I wrecked my '99 and traded my '98, so I'm wondering which Explorers should look at and which should I avoid. There's an '06 4.0 XLT rwd with 100k nearby, what should search to know what to look for? Thanks

Sorry duplicate.

How come the Advance promo ad at the top of this page says 25% 0ff on Shocks, but when you apply the promo code it figures only 15% off? Does Advance think we're stupid? What's up with that?

I searched for ways to clear up dull headlight lenses but didn't find anything. Please tell me what to search for or what is the best/easiest fix for the cloudy lens problem. TIA

My son's '97 4.0 ohv 4wd X w/145k failed to start yesterday. It would crank but not start. He waited a couple of hours and tried again and it fired right up. Today he got up early and drove 150 miles back to town. Later in the day, it stalled while idling at a light and wouldn't restart...

Since my O/D light has flashed one day then quit flashing, I'm wondering what I can do to stave off a catastrophe. I changed the filter and fluid a few weeks before it started flashing. Should I add a trans additive? Should I add a trans fluid cooler? Or should I just start saving for the...

After arriving in town yesterday after 2 hours on the highway, the O/D light started blinking on my son's '97 4.0 ohv 4wd xlt. It continued blinking the rest of the day, but it's not blinking today. He says the truck still seems to drive normally and the O/D button still controls the...

The O/D light just started blinking on my '97 4wd 4.0 OHV. I know this indicates a tranny problem. Does this throw a code I can have read?

Is it worth the difference? Actually it's only about $2 more for the 5 qt. jug, but does it offer anything? Do you extend your change periods? Thanks

Are any better than the others? I've thought that STP anything was marketing junk and that K&N was overpriced hype. So what do you recommend? Thanks.

Is the canister purge valve the same as the canister purge solenoid the same as the canister purge flow sensor? Are all of theses just different names for the same thing? I'm getting a P0455 cel and the advice on this site is to check this part. And where is it on my '97 X? Under the right...

I'm getting ready to try the cheapo iPod adapter install on my '97 X. This is the one where I splice in a 3.5mm plug into the cd audio outs to the head unit. Has anyone done this? My question is where is the best place to do the splice? At the cd changer? At the head unit? In between...

The cigarette lighter socket on the dash of my '97 quit. I haven't even had time to check the fuse yet. Besides the fuse blowing and the socket falling back into the dash, are there other common problems? TIA

I got a second P0455 engine code. I got one a couple weeks ago and cleared it to see if it would come back. The advice here is to check the evap system; evap solenoid, canister, hoses, etc. This may be a DAQ, but is the evap solenoid the same as the canister purge solenoid the same as the...

I'm getting an engine code about an evap system leak. So I'm going to clear the code, get a new gas cap, and see what happens. Has anyone used the instant fill caps? Do they pose any problems? Thanks.

The drivers door speaker on my '97 XLT works fine most of the time, but every now and then it will get buzzy or cut out all together. If it just cut in and out, I would suspect a bad wire. Since it gets buzzy, I'm wondering if it is a problem with the speaker itself. This is an aftermarket...

AutoZone.

Is there anyone here on 4Runner.org? No, I'm not trying to start a fight, but I am trying to get on their site. PM me if you don't want to post. I wrecked my '99 XLS and my son's '97 4.0 XLT has 149k miles, a flashing O/D light, and clanking front end. It's not wasted, but I am thinking...

The O/D light started flashing on my '97 OHV 4.0 4x4. I reset it and plan to change the trans fluid and add a cooler. What cooler set up do you recommend? Generally I see a cooler in front of the A/C condensing coil in front of the radiator. But it seems to me that this set up just puts the...

The Check Engine Light on my son's '97 OHV 4.0 came on about 6 weeks ago then went out a day or two later before we checked it. It did it again earlier this week. It passed the NC safety inspection with no problems, so it must not be storing any codes. Is there anything we can do except try...

I've searched but didn't find my answer. Please tell me what to search. The inner latches on my '97 XLT don't open the doors, but the outer latches do. It's like the baby lock are on. I've replaced the plastic handle mechanisms with Ford parts (the ebay parts I tried first were crap)...

My wife's new job will take her around the state for the next 18-24 months and I want to get her a GPS. I'm inclined to get the $79 special, but I'm afraid it's a pos that is hard to use. What do you recommend? Thanks.

The horns died on my '97 died. Does anyone have a truck they are parting? Thanks.

I searched but didn't find this discussed. The back up light on the passenger's side of my '97 XLT is full of water. My son has been driving it so I haven't had a chance to look into, so to speak. I imagine when I do, I'll find that a bad gasket is allowing rain to seep in. Any advice?

I'm looking to replace the X I wrecked last year and was wondering about the SOHC engine. Is there a production date after which they are good engines? If one has been repaired correctly with the right parts, is it good for the duration or is it liable to fail again? I would really rather...
