There's some hoses off the air intake and I think my mechanic mis-routed one. I might have to start going to a different shop. They previously screwed up the PCV and I had to return and show them diagrams and get them to do it correctly. My truck is running rough, and I think they have a hose...

Local auction, and I might be able to get one for about $600. It appears in 6 or 7 out of 10 cosmetics, but the reverse hesitates. 195,000 miles on this girl. I know the transmission is a weak spot on these. I own a 98 4.0 SOHC that I like overall. For low money I'd pick up a GOOD RELIABLE...

I have 3 Fords (no ATF drain plugs). Rather than trying to drop the pan, and deal with that hassle and mess, I opted to buy and try a Mityvac fluid extractor. Here's my report. The $100 extractor was an incredible value. It extracted 4.1 liters from each of my Ford Crown Vic cars and 2.6L...

Just received this deal from Rock Auto and maybe it can help someone. A lot of closeout parts. I have zero affiliation. https://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclefeeds.php?carcode=1304413&m=wc&l=en&html=true

I recently bought this really nice Explorer. It's a 1998 Sport 2wd and cosmetically it looks fantastic and is rust free, and overall I'd rate it about a 7 our 8 out of 10 for attractiveness and mechanical. Steering, brakes, transmission, etc. all feel strong. Everything important works...

Oddly, I searched and saw only minor reference to this sorta big deal that impacts this era 5.0L (and maybe, it's unclear) 4.0L Explorers. But not the 2001s. Read the TSB. It's very difficult to interpret about the 4.0L Explorers. Ford's Technical Service Bulletin states that a lot of...

I've got a 98 Ford Explorer with the 4.0L SOHC V6. My Vin has an "E" as the 8th letter. A job that should be easy and quick took over 2 hours last night. It's my fault I did not label the plug wires (which should be color coded or numbered or something anyway). User error. I probably should...

I recently purchased a well loved high mileage 98 Explorer sport with 4.0 SOHC. It has failed emissions, which wasn't a total surprise. So I've begun my tinkering mission to do some maintenance. Please allow me to vent, as it will make my day much better... Keep in mind I'm not a...

Okay, after a full hour of looking, trying different options, reading owners manual, and hunting thru posts, I give up. There is no obvious button anywhere near where the rotating headlight knob is. And pulling out does nothing. The lever on the steering column switches between high and low...

Hi, I'm, obviously, new here. Greetings and salutations. I just won a gorgeous well maintained 4.0 SOHC 1998 Explorer (200,000 miles) at auction dirt cheap. I cannot believe how cheap it was. I did an inspection myself and it looks, runs, and appears excellent and babied. I did a personal...
