    Steering Knock

    I was getting a slight knock at low acceleration as well as when coming to a stop. On further inspection , while stopped I get the same light clunking when turning the steering wheel left. It starts clunking as I turn it and clunks faster/slower based on the speed at which I turn the wheel. It...

    Idle Cabin Vibration

    While idling at a stop, I get some fairly steady cabin vibration. I'm thinking this is probably a motor mount but I'm not sure which or all or even any? Is there a specific mount that goes bad first or more than others? I have a 98 EB AWD 5.0 - Thanks guys.

    Tranny Fluid Change 98 5.0 AWD

    I was looking into replacing all my tranny fluid with Mobil 1. I was a bit concerned about getting the fluid out of the torque converter, but it seems the converter has it's own drain plug. If I drain the tranny fluid, and then drain the converter via that plug, will I be getting pretty much...

    Front Rotors and Pads -

    I have a 98 AWD 5.0 with ABS.. I'm wanting to swap the front pads and rotors. Is this a difficult job? I've done this before on 2wd vehicles without ABS. Is it much harder? Does anything other than pads and rotors need to be replaced while I'm in there? Does having ABS mean the system needs to...

    5.0 PCV Valve swap -

    I'm trying to swap the pcv valve in my 98 AWD 5.0. I have a general idea of where to find it (between the firewall and engine about in the middle), but I can't seem to get a hand on it to pull the old one out. Is there a tip or trick to swapping this? Any angle that I can see it from?

    Plugs and Wires

    I just put some cheapie platinum plugs in my 98 5.0, and it started running slightly worse. While doing the plugs the person putting them in told me I should have done wires as they were a bit rusty and looked original. I'm about to do plugs and wires now, and wanted to make sure these 2...

    98 AWD v8 Sluggish?

    I might be wrong, but it seems the last few days my 98 x has been feeling kind of sluggish. I might not have noticed before so I'm not sure how long it was going on.. I was away for about 10 days and it just seemed to run kind of crappy since I've been back.. I did throw some cheapish...

    How to tell - AWD or Not?

    I just got a 98 EB Explorer 4 door with the 5.0 V8. The dealer advertised it as having a tow package as well as being AWD. I can't find anything else that indicates that and haven't been able to crawl under it yet. When looking through the owners manual, there are all kinds of features that it...
