When I saw this thread I thought it was one I had started a year or two back. \ Our '04 XLT has had this whistle for about three years now and it was only noticeable around or below zero degrees and was only audible from just below to just above 2,000 RPM. I searched everywhere under the...

A couple weeks back our 2004 XLT A/C started kicking out warm air. Local shopmaster checked and recharged it and it held for a few days. It got sick again so I took it into the Ford shop this morning to be checked out again. They eventually called my wife and told her that there is a broken...

That certainly is the exact description of the problem I was having. I'd have sworn the shudder, etc. was in the front end and they told me it was most likely in the rear end and that's what they claim to be fixing. It's sure disgusting to see that long list of problems. Knowing that they...

You're right. Those were only drive line or transmission as I recall.

Our 2004 XLT has about 34,000 mi. We took it in to the shop Monday after recently noticing strange sensations in the drive train. Especially when maneuvering about, making several turns, etc. in areas like shopping mall parking lots. Felt like a sort of engage/disengage of 4X4 or slipping...

This won't make you happy, but, it may help give you some direction. And no, it's not normal although it appears to be pretty common. http://www.offroadexchange.com/modforums/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=2488

It's going on a year now since my first experience with this leak problem. In reading through other posts and forums I've discovered that Ford has finally released a TSB dealing with this. It is TSB 0527 released on February 7, 2005. I'll be long distance travelling again this summer and...

Don't know if you've discovered this fact yet, but your Explorer has the magic, sealed transmission that never needs service for 100,000+ miles. You cannot check or top off fluid levels yourself. It takes a scheduled appointment with Dr. Ford and his diagnostics devices. Don't know if our...

You didn't insult me. I think we're the only two with '04's that are having drive train problems. Mine's got about 16k on it and has had the tranny worked on twice both in and out of the rig for a leak problem. Of course, since Ford couldn't say what was wrong and what was fixed we wait for...

One more FWIW. Since Monday the txmsn has been out of the car and the mechs are supposedly working with the techs by phone to sort this out. Apparently this problem is not totally unheard of and may be a result of fluid expansion as a result of excess heat. Another possibility of course, is...

FWIW, I just got back from another trip and it's doing it again. Last time they said it was a vent issue and they either replaced or modified the existing vent. It goes back in Monday. They need to get something fixed before I run out it of warranty. OR, it has a major problem while I'm...

Our 2004 has about 9,000 mi. on it. We just returned from a 3,000 mi. trip and I noticed an oil leak on the garage floor. Taking a peek under the engine/transmission area I noticed bright red txmsn fluid around the txsmsn pan. This is one of those "Never have to service the transmission"...

Has anybody installed a grill guard on a 2004 XLT Sport? The local specialty shop has tried three different models so far and none of them fit. He's been getting the units from the Mr. Pickup distributor. Is there anything unique to the 2004? Thanks for any help.
