel efficiency dropped to 5mpg.... :-)
