Is it part number F8SB-15607-AC? Like the one in the picture below? I took my steering column covers off, and noticed the little green plug at the top of the black housing was a little messed up. I'm wondering if that is causing issues with the signals.

Hello everybody. Was hoping someone here could help me out. I have a 1999 Explorer Sport, with 180K on it. It's just a beater that gets me to and from work. It is a 5-speed stick. Recently, I started having issues from time to time with starting it. I will put in the key, turn it to the...

Roman, Thanks for the info. I looked under the Explorer just now. It looks very similar to my Ranger, but a little different. Probably because my Ranger was 4wd and my Explorer is 2wd. I was also looking at the spring-over-axel conversions, pretty good bang-for-your-buck when you buy the kits...

So I am daily driving a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport with the 4.0L OHV motor (if I recall correctly). It is pushing 175k, and still runs great. It also has the 5-speed stick. It is a 2WD model. As of right now, it is all stock. It is actually pretty fun to drive, and has allot of pep to it. I've...

I just did shocks lol. They were the factory ones on there with 170k on them. Rode like crap. Much better now with the fresh ones.

So last night I did a little overhaul on my '99 Explorer Sport. New brakes (all 4 corners), new wheel bearings for the front, new shocks (all 4 corners) and replaced the sway-bar links just cause. Front brakes were gone, rotors warped and grooved. Back brakes were shot too and the emergency...

Well, last night was a doosie. Had major thunderstorms in the area. Went out this morning and explorer didn't want to start. Had to get a ride from the wife. :( On the way home, I picked up the switch from the local auto parts store. Got home and put it in. First try, started fine. YAY! :D...

I bought a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport to drive as a work-beater while the wife gets to drive the nicer Escape. Been having some issues recently with the Explorer not starting. The Explorer is a 5-speed stick, with the overhead valve V6, and roughly 170,000 on it. It runs and drives great, just...

Thanks for the tips. I order a set of sway bar links, easy and cheap enough to replace as preventative maintenance. The only other minor issue I know of right now is that the temperature gauge doesn't work. I haven't really dug into that yet, but I will this weekend when I start cleaning the...

Well, I was wrong. Turns out I have the OHV motor. Checked it out when I got home tonight.

Yes, you are correct, I am able to go through it and fix anything that needs attention. It is the things that need "additional" attention that I was looking for. It is the single overhead cam motor if I recall correctly. I will do a little research on the timing chain issues you mentioned. Thanks

Hello all! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nick, and I am 25 years old. Just recently picked up a 1999 Explorer Sport to use as a daily driver. Little background on me. My dad has been a mechanic for his whole life, and is currently a Master Tech for Nissan (many years of schooling...

Hello all! First, let me introduce myself. My name is Nick, and I live in Connecticut. I am 25 years old, and currently drive a stock 2009 Ford Escape Sport. I also have a 1980 Ford Pinto that was my fathers, which I take to shows and out for rides when the weather is nice. My father is a...
