I have a ‘97 Explorer EB with what I believe is a prairie tan interior. The interior trim code on the door says FX but I cannot find proof online that says FX is prairie tan. Is there different shades of prairie tan from 1997 to 2001?? I know the 96 and 95 was Sattle tan which is much darker...

Hey all; I have a ‘97 Ford Explorer EB 4x4 with the 4.0L SOHC v6. Got around 82,000 miles on it. Here lately when I start the car it takes a lot longer than it should to start. Sometimes I have to put the gas pedal to the floor to get it to start but not always. Does either hot or cold. Just...

Hey all i've been looking around on the internet for some wheels that would look good on my '97 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4. The rims that are on it are ok, just never been wild about them. Can't find any pics online of 2nd gen X's Eddie Bauer with aftermarket wheels on them. Would like to stay...

I've been running Motorcraft 5w-30, motorcraft filter since I bought the car back in 12-31-05 and it had 50,000 miles on it at that time. The X was previously a lease/demo car so it had to be maintained during that time. I have changed the oil every 3,500 miles since then. So my X has always...

I tried to remove the upper ball joints on my 2WD Explorer the other day and the tool would not push the ball joint out of the A Arm. I believe that I have to replace the whole A Arm because the ball joint is built in; is this true?? I have seen 4wd explorers being able to remove ball joint out...

I just had the solenoid pack in the transmission replaced 5,000 miles ago and i believe it just went out again!!! :mad: It started shifting funny 3rd to 4th gear, like it was stuck in neutral when it was trying to change from 3rd to 4th. It wont change unless i let off the gas. Shortly after...

I just replaced my spark plugs 2-3 days ago and the car has been running great until today. While i was driving down the road i noticed a jerky feel while the car was in fifth gear goin about 60 (car was misfiring), Then the check engine soon light came on and sometimes blinks. I stoped by my...
