My air conditioning has always seemed to not be very good since I originally purchased the explorer over a year ago. It blows cold when putting my hand on the vent but does not seem to cool down the car. It gets a lot worse when the air conditioning in the rear is turned on as well. Its fine...

Yes they replaced the calipers as well. And the noise isnt terrible like it was. Its only a slight squeak that I do not even hear everytime I brake. Parts used were brake pads part # BND D833. Both Calipers # CLP 18-B4759 and 18-B4758 and rotors # BDR 540997

I took my car in because the brake calipers were sticking and had the brake pads in the front and rotors replaced. Before the work it was making a constant squeaking while driving. Now after the replacement of the brakes I sometimes hear a little squeaking when I am braking. It's not as loud as...

The ball joints would cause it? I'm not sure if that is what it is making the noise because I know I have to replace those but its like a high pitch squeak when turning right and going slow. I know the ball joints would make a squeaking noise but that would only be when going over bumps and stuff??

Just wondering what could be causing this. Before when ever I would be going at slow speeds and when coming to a stop I would here a squeaking noise that sounded like brakes, but the brakes are pretty new. Took it to my mechanic and they said there was nothing wrong with them. Now it seems...

When I turn my 2001 explorer sport V6 sohc on I hear a noise that sounds very similar to the mosquito cell phone noise. It isn't very loud and I only hear it when I am outside the car when I just turned it on. Any ideas???

Anyone???

I have read a lot posts on here about how the 4.0 SOHC engine has a big issue with the timing chains. I have looked up some videos and have listened to some of the noises that a bad timing chain will make and have a question about mine. I have a 2001 sport v6 sohc with 121000 miles on it...

Are you saying that's way to cheap??

Ya definitely get the one you want. I bought a cheaper $150 radio first and then immediately upgraded to the pioneer double din one. did the same with my speakers bought crappy Sony Walmart ones then once I got my subs immediately needed a higher quality ones with higher rms watts. So save up...

I had a pioneer double din with a 5.2 inch screen. It was the best money I spent on my car. It was pretty cheap and the one great feature about it was the bluetooth. Made taking phone calls in the car so much easier. Another thing was I had a bypass so I could play a movie on it while driving...

Ya I was looking at some auto body and paint shops in my area and one had the prices listed that they repaint the entire truck for $1200. They had pictures of cars and trucks they have painted, and they seem to do a pretty good job. Even if it isn't the best possible paint job I wouldn't really...

Luckily mine is all on the roof so its not really noticeable

Ya I dont really know either are yours in the same place as mine on top of the roof or are they all over the car?

How much do you think it would cost for a shop to do it?

How much would that cost for a shop to do?

I looked on top of my roof and saw that I have oxidation and what looks like a lot of little cracks in the paint. It is only on the roof and no where else on the truck. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make the paint up there look like the rest of the paint on the truck.

Thanks for your help Keith. I also forgot to mention that sometimes when I shift from reverse to drive the car starts to shake when I first start moving forward and then goes away almost immediately.

So like the title says I have owned my 2001 ford explorer sport for 2 weeks now and have noticed a few things wrong with it. The first main thing is the shift lever.Whenever I put the car into reverse the shift lever kinda snaps into the gear. It doesn't feel as smooth as when I shift into...

I figured that if I am going to have to take stuff apart to see it Ill just take it to my mechanic when I get my oil changed and tires rotated. I don't have many if any tools and am not mechanically inclined.

After having the car for a week it didn't go away. Sometimes I notice when I put the car in Park the little thing that says which gear your in (not sure what its called) is right on the P. Other times when I put the car park it is to the right of the P. Not sure why it does this, and it doesn't...

I notice that when I stop in my explorer the car seems to jerk a little. When I press the brakes to stop and then take pressure off the brake before completely stopping it doesn't do it, but if I just press down consistently on the brakes and come to a complete stop the car kinda makes a little...

I just bought a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport, and I was having a little bit of an issue with it. I have searched around, but it seems that the other people with the problem were having a problem starting their ex because of the shift lever. I just have a concern that whenever I put the car into...

So I think I figured out my first little project. The cruise control On/Off button is pretty much melted and has gotten some weird purple and green a little on the steering wheel. Anyone know how much it would cost to buy the part and have my mechanic put it on for me.

My name is Connor and I have been on this site on and off for about 3 years. So I have had a few cars since I started driving 3 and a half years ago. Basically I want to use this threat to keep track of what I do to the car and goals I have with the car. My first car was a 1998 ford explorer...
