    Transmission Behavior Change After Extended Highway Driving

    Does anyone else have issues with shifting after being in overdrive for a while on the highway? I have been driving this thing for 6 years, 75k miles, this issue has been present the whole time. After an hour or so on the highway the shift out of the top two gears occasionally gets kinda...

    My 93 Explorer apparently has no idler pulley?

    I was replacing the fan clutch on my Explorer and decided to go ahead and replace the serpentine belt. After I got everything out, I realized that the idler pulley, which is on my serpentine belt diagram under the hood, is non-existent. I'm not immediately worried, since I've been driving around...

    Possible Rear End Whining/Whirring Noise

    Having a new issue with my Explorer now.. just got done pretty much doing a mass replacement of 90% of the suspension, getting tires, and an alignment. I guess by coincidence now that all that works been done now the drive train decides it's going to take a dump.. I notice this mostly at low...

    Another Explorer with transmissions issues - I think!

    Hey all, I have a '94 4X4 with the A4 in it. It has started to give me some sort of transmission issue, and I'm prepping for a new one. I was at a stop light yesterday (following a friend to the mechanic, ironically) and as I started to let it creep forward in drive, it felt like I hit the...

    *Please Read* Heat Promblem Still Not Fixed?

    I have a 2002 ford explorer. I've had it for about 10 years now. In the last year I've moved from new Orleans to Delaware.

    Sway Bar End Link Fun!

    Driving along today, I heard a loud pop. And when I say loud pop I mean, I thought someone fired a gun under the truck. I knew it came from the front passenger side and pulled over right away to find this.. The end link literally just got shredded at the top. Of course this had to happen...

    '02 Explorer 4x4 problems

    I just bought a used '02 Explorer 4x4 and it's stuck in 4 High. I think the problem is the 4x4 module behind the glove box. If I try to shift in neutral, the 4 Low light just blinks. Before getting it fixed or the transfer case, if that's it, can I remove the front drive shaft so I don't cause...

    I have a '94 explorer 4wd auto trans. It will shift into reverse or park with only a slight 4sec delay but OD, D, 2, and 1 give it a 90sec to never delay on the shift. Once in gear It shifts just smooth between 1, 2, 3, etc.... It has ATF and I changed the trans vacuum modulator. I think it...
