Thank you SethMorgan once again for your helpful response and advice. I will follow up soon on the outcome.

I might apologize in the delay response these 12 hour shifts are killing me. Thank you Exproblems and SethMorgan for your helpful response. Sorry for being a noob but when the dealer told me "unstable" cylinders does that mean that they are misfiring? If all the cylinders are unstable...

Okay, so I decided to hold off on the transmission until I know for a fact and that it shows(symptoms) 100% or at least close to 100%. So....about the vibration..... I'm not sure how a mechanic at a dealership would diagnose a vibration problem. I told them and they seen no CEL was on. They...

Do you think there are any pending codes and how exactly does one check for them? -I went to AAP and the guy said that their scanner only can pick up codes if the CEL is on? Would it for something to be wrong with the tranny without the CEL being on? I know there is something wrong, I just...

So got to the dealer and they told me that its $160 buck to diagnosis the transmission if not covered under the extended warranty..... i thought twice and decided to reschedule as I would be annoyed paying for them to tell me "they couldn't reproduce the symptoms". Here is what is going on...

Search the form and couldn't quite place my finger on where to place this one. Please forgive me if this isn't the right section. A year ago when I had the rear diff. overhauled and some other work done, it took a little bit over a week. No cost to me expect the $100 deductible and a free...

Thanks ExProblems, I appreciate you taking the time and responding to my concerns. Very Helpful advice :)

First Problem: The transmission shifts hard making a bang and jerking feeling. This doesn't happen all the time, I would estimate it to be about 50% of the time. I have heard about stories when people getting their transmission worked and and within a short duration they were stranded on the...

Thank you Oxygen for your reply and advice. :)

I am currently looking for a way to brighten up my headlights. I know I can get HID but I am currently not looking to send $1,000 or more on headlights right now. What is the best bulb to place inside of my explorer to give me more light? I have done some research for the brightest headlight...

I hope that is a dealer price and not a independent mechanic shop. but it is too high anyway. and if you are paying close to 4k than i believe it should be a lot of less miles on the engine than 80k. I would shop around before paying that much. I would recommend to check junkyard as they...

Thank you andre244 and Exproblems for the help, I will update this as soon as I can. Thanks again to everyone :)

Thank you Wills for your response. I will update with the problems once I figure these problems out. :)

First problem: Transmission hard jerk once it gets to about 25-30mph. It happens at both accelerating and decelerating but usually happens more when decelerating such as when I take my foot off the gas. Its happens on hills(up and down) and when level. Would flushing the transmission help or are...

sorry for being a noob....but how exactly would you do this? do you have to jack it up to look under it?

I can't tell you about your first question but about your second question...I had a 99 XLT that OD light flashed i lost the 2nd and 5 gears as well. I drove with it like that for so long and nothing happen except when you are at high speeds such as 55-60 it would sometimes drop in to neutral...

Joe is correct EB is painted satin gold...if remember serves i don't recall seeing an 04 EB when i was looking for one with chrome grill (from the factory at least)..could be wrong?

I am guessing that your sensor(s) are probably bad. Here is a thread that has been helpful to many people with problems with sensors. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225265 if you have any problems try to post on this thread above, since there is 3 pages of information...

thanks for the information....and LOL yeah that was a typo....i shouldn't post early in the A.M. without having coffee first...thanks once again

I have been using e87 fuel with 10% ethanol but I don't have flex fuel. I know the ethanol causes more corrosion to some components of the vehicle and possible damage. Should I change from this particular gas station or is it safe to use? Thank in advance for the information.

http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285798 They might have done something that caused the problem but you have to prove that they did something wrong. Hopefully someone with more information will chime in.

No payments ....I dont believe in borrow money and paying interest on vehicles because they decreased in value. I just don't wanna pay for something which i wont need but than again people have claim to have it pay for itself with a big repair. i hate blackjack by the way...lol seeing thing like...

maybe something in this thread can help to a possible solution: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=273814 if not the weather stripping than possible the door needs to be slightly readjusted..just a guess this sounds like a good idea to pinpoint the exact location...

yes it is a 4x4.

JoeDirt is correct. I believe that no matter how much you change the code, the original code still works. I never understood this so people who previously owned or knows the code can get access to the vehicle at anytime

Last year when I purchased the X i purchase a 12month/12,000 PremiumCare Warranty for $1,000. the X is at 58,000 and will expire at little over 62,000 miles. The reason why I purchased the ESP the first time was because my 99 XLT was horrible everything you can possible think that could go...

Could be sway bar bushing.... It could be a list of things... Does it happen on dry and/or wet days, at what speed, and etc. information such as this narrows down the possibility and helps identify the source of the problem. Don't forget to use the search..most problems people have has...

When the weather warms up in Upstate I am planning on doing a few things to the interior. 1.) For some reason there are tears just on the side of the driver set. I am not sure if it is caused for sitting too long or something. Would Leather magic work for this? >> I will update pictures of the...

you can turn your key to the on position and check to see if you have a symbol like this: that will light up than go out. Or you can let out some air out of on of your tires to see if this symbol shows....:D JK I would go with the first one...if you have it, it will shortly light up when in...

I have the same thing too but i don't really hear much of the ticking once the engine gets warmed up. I believe it is the lifters that collapsed. or i think it could be a exhaust manifold leaks. Im going to hear towards the collapsed lifter. For the collapsed lifter(s): Some have claimed to...

my first guess was wheel bearings but since you just replace them.......ummmm u might want to try the alignment..they are not expensive and..if that don't work i would just spend a few bucks and make a mechanic tell u what it is...u can always fix it yourself after the diagnosis ..trial and...

I am no paint expert and/or never have done any paint work. Why does it matter that the primer was dried too fast? Also What does that have to do with the paint sticking? <<,According to what the Body/Paint Shop at the Ford Dealer told me.

Have you ever drove at night time and somebody behind you have their high-beams on or really bright head lights? It is an auto dimmer which dims the light so it wont blind u when you look in the rear view. no question is stupid btw

my right front wheel bearing went out yesterday while on the highway. the mileage is 57800. i thought they usually last for a while. just got it fixed. question: since the right one broke should i keep an eye out for the left one now too?

just remmeber octane rating refers to how much energy it takes to ignite(explode) the gas, and not how much energy the gas will give. using higher octane is just wasting money unless your driving a car which requires it like an aston martin which require it because it has a high compression...

Well today I went to handle some business a few hour away. I went on the highway about 1hour and half one way. I got there did what I had to do and was going back home. All of a sudden my X started strangle rumbling and vibration sound/feeling. It eventually got longer. It gets longer when I am...
