    Oil Pressure, Rear Main Seal Leak Troubleshooting Help Needed

    So I've been beating myself up about this problem for a couple of weeks and have finally decided to ask for help...(97 4.0 V6 ohv) A few weeks back, I was about 100 miles from home and the oil gauge is dropping to nothing, then back up, and sometimes just flicking back and forth. I know its...

    What happened to the Sport?

    I've been looking all over www.fordvehicles.com looking for any info on the 2004 Explorer Sport, but have found nothing. Did I miss the fact that they stopped producing them or something?

    Power steering pump or rack problem?

    So my white truck's power steering has been giving me problems as of late. When driving streight for a while it sometimes becomes a bit tough to turn the wheel at first. What's annoying is that it's impossible to recreate, it just happens when you're not expecting, almost like a loss of power...

    Missing 3rd Gear on New 5 Speed

    Ok, so I bought a freshly rebuilt Mazda 5 speed for my white truck (600 bucks from http://phoenixhardparts.com!) any how, everything works great on it except it occasionally has problems shifting into 3rd gear under harder acceleration. Every other gear works great, but when you get on it, it...

    Anyone have a front diff fail before?

    So over the weekend I picked up my new and improved differentials from a shop in Philly with brand new 4.56s in them. I spent all day yesterday putting them in and torqueing them all down to spec. Today my new 35s came, I slapped them on and drove to work just fine. However on the way home I...

    Torque specs on SVO axle girdle

    I'm moving my SVO axle girdle from the street truck to the trail truck since I'm not exactly pushing enough HP on the white one to damage to the diff, plus it's tucked away so deep you can't even see it for looks, so might as well put it to use on the trail rig. Only problem is that I don't...

    New ARB Safari Snorkel

    So after hearing plenty of horror stories about hydolocking and having a close call myself I decided I needed a bit of protection. I looked around and the only manufacuter of snorkels was ARB, and of course they didn't make one for an Explorer. So I go and do what most of us Explorer owners...

    Axle Hop Woes

    Ok, I've been looking around and havn't found anything that address what I'm looking for. Here's my problem, ever since I got my new 3.73 Limited slip rear end (replaced my open 3.27s), my burnouts have been soooo violent with axle hop. Is this the LS grabbing with one tire then the other and...

    Pathetic whoops.

    So I was at home in Memphis this weekend and I got to drive my mom's Explorer all around town and got it stuck in the stuipidest of all places...my own driveway. I was backing out of their garage while on my phone and, well, backed up too far. She's got an open diff and 2wd so it couldn't get...

    99 front bumper on a 97 X

    Over the summer I hit my first car (BMW Z3 of all cars) and my front bumper is bent slightly, the frame and everything is fine but I would like to replace the bumper all together. My question is, will a front bumper from a 99-2001 Explorer fit on my '97 Sport? I'd like to find a 99+ with the...
