I noticed what sounded like a heat shield rattling on the 04 Explorer, and when I checked it out today, I noticed that the sound appeared to be coming from the right (passenger side) catalytic converter. It looked to be vibrating pretty badly when I had someone put it in drive and put the...

I know what everyone's going to say already, and no, I don't think it's timing chain related. I've been trying to trace this rattle on my dad's '04 Explorer 4.0. After plenty of time poking around with a stethoscope, I believe the noise is coming from the intake manifold. The first place I...

I just picked up a 2001 Mountaineer 5.0 last week, and I made the mistake of replacing the thermostat for preventive maintenance. I figured this was a basic thing to change before flushing the cooling system and changing the leaking upper radiator hose. Nope! First time I put the gasket on with...
