Sorry for being a noob but do you need to jack up the vehicle to flush it out? How exactly is this done? doesn't ford cover tsb?..and how expensive of a repair are we talking? :rolleyes:

I am a bit lost here.....why do we want snow.... I live upstate and we get snow...and i don't see what so good about it. than with the harsh salt they use dont make it any better.....can someone remind me why they are wishing for snow...lol :D no snow in forecast is good news....:D:D:D...

Yes Im going to co-sign with swetrid. You shouldn't worry about much problems going wrong especially with a 2005. You can always check carcomplaints.com and enter in the year and model and see what others have to say. Always take what you read on that site with a gain of salt. Because every...

The axle code is D4. Sorrynot being clear in my first post but the slipping feeling is in the front when turning the wheel happens when going front and back. Thanks

I am around 3.5k short of the 60k and I been looking around the interest and I am seeing things like 5-600 dollars for this at the dealership?:eek:Is this correct? I know this is a big one but 600 WOWWW. Anyone know around the price for this one? I know I can go to an independent shop, but...

Its kind of strange trying to explain this but here it goes: I was in a parking lot making a complete turn around turning the steering wheel to the left, it would make some weird type jerk movements but i only notice it when turn left but not right. also when going real slow, turning the...

Unfortunately I don't have a garage in which I could work in. I hair dryer method would be good but 1.) I have no way to plug the dryer in and 2.) the community where I live probably wouldn't allow it. So I spoke with the dealership a few hours ago because I had to get my oil changed and...

Thank you Sean99 for your helpful advice. Another thing I don't have a garage to do this in, so I will be working outside and the degrees is usually in the single digits and the afternoon maybe 20(upstate ny weather:mad:) Does it have to be a certain temp. to do this?

Just took my vehicle through the car wash to clean off all the salt and stuff and after I was done I notice a big piece of flake on the windshield. I stepped out and it was a piece of paint. I looked on the roof and found this: The rest of the vehicle is fine: I'm not sure why the roof...

Thank you jrford, I will do this and let you know the outcome..thanks ago.

I believe my Explorer needs new shocks because every time I go over a bump I hear a squeak. I'm suspecting it could be shocks or something. I know ford is going to charge me an arm and leg today. But can I purchase the parts and have them fix it? Also does the part have to be Motorcraft? Or can...

Thanks for the great advice :)

Might have to take it in to the next dealership in the next town because the guy said that they are pretty confident they did a good job and they claim the noise I am hear is from choppy tires on the inside. Now sure why they just didn't change the rings and pinions- Does the warranty cover...

I took it into the dealership for the humming noise sometime in August and I still hear the noise. I took it back and they said the tires were choppy on the inside but I don't hear the noise all the time. They did something with the differential here is what the invoice states: 2...

Thank you everyone for the ideas. Joe Dirt- would the Linseed Oil be good to place under the doors as well?

I took mines to the dealership for the humming noise sometime in August and I still hear the noise. I took it back and they said the tires were choppy but I don't hear the noise all the time. They did something with the differential here is what the invoice states: 2 7L1Z*4A109*D KIT -...

I was wondering whether it is a good idea to undercoat my 04 for the winter coming up. I live in Upstate New York which they use very harsh salt. The vehicle is in very good condition and I would like to keep it like that. I have been doing alot of reading on undercoating. Some say that...

When I first Purchased the vehicle is was at 19.something miles a gallon. Now it is at 17, is this normal? I had it for maybe a week now, I don't drive crazy or have bad driving habits. Does something needs to be replaced or something? It dropped 2 miles in a week, is this going to drop down 2...

Eddies come in 2 engine choices, if I am thinkin correctly the Limited one has one which is the v8. This one I purchase comes with a v6 with Class II trailer towing w/receiver hitch, moon roof, parking sensors, 3rd row seating, tire pressure system, message center, 4 wheel drive(gonna need it...

I'm not sure if im going to do any mods yet..the 99 XLT I had before, I just raised it up a few inches......but if I do anything to this one....I will be hiring someone to do this...I am not that crafty to do mod myself:rolleyes: I paid 12k OTD....I think 50,000 is pretty good and in good...

Well after searching for months..I finally found one and got it yesterday....04 Explorer EB with 50,000 miles on it I got it for a decent price since it was sitting on the dealer lot for 40days....:) Almost lost this one...guy came in a put down a deposit but couldn't get a lender....after that...

LOL..I know but I meant in driving wise, is one better or difficult to drive with than the other?

Nice Explorer..and good price u paid for it as well.... i have one question: what is the difference(in driving) with the cable and the electronically controlled? Is it harder to drive than the cable?

I was wondering if the daytime running lights, auto headlights and third row seating comes standard on a 2004 Eddie Bauer?

I am looking at a 2004 Ford Explorer Limited which is really nice but the only thing I don't like is the center console in the back row because than I would have to place the car seat on either side of the doors and I am always worried about if a car hit that door and harming the child, this is...

Thanks Joe Dirt and MainSource. I found this site which also does ford extended warranty: http://www.troy-ford-extended-warranty.com/ I am not sure if their prices are as good as the fordwarrantys.com prices but you can take the inspection to your own mechanic to get it inspected. I am going...

Well my plan was to purchase a Ford Explorer from a dealer but before I purchase the vehicle I would have them do the inspection with that form which is need to purchase the Ford Warranty before purchasing the vehicle. I contact to the FordWarrantys.com about the inspection and they said...

I am trying to find a 2005 EB at least 75 miles from my area but I am coming up with nothing close to my area. I don't want to travel too far. Very limited 2004 model has them depends on when they were made but I haven't found one of them close to my area either. That takes me to my...

Thanks everyone for the helpful information; it is greatly appreciated. :)

Does anyone have any experience with an auto shipping company? How far(miles/distance) was the delivery? What was the cost? How long did it take for the delivery?

Thank you da2962 and Joe Dirt. I should have figured he was trying to pull that but I never thought a dealer would even say that if it wasn't true. Thank once again :) Oh and yes it has the AdvanceTrac.

After reading these post I was thinking a 2005 Ford Explorer EB with 82000, heated leather seats and mirrors, pretty much has everything expect DVD that is in my area is price too high. The dealer internet price is $14,400 which I think is pretty high. I was thinking maybe in the $11,000(out the...

WOW...scared me for a second....lol...good thing you cleared that one up for me. :)

I hope thats not for insurance alone....wow....I am thinking of getting a 2005 EB I see for sale around my area. But wow second thought if $600 a month for insurance....:)

Thank you very much Zerodevil for the advice and information. :)

I found on the web 2005 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED 4X4 V8 with 58,000 MILES. They have it price at $16,400. I think this is way too much and I am not paying this because this out of my range. I am in the $11,000 area. Do think seem like a high price or not? It has: power adjustable pedals...

Here is my problem in finding one. I am basically trying to find one at a Ford Dealership because I want a Extended Warranty. I have seen other dealerships other than Ford selling nice explorers but I don't want to purchase it than take it to a Ford dealership to have them tell me that my...

NJExplorerFan: I am glad I am not in this boat alone:) V6 or V8 doesn't really matter to me because I am not considering towing anything. Just some that has space and that can get me from point A to point B and back to point A... Something will come up..I am looking at another one: 2004 EB...

Sorry for being a little slow on this but what is a drive by wire and throttle cable? How do you know which is which? And which one is better to have?
