After further investigation and with the insight provided by Turdle and Flash I have to concur that the violent shaking was indeed a result of air in the power steering system due to moving the steering wheel with the engine not running. As to the front wheels being able to turn with the rears...

Update: I spoke to the tow service and the said they loaded it on the flatbed and did not tow it two wheels up. I have a witness at the restaurant that confirms the story so the apparent transfer case problem can't be related to improper towing procedure. Just grasping at straws here; they...

The story; my '00 Eddie Bauer V8 Automatic died on me at lunch last Friday, I came out of the restaurant and it wouldn't start. Never any indication prior to that of pending doom. I hitch a ride back to work and after work take a few minor tools and a meter to do some rudimentary...

Just thought I'd share this. .......... I installed the Dorman product on 11/3 /13. It has now died. It had been giving signs of impending failure for a couple of months now. Ohe well, off to Crutchfield! !

I just wanted to update this post if anyone is contemplating the Dorman fix for their radio power supply. I installed the Dorman part in my radio 11/23/13 and here it is 10/21/15 and it's still going strong! So stop "repairing" your board or having it "repaired" and install the dorman part and...

Resurrecting a zombie thread here, I'm about to do the timing cover seal on my '00 5.0 and have never dealt with anything with a crank triggered ignition. Are there any caveats before I pull the harmonic balancer? I'll have the engine at tdc before I do it since I'll change the timing chain...

Yeah it's amazing how something so simple can brighten your day. (Yeah I know, I need to get a life!)

Put it in Friday, works like a champ!

I paid for a repair by one of the people offering the service via this site. "Lifetime" warranty apparently means for the life of the repair. It died after 3 weeks and the "service" would not respond to my e-mails so buyer beware. And no I won't name them. I purchased the dorman...

Yes I did a search and no this one isn't like any of the other idle issues I saw. If I let my '00 eddie bauer 5.0 awd sit and idle long enough the idle will start surging up and then dropping below normal idle speed. If you let it go long enough the surge rpm creeps higher and higher and the...

I should be asking you! You're right it is a great unit but if I have to chose between a new unit and sending it out for "repair" every so often I'll just by a new one. So, where did you send yours? Mine went to fixyourradio.com, which had several good reviews on this board.

Just turned 188k this morning.

Sent my board into the "save my sanity" place, it lasted 2 months and has now died again. For the PITA that removing the radio is I'm just going to install a new aftermarket unit and be done with it. Sure they'll redo it again but don't want to have to pull it and send it back every couple of...

I recently picked up a 2000 Eddie Bauer AWD V8 Explorer and immediately found this forum so I would have a wealth of real world knowledge close at hand. It won't be a mudder, fawder or brudder though. I bought it so the GF would have a vehicle capable of making it through our occassional...
