So, following the advice of some folks here, I ordered a Bosch 66085 fuel pump. Anyone else getting a Walbro GSS250 in their Bosch box? As far as I knew, Bosch and Walbro/TI were separate entities. Not upset, Walbro is good stuff, was just surprised to find it.

Alrighty, this '98 5.0 that's plaguing me has the following DTCs: PATS B1232 PATS B1681 PATS U1147 I really can't find anything specific here or googling around, just a bunch of ancillary stuff to suggest that the PATS module has gone bad. Will the PATS module from a 2000 4.0 OHV work in a...

This is a different Explorer (98) than my 99 that I had another thread about, with a similar issue. No fuel on a 98 V8. Fuel pump replaced before discovering a PATS error. PATS light is rapid flashing, eventually dumping a 12 code (one flash, pause, two flash, long pause, repeat). Pretty...

Can someone point me in the direction of a good troubleshooting process for the PATS system on my '99? I've been having intermittent fuel issues - specifically, the fuel pump not firing/priming on attempted startup. I was suspecting the fuel pump going out, but now I'm thinking it might be the...

My power steering pump is adopting a habit of intermittently dumping it's fluid out. It's not a consistent leak, I can refill it and it holds it for weeks, and then *splortch*, I've got a puddle of fluid underneath, and the steering screams until I refill it. As such, I've decided I probably...

So, when I bought my '99 Explorer, one of the first things I did was a shackle-and-torsion-twist lift to it, allowing me to replace the stock 235/75-15 tires with some 31x10.5x15 "Wild Country" or "Open Country" mud tires from my local Les Schwab tire dealer. I know they were a...

Admittedly, I haven't dug out my factory service manual, which likely details how to do this, but, does anyone have a link to how to remove the headliner (specifically in the rear) of a Gen 2? I had to remove my Safari rack from my truck because the driver's rear corner was bouncing - I think...

Trying to chase down a gremlin in my '99 XLT (4.0 SOHC). About every other time I go to start it, it won't start, because the fuel pump won't turn on (the initial key-on prime where it runs for a second or two). I basically have to sit there and Key-On/Key-Off for a couple minutes before it'll...

Looking for recommendations for a pair of round 4" lights. I was going to go with the Hella Optilux 4" HIDs, but they're apparently discontinued. Anzo makes a light that's very similar, but I'm not familiar with their rep for active lighting. Other thoughts?

So, my rear diff has started making noise - kind of a rattling when coasting. The noise goes away mostly under acceleration. The diff has had a slow leak for a while, and the Explorer has been parked for some time. Stupidly, I decided to take it out without checking the rear diff fluid level...

I'm trying to find some harnesses/pigtails that plug into the factory fog light plug on a '99 XLT. I've replaced my bumper with an RLC (LOVING IT!), and want to install new foglights, but use the factory wiring. I just found some a few days ago, but somehow lost the link and can't remember...

So, I'm considering a SAS on my '99, and I've been reading a bunch of SAS build threads, but there really seems to be little consistency with how people are doing these - donor parts are all over the place. That's not a bad thing, necessarily - it basically gives me a bunch of options, but now...

Greetings to all! Been away for quite a while, and have missed this place. I just picked up a 2000 XLS, likely to become a parts donor, depending on how bad off the engine is. The door tag shows transmission code D. Engine is a 4.0L OHV. Is the 5R55E the only transmission in this...

Howdy! I recently purchased a 3-row all aluminum radiator off of eBay. While I can't be absolutely positive, it looks to be identical to a Champion CC2173. It's got the transmission cooler on it, but he fittings that are welded into this radiator are too short to accept the stock line...

HI! Alright, so: '99 XLT, 4.0L V6 SOHC The air box hose that goes between the MAF and the TB has a couple other hoses/tubes that plug into it. One is rubber, the other is hard plastic. What are these things? In regards to the hard plastic one - I think I may have misplaced a...

'99 4.0L SOHC V6 I'm looking at replacing my alternator with a ~200A model. At the same time, I was considering an underdrive crank pulley. Should I be looking to put an overdrive pulley on the new alternator to compensate?

Been reading the forum for a bit, and haven't stumbled upon what I'm looking for quite yet... I have a '99 XLT - 4.0L SOHC with a 5R55E. I've happened upon what I believe to be a steal of a deal for a complete 5.0L Explorer with some minor damage, but not really repairable - a perfect...

Dumb question: V6 radiator appears to be XL2Z-8005-DA V8 radiator appears to be XL2Z-8005-CA Anyone know the difference between the two? Looking at a project, and just curious if the V6 radiator would fit in a V8, and what not.

Has anyone already attempted a replacement of the plastic fan blade ('99+ V6 Explorer) with a V8 metal fan blade ('96 - '98 Explorer)? What's the main difference between these?

So, I've been running Optima 34/78's in my '99 XLT for the longest time, and they have the base adapter on them so I could use the stock retainer without any issue. I just replaced a fried Optima with an AGM from CarQuest, and the base doesn't have those adaptors, so I'm not able to secure...

Does anyone know what these trim pads are called, behind the rear wheel wells? Better yet, does anyone have a Ford part number for these? I'm looking for a pair (left and right) off of an XLS, no chrome, and can't seem to locate them anywhere. If there was a part number for reference, I...

Anyone know of a replacement end link for a '99 XLT 4WD with the SuperLift 4" suspension lift? SuperLift themselves want $130 for a pair, and are back-ordered out for about a month. I'd prefer not to wait, and that seems a bit steep. If anyone knows of an interchangeable part, I'd be...

How do ya'll keep the rear wiper from getting stuck between the rear window and the gate? Has anyone devised some kind of plug or T-moulding that can ride in there to keep the wiper from binding in that location?

So, I've been dealing with rattling cats for a while, and it's time to replace them. I'm not opposed to a complete exhaust overhaul, but had some queries. I've got a '99 XLT with the 4.0L SOHC. When I lifted it, I had Yukon 4.56's installed, so between that, the lift and the bigger tires...

Anyone had this issue? Any ideas how to fix, or links to threads regarding this particular issue? Couldn't find much in the search on this issue, so here be my post. Thank you!
