    Bearing Noise

    My wife's 2000 Explorer XLS is making a bearing type noise in the front end. I jacked it up last night and checked the tire movement horizontally and vertically and everything is tight. The noise doesn't transfer to the steering wheel and there is no wobble or shaking, just a noise that sounds...

    Intake Manifold Gaskets - P0171-P0174

    Well after resetting a couple times the CEL from the above codes it has returned again after a 100 miles. Consensus here seems to be replacing the intake manifold gaskets. Also think I've read here about TSB for the job. Has anyone here done this work and have any pointers or be able to steer me...

    Passenger Window Washer Jet

    My window washers were working poorly, passenger side not at all. I replaced the motor, not much improvement. I jumped out the passenger side by blocking the fitting and the driver's side works fine now. There didn't seem to be a leak or blockage when i put all the fluid to the passenger...

    Windshield washer pump.

    Has anyone changed this out. Do you take the combination washer/antifreeze tank off to replace this little pump. The passenger side spray isn't working and the driver's side is weak. I'm assuming this is the culprit. Bill

    O2

    Hello, I have a 2000 Explorer 4 door, automatic, AWD. My wife informed me on her way to work today that the Check Engine light came on, the truck is running fine she says. So I'm assuming it will be the O2 sensor. Just wondering before I look for it if someone can tell me where it/they are...

    Sagging Rear

    On my 2000 Explorer, 115,000 miles it seems like the rear is lower than the front. Looking at the leaf springs they look straighter than the arc you usually see. What solutions have you guys done to "help" this out? Shackles? Helper Springs? And where do you get what you get? I think it actually...

    5R55E - Stairway to a Diary (Companion Thread to the 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary)

    Well here is my list of steps taken to get to the 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary. I know a few guys were waiting to see how it worked out. The 2-3 flare is gone and reverse is as it should be. I did not do the Sonnax Boost valve or three of the mods in the Superior kit, “Pressure riser”...

    5R55E Bands

    Hello, I have see a couple different numbers for adjusting front and intermediate bands on my 2000 Ford Explorer 5R55E. The ATSG manual I have says 2 out on the front and 2.5 out on the intermediate. I have read some threads here which say 2 out on the intermediate. Can someone straighten me...
