Just wanted to rant and get some feedback... Recently bought a 2003 XLT 4x4 Explorer as the family people carrier (traded in the 98 EB :( Anyway, it had 18,500 miles and several minor things to be fixed...in addition to a vibration from 4000 rpm. up... They fixed all the minor stuff and...

Howdy! I have spent several hours reading every archived post I could find using different words to describe what is happening to my 1998 EB 5.0 AWD Explorer (sputter, bog, falter, intermittant hesitation, etc...) Here is what happens... Case #1: My wife goes to leave work and pulls...

OK, quick question Explorer gurus... I have a 1998 EB Sploder with 5.0 and 130,000 miles... I didn't want to fire up the rig to move it the other day, so I turned on the key and put it in neutral to move it. I had to turn the wheel hard to the right to back it up, then straightened it...

Howdy, Quick question... anybody know if a new blend door could be custom made that would work? My blend door is stuck, and I am dreading pulling the dash- however I know that you can access the door from the front if you pull a bunch of stuff off... I don't want to give FORD $100+ for a...

Howdy, Just wondering if anybody knows offhand the size of the thread on the screws holding the MAS sensor into the aluminum MAS body? I am going to clean the MAS soon, and want to replace the D^^%&*(#^*^%(*$^N Security Torx screws that it has now... Thanks for any replies...:D

I have a 98 EB w/ electronic climate control and I am scared that the blend door is gonna die soon... When I change it from cool to warm air it makes a funny noise (almost like a farting noise:eek: :confused: ) Anyway, I'm thinking that noise is the blend door catching, and wondering if...

Hey sploder gurus, I have a problem I have been messing with since I got my sploder 4 mths ago, and I have spent a lot of time looking at the archives, etc... and still no luck... I have a 98 EB V8 AWD and the day after I bought it the cruise quit working... no light on the dash, etc... So...

I got a quick question for all you paint gurus... I washed the X last night (first time since I got it 2 mths. ago:eek: ) and noticed that the paint had a "rough" feel to it. I finished washing it, and dryed it with my Absorber shammy... and the rough stuff was still there... It is on...

Hey- I don't mean to open a can of worms, but I just got done reading through several NHTSA documents about the Ford/Firestone fight and the potential for rollover of the Explorer vs. other SUV's. Anybody else know anything about this? I know it was huge in the news for a couple months, and...

Hey, I know this has been talked about a zillion times- but I am REALLY ****-retentive (especially with my vehicles) and want to make sure I did it right... I changed the diff fluid tonight- pulled the cover, cleaned it off, Black Siliconed the cover- let it wait- siliconed the bolts and...

Hey- quick question... I'm gonna be getting a new muffler soon and am wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to combine the two 2 1/4 pipes coming from the cats to the muffler into one 3 inch pipe??? I am looking at putting on a 50 series or 40 Delta Flow, and would like to go 3 inch...

I put on my cheapo shackles tonight and something weird happened... I measured before and after... The measurements were measured from the wheelwell to the floor (in the same place before and after) & the results were: FRONT: Drivers Pass. 33 3/16 33 5/8 Before 33...

Howdy, Quick question- I have read until my eyes hurt about shackles- Warrior and otherwise... I bought a set of the AZ $17 two peice shackles- I am not worried about putting them on- it looks like a pretty straight forward process... So my question is: I am wondering how they have held...

HEY EVERYBODY!!! I'm new to the Explorer world- but have already been impressed on the replies I have gotten on this board... I have read pretty much every thread on shackles in the archives, and know that they should lift my 1998 E.B. AWD about 1.5 inches in the rear (about 1 in. if you...

WOW! This site rocks!!! Just wanted to say hi- I am new to this board and have found it very useful... I decided to buy an Explorer partially based on this site (because there is such a following of others who have them, and I will not be alone if I have a problem...) Anyway, I recently...
