Hello. I am trying to help an elderly friend. He has a 2008 Mountaineer with the 4.0 engine. He tells me the engine overheated and ever since, when the engine gets warm it develops a miss at idle. I looked over the vehicle this weekend and pulled codes. The only code is P0302. When cold, it...

I have been looking at 4th gen Explorers and Mountaineers. Today I found an 06 Mountaineer, 4.0 liter, loaded with leather seats and all the options. I found a coolant leak around the radiator, but couldn't figure out where it was originating from. The dealer will repair the leak and if all goes...

I just test drove an 07 Eddie Bauer. Being a 1st gen owner I found it interesting how I felt right at home in the 07 even though it's quieter and smoother in just about every way. Somehow it still has that "Explorer" feel I guess. The one I'm looking at has the 4.0 V6. How is this newer...

I am seriously thinking about buying a 2007 Eddie Bauer edition. It has 61k miles and appears to be in pretty good shape cosmetically but I have not driven it yet. It has the 4.0 V6. I currently have a 1st Gen Ex that I really like but it has definitely seen better days. I will use the 07 as...

Sure glad I have the Ex today. 10" so far and still coming down.

OK...just when I think I got the Ex all fixed up.... A couple times since I got the truck, I have taken off and had a whine that sounds like it's coming from the rear end. The first two times this happened, and they were at least 700 miles apart, the whine stopped the first time I stopped at...

I have completed the last of the items my Ex needed to be completely roadworthy today by changing the rear shocks. What a difference they made, too. I did the Monroe Sensa-Tracs, but i suppose any shock would've been an improvement since the ones on there appeared to be the factory originals...

Today's repair adventure is a tale of both kinds of luck. Started on passenger side where I had play in the wheel and figured the bearings might be bad. Took it all apart and found the bearings and races were fine (good luck). It seems that the previous owner must've installed new bearings and...

I have a strange problem with my 94. This only happens when I start out with the vehicle cold. It will start out fine, but the first time I stop, when I pressthe gas to start out again, it will have almost no power. Once it makes it about 100 yards or so, boom back to normal and it will be fine...

I was checking codes today. This connector is next to the test harness. I thought at first it was the power one so I popped the cap off it, which promptly flew down into the frame...somewhere. I don't know if this was an unused connector or if the cap was actually a fuse or something, kinda...

This is how my 94 Explorer looks as I got it. The whitewall tires will be the first thing to go! Not bad for under a thousand bucks, though. I don't plan to invest a lot of $$ into it, just fixing up those things that it needs to be fully functional again.

I completed a few of the needed things on my 1994 Explorer today. Replaced both outer tie rod ends and had it aligned. Then replaced the front brake pads, which, as you can easily see, were very much in need of replacement: Next...EGR valve and tube. And I think I have a bad hub on the...

Hello all. New member from MN. I just became the owner of a 94 Explorer for no good reason. Just happened that this vehicle has been in the family for years and I guess it's my turn to have it for a while. It's in basically good shape, but needs an EGR tube, front brake pads, and maybe a few...
