I need to replace the front driver side brake line on my Explorer, but after removing the line, I realized there is a flexible part in the middle. Has anyone else replaced this line, and if so, did you just go with a solid line, or did you some how replicate the flexible part?

My Explorer isn't in a position where I can raise the tires off the ground. Is it possible to replace the fuel pump, or drop the tank specifically, without jacking the truck off the ground?

Is there anywhere that sells pre-bent hydraulic brake lines for 2nd gen Explorers? My passenger front line just started leaking, and I hear it's probably the worst one to replace.

What are the symptoms of a failing rack-and-pinion? Or, how can I tell if mine requires replacement?

With Moog's caster/camber bolt kit, which gives me +/-1.625 degrees of adjustment (3.25 degrees total), I've maxed out the camber range and still can't get the wheels aligned. It's prematurely wearing the inside of my tires. I have torsion twist and shackles, and the only thing I can think is...

Got a 2005 Explorer where none of the windows are opening/closing, yet the sunroof works fine. All the fuses appear fine. When you hit the button on the door, it doesn't sound like the window motor is even trying to engage. Is there something else, besides a fuse, that is common to all four...

Just replaced my inner tie rod assuming it was the cause all the minor popping sounds and slight vibration I'm feeling in the wheel. The most convincing evidence that pointed to the inner tie rod was the fact that, with the vehicle still on the ground, I can pull back and forth on the tie rod...

Does anywhere sell the inner tie rod boot? I can't get my inner and outer tie rods apart, so I can't get the boot off to put on the new one tie rod. I've checked the usual places like RockAuto and Advance/Auto Parts, but they don't stock it.

Is it possible to run without the rear-intermediate driveshaft? The one with the CV joint on one end and u-joint on the other.

I've just started hearing a squeaky sound that seems associated with the drivetrain (noise comes and goes while moving). There is also a slight clanging sound. Both sounds seem to becoming from under the truck somewhere, but I'm having trouble pinpointing front/back or left/right. I checked and...

Where does this spring go? My ebrake line keeps following off the clip at the wheel. I'm hoping it has something to do with the fact this spring fell off and I never figured out where it went.

The drivers side parking brake cable keeps falling off the hook near the wheel. What could be causing this?

What is everyone using to protect their spark plug wires these days? I have TM headers and have gone through two wires lately. Number 8 burned up at the boot, and number 3 (I think) burned the wire in half. I have socks over them, but it doesn't seem to help. The sock eventually disintegrates.

I need to lower my fuel tank to gain access to the brake line. Is there a write up for this? Does anything from the fuel tank need to be disconnected, or is there enough slack in the hoses to lower it enough to gain access to the brake line? Thanks

The brake line to my drivers side rear wheel has developed a leak. When replacing it, does the line run directly from the rubber hose at the caliper all the way to the front of the vehicle? It's running too close to the gas tank for me to see what's actually going on. Thanks

Does the Motorcraft synchronizer, part DA2097 from RockAuto, come with the alignment tool? The Dorman part explicitly states it comes with the tool, but the Motorcraft part doesn't mention it. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=385816 If it does not come with the alignment...

I just replaced the battery on my Explorer and now I'm getting P0340 (Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction). No other codes, truck doesn't feel like it's misfiring. The sticky thread on the top here suggests a bad alternator could be to blame, but I checked my alternator it it's...

My Explorer is shuddering with the last gear change. It goes away once I turn OD off. What does this point to? I saw some previous threads on this, but can't seem to find a clear answer.

Getting P0174 and P1151, no obvious vacuum leaks, gave the MAF a quick clean. Definitely feeling some hesitation from time to time, and I felt like I got a small missfire... so far only 1 though. Because I'm getting both, does that mean it's more then likely fuel related... or could it still be...

I've adjusted my parking brakes as much as I can at the shoes (I even replaced the pads on one side), but they are still not holding as well as I would like. Is it possible to adjust the cable?

On a 97, are the parking brakes adjusted at the brake itself or at the pedal? Thanks

One of my fuel injectors is missing the plastic cap seen in the image below. What does the cap do? Thanks

Besides the lower intake gasket, where else can coolant get into the engine oil on a 5.0? (Sorry, I know I should just use search to find the answer.. but search isn't working for me right now. I just get a blank page.)

I didn't notice until it was two late (Autozone didn't have the oils stocked correctly), but I just mixed two 5w20s with three 10w30s. The engine takes 10w30 after the rebuild. Am I going to be alright? Or should I drain and refill? I'm in North Carolina, and the temperatures are pretty cold...

Does anyone know where I can get the little plastic peice on the bottom of a fuel injector? It's the orange/red peice pictured below (at the top, above the o-ring). A new injector would cost $40, and I only need the little peice. I *think* it might be called a "pintle cap".
