    Whine in Rear End?

    Pictures look eerily familiar. I've got a box of rear end parts in my garage that look just like this. My mechanic rebuilt the rear end in my '02 explorer(55,000 miles), and he said the problem is inferior quality parts. The newly rebuilt rear end is much more quiet, but he mentioned that the...

    noise, vibrations, shudders, OH MY!!

    All, I'm having some issues w/ my '02 explorer xlt. On short trips (10 miles or less) I have zero problems. Anything over that, and I've noticed I have a few assorted complaints. I've noticed that I have a slight grinding noise when on left handed easy turns (curves). At the same time, I...

    Puddle Light Bulb Replacement-2002 Explorer

    Just pop the glass out with a thin blade knife, like a butter knife. The bulb will be right under the glass. It's kind of a pain to get the glass out, but it will just pop out.

    Vibration on acccceleration while turning

    I have noticed the same vibration you're describing in my '02 xlt. I asked the dealer, and he said that since my truck has the "auto" 4x4 function, this vibration was caused by the auto 4x4 sensing "wheel slippage" when turning from a stop or at very low speed and trying to engage the 4x4...

    02 rear window leak

    Water leak try a good silicone spray on the seals. I had a similar problem w/the seals you mentioned, and the seals had compressed. Silicone spray will revive the seals and should stop the leak. Good luck!

    Hi all, I have a question about my '02 xlt. I have had problems for the past few months w/starting.The truck basically acts as though the battery is dead, I only get the solenoid click and nothing else. Initially, I suspected the battery. It was a stock battery and checked questionable. I put in...
