Just acquired (for free) a 99 Explorer with the 5.0 and auto. It only has reverse, no forward gears at all. My other 99 with the sohc motor and 5 spd auto had the valve body gasket blowout issue which I repaired. Does the 5.0 have the 4r70 w trans? And is it susceptible to the same valve body...

Got it, was having an alzhiemers moment. A big thanks to the members of this Forum. The real world advice that one gets here far exceeds what you can hope to find in a haynes or a chilton. I was assuming and looking for a relay which I was sure was the culprit and I thought "why not check the...

thanks for the reply. The main problem I'm having is that the wires on my aftermarket pigtail dont match the original ford colors and I dont want to burn up the resistor.

I would like to run this by you guys for an opinion. My 99 exploder is slow to engage when I put in drive. And actually it has progressed to the point where it wont engage in drive at all, BUT if I shift into 2nd or low it engages immediately and then I shift back into drive and it's fine. No...

I have an intermittent braking issue. When I apply initial light pedal pressure, such as getting off the highway, the pedal actually feels like it is being sucked down, it doesnt go all the way to the floor and it isn't a rapid event, but the pedal will continue to travel down unassisted for a...

is it the cammer motor? If so it could be the tensioners and all the related crap for the OHC,s. Just got done with mine.

Hy all, my 99 exploder has a towing package. Should it have a dedicated light harness somewhere at the back end of the truck that I can plug the adapter harness into? If so where is it hiding? Thanks, Dave

Hey all. Mr 99 xlt has the death rattle. I was ready to fix it this weekend but I stumbled across a wrecked 04 with the 4.0 cammer motor in it and can get the motor for $ 600.00. It currently has 44,000 miles. Will this motor work with my computer? Will it swap in ? I dont mind a few changes or...
