    Explorer vs escape

    Precisely because they are different I posed the question. Am not familiar with escape more than in pictures. Also I note that they are becoming popular here in Belize. I think the cons will highlight what makes them different. Notwithstanding, what I have read so far leads me to want to...

    Explorer vs escape

    "Ecoboost" not sure I understand lol, I think my next vehicle will have to last a while. At 67 not running around too much!!! That's the reason why I have been looking for a low mileage vehicle.

    Explorer vs escape

    Ok, yes, I did ask for pros and cons. From what I am reading there are 2 things to consider. 1. Front wheel drive - not to keen on that!!! 2. And inside space vs the Explorer.

    Explorer vs escape

    Need some advice here. I am being offered a deal with a 2010 Ford Escape. I have been hunting for another Explorer say between a 2010 to 2012. Can anyone make a brief pros and cons re: the Escape over the Explorer. Used word "deal" because the price is very low for a vehicle.!! Thanks.

    Ball Joint Replacement Question

    I always wonder about costs in the USA. We in Belize have very low (appreciated) rates for labour on repairs. The cost of parts is very high in comparison to you all. I guess you cannot win all. The fee for replacing ball joints here is around $50.00 for all four.

    Rattling Noise from Pillar/Passenger Door??

    Have you checked the door lock strikers? When these go bad you get a rattle. Or your door latch itself.

    how to repair a leaking sun roof in a 1998 ford explorer

    I had leak problems on mine. After doing all that is mentioned here I ended up removing it. The rubber around the glass was deteriorated badly. I then went to a welding shop that had an wreck with a good hood. Got the material from there to seal off the hole. The hardest parts was keeping...

    Ball Joint Replacement Question

    It would be best, yes! Just for info. When I took mine in to align they damaged the grease boots. So make sure they are careful. It is difficult to get just the boots!

    Tranny flush question.....

    Thanks for the calrrification to others!! I, after doing more reading tend to lean more towards the Lucas 10418 (as second choice). My third choice is the Valvoline Merc V Motorcraft V being the first. However it is a matter of availability so will most likely go with the Lucas. Unless, I...

    5R55E Fluid Change and Filter Replace

    I plan to drop the pan 4 times. Will then replace filter right before the last reassemble with new gasket. By then I should have taken out most of the old stuff. There has to be some gear shifting with each fill back to get the old fluid out into the pan. I will admit going the cooling...
