    Convert AWD to 4wd

    I have an 02 Mercury Mountaineer ( 4.0L ), and I started having trouble with wheel hop etc.. Eventually, after disconnecting the front drive shaft, I've have determined the issue to be the viscous coupler. Seems like a hard part to find, and expensive when I do find it. So, this provides with...

    AWD/4x4 Switch in Radio Bezel

    I need to replace the radio bezel on my 2000 Ford Explorer. It is AWD and while it does not have the button which switches 4x4 from Auto/High/Low, there is a wiring harness that plugs into an empty slot in the bezel. If I replaced my bezel with one that has this switch, would I be able to...

    Front differential bearing problems

    Hi, I have an 03 explorer xlt V8 with all time AWD. I've have the pinion seal replaced and after that repair I noticed that my axle seals were leaking, more so from the drivers side.

    Front Diff Trashed

    Friends replaced two tires on their 2000 Explorer AWD and destroyed the front diff on the highway. After $1100 repair, they set out to finish the trip and did it again. Now they know about uneven tire sizes but, as a crutch, can the front diff be disabled and driven as a two wheel drive?

    Hey guys, I've recently identified a vacuum leak (loud hiss, idle surging) coming from one of two fittings underneath the battery. Can someone tell me what is located there? I can make out "valve" marked on one of the lines, but I'm having trouble identifying what it is. Thanks

    This is an AWD vehicle. I've never owned an AWD vehicle, so is there some way of knowing if it is engaging? There is a knob on the dash for "Normal Driving" and "Off Road". When I turn the knob, I can feel and hear no difference in how the truck runs. Additionally, my last truck (a chevy...
