Appears the need may be near to replace the gaskets on my '98 SOHC. Can someone reveal the secret to removing the rear lower mtg bolt (the one next to the firewall and a/c-heater box)? Was at the local U Pull and thought I'd get the lay of the land (sort to speak) in removing the valve covers...

I recently came across a '99 XLT SOHC Explorer brought in to the local JY. In the glove box was a packet of service receipts one of the previous owners kept for service at a supposedly well-regarded (according to customer reviews) family owned service shop here in the Twin Cities. Being a...

Here's a new one for me...was at the local U Pull when they brought in a red 2001 (11/00 build date) 4-dr XLT. Looked like any other until I looked inside and the black leather seats had "Heritage Edition" stitched in red lettering on the seat backs (think Eddie Bauer and Limited style...

In my effort to determine my options with my ignition key issue posted on another thread, I've been trying to understand exactly how PATS works among the various integral components; i.e. chip key, transceiver ring, control module and PCM. Digging thru old threads on here seems to confirm few...

I bought my '98 XLT 8 yrs ago and it came with one ignition key. Dealership wanted another $150 to cut/program another one and so I declined thinking I could get one later for much less. Anyway, I soon discovered that I wasn't able to move the key to the Accessory position. It entered my mind...

So, I'm at the local U Pull yard and a '96 Limited shows up with mint leather seats. Seeing how I'm bored with the mundane light tan interior and cloth seats in my '98, I'm thinking these would really liven things up inside. So, they came home with me and now I'm wondering what it would take...

Was someone on here looking for hard-to-find Dark Blue interior trim pcs some months ago? I was at the local JY this weekend and there was a new arrival that had it. Contact me if interested in anything.

I just had the pleasure of replacing the a/c compressor clutch hub and pulley on my '04 Sable DOHC engine when the brg started howling. A/C still worked and got lucky that I caught it before the compressor was damaged...so, it wasn't necessary to evacuate the system and remove the compressor...

I have developed a small coolant leak around the newly installed t-stat upper housing (actually, the entire thermostat housing is newer). Everything seemed good for a few wks and maybe 750 miles. Now, I'm seeing same 'ol leaking problem; except this time it's also around the lip where the...

I've spent the past couple of wks trying to pinpoint exactly why my truck won't disengage from 4WHigh when dash switch is in Auto. I've read so many posts on this site regarding this problem with these trucks that my eyes have begun to cross. Get no blinking dash lights (unless I disconnect...

Just joined the forum...but, have visited it often when searching for answers for my Explorer repairs. What's got me baffled right now is that I can't get the truck out of 4WD. When using the dash switch, you can hear it shift into 4WDLow and into 4WDhigh with accompanying dash lights...but...
