I have a '98 4.0l ohv with about 200k on the clock. This truck has always been bullet proof, that is until I let my kid start driving it to school in January. The lights have been left on three times and this last time (about two weeks ago) the battery finally gave up the ghost....if you tried...

1998 Explorer 4.0 OHV So, a couple of days ago my kid left his lights on while at school, of course when he came out...car was dead. The school has a jump pak and the car started right up, but would die as soon as the jump pak was removed...so I assumed he killed the battery(2008). So I bought...

Just finished changing out my fuel filter on the '98 4.0 OHV. What a PITA! First off I bought a set of those plastic quick disconnects.....total waste of money! I could not get enough leverage on the plastic "ears" to get them under the locking device, they just bent and then finally broke. I...

What is the proper fuel pressure for my '98 4.0 OHV? Went to auto parts store and rented a test kit...my pressure was 28 ~ 30 psi both before and after changing my filter. Just seems a little low to me. Car was running fine beforehand (just routine maintenance)....I'd swear it runs better (much...

I have a '98 XL OHV with no "power" anything. Seems I have a droopie turn signal stalk (still works ok)and the auto-cancel feature is not working.....so the question is, how difficult is it to get the steering wheel off? I don't want to set the airbag off, and I'm unsure how to get to the...

Looking for some help here.... I have a '98 Explorer base model (XL?)....this car is so base model it doesn't even have power windows! What I need is a drivers side arm rest/door pull, somehow the P.O. destroyed the arm rest on the drivers side front AND the passengers side rear! I have visited...

I'm looking for the correct lifting and jacking points for my '98 V6 OHV 4WD Explorer? Where should I place my floor jack and jackstands? I have currently used the rear "pumpkin" and the center suspension brace....where is the best place to set the jackstands? Thanks

Looking for some alternative sources for some interior parts....I'm looking for arm rests/door pulls for a '98 Explorer with roll up windows. All of the Junk Yards around here are filled to the gills with Explorers, but I have yet to come across any with roll up windows (Absolutely every car has...

Was difficult to open yesterday, but now won't budge! Cable seems to be working fine - check Forcefully pressing on hood while inside latch is opened and closed = nothing - check Using pry bar to force hood up while working inside latch = nothing - check Saw "Sticky" on main page, but as I...

Are Explorers wired for every option? I have an absolute base model '98 with no options, just a radio...are all the connectors there for power seats, windows, locks, and the like? My interior is pretty beat up and I have a line on some nice condition '00 power leather seats...if I can just...

My question is, how difficult is it to replace fuel injectors on a '98 4.0 OHV engine? Is anyone familiar with a write up? Any special procedures I should know? Any common mistakes? Thanks Pat

Hey to all, new guy here from WI and I'm hoping to get some input to help me make an informed decision. I have the opportunity to take possession of one of two Explorers...free of charge! Can't take both, as which ever I pass on will be donated. The first is a '98 base model V6 OHV with about...
