    Will replacing OEM clutch fan with an electric fan cool a 5.0, and increase mileage?

    Now that our 87 octane is $3.00 I am looking for mileage increasing mods! I know quite a few 2nd gen Ligntning guys are doing this for increased power and mileage. Does anyone have any mileage calculations before and after a fan mod? Jim

    Turn Signal "Buzzing"

    On my 96, I first replaced the blinker flasher, and it didn't fix my buzzing. I bought a new stalk, and was ready to put it in, and found that a plug on the multifunction switch was broken. There are a few wires in a white plastic plug that attaches to the stalk, and that plug was broken. I...

    OK, I may try that, but Ford special ordered the arm, so I am debating on going to pick it up. Who all has used this and it fixed the problem?

    Poll: How many have bought the Ford TSB rear wiper arm and it not worked correctly?

    I have a 98 AWD I am sick and tired of dealing with this poorly designed setup. I spent $60.00 for a rebuilt motor because my other was dead, now I am finding out why the previous owner probably never bothered to fix the thing! I have read the countless posts in the forum on all the problems...

    I can't figure out how to get the looped end of the actuator out of the pivot "camlike" piece in the center of the truck. I really do not want to remove the entire "cam" assembly if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. UPDATE...... I was able to unbolt the latch assembly...

    Removing front driveshaft on AWD improve fuel mileage?

    I bought a used 5.0 AWD, and there is no front shaft in it (the joint was bad). I have been getting 15-16 mpg in town, and was wondering if I put the front shaft back in, would my mileage drop much? I have zero use for an AWD, no mud, no snow, and not enough HP to need it.....yet. Thanks in...

    Blend door repair question

    Help, I attempted the "nail" repair method listed here on the forum to no avail. I did the repair, and I am not any better off now. I only get a clicking sound from the actuator now. When I was attempting the repair, I could only rotate the broken "half" shaft about 20 degrees, and from...

    Help can only get extremely hot air with vent on, even set at cold temps.

    I have a 96 EB with the electronic climate control, and no matter what temp settings I have set, only extremely hot air will come out on vent or heat. I love to run the vent, but it is too hot to do that. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Are all the 95-99 Explorer wheels the same backspacing and bolt pattern?

    I think they are the origional wheels for 96. So are all the bolt patterns the same as well? I am wanting the aluminum 5 hole type. I just want to make sure they will work. I ran into a problem on my 2000 Lightning wheels, for some reason Ford changed their bolt pattern in 2000 on them!
