Just so you guys are aware trust me I know about the possibility of running out of gas when you are parked up an incline. The problem is even after this happened I pushed it to flat ground and it still didn't make a difference. Perhaps it was just so low that rocking it back and forth off...

The needle on the gauge was just above E, but I had the AC running and of course it will be eating more gas that way. The rear end was pointing up toward the hill. It wasn't even really a hill I guess to be honest it was just an incline in a parking lot. I just wanted to state any info that...

Thanks for the advice guys. I know how to work on vehicles and am pretty good at figuring out problems. The issue is I just moved out of my home town and right now I basically left my friend's shops and have no tools to work on the vehicle myself at this time. I have another vehicle I drive so...

Hey guys, yesterday my 2000 xlt acted up on me. It was hot outside and I was running it in idle with ac going and parked up a hill. I ran it for about a half hour but the temp gauge never got hot. The issue is it eventually sputtered and quit. I tried starting it for over 15 minutes and it would...

Ok guys thanks. I meant my 2000 has a better ride not worse. The accelaration in the sohc is more ballsy then the 95 and the interior just seemed to rattle more in the older one. My buddy said the 98-2001 were nicer that's why I got confused.

Hey guys another question I have a choice if I want to trade my 2000 ex for a 95 one. I like it better cause of the color and it doesn't have as much electronic gizmos in the doors and instrument cluster. My question is do the 95s ride better or worse than the newer gen II ones. I swear mine...

Just an update guys I got the brake issue resolved. Turned out the brake pads were installed backwards on the pass side and had to replace the rotor in the process. Guy meant well but is clearly a dumbass.

Hey guys I unfortunately don't know everything he did cause I was at work. I assume he did the necessary procedure and broke the brakes in before driving off but I haven't spoke to him yet. Someone told me that my rear rotors are rusted and since those weren't replaced the new brake pads are...

Hey guys I had to replace the pads both front and rear on my ex. I had my buddy do them, and noticed immediate brake difference. The bad thing is the brakes always seem slightly applied when driving, coasting to a stop is quicker, they make rubbing noise when moving from a dead stop. There's...

Hey everyone I picked up a 95 explorer. Not sure what trim it is but I have a few interior swaps I wanna do. I have this awful set-up I want to go to this. The good news is I have a 2000 with this set up that I can swap parts with so I don't have to hit the junk yards. Is...

So I found out by a shop that scanned the truck both the back doors and the hatch are saying they aren't closed. Wonderful so where do I go from here do I just replace the latches and that should fix them?

The door ajar bulb is out but the dome lights sometimes come on when it's driving so I know it's a bad door.

Update: Okay guys I give up, I drowned both front door latches and the handles with wd40. The rear hatch inside where the glass closes etc. I checked the wires in the rubber boots and they all checked out ok. The only thing I noticed is the back driver's side door doesn't chime when the...

Mine has had the death rattle for about 4 years. 215k on the clock, rattles at start up and driving. At this point I'm just waiting for it to die but so far the engine doesn't miss a beat.

Door ajar beeping when driving Hey guys my dad's ex doesn't shut up when you take off from a dead stop. It beeps like crazy which I assume is a faulty door sensor. I already looked at the one in the hatch and disconnected it but it still won't stop. I'm pretty sure it's the passenger side front...

Hey guys today my radio has started switching dual play on and off. When this happens the sound cuts off and comes back on. It says on the display dual play on, than cuts out and says it's off. Everything on the radio works even the display so I don't get what's going on. Is my radio on it's way...

Hey guys, I bought a pack of phillips x-treme vision bulbs to replace my pathetic stock ones. I noticed the low beams still aren't that much brighter but the high beams are. My lenses are clouded because it's hard to see inside there, wondering if that's my problem or if the lights need to be aimed?

Chiming in here just to say it's very common to have lock problems with the doors. Ford is the culprit, because of their design flaws allowing water to seep inside and seize em over time.

This isn't new to me, as it was doing this last year but ever since I replaced my intake gaskets the rpms when idled on a cold engine act up. Instead of staying at 700 or 800 they go up to about 1100 and stay that way for a minute. If I give it gas it will clear up and drop below 600 and almost...

There's no way to predict when the engine would need to be rebuilt, but no reason to think the sand in the hour glass is running out. These trucks see well past 250+ even the v6s.

Wow this is why insurance companies piss me off. There's like nothing wrong with that vehicle, and the body on it looks in amazing shape. Unreal.

Keep her, I have a sohc v6 and going strong at 202,000 miles. I still would trust it to run a long time. You will end up pissing that cash you saved into a different car.

I just wasn't sure if the needle went below that red line or if it stopped there.

Hey guys always been curious about the fuel gauges on these trucks. The red line next to E. Does the needle go below that when you are almost empty? I go in panic mode when it's that low my 'check gauge' light doesn't come on, and I was told it does when you're real low. I don't like to take my...
