    Opinions on 2004 Explorer

    4.0 V6 Flex Fuel for $4000. Based upon the carfax its been in two small collisions but was operable both times. I'm basically replacing a 2000 Expedition my son was just in an accident with. I had just totally rebuilt that thing, new engine, all new suspension components etc. He was stuck...

    Opinions on 2004 Explorer

    I'm looking to purchase a 2004 Explorer XLT with about 95,000 miles on it. I'll be checking it out today. I currently own a 2015 Explorer and previously owned a 2000. Just curious on opinions regarding the timing chains and the transmission issues I seem to see as common complaints.

    Radio display gone on '00 Mounty

    Radio is still going strong after repairing it myself using a new Compound Kit. It really is an easy repair.

    LED Display

    Based on a post by another person with a similar problem I contacted Pioneer who actually manufactured the radio that is in the Explorer's with the display problem. The parts number is (800)421-1404. Just follow the prompts until you get to the parts dept. The component you are looking for is...

    Radio LED display fix!!!

    YOur best bet is to buy the Compound Kit from Pioneer for your radio and replace the part. That "goo" is actually a silcone sealant.

    Radio display gone on '00 Mounty

    http://www.cyberwebwerx.com/explorer/ Here is a quick tutorial I put together. This is not a hard job to do. My radio has been working for a week now. It was well worth the money to fix it. Please be sure to get your numbers off the bottom of the radio to they cross reference the right...

    Radio display gone on '00 Mounty

    Be sure to have them cross reference your radio to that part. There are different parts for different radios.

    Radio display gone on '00 Mounty

    Actually its none of that. The power supply board for the display is not made very well. AS a result it overheats and disables the display. I have removed mine and resoldered it a few times. The last time moving alot of the resistors up to let them cool better, this let it work for about 2...

    How to: IAC valve cleaning thread (w/pics)

    One tidbit on Ford. They use platinum plugs, but they use different ones in each bank. I've seen this on my Explorer and two Taursus'. I have no idea why they do this.

    Most likely, if you can put a dot of solder on the place you scratched.

    Radio Display is out, Please Help.

    I'll likely go this route as well. I'm quite good at soldering and performed the resolder fix and it lasted about 2 days. I'll attempt it one more time today to see if I missed something. The irony is the soldering job on this thing from the factory looked like a 6 year old did it. Very...

    Radio LED display fix!!!

    Just got a 2000 Eddie Bauer. Radio was working now the display is out. I'll give this a shot and see if it works. Typical Ford response also. It sort of reminds me of the dash on my 97 and 99 Taurus peeling off. Damn near everyone one I've seen does it. Can you say class action lawsuit?
