My mother has a 03 Explorer Eddie. In the 3 years she's had it, she's had the rear axle seals go out 4 times. It's all the seals on the diff that are going. She just keeps bringing it in to be fixed and Ford just keeps happily fixing it. Is this a known problem? I did some searching and...

dang it, i had this long reply about fuel sync and ignition timing written up, then I saw that it doesn't do it while in park. what I suggest is finding a Factory service manual. Find the section on the PCM and start reading the various loop modes. It should tell you exactly what sensors...

with 120k on the clock, the first thing I'd do is a compression check and leak down test. Just verify that the meat of your engine is still strong. I'd then start doing tune up stuff. Change plugs, wires, cap, rotar. I'd check the fuel pressure to make sure it's alright. Then I'd just...

The brakes on my truck are starting to get too thin for comfort. I've heard that some ABS systems require A scanner be hooked up to it to retract the pistons, and that if you just force them back like you would on a non-ABS system, that it will mess stuff up. Is this in fact the case on the...

i just replaced the idler. The belt was changed about a month ago when the pully first started to chirp. I'm thinking it might just have been dirt seeing as it's not making noise any more.

My 2002 4L x has started the notorious belt chirp, but this time with a twist. It was chirping bad so I popped the hood and took a look. Sure enough the idler was toast, so I change it. When I first started teh car back up, It was still chirping, however a lot less. You could watch the...

ha. she tried to engauge it and found it wasn't working a mere 10 miles after her warentee expired.

nope. It functions like normal. No codes, no nothing. Shifting into HI, the 4X4 hi light comes on and all is well

what about the 4wd low refusing to engauge? I'm kind of thinking it's going to require opening up the T-case to fix/diagnose

My mom recently started having this problem with her X. It's a 2002 Limited with the push button 4wd. It will engague 4x4 high no problem. However it will not engauge 4x4 low. I put it in neutral, step on the brake, hit the button, and the light in the button flashes. That's all it does...

First ticket was an 82 in a 55 on the highway. Speedo only said 75 tho. hmmmm. Second time was 75 in a 45 while passing a tractor on a country road. Cop pulled me over, gave me a ticket and proceded to tell me where he and his friends like to hide so that I wouldn't get caught next time. :D...

Not sure where to get the kit. I'm more familiar with the Magnum engines then Ford. I'm sure there are other people here who have done it, so they should know what company to buy from, ect ect... The computer should be fine. I would definalty flash it as it probably as an OBD-II computer...

is there a way to read the gem codes without bringing it in somewhere?

Warrentee just ran out 2 months ago.

Stay away from additives. Oil is no longer simply oil. Oil is in fact a lubricant base with an additve package to help other things. Adding stuff to the oil interferes with the chemistry of the oil and doesn't let it do it's job. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm This...

If you really like the truck, get the new motor and rebuild the other in your spare time. Sounds like a good excuse to make a stroker if you ask me.

The other day, we had some fresh snow on the ground. Sounded like a good time to take my mom's X out to play. I shifted it into 4 wheel high, the light came on and I had power to all 4 wheels. I did get a kind of funky whine a few times tho. I attributed this to the fact she never uses 4x4...
