thanks for opening my eyes to the PO5 program...i had never even heard of that. i guess if it comes down to it i could break that one out and see what they say. i just did a little research on PO5 and it sounds like it's a closely gaurded secret that could apply well to my situation...

mvanbogart, who did you talk to to get your problem fixed? a dealership or ford rep? or did you have to go farther to get things taken care of?

check your local recycling centers or solid waste management districts. depending on how things are set up in your area, they may take oil, antifreeze, and other fluids for free. some may charge a small fee...but even with that you'll still feel better about it than dumping it in the driveway...

hey codepoet get this... a same certain dealership worked on a buddy of mine's ex a while back. nothing too big, except the part where they wrecked it when they took it out for a test drive! and as you can imagine he had to work really hard twisting their arm to get them to own up to it and...

well i'm glad to know i'm not the only one going through this, but at the same time i'm sad to hear i'm not the only one. i plan to go to my original dealer (a used car lot, non-ford dealer) and get an opinion from them. the guy there has been good to me for two fords so we'll see if he can...

ok so it's not really a crisis, but a big frustration nonetheless. i've got a 2000 explorer sport sohc with all the notorious timing chain rattles i hear so much about on this board. mostly noisy when idling cold, but still noticable when warm as well. had the 00M12 program completed at...

thanks howard....didn't realize you were in the UK. 30 units of some kind of money sounds about like what i heard though ;)

if it sounds like the lock is trying to lock when you hit the button, try shooting some wd-40 or similar lube down the side of the lock button that is up top close to the window (can't think of the right word to describe it...hahaha). sounds like a pretty lame tip, but i was having trouble...

howard, what did it cost for you to get your spare PATS keys from a dealer? i have been putting it off since i got my x (i've only got one key right now) and heard that it was close to 30 bucks for one. is this right?

mine was written on the underside of the cargo hatch...don't know if the dealer or someone just wrote it on there or if that's how they came. just pop open your rear hatch and look at the underside as you open it. mine was written there with a marker i believe. it's a 2000 sport.

went to iu...graduated in may. now i'm just hanging out here looking for a job.

bloomington here

alright i gave the tint i got a shot...looks like i'm just gonna have to get it done professionally ;) thanks for all the advice. i'm going to try to find a shop around here that can match the back windows at a reasonable price.

yo i'm from bloomington...there is a zeibart here. i had a truck done there a few years ago and they weren't able to get it as dark as i wanted. i got some 20% tint today and after lunch i'm going to take a stab at the small rear seat windows to see how it turns out.

right on thanks for the advice everybody...i think i'll sleep on this one. i'm still tempted to experiment with it just for kicks. if i do decide to try it myself, should i go with a smoke or limo tint?

what % is the rear side (large) window tint on a 2000 explorer sport? any suggestions on a good brand or source for tint? i tinted a ranger i used to have by myself and felt good about the results...though i just used wal-mart tint...so i feel like i can do this myself. just looking for...

thanks thanks dean, i did a search on that tsb number and came up with some more good info that leads me to believe that i have that same problem. i'm on vacation in a couple weeks...i'll take the x in and see what they say. thanks again

howdy all...i'm new here...just got a 2000 explorer sport (traded off my little 98 ranger) and i've got a few questions about the sohc v6. at idle (in park) and while in gear with the brakes applied the engine makes kind of a gurgling sound (for the lack of a better description). it seems to...
