    Torsion Bar Adjsutment... Screw not touching??

    Really dumb question, but is it OK if the adjustment screw doesn't even touch the torsion bar??.. Mine is stock, and I have not reason to change it, but for some reason, I think the one side has the adjuster backed off a little to not even touch the bar.. Or is the level adjusted atfactory...

    Fuse for Rear Window Defroster??

    For the life of me, I can't find the fuse for the rear window defroster.. No reference to it in the owner's manual diagram... It's an '00 XLT Dealer replaced the rear hatch and I think that's when it stopped working. Haven't put a meter on it yet, wanted to check the fuse first. Let me...

    Just a little lift in the Rear?

    Looking to level out (or make it higher than the front), my '00 XLT sport (4-door, 4 x 4) as it's got that slight sagging look (like the front springs were made for the V8 weight and I only have the V6!).. Anyways, I've read that to get 2 1/2 to 3 inches higher in the rear, many people have...

    ABS Light 2000 XLT

    I've search through multiple posts and it seems the light staying on has (in most cases) been the sensor in the rear axle and it's like a $13 part.. Is it the same part for a 2000? I got mixed info from a guy at the parts counter (at a parts store) that it's like $80 from the dealer and it...

    Heater Core - 2000 XLT

    I've searched the threads and found that replacing the heater core in explorers is relatively easy (as compared to other cars).. Does anyone know if 2000 models are exactly the same procedure as earlier 90's (the one's most people are replacing..) I need to tackle mine shorty and the...

    Replacement Suggestions??

    I'm looking for what people are suggesting for the replacement tires.. I ride 90% freeway, so I'm looking for a quiet highway tire. Never go off road and snow/ice occasionally... I know a person that went with the Michelin LTX M/S and I see the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S on many other...

    Kinder, Softer Ride Suggestions

    Just looking for some general suspension tips to soften the ride on my 2000 XLT a bit (4 door, sport pkg with 16" Tires). Just want to make the traditional "truck ride" a bit easier. I do mainly freeway driving, but in the city it can be brutal at times... Any suggestions on new shocks and...

    2000 Excursion CD Changer in Explorer??

    Does anyone know if the CD Changer in a 2000 Excursion is the same as the one that goes in the Explorer? (Or where I can find out?).. I'm working on getting the part number to see if a dealer can tell me if it's the same, but thought I'd ask here.. I guess the big concern would be where the...

    '95 Changer in a '99??

    Does anyone know if a changer from a '95 will plug right into a 99 radio? I don't know if there were any changes in them from year to year.. It's the radio with the cassette and CD with the CD controls.. (This is obviously using the wiring harness either from Ford or aftermarket)...
