Good Morning, I apologize in advance if this should be in another area. Please let me know and I will be happy to comply. I have a 2005 Explorer (it's not 4X4) and it has the AdvTrac feature. I used to own a 98 and I loved it. The Explorer is in good condition with 138,000 miles. I noticed...

Oh man, I'm having a rough day and I have a feeling my explorer is toast. I have a 98 ford explorer, SOHC, and I am doing my usually maint. I was going to use seafoam through the brake booster, which I have done several times before, and then change the oil, wires, and plugs. Well, the ENTIRE...

Hello Everyone, I recently discovered that my 3rd brake light on the back hatch will not turn off. The other two brake lights are fine. I looked at the switch on the brake pedal and I here it clicking when the lights are engaged. I have never ran into this type of problem. I noticed even when...

Hey everyone, I just want anyone's opinion. I have replaced almost all of the front end suspension on my 98 ford explorer 4X4. I replaced the upper control arms (includes balljoints). Swithed to the single design on the passenger side so the bushings could be replaced. Lower ball joints...

I just replaced my upper control arm w/ball joint and lower balljoint. The problem is is that there is a small gap between the lower ball joint and the knuckle.

I have just finished searching through old threads to see if anyone know how to fix this problem. My alarm goes off after I lock my car, and its usually hours after I lock it. When I lock my car it only beeps once which I found out means that its not a door sensor. When I get in my car and lock...

Yesterday I managed to remove everything except for the upper control arm. Due to the beautiful design of my car I had 2 fuel lines in the way of the right bolt on the uppercontrol arm. I managed to remove that one by carefully guiding it inbetween the two lines. However on the left side I could...
