They isolated the problem to the left side and found out that the hub and bearing assembly was old and loose. When stopping, the hubs and bearings would shake, causing the ABS to misfire, which caused the breaking problem. After they replaced the front left hub and bearing assembly, the problem...

Thanks for the input donner. I am going to take it to a Ford dealer instead. At least they will know exactly what the problem is even though it may be more expensive. The car breaks normally for 90% of the stop; in the final 10% of the breaking, the car shudders to a stop, and the pedal...

So I have had a problem with breaking for the past couple days. The initial breaking is fine but in the last few feet of stopping, the ABS goes crazy and I have to push on the breaks extra hard to stop the car. There is a weird whirring noise in front of the steering wheel in conjuction with the...

Do I need to use friction modifier if I want to put mobil1 75W-90 in the real differential? Thanks

I have Bridgestone Deuler AT tires and for some reason was convinced to put the white lettering towards the inside of the car. I am now dreading my decision and want the white lettering on the tire to be shown on the outside. I found out that to unmount all 4 tires and balance them again it...

I am basically asking if anyone who has a 2000 explorer has done their own chassis greasing, if this is possible, and if so, what parts can be greased? Thanks

I want to grease as many parts on my car as possible. I was just wondering which parts have grease fittings to grease and which parts you guys usually grease when you do it yourself? Thanks -Ben

Ok I was riding in my friends jeep grand cherokee the other day and her ride was one of the most comfortable rides I have had in an SUV. My car just hit 65K miles and still have the stock shocks on it. I am looking for a similar smooth ride as I don't really go off roading. I am also a student...

I have a 2000 XLS 4.0L V6 SOHC and Amsoil recommends 75W-90 in the rear differential, but the haynes manual says 75W-140. Can I use the 75W-90? Are there any negatives to it? Also will i need the limited slip additive as well? Thanks

Need help choosing a new oil filter. The store near me has: Mobil1 K&N AC Delco STP Motorcraft BOSCH thanks

I am looking to put on new shocks in the front and rear and was wondering if anyone has used the Explorer Pro Comp shocks (ES9000 and ES3000). Are they any good. Thanks

Does anyone know a good junk yard in northern NJ or close by that has a good amount of explorers. Thanks

I found my best gains on after the 2nd or 3rd tank

Yeah getting the pan off wasn't hard at all. It won't drop straight down, so you need to undo all of the bolts except for the sid closest to the front and let it hinge downward, letting most of it out. Then you can slide it out toward the drivers side and pull it down. Not hard at all. I did it...

go under the pasanger side bumper area and look up. you should see two lines coming from the rear of the car. As the two metal hard line come up to the front one of them turns toward the driver side and enters the radiator (I think the top). This is the FROM tranny line. The other line (RETURN...

Yea running Mercon III might be a problem in a tranny that needs Mercon V. I don't know why they filled it with Merocn II when the dipstick obviously says ONLY Mercon V. I would flush it out and replace with Mercon V. I use Castrol semi-synthetic. I don;t have a towing package on my XLS but yet...

Hi joshfig - I have a 2000 XLS as well. first of all you should drop the pan to replace the filter before doing a flush. There are several threads around here on this topic. Secondly, we do have secondary cooler which is found behind the grille in fron of the radiator. The coolant lines run from...

I was wondering if it is possible to install an overhead console in a 2000 explorer? Also, is it easier to install an overhead console or a message center. Finally, which sensors will the overhead console allow me to view (i.e. miles to empty,range, MPG, etc. Thanks

yea, I did

I use a motorcraft filter with my mobil 1 15K oil. Works great for me. Just remember to change the filter every 3 or 4k miles and put in another quart of oil.

MONMIX, can you tell me what part number that crankcase breather is and what are it's benefits. Thanks.

jimcom, I also have a 2000 XLS...we have 21 gallon tanks

yeah that's where I got the idea. I saw an auction ebay about a guy selling an inline transmission filter and looked exactly like an oversized fuel filter. That's why i asked
