Wow, this thread is still going huh?

Hey Rick!! Can't drive by your rents place without thinking of Great Explorations. Missed it so much I moved back to Glencoe.:rolleyes: It's been rattling for years and just recently got much worse. Typical, went down to get a video and she behaved as expected. I will post it anyway and get a...

Been years since I posted, but here I go. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but when it comes to the engine/trans I tend to leave it to the pros. When I start it up I get the rattle like marbles whether the engine is warm or cold. One time out of ten it will start up normally without one...

I still got mines!:D

Ya, thanks, it's a great truck. It can't do everything, but it holds it's own for sure. Ya, they are KC daylighters.

Wow, I am still subscribed to this thread. It's been so long................. Howdy Spaz! Wuz krackin'?

Hey, well my problem went away long ago. I had Ford replace the intake o-rings. After that I replaced the IAC valve and fuel filter. I used a few bottles of injector cleaner as well, but it still would rear it's head occasionally. At my regular oil change place they had a special on the...

Didn't get a chance to drop the pan, but I did drive it a bit today. When shifting into R or D it will lurch like it is in gear, but it just slightly inches forward if I rev the engine. When I get to about 55mph and shift out of 2 it will shift into what i think might be 3rd and then into...

Thanks guys.. I will post results tomorrow.

They did nothing to it, just a run through the gears and the typical replace or rebuild garbage. I just picked it up and paid them nothing. I saw the DTR cable yesterday and it was tight, since you described it I know what it is now. It will be interesting to see if it shifts to 4low since...

I'm going to drop the pan tomorrow and test everything. Keep the suggestions coming. What is the DTR?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....:)

Yes.. Additional info: I never changed any solenoids...

Seriously, don't hit any bumps or your tranny will go out on you. This morning on my way to work I hit a man hole cover that was recessed in the pavement maybe an inch. Stopped at the light and when it turned green....nothing. No reverse, no drive...so I shifted it to 1 and it worked fine...

Ya ya, wassup man? I hardly come around much anymore. How's the rig?

Left of the main light switch is where I mounted mine, i hate reaching for an aux light switch. A little triming and it did the trick.

Worthless invention...

http://www.performanceaccessories.com/ Click on application guide, you would need the 3" kit, part number 883. It is a Ranger kit, but works with the X. Pretty sure the kit is $150. Without cutting you can fit 32's. You'll have to cut to fit 33's, but I know that everyone here has had...

For a 3" body lift I highly recommend the Performance Accessories kit. There are two 4" suspension lifts available for the Explorer and they cost around $1500, give or take. One is made by Trailmaster and the other is by Superlift. The superlift kit is a better engineered kit for the X. As...

Read the entire diary, your answer lies within.

Exactly that, you're towing capacity is 3500 lbs. Basically the trailer/camper fully loaded with gear. The tongue weight is directly on the tongue of the hitch/hitch ball. All trailers/campers come with a tongue rating and empty weight rating. Stay within the limits and you will be fine...

LOL, it's a Ford...what did you expect..... :p

It is sold at most auto part stores. It is usually called WHITE LITHIUM GREASE and comes in spray paint cans. It also should have a long spray tube like you get with WD40 for tight places. It will probably be kept in the lubricant section near belt dressing and silicone sprays.

You can buy a can of spray type white grease. I use that twice a year on the bushings. You have a common issue, nothing to worry about. Basically is dry rubber against metal that makes the sound. You can replace the bushings, but they'll just sqeak too.
