Hello all! Some of you may remember my 1999 EB saga a few months ago. Been looking for a clean, safe and well maintained vehicle for my daughter ever since. Seems people just do not know how to maintain their cars. 7 months later I finally found it, 1998 XLT V6 2wd, 119000 miles. It was a one...

Thanks all! In Arizona it only costs $50.00 to get a Salvage title to a Restored Title where it can be put back on the road. I was thinking about asking around $1000.00 +-. Had a second opinion from a body shop, friend of my mechanic and he said same thing as adjuster, around 5k to...

Posted awhile back about the parking lot wreck that my daughter was involved in. I now have a salvage title and need to sell. 136k 5.0 V8 2WD Eddie Bauer with leather. The only body damage is from the parking lot wreck. Runs well and has been very well maintained. Interior is very good other...

You got that right!!!

It is unbelievable! I had passed the 99EB to my daughter a couple months ago. It was well maintained and safe. Daughter going to college class 3 nights ago and gets run into in intersection. Neither driver was hurt. Adjuster came out and totaled the Explorer. Blue Book at dealer is...

Thought I would try and contribute something. Last week my Driver door Ajar light came on, double alarm beeps when locking and dome lights staying on. I used a screwdriver and tripped the latch to mirror the door being closed. Found that the movement of the door back and forth would trigger the...

Another thing to consider with city driving. Driving in a large congested city will lower mpg considerably than where I am. We still move pretty good with traffic flow.

I have looked in the owners manual and would like to know if I can change the horn alert when setting the alarm with the remote. The current set is very loud, when I get home late and hit the lock/alarm the horn is very loud. Can it be set to chirp or just flash the lights?

I have not bought the repair manual for mine yet. Anybody have the wiring diagram for the factory radio?

Congrats on the new truck!

I just got my 06 with a V8. Took a 3000 mile trip and most of the time averaged 22 mpg hwy and 18 in the city. Had a head wind going into SLC and dropped the HWY down to 17 @ 75mph avg speed. Pretty much inline with what I have got for several years on my V8 Explorer. I do drive pretty easy.

Thanks for the link! Worked on my 06 Mountaineer.

Could you explain that? I am thinking about getting these tires, I have always bought the LTX M/S and wonder if the Latitudes have a better ride quality. No off roading for me, mostly highway.

I guess I'm old school. I use full syn and change my oil at 4000 miles. Before you all tell me what a waste... the combustion engine is still the same as years ago, metal against metal, and to me I do not buy the idea that you can go a year between oil changes. I would not go a year if I only...

When I try to open the NAV screen to get to the DVD the screen starts to open about 3/8" and then closes down. Any ideas on how to get it open?

Well I bought the 06 Mercury Mountaineer. It is really pretty sharp. Drove it at night for the 1st time and guess what, no buttons light up around the touch screen. I'm talking about the Radio and NAV buttons like, Media, Menu, Map ETC. None at all, just the screen lights up. There has to be...

I think you are right. I am a semi old guy now and when I get hung up on something I seem to dwell on it. I find myself just looking for things wrong with it now, to talk myself out of buying it.

1 owner 26k Miles, Premier V8 2WD Very clean, seen it before detail. Couple things that concern me. My 99 EB Explorer never acted this way. When on highway at 70+ the slightest side wind pushes the truck to the side. Turned around to go the other direction and same thing, pushed toward the...

Hello all! I have not been around for a while. Still have the 99 EB X 133k on it now. Only trouble was Shocks and a new radiator at 90k. Knock on Wood!! I am giving it to my daughter for work and school. I am looking at a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer and will post a question over in that...

I think you hit it! Thanks! :) One question, I know I need to get it replaced, but until then will it go completely out and leave me stranded? I drive a lot. Thanks again.

Hello all. 99 X 5.0 V8 Started hearing this squeaking noise about 2 weeks ago. I thought it was the top belt bearing attached to the PS pump. Replace it no help. The noise comes and goes. Hot / cold no difference. It sounds like a bearing squealing more like a chirp. It is not loud but...

Update *** Brake Problem Please Help *** Thought I would post on the situation since some people were having same problem. After pulling the rotors off for a second time and repacking the bearings, checking everything out close I still had the problem. I found a good local shop and was told...

Drew, Thanks "Is there a "non-directional" finish on the rotors?" I do not know what you mean... Roughed up the Pads, brake cleaner on the rotors; yes... I will pull this thing apart this weekend and get some Pic's. I did not check the rear as the feel seems to be in the front. I...

Not sure but check this post. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141914&highlight=blend+door Then maybe do a search on Blend Door. Good luck BTW ; this is a great site with a lot of good information and help with your Explorer...

Well I pulled the rotors had them turned and cleaned up the pads. Drove it, same thing. The old pads were worn pretty equal so would that mean no caliper issues, RIGHT? I do not know what to do next. I don't want to just start changing parts and throwing money at it. I cannot believe how wierd...
