    How long have you had it? Is it the TYC 2173? Also, did it come with new o-rings as well?

    Radiator replacement-which brand

    Good deal. Hoping that one purchased on ebay would come with the orings. I've purchased a tranny filter in the past on ebay to find the orings missing. Not always the most reliable sellers.

    Good to know. Just found those on ebay for only $105. Also want to ask which orings/seals need to be replaced for the job and how you acquire them?

    Radiator replacement-which brand

    I'm getting my 1999 Ford Explorer 4l v6 for sale and just realized a small crack on the top of the radiator seam. I'm thinking about replacing it with a new aftermarket radiator and was wondering what brands are functional? Obviously I'm not looking for something top-notch as the car has 280k...

    Electrical plug needs to be replaced

    Thanks for all the responses guys! I’ve already found knock sensor on ebay using the oem part # provided by Donald but it looks like it only comes with female connector. Looking at the first pic I need the male connector as you can see how the wiring has been patch with electrical tape.

    Electrical plug needs to be replaced

    I recently replaced my thermostat housing on my 1999 Ford Explorer and during the process some of the insulation on one of the electrical plug wiring came off. I believe the wiring may be associated with the fuel injectors. I’ve temporarily fixed the issue by wrapping each of the wires with...

    Thanks! Wouldn’t be surprised if the dealer would snake up towards $1k to tackle a job like that!

    1999 explorer thermostat housing replacement trouble

    Ended up removing that third bolt and getting that housing out of there! Was able to removing one of those electrical plugs in the housing which gave enough room to get in there. Overall this wasn't your average backyard mechanic job!

    1999 explorer thermostat housing replacement trouble

    I'm currently in the process of replacing the thermostat housing on my 4.0l sohc. I've already dismounted the electrical plugs and top piece elbow that has the hose coming into it. I've run into trouble trying to dismount the main body of the thermostat house. I can reach the front two bolts but...

    Thermostat housing leak

    the one on eBay is for 01-11 and I have a 1999 which says not compatible in the ad. Also tried Amazon and google without any luck. Has anyone had good luck with Osias or other aluminum rands on eBay. Says they offer 2 year warranty.

    Ok I think you guys have me sold on an aluminum one. Is there a specific brand you recommend? Just went on eBay to find several and have no idea what to get or stay away from.

    Thermostat housing leak

    I have a 1999 explorer 4.0l that has been loosing coolant. I recently noticed a small leak around the thermostat housing as shown in the pic. My question is should I try replacing oring or just replace the entire kit? The current thermostat is the second replacement.

    OEM part number for transmission filter

    Yes! And they sell parts that have missing items from the box(gaskets,orings,ect). Sometimes I wonder if they intentionally sell you the wrong part just to offload the dead stock they’ve been sitting on. Considering just ordering the filter from the dealer. Rather spend extra to avoid having a...

    OEM part number for transmission filter

    I’m trying to figure out which oem transmission filter fits my 1999 Ford Explorer XLT V6 4.0l AT. I’ve used multiple oem parts sites for reference and I’ve seen 2 different filters they claim work for my model. One of the part numbers is XL2Z7A098DA and the other is F6AZ7A098A. I’m starting to...

    1999 Explorer Air conditioner not blowing cold

    My 1999 Explorer AC will not blow cold air. I recently did a recharge but it seems to only blow cool for the first few minutes after the car is started. In the past I could always hear the AC compressing or clutch constantly clicking but now it doesn’t seem to click at all. I wonder if the...

    Heat and AC vents restricted weak airflow

    yep it turned out the evaporator was clogged with hair and gunk that mice brought in. There was an entire layer that coated the unit. Removed what I could with a wire brush and vacuum then sprayed an entire can of cleaner. Now my fan blows fine! Thanks for the help guys!

    Heat and AC vents restricted weak airflow

    thanks for the advice! Thinking about replacing the seal for the blower motor so I’ll clean the evaporator housing while I have it apart. Just saw a video on YouTube and it looks pretty easy.
