    How long does your heat take

    The control valve was changed and the system flushed (including heater core) at the same time.. I forgot to mention that the water pump, radiator, thermostat, thermostat housing, fan clutch were all changed over the last year o and head gaskets. Some were done for preventative some were leaking...

    How long does your heat take

    the tstat was a stock replacement and I checked the recirc doors and blend doors last year and they were fine.. is there an electric fan that bolts on or just a universal type? Also what would be a recommended tstat degree wise?

    How long does your heat take

    It is currently 25 degrees and I remote started my 03 xlt 4.0 with rear heat and it ran for 18 minutes and still was not even warm enough to defrost the windshield. Is this normal? Last year I replaced the thermostat and water pump, but I was having the issue before that.

    Back up Camera Activation

    Drivers kick panel black with pink wire. You might have to play with polarity on Ur head unit I had to on mine or it would stay constantly on camera

    Upper Radiator Hose

    When my gauge shows normal operating temperature my upper hose is still on the cool side. I would say not even luke warm. Is this an indication of water pump? My heater hoses are so hot I cant touch them and I have checked the coolant level and it is full.

    Another heater problem...

    Thanks I had already purchased a pump but was debating on sending it back. I guess it doesnt hurt to change it either way

    Another heater problem...

    Im having the same problem. I have flushed the whole system including both cores changed the control valve and thermostat. The only thing left that I can think of is the water pump, but would there be any other indications of a poorly working water pump?

    Another Heat problem

    Thanks I will take a look at that this weekend. I have another question, is there anyway to recirculate the air without putting it on max a/c which turns on the a/c?

    Another Heat problem

    Is it possible that the water pump just isn't working properly and not flowing enough when at idle?

    Another Heat problem

    2003 xlt with rear air. I have read through the forums and think I have tried all the suggestions. I have flushed the sytem and both cores (had good flow) I have changed the thermostat, the heat valve by the valve cover, fixed the blend door motor and I'm pretty sure the door for fresh air...

    Help: Remote Starter install

    You may also want to check and see what the default is set for m/t or a/t.. I just put an astrostart in my 03 and default is m/t. It turned on the parking lights and everything and then shut right back off until I changed it to a/t.

    Dome Light

    I have an Astro Start 2514 and when I lock the doors the dome light does not go off until it times out, and when I unlock it does not turn on. If I remember correctly with the factory fob when you hit lock the dome light (and headlights if they are on) go off immediately. My question is do I...

    Dorman Camshaft position sensor

    I read about the complaints about the dorman unit. My question is if I were to buy the dorman unit and swap out the roll pin for a heavier duty one is there any difference between that and the oem?

    95 Explorer with cmp chirp

    I have read all over in the forums and have seen the how to's. My question is why the hell can I not find a decent priced cmp for the 95 what is the difference between 95 and 96-97 cmp's. I see them for the 96-97 for under $70 but for the 95 I think the least expensive I saw was $150. Can anyone...

    A/C Guru's

    sorry for being unclear... The only wire at the relay that has power is the pcm wire (pin 85 I believe) the other 3 that come from the relay donot have power.. They are the low pressure, high pressure, and power to the clutch.. All I had with me at the time of testing was a test light so I don't...

    A/C Guru's

    yes fuses are all good and the relay is the wac (i think ) its in the dist box and it has a wire that goes straight to the compressor ( no power, but if I jump power to it clutch engages) it also has a wire that goes to high pressure switch and one that goes to the low the low pressure switch...

    Time for a new tranny?

    1995 explorer 4.0 4r55e(I think). Intermittent o/d slipping. Ok here goes, 1st thru 4th are fine. When cold o/d works but once the truck is warmed up it will sometimes slip so bad that it throws code 648. Now it doesn't always slip, if I am cruising down the freeway its fine but if I have to...

    95 Explorer tranny issues

    Where to start? I just bought this thing last week and it had a miss but tranny felt fine. Found out I had 1 plug not firing on the coil pack so I changed it(yea miss gone). Took it out for a test drive and tranny slips from 2nd to 3rd(what the hell). Get up on the freeway and it slips in and...
