'99 XLT V-8, had it since new. 219,128 miles. It served me very well. The winters it spent in Western NY were hard on it. Showing lots of rust, needed brakes, needed tires, slow coolant leak, fuel pump was going south in a hurry. I cried uncle today.

I had a '94 and still have a '99 V8 that i bought new. My current daily is a 4Runner V8. i don't know what I'd get today if I was buying new. It wouldn't be an Explorer.

Ad claims 4 new tires, but image 77 shows a worn mismatched tire...

No, it means his wife has a new lawn ornament.

My neighbor's '98 SOHC V6 lost its reverse this week. Had it since new, well maintained. He's decided it's not worth fixing.

Are you sure it's in neutral? Some Fords with a lot of age have transmission indicators that have slipped.

Is 2700 the boat weight, or the whole package? Add trailer, motor, battery, gas, all your stuff and you might be pushing 4500 lbs. You need to make sure your tongue weight isn't too light (the trailer will sway) You need to make sure the trailer bearings are in good shape.

Clicked over 200,000 this morning. Had it since new. 40 oil changes, 2 tranny fluid changes, 3 sets of new tires, 2 sets of front brake pads, 1 set of rears, 1 pair of front rotors and bearings, 1 radiator, 1 multifunction switch, 1 rear axle brake line, 2 IAC valves, 2 throttle position...

You can get the outers by pulling the cap on the axel and undoing the nut. You have to pull the rotor to get to the inner bearing.

First place to look is the line that goes along the rear axle.

My 5.0 gets a light ping under moderate load after maybe a year (maybe more, don't keep track). Seafoam takes care of it and the ping is gone for a good while.

If the chain broke, you can't properly check compression on that side anyway.

For a V-6, it's outstanding For a V-8, it's good

There's a rubber grommet on the bottom of the bell housing. Pull it, then bump the starter to get the torque converter rotated around so you can see its drain plug. Undo that plug, and you can get the rest of the fluid out and do a complete change. I think the total is 12 quarts when...

Yea, but aluminium will oxidize. My brother had constant problems with his Subaru aluminum wheels oxidizing and leaking air at the bead.

Did mine the other day. I got the Dorman one piece A-arms and Mevotech alignment bolt kits from RockAuto. Pass side A-arm was made in China and came with a new pinch bolt and grease fitting. Drivers side was made in Taiwan and did not include pinch bolt or grease fitting. I messed with the...

Did mine the other day. PB Blaster and BFH. Pickel fork to pop the joints. I used the jack under the A-arm to get them in after a few hours in the freezer. Took some beating on the A-arm to get them seated all the way. I pulled the top off the brake calipers and tied them out of the way...

You smelled burning rubber, replace the belt.

Chaffing from the bracket will cut right through the paint
