Have a turn signal problem. My turn signals (1997 Explorer Sport) stopped working yesterday. This morning I looked outside and the left turn signal was on (light flash in dash and relay clicking). I got in the truck and started it but could not turn it off with the MFS stalk. I went for a...

I am having a major problem with my shift cable. A few months ago I could not get my tranny in park. After researching here, I found the shift cable bracket was loose under the steering column and was able to fix it. Worked great for a few months, then had the same issue as well as the...

When I have the AC on and I stop, the compressor constanty kicks on and off. I still have cold air, and the pressure is good on the low pressure side. When I am driving it does NOT do this, only when standing still w/ the AC on. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance....

My Ex just hit 100K, looking to get some service done at the dealer (stuff I just do not feel like messing with), so I stop at dealer A to make an appointment and get pricing. Then I called dealer B to compare, out of curiosity, and am kinda surprised at the differences: Dealer A: Fuel...

Washed my Ex this weekend, was drying the truck and noticed thousands of tiny little cracks all over the hood, the roof, and rear pillars. My truck is garaged every night and has been waxed every 3 months since I bought it new. I searched around the web and see this seems to be a common...

This is getting out of hand! 10 more inches coming to CT this afternoon! The snow finally just melted in my yard from the previous storms! Temp hasn't been warm enough to even think about using all the new Zaino I bought recently, and to top it off I put the snow blower away for the season. :(

Installed my fumoto valve I bought through the group purchase this weekend. I installed the one w/ the nipple. I also bought 5' of tranny oil cooler hose, so good bye to messy oil changes! Now the hard part, waiting for 5,000 miles to go by so I can test it out!:)

I was researching my rear differential before changing out the gear oil. I Found my axle code, 41, it is a 3.27 conventional differential. I really experienced the downside of this set up yesterday. I was coming up a hill on a street that was very narrow and a pick up truck with a plow was...

I am going to attempt to change out the oil in the rear differential. My owners guide reccomends conventional (dyno) 80W90 Motorcraft axle lube. My question is, is there a reason why they spefically say dyno oil? Are there any problems with using a synthetic gear oil? I have done a search on...

Does anyone know if there is a TSB or a recall for the shocks that keep the hood open? Mine slams closed by itself after being open for like a minute or so. Very dangerous, almost came down on my head this past weekend! Has anyone replaced these shocks? Thanks in advance....

My truck has 95k on it, and I have always had my oil changed at Valvoline. Well this weekend I decided I would start doing them myself and switch to Valvoline Max Life, (costs the same as it would to have them do it using regular Valvoline oil and cheap filter). So I get the truck on ramps...

I called my local Ford dealer today for a price quote on plugs and wires, 10.03 each for the plugs and 88$ for the wires?? This seems a little expensive to me. How much are the Jacob wires and how do I order them, I went to their website, but did not see where I could purchase direct from...

Ok, got the Gabriel VST shocks put on today. Definately improved the ride over the stock shocks, much less up and down bounce. Now I would like to reduce side to side rocking and leaning. What should be my next step, new springs? sway bars? The truck has 92K on it. Thanks in advance...

I need to buy a manual for my 97 Ex sport, which manual is "better" Haynes or Chiltons? Where can I get one? Thanks in advance...

My 97 explorer is going in on Friday for 4 new Gabriel Pro-Ryder shocks. Pep Boys is doing the install. Are there any pitfalls I need to watch out for, i.e., is there something common that can go wrong with the installation. I just want to be prepared in case there is a problem. Was going to...

I am getting ready to replace the spark plugs and wires on my 1997 Explorer Sport 4.0 OHC (just turned 79k), what plugs and wires should I use? Is there a difference between brands or should I just go to NAPA and get them there? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have a 97 Sport, my rear sags even with no load in the back. I heard they make a "add a leaf" for the 4 doors, do they make one for the 2 door sport as well? Is this something I can do myself?

I have a 1997 Explorer sport. The bulbs in my fog lights need to be replaced. Does anyone make a super-bright white bulb that will work with the existing lens and harness? I do not want to rewire. Also, do you know if the lens caps can be safely removed and cleaned (very cloudy) without...
