All right here is the deal. 97 explorer. Few days ago when i started up my truck i would here a clicking underneath the dash. It would go on for about 3 min then stop. Heat would sometimes work, sometimes not. after all the talk about the blend door i figured that was the problem. I have...

I've got my X ripped apart right now, As i see it the blend door actuator is attached on the big black box with 4 screws. The directions i have say you can just pry it off, I can't see how you do this, it's looks like it is screwed in place. I took the front two out, but the back two i can't...

Just purchased a 97 V8 AWD E.B. One question i have is there seems to be a slight wine coming from the front end at lower speeds when driving slow. I'm thinking this is the AWD feature cus the front axel is always spinning. Any truth to this... 2nd question is I am going to be changing...

Hi everyone...so excited right now. Just bought my second used explorer. The wife is taking the 94 limited and I bought a 97 EB with the V8 AWD. After looking under it from the front i see what looks like to be a oil cooler. What i am looking at is right underneath the front bumber about 12"...

Hi everyone, My fiance and i are looking a used 98 mounty with a V8. After driving it i noticed a slight ticking sound when it started up. Under hard accel. you could really hear this ticking sound...could not here at idle. After 5 min of driving it competley went away. Wondering if other...

looking to buy a new x really soon and am confused over this air ride suspension they had on some years. I know I want a V8 leather, sunroof, and pretty much all the rest of the loaded up stuff, but i do not want the air ride suspension(4 corner version/rear shocks). I love the limited models...

cleaned battery cables this morning. Went to start it and starts fine, but three seconds into it running it gives off the loudest SCREAMING noise you could think of, almost sound like the starter is not disegaging from the flywheel. So replaced the starter. Still does the same thing. Now i...
