    4wd Low light is on and now stuck in 4wd Low. Also traction control light is on.

    This worked! Thank you! Installing the radio I must have hit the 4wd Low button somehow. Thanks!

    Well this is a 2007 so everything is push button. Nothing to manually shift. Yea, I don't get that either. None of the wires touch or are spliced together either. 2 complete different harnesses that I'm aware of.

    4wd Low light is on and now stuck in 4wd Low. Also traction control light is on.

    I have a 2007 Sport Track. I just changed the stereo and now the 4wd Low light is on and the car is actually stuck in 4wd Low. If I hit 4wd High button the low light just blinks but doesn't change out of Low. Also traction control light is on. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks!

    Need opinions of 2001 5.0L Explorer

    Thanks guys! Going to look at it today! I'll probably offer a bit less, hopefully he takes. I guess its has a lot of front end work done too (tie rods ect…) My Head gasket (I think) blew on my V-6 Mustang (White smoke everywhere) and I'm screwed. need something quick and a car I can trust. Thanks!

    Need opinions of 2001 5.0L Explorer

    Hello, My car just died and need a replacement quick. I found a 2001 5.0L AWD XLT for $1,600.00 Has 164,000mi Are these normally solid motors that can last 200,000mi? or are they troublesome? I understand it depends on up keep and all that, but under normal circumstances? He said there is a...

    Help! Electrical is all messed up!!

    So... a bit of a story. I had a 15 day for loud exhaust. I spent $400.00 on a new exhaust system. I still heard a lot of rattling, just to find out the timing chains need replacing. I assumed the noise was the bad exhaust... nope. Two days later I lost engine power. I had the car...

    Inconsistent Idle, up and down when cold?

    I'm sure both need to be done. I'll have to look into both of these. It's a SOHC. Thanks!

    Inconsistent Idle, up and down when cold?

    Does anyone know why this might be? Anything under 40 degrees the idle jumps up and down. It doesn't run rough, just up and down. I thought I may have fixed it by replacing the plugs and wires, but it still does the same thing. I have a 98 4.0L. Thanks!

    Shop says they can't do a wheel alignment??

    So you can't adjust the Camber with out this kit?? Why would Ford do that??

    Shop says they can't do a wheel alignment??

    That is interesting. I had the shop look at that stuff and they said it looked good. Maybe I should get a second opinion?

    Shop says they can't do a wheel alignment??

    Took the Explorer in for a wheel alignment and they said they can only adjust the Toe not the Camber? It pulls to one side, that is why I took it in. They said maybe the frame is slightly bent. I guess anything is possible??? Does anyone know if there is issues with Explorers that make...

    Are air shocks stock?

    The shackles themselves or the frame itself that the shackles are mounted too? One nice thing about trucks is that you don't have to jack them up to see underneath them!

    So... what was the conclusion with the roll over issue?

    Well... just as a update... I ordered the rims and tires as a "1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee." They said 35psi. They gave me the 3rd degree anyway... this time instead of tires it was the rim fitment and they are not responsible. I'm always getting a lectured about something.

    So... what was the conclusion with the roll over issue?

    I wonder when the last roll over was? 2001?

    Are air shocks stock?

    What's the price of those? This is a $800.00 car here. :)

    So... what was the conclusion with the roll over issue?

    So as long as I run a tire at proper PSI I'm fine?

    Are air shocks stock?

    This Explorer is actually for my son. It has a million miles and lots of rust. I noticed the back sagged a bit, so I checked out the rear and noticed it has air shocks. Is that stock? Sure looks like they've been there for awhile. If I replace these, do I replace with another set of...

    So... what was the conclusion with the roll over issue?

    I have a 1998 AWD Eddie Bauer Edition. I finally made the decision to buy my 15" Soft 8's with 31x10.5x15 tires online. I made the mistake to mention this was for an Explorer... They called and said... this is for a "Jeep" right?? I said no... and they explained the whole roll over thing...

    1998 Eddie Bauer Rim Size Question?

    15×8 seems to have a -13 offset. Is that correct, 15x7 is a 0 offset?

    1998 Eddie Bauer Rim Size Question?

    That's what I'm running now with no issues, and the person before me drove it from Wisconsin to Arizona with those same tires. Problem is, tire places pretty much force you to get what came stock on the vehicle. So best bet is to buy the tires online and have someone mount them. Costco really...

    1998 Eddie Bauer Rim Size Question?

    Thank You pjtoledo! That's the exact answer I was looking for!! This truck is kind of a beater though... The rims and tires will cost more than the car :) We'll see... Thanks!! Oh... I have 16" 265's on there now... more than enough room to go quite a bit larger actually... especially with...

    1998 Eddie Bauer Rim Size Question?

    Well... I don't see it as a down grade... And the speedo wont be off with the correct size tire. I just prefer the beefier tire look of the 15". 15's are also cheaper with more tire options. Anyone else hear anything about the rim rubbing on the caliper? Maybe that is just on the 1st gens...
