Hey guys, I have a '01 Explorer Sport with a 5.0 out of a 2001 Explorer that I swapped in over this summer. I really wanted to put a cam/springs/pushrods in it when I rebuilt the engine but I needed it back on the road to pull my trailer around so ended up going the stock route. Now it is going...

Hey all. Today was the day I finally decided to go to the junkyard and find a new pair of cruise control buttons for my 2001 explorer sport. This will work for 2001-2003 explorer sport, 2001-2005 sport trac, 1999-2003 ranger. It may also work for some of the four door explorers but I am not sure...

Hey guys. I own and explorer but my friend was looking at lowering his 1998 2wd ranger about 2-3 inches. So far we have done some research, but I was just double checking if what we were going to do was correct. We were going to just cut the front springs and do a shackle flip on the rear. I...

Hey explorerforum. I know basic wiring but I am trying to stay on the safe side and get opinion on the safest way. I have been forum hopping to see if anybody has done this but haven't found any useful info. My current fog lights do not work because of what I am told "a bad fog light design"...

My trim on my Ex fell off today. I knew it would eventually but now the time has come to fix it. I need help though. My plan is: Go to the local junkyard and cut off a non-rusty rocker panel (If I can find one I live in Illinois) Cut off my rocker panel and weld the new one on. (Or I could find...

Does anybody know if a 2001 Explorer or 2001 Explorer Sport Trac uses the same suspension parts as a 2001 Explorer Sport? I ask because nobody makes aftermarket parts for the Sport and I would like air ride. I was wondering if I could buy a 2001 Explorer air ride kit an put it on my 2001 Sport...

Hey all. I was just thinking about the reliability of my car and what has happened through the years and I noticed something. A lot of my sensors have gone bad. Currently I have a bad fuel cap sensor, door sensor, coolant temp sensor, and I had a bad ABS sensor. I almost forgot, like most Ex...

So a hail storm went through here about a month ago and ruined all my lights and basically the whole car. I had to buy new headlights and taillights so I thought why not take the old ones apart and see what I can do. So I did this: I bought some red halos off ebay and put them in and painted...

I have a WH1E Holset turbo. I didn't plan on putting it in my '01 Sport but I thought, why not? I know how to set it up but I didn't know if my engine could support this turbo so I googled the manual. In the manual it says: "Exhaust systems must be capable of operating at exhaust back pressures...

Hey guys. A hail storm came through and broke all my headlights and tail lights. So far I replaced them all but the 3rd brake light on the top of my tailgate. I have no idea whatsoever on how to remove it. I have done about everything to find a way on how to get it out. I opened the tailgate...

Hey guys. A hail storm recently came through around here and my explorer was totaled. They gave me $4000 after buying the car back from them and got the hail damage fixed for $1000. Now I'm thinking of blowing the $3000 on a V8 swap since my car already gets about 12 MPG. I was wondering if...

Hey guys. I have been wanting to do this for awhile now but can't seem to find what this piece is called. I want to re-route my exhaust to go out the side, where the plastic trim is. Obviously the heat will melt it so I need to put this metal "flange" piece there to reduce the heat. (Also some...

Hey all. I was wondering if anybody could show me some clear corner lens for my 01 sport. I can't seem to find any online for my car. I don't know if the Explorer Sport Trac and the regular Explorer Sport corner lens are the same, otherwise I would just get a set of the sport trac clear corner...

Hey everybody. Recently my 2001 (It's the 3rd gen that's why I'm here) explorer sport's engine light turned on. I scanned it and got these codes: B1371 | Illuminated Entry Relay Coil Fault B1352 | Ignition Key-In Circuit Fault I have been trying to search on what these codes are and so...

I currently have an almost base model (except for towing package) 2001 explorer sport and they come with really terrible seats. I found a totaled same year and model explorer sport with the better driver seats with headrests that this guy is parting out. My question is will these better seats...

Hey guys I'm having a little problem. I have two black ford emblems I would like to put on my '01 Explorer sport but I can't seem to get the old emblems off. The emblem on the rear is pushed in flush with the trim on the tailgate, and the one in the front seems like it is part of the grille...

Hey guys, I've had my '01 sport since 2008 and I've been here quite a lot so I decided to join. Here's my explorer with the typical sport sag in the rear.
