I appreciate your help. Maybe it's time to let it go. This is the part# f87z-9b659-fb

End of the air intake tube cracked at the throttle body. Can't find replacement. Is a junkyard my only hope?

Thanks, I appreciate your informative reply. If I can't find info on how to mickey mouse it with a strap or webbing I'll have to bite the bullet and do it right.

Hi, Looking for an easy fix for the infamous seat reclining lever. Savage Wolf posted on an old thread that he had use climbing webbing for an easy fix but there were no pics. Does anyone have any pics that would help me?

Turkey baster it is. Thanks for the info.

Thanks!

Going to use the turkey baster to change out the power steering fluid. Since Mercon is no longer made, is it safe to use Mercon V or is a Dex/Mercon the better choice?

Thanks.

My front pads are at 50%. Rears at 10%. I'm on a budget so need to know who makes decent parts and which manufacturer I should avoid.

1997 Explorer, SOHC, 4WD needs rear rotors & pads. Need recommendation for good quality rotors and pads. I can save some $ at NAPA through a buddy. Any opinions about Motorcraft? Part # would be great.

Thanks all. I'll drop it when it warms up and lube the cable. I had to replace it once.

When I got my Explorer in 1997 the spare tire was oriented with the outside of the rim facing up. When I replaced the spare years ago at America's Tire, the new spare was oriented in the same position. Today, I was at America's Tire and I asked them to check my spare air pressure. They lowered...

It's hot and the air is still polluted, though not as bad as 50 years ago. I read that tires that don't get enough miles tend to crack more because the anti-ozone chemicals in the tire compound don't get worked out. You are right. Can't complaint about that credit.

Thanks all. I called Michelin customer service. I'll get a $55 credit to replace each tire. The person at America's Tire said that my tires were still safe to drive. He said that if you can stick a business card into the crack then it's got to be replaced. ??? Ozone cracking. Think I'll just...

Currently running on Michelin Latitute Tour. They were great but are 5 years old and showing cracks between the tread. Only 21,000 miles. Lots of tread left.

Any opinions on michelin Defender LTX M/S?

I do 98% city/highway driving. 1997 XLT on 235/75 r15. Looking for inexpensive, safe, good handling tire for Los Angeles streets and freeways (that means full of potholes). Any ideas appreciated. I can buy at Costco. BTW, I'm an old member.

I'm 59 and 290 lbs! I'm afraid that if I do squeeze in I'll have to call the fire dept. to get me out! :D Quick question: What tool did you use? Screwdriver with torx bit? I'm thinking a flexible shaft might help.

Thanks to everyone and this forum. I'm not giving up.

Removing the lower dash panel did not give me access. :( I will have to squeeze myself underneath.

Go to the Salvation Army or Goodwill and find a leather skirt (less than $5) and cover it in leather.

I've read that some people were able to fix this in about 10 minutes. I can't get my hand up there to replace the bolt. Is it necessary to remove the bottom dash panel? I suppose I have to lay on my back and reach up. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks.

The bolt on my '97 just fell out last night. I have it but my fat hands are making it hard to get it in. Is it necessary to remove the lower panel? Seems that some people just reach up and get the bolt in. I am assuming that you have to be on your back. Appreciate any tips. Don't want to take in...

But for up and down adjustment? I didn't see any other way except by hand. Is that the way to do it?

Thanks, I'm going under it today to check it out.
