    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!

    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!

    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...

    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?

    Hello, I have a 1998 Eddie Bauer Edition with 16" Wheels. I have read once that 15" Wheels will not work because the rim will rub on the caliper with the Eddie Bauer Edition only. Is this true? The old tires on there now has 265/70/16's on all 4. I bought it this way . These rims are old...
