2001 5.0 250k Saturday, my son says the Explorer is running a little rough. I told him take my SHO to work I'll drive the Explorer. I went out for an errand and it seemed to run fine until I slowed to pull into the store I was going to, it started to miss a little bit. About a 5 mile trip. When...

First...I tried the search function a couple times and could not find an answer, so, as always all help is appreciated. So I took the Explorer out last week and the brakes seem to be working fine under normal use. Firm pedal, normal stopping distances, no pulsing, pulling, no sponginess or...

So I have searched and have come up more confused and tired... I need more light on the road, I still have the original headlights. I found the thread to keep the fogs on with the high beams through modifying the relay which I will do. In addition I have other options, but I will not be...

So I am changing out the wheel bearing hub assemblies on my '01, but I cannot find any torque specs when I install the new ones. 1) For the wheel bearing? 2) For the 3 mounting bolts? 3) For the Brake Caliper mounting bolts? As always...all help is GREATLY appreciated.

I haven't posted here in a while because; 1) The Explorer is so rock solid 2) I then made up my mind to trade the old girl in. Well, she has got a new lease on life and will become the sons first vehicle as he gets his permit soon. So there will be some items that recently stopped working that...

So as I pulled in my neighborhood last night heard a nasty clicking/knocking/squealing sound from under the hood and had fears of something terminal. Once I popped the hood I quickly realized it's coming from the front of the AC Compressor. I cycled the AC on and off a few times, and the sound...

So I may be trading the '01 Eddie Bauer that has been great (of course). I want an Explorer 4.6 LTD or Explorer ST 4.6. 4x4 0r AWD. Couple of low mileage options that I have found are a 2010 STA and an ST LTD. Couple of questions for you guys; 1) Neither has Nav, how difficult/expensive...

I need to replace my radiator, small leak. '01 5.0, looks like a pretty simple job although pretty tight as usual. Two bolts hold the fan shroud on. Two bolts hold the radiator in. Two transmission cooler lines. Two radiator hoses. Am I completely missing something? Does the Fan have to...

I posted this on the modified side Friday but haven't gotten a wiff of a response except my own so I'll try the stock side... So I bought new upper and lower control arms for both sides, as well as sway bar end links and sway bar bushings. I also bought the bushings for the passenger side...

So I bought new upper and lower control arms for both sides, as well as sway bar end links and sway bar bushings. I also bought the bushings for the passenger side inner-upper control arm and two new bolt kits. All Moog parts. Life being life, work, soccer practice for two, Karate, etc. etc...

So I have developed a bit of a clunk when traversing bumps and RR tracks and such and plan on doing some front end work. I plan on new lower control arms with new bushing and ball joints, new uppers for bushings and ball joints, new tie rods, inner and outer, new shocks. Question, been a long...

Does anybody make the inner half with new bushings? I know I can get the outer with the ball joint and still have the ability to fine tune the alignment, or a one piece with and get new ball joint and new bushing...can I get both? I need new ball joints and would like to put in a new inner...

Anybody ever use this stuff? I used it on my Lincoln and it worked great. Got up to 70 this week end and I cycled the A/C. The A/C will get cold, but not icey cold. I would like to give it a quick recharge before summer gets here and I need it THEN find out it is going to be more than a DIY...

Of all the threads I've seen on here regarding brakes, they all refer to pad or rotor recomendations or upgrades, and slotted-drilled, etc... I am going to do a pad change this week end and will probably do a fluid change too. While doing that I would like to upgrade to a stainless steel...

I've got a problem with my Explorer that I cannot figure out and hope someone here has either experianced it or just knows what it is. I posted this in the "stock" section as well, but did not know if I would get limited responses there due to my mods. It took me a little while to instal the...

I've got a problem with my Explorer that I cannot figure out and hope someone here has either experianced it or just knows what it is. It took me a little while to instal the headers on my 5.0 and the truck sat for a little while. I had multiple setbacks, obstacles, opportunities to...

Factory unit in the console with the 6 disk magazine. Will not respond. Does not play, will not eject, nothing. Any ideas?

So I finally got my explorer back together after a few set backs and not focusing all of my time to it. Work 12 hrs/day, 2 kids with soccer, so on, so on, whatever. It was never pressing, I have a company truck and we have another car. Heres the deal. A year (or so) ago I had a leaky exaust...

I'm putting the truck back together and would like to replace the set of metal tubes that run down the passenger side from the water pump to the heater core. I ordered the replacement, which the salesman assured me was correct, but it appears to be a push in with three gaskets, vs the original...

A buddy of mine has found an old Mustang "barn find", an '82 with 70k that has not been started in about 20 years. It is in an akward position that will be hard to winch and he was asking me what he should do if he could start it to move it at least out of the barn. I recomended changing the...

So I resumed my TMH and 1" spacer install today and everything was going well until I sheared the head off the rear bolt on #3 cylinder. All the other bolts came out easily, being a mostly southern driven vehicle and there was not much torque involved applied to shear the head off. I expected...

Any body know what size wrenches? I have up to 1"...too small for the larger, and too large for the smaller though it may work. I will swing by Sears tomorrow, but are they metric, or do I just need 1 1/16"-1 1/8"...? Much appreciation in advance!!

Getting ready to Change the filter and do a flush on my 5.0 (4R70W). I was wondering if anyone had a brand recomendation for the filter. I did a search and the one that stuck out was FRAM Microfelt. It doesn't seem as though Fram makes them anymore, as there website says cellulose fiber. The...
