    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

    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...

    I’m trying to figure out which oem transmission filter fits my 1999 Ford Explorer XLT V6 4.0l AT.

    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

    I have a 1999 explorer and the heat and AC vents are only blowing at about 50%. I’ve checked the door actuator thing behind the glove compartment along with a bunch of vacuum lines and everything is ok. Also tried replacing the electrical unit located behind the switch that controls locations of...

    1999 explorer fan blower problem

    A while ago my fan blower quit working and only worked on high speed. Recently, the highest speed quit working as well. I've done some research and narrowed it down to a few possible factors that may be wrong such as resistor, fuses, or the blower motor itself. Can anyone help pinpoint the...

    1999 explorer thermostat housing trouble

    So I'm replacing the thermostat housing and decided to go with Dorman instead of paying $400 at Ford. I've already had three different housing from Dorman and found that all seemed to be defective. The 3/8" pipe bushing is loose in the housing. Is this OK? Perhaps there is an o-ring under...
