Have you figured out WHERE this pin goes??? I ask because the same pin fell out of my 2000 Explorer this weekend... I know it goes to the shift linkage, but WHERE???? :(

This thread is AWESOME!!! I read through all 18 pages before I attempted my upper control arms. Have a 2000 2WD Explorer. Ordered the Moog UCA's and set of camber bolts for each side from Rockauto. I went with the one piece right side UCA, to replace my original two piece. I was surprised at how...

Thanks for the quick reply. How difficult is it to remove the rear seal and are any special tools needed to remove it???

2000 Explorer Sport 2WD with the 5R55E transmission.... Noticed some minor dripping from the rear seal while replacing the upper control arms. How would I go about removing the rear seal without damaging anything else or causing MORE problems??? With 190K on it, I'll also replace the U-joints...

Did the lower ball joints on my 2000 Explorer Sport (2WD) this afternoon. I didn't remove the steering knuckle, just tied it up and out of the way. I also didn't remove the tie rod or upper ball joint from the steering knuckle. I used a fork to separate the lower ball joint from the spindle...

The heater contol valve was leaking on my 2000 4.0 SOHC... It's located on the passenger side, in front of the engine (follow the heater hoses down)... easy fix!!!

There IS a very detailed post somewhere on this site.... Don't know exactly where I found it, but it was complete step by step with photos!! I printed it out and used it for reference as I did the O-rings on my 2000 Sport 4.0!! It was actually a pretty easy job and only took a few hours. What a...

Thanks for the replies guys!!!

Has anyone seen the service manuals on CD that are often offered on Ebay??? Are they any good or a waste of money?? I have the Haynes manual and it is rather vague since it covers many years.... I'm looking for something a little more detailed for my 2000 X Sport. Thanks in advance!!!

Hey guys, I'm the FNG here.... Found this helpful site through Google last week. Have a 2000 Explorer Sport 4.0 SOHC w/97,000 miles. Hasn't been touched other than regular oil changes and tire rotations.... By reading the posts on this site, I learned enough to replace the plugs, wires, PCV...

Thanks for the welcome, Critter!!! I think I'll become hooked too!!! I had A LOT of questions when I stumbled across this site last week. Scanned all 18 pages and found answers to ALL of my questions!!! Spent ALL weekend working on the Explorer... brakes, tune-up, upper & lower intake gaskets...

Thanks for the info here guys!! I've been looking at that right rear spark plug for months thinking, "How in the #^%&...." I just tackled this project and the real PITA was getting the wires off of the plugs. Ended up slicing the boots to get them loose since I was replacing the wires anyway. I...

GREAT info here, thanks guys!!! I absolutely COULD NOT find the PCV Valve on my 2000 SOHC.... Parts guy at the dealership showed me a diagram with it located in the left valve cover. Definately WASN'T there in my 2000. With the info from this post, I found it BEHIND the right valve cover. I was...

New member here. Was not aware of the 00M12 kit and stumbled across this site (Google) AFTER I bought the upper & lower intake gaskets piecemeal from the dealer...... With the info from this post along with the links to similar posts, I was able to change out the gaskets in just a couple of...
