Hairline crack on top of radiator
There is a 1" hairline crack on the top left side of my radiator that I noticed about a month ago. I've never noticed any fluid on the ground, so I think it's evaporating. This is the first time I've seen fluid on the top as shown in the photo. My question is, how bad does this look? Should I...- aberrant

Battery Issues
There was a lot of corrosion on my negative battery terminal, so I cleaned everything and put it back together. In the process of tightening the positive cable clamp, I noticed it was cracked in two areas. I thought this may be a problem since the connection was not good, but it started right up...- aberrant

'99 4WD Starting Issue and MPG
My '99 Explorer EB 4.0 has an intermittent staring problem. It starts up fine, but when coming back down to idle RPM, it sometimes drops significantly and then dies. Doesn't happen all the time. I've been giving it a little gas each time after starting which has solved this problem, but would...- aberrant

Front Passenger Side Squeal When Turning & Creaking While Driving Straight
I have a 99 Explorer that is making a lot of noise from the front passenger side. I've done my homework and it looks like others have reported loose caliper bolts, a loose brake line, or torsion bar trouble. I'm thinking it's the torsion bar, as it does not squeal when turning all the way to...- aberrant

Anyone know what this is?
I've been hearing something rattling around underneath the truck, so decided to check it out today and found this. Anyone know what it is and if it's supposed to be holding something, as it has those clips... Truck is a 99 EB Explorer 4.0 SOHC Thanks...- aberrant

Strange Start-Up Noise and Idle
I have a intermittent start-up noise after the truck has been sitting overnight. It sounds as if it's being over cranked and only lasts for a second. It's the same kinda sound if you were to keeping turning the key after the engine has turned over. Really strange. Seemed to start doing this...- aberrant

Reverse on transmission starting to slip
So tonight the reverse gear on my 99 V6 SOHC EB was slipping. This is the first time it's done this. Over the past year I've noticed it loudly clunks into reverse at times, but a slipping has never occurred. I've dumped a bunch of money into this truck over the past year, so this really sucks...- aberrant

Squeaky Rear Suspension - Can't Figure It Out!
I have a 99 eddie bauer that is making a lot of noise from the rear end. It sounds like an old mattress spring that has seen better days. It really only makes noise when the truck goes over bumps or tilts to one side if taking a speed bump at an angle. It also makes the squeaking noise when...- aberrant

Bad Brake Squeal - Brakes are fairly new
I have some bad brake squeal that is driving me (and I assume other drivers) nuts. I had them looked at last time it was getting new tires as well as at another shop, and the mechanics said all four look fine. The front are practically new. They said the brakes most likely were not prepped...- aberrant

Weird vibration noise on acceleration and turn
I'm getting this weird vibration noise upon acceleration and when turning left. I used to only notice it when taking a left hand turn at higher speed, but lately i've been hearing it at times with acceleration driving straight. It sounds like something is vibrating in the rear cargo area, but...- aberrant

Wheel shake while turning. Already replaced power steering pump.
I had quite a bit of wheel vibration/shake when turning, so I replaced the power steering pump on the advice of a local shop. Well, that hasn't really fixed the problem, so what should I look at now? I know there might be air in the system, so I'll try removing the cap to the reservoir and doing...- aberrant

99 Explorer Troubles
Hello, I'm new here and have a 99 Explorer that's having a few issues. Instead of posting a new thread for each one, I'll just list them here. 1. The truck seems to have trouble starting at times. It had been sitting for a few months, not running. After replacing the battery it seems to be...- aberrant
