    Door lock issue.

    Looks like my 98 Explorer is having a similar problem now. For the last year, my key has not worked in the drivers side door. So, I would unlock from the rear gate, then open the rear passenger drivers side door and reach up to open the drivers door. NOW…the drivers side door will not lock...

    98 xlt SOUNDS like it's in 4WD but is NOT

    Hello, I own a 98 XLT SOHC with 4wd. She has 91,000 miles on her. The last 10,000 miles or so have sounded a little weird. When I accelerate from a dead stop it sounds like the 4wd is engaged (or trying to engage). The sound is very hard to describe. It basically sounds like it does when...

    Check engine light comes on & now I get better gas mileage!

    Does anyone have a clue as to why I would get better gas mileage once my check engine light has come on? I have been commuting to work the same way for a very long time, so the type of driving I do and the hwy/city mileage has not changed. I have been watching my gas mileage since I bought the...

    Any ideas what is wrong with my door lock?

    I think i know what is happening. I am actually in the same predicament as you. If you open the door and look inside the lock area on the actual door (not the frame) you should see a wire that is hanging loose. It is a very small, thin gage wire. As the lock mechanism moves up when you try...

    lug bolts shearing off???

    UPDATE!!!! Thanks to all for your help with this. I wanted to let you know that replacing the lugs with new McGuard lugs did the trick. Since the switch, I have not had a single problem. Thank you all very much for your help.

    tensioner pulley...how do you know if it has really gone bad?

    Do you think it is normal for the pulley arm to move (actually, it almost looks like it is bouncing from side to side)?

    tensioner pulley...how do you know if it has really gone bad?

    Greetings, I have just replaced my serp belt because of a squeeling issue. The problem was imediately corrected and all was fine...until a month later when a chirp...chirp...chirp sound crept under my hood. Unlike the squeeling noise, the chirping does not go away after 5 to 10 seconds. It...

    98 SOHC Cold Start Idle problem

    X'ers, i too have had this same problem for most of my trucks life (i have owned it since day one). My question is this...will any permanent/major damage occur if the problem is not fixed? in my case, the "pinging" only occurs for 10-30 seconds while at idle. once i drive it for a couple...
