If I have water leaking into the overhead light at the base of the windshield and on the driver's side floor where should I look first? Should I just assume I have a broken seal on my windshield?

I need advice on nut removal for the main center nut securing the trans range sensor to the transmission. I've already soaked it with PB Blaster and let it sit for a few days. It's not coming off and it's tight to maneuver in there with the shaft from the transfer case running right next to it...

I don't have any issue with my current SOHC V6 but it doesn't hurt to plan for eventual rebuild. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of the Sealed Power Timing Set? I found it online was curious how well it has held up in rebuilds. I've heard lot's of negatives about aftermarket cassettes.

I finally picked up a replacement transmission range sensor from NAPA and want to install it myself. I noticed the sensor has clear alignment marks from manufacturing. It's pretty tight in that area around the linkage. Any advice on making this install easier? Thanks for any feedback.

I inspected the Transmission Range Sensor on my '04 SOHC V6 4WD and the contacts on the sensor and connector appear clean. It threw a code P0708 after our mountain trip and we headed home to inspect. Since there are no apparent signs of contact erosion or grounding out what does anyone think it...

Can anyone help me out on this one? I got the dreaded CEL and pulled a P0708 code while on vacation in the mountains. Can I solve my problem with a new range sensor and a trans fluid and filter change most likely? Can you give me the location of the sensor? I know I can probably find it at the...

Opinions please. Anyone used this product? I'm interested and would like to hear the good, bad and ugly.

Question - Is the evap drain for the A/C square shaped at it's exit. I'm looking at what I believe is the drain above the trans harness on the driver's side. Very tight. Is it possible to run a wire up from the bottom and clear any blockage of the drain? Thanks for any feedback.

I have an '04 Ex XLT 4WD. Of what's available what is the best solution in a unitized assembly (strut and spring) going right now for my model truck? I'm looking at the KYB Strut Plus. Any opinions? Thanks for any feedback.

Has anyone seen uneven wear on their brake pads top to bottom like the caliper had one piston that was not operating properly. One pushing harder than the other. I'm putting a new pair of pads in but will watch it to see if it does it again. Chime in if you have anything to share. Thanks.

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the bolt that connects the lower control arm to the rear wheel hub assembly. About to put the hub back on after new bearing has been pressed in. As far as I know the axle nut is 203 ft/lbs and the pinch bolts are 66 ft/lbs. Thanks for any help.

What is the most any of you have paid to have a bearing pressed out and a new one pressed in your Gen3. Specifically the rear. I have to pay $106 for one hub serviced. That sounds like robbery to me. Tell me what you think. I know price varies around the states but here that sounds insane. I...

For those in the know. I will be changing bearing for the first time soon on my '04 4WD Ex V6. Take a look at this hub puller and tell me if it will work for my needs in order to change front and rear. Thanks...

I just got a parts order in for hub assemblies for all four wheels. I bought Timken for front and back for my '04 Ex 4WD. I noticed that the fronts had Made in USA stamped on them but the rear press-in bearings had F.A.G. - Korea stamped on them. Was this a mistake or is Timken shipping other...

Can someone please help me verify the parts I'm looking at will work for my application. I have a 2004 4WD XLT Explorer. I want Moog greasable replacement ball joints. I have the factory 16" five spoke alloy wheels. Moog also lists a rear ball joint as well. Is that correct. For those of you...

Can anyone give me an estimate of how long you think it would take to change out upper and lower ball joints for the front. Never done it before and would like to tackle it if I could. Thanks for any feedback.

I have an '04 4x4 Ex. Would I be able to just bolt in and out an assembly front and back if I bought the assembly as opposed to having the bearings pressed out and in? At least that's the way I think it works. Can anyone verify and tell me if they know what parts from Timken I would need to do...

I have not been on in a while and saw a ton of posts relating to wheel bearing while doing a search. I have to replace 2 front and one rear on my 4x4 Ex. Does anyone make an improved design that seems to last much longer than stock bearings? Also can someone direct me to the best post or source...

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why my airflow from the dash is almost nothing? Help!

I managed to get all but one of the manifold bolts out of my '04 V6. Does anyone know if you need a special tool to get the last bolt on the backside out. I can feel it with my finger but don't know if I can find a way to get it out. Any help would be much appreciated.:help:

I tried to remove the bolts that hold the thermoplastic manifold on my '04 V6 and the heads stripped. I was using a T25 star drive and the soft metal stripped right out. Anyone else have this problem and can you give me any advice on how to get them out? I was going to use a screw/bolt removal...

Who has changed their fuel rail pressure sensor? What all do I need to do it minus the sensor itself? Any help would be appreciated. Shoot me a how to thread if you have one.

Would really appreciate a little experience on this one guys. My wife was on the way home in our '04 Ex K-flex V6 and a service soon light came up. She told me the guy at Advance read that it was - "Fuel rail pressure sensorA circuit high input". Now she went to the local Ford dealership and...

I really could use help to anyone willing and patient. I have a 2004 V6 Ex. I took the throttle body off about an hour ago and was doing some inspection after my wife was complaining about it running rough. I intended to just clean the TB up and put it back on the intake. Well I noticed what I...

Is it that I have a lot of wear or is it the fact that this engine's lineage is pretty old because it is pretty thrashy when it accelerates. Just wondering if you can rebuild this thing for balance and better vibration and sound control. Sounds pretty bad. Just curious and trying to pick the...
