I own 3 diesel cars and I filled up today for 2.75 a gallon. where did you get 5.35?

Hey all, I noticed when I start my explorer (4.0L) in the morning it blows out a cloud of white smoke and the exhaust smells raw. The car drives fine with no smoke after the start up. The car sort of rev's up when it first starts as well. I did notice one of my spark plugs was white when I...

Just use the ford fluid.. and check to see if you have a limited slip diff. if you do, you'll need to add an additive. I'm not sure how to explain the noise but I can tell you that ford has a TSB on it. If you search for it on this site you should find it. Dont worry too much about that noise...

hey there... No, its not a repair that you have to have done right away. Mine cost 1200 to have the whole diff replaced. There is a replacement kit which solves this problem. But do make sure your car has the right fluid in the diff and if it has limited slip, make sure the additive is in there...

so as far as Ford's concerned--- its "life-time" great--- just like those "life time" fluids. I wonder how much it costs to have it changed.

Hello people, I've posted before and got no replies. Does the timing chain have to be replacing on an 02 v6---ever?! Some say chains don't break... some say they do.... any advice?!

thanks for your help!!! I dont see it on my list of parts they used so I'll ask them about it.

okay now i know I have LSD... but does the ford 75w140 come with the addivitive already in it?!

How do I know if i have a limited slip diff?

Thanks!

Hello All... I just had my rear diff replaced due to the famous noise at highway speeds. I noticed that they did not add the friction modifier to the fluid. Is that not needed in a diff replacement? They added the 75W140 and thats it. I still get a slight noise at 50-55mph (is that...

anyone?

But is there any way to add those three buttons and have it show on the dash?

when to replace timing chain? Hey guys, My v6 2002 explorer has 83,000 miles... Do I have to replace the timing chain? Should I do it? Can it be done in my garage ? any input would be wonderful!

I was wondering if I could add the Info center options to my 2002 explorer XLT. I'd love to know my MPG, X miles to empty, ETC. Has anyone done this? I recently took my truck to the ford dealer for excessive gas consumption. They said they hooked up a machine and it told them my...

the ticket says it took 6.5 hours and they had my car for one day. i'm thinking about taking it back to him and also complaining about the 2-3 shift issue... may as well push that used car warranty :)

Hey guys here's a question... after they did my LSD clutch replacement... I hear this noise at 50-55mph when I have my foot on the gas. The noise comes from the rear and will go away as soon as i release the gas- You only hear it at 50-55mph on the highway. Any ideas?

the 75-140 i used (ford brand) was full synthetic. The bottle did say if you have LSD then you need to put the additive in there... I had no idea it had limited slip! What I dont understand is why did they replace the clutches inside--- shouldnt they have just added the additive?

Heres a question- how do you know if you have limited slip diff's?

I used the ford 75-140 and no i did not add that additive... I wonder if thats what made my clutches go bad? now, ford did use the 75-140 and added that friction additive...

I was not having any noise problem at all until the repair was made!!!!!!! I have 81,000 miles on my SUV. I was planning on making a trip back to the dealer... I can hear this noise when I am giving it gas going about 50-60mph --- when i let go of the gas it goes away. There was no...

well I ended up taking it to the dealer... They said the rear clutches in the diff were bad. They replaced them with some kit. I noticed they put an additive into the diff oil but I dont have limited slip...atleast I dont think I do... but that did solve the problem!!! Amazing how i...

mobil 1 Syn ATF. it said its compatable with Mecon...

Hello all, I just changed all my fluids in the explorer (transfer/trans/diffs) --- The car drove fine after for about 10 miles. The next morning when I was reversing my tires were in a way dragging. It seems like my car's 4x4 is on all the time now. Any ideas?! Thanks!:confused:

thanks guys! i got the job done except i'm not sure about what temp. the transmission is at when I check the fluid. I know some people on here have put transmission temp. guages but I'm not hauling anything to need it. Which scan tool do people use to get the transmission temp? I want to be...

Great, thanks. Anyone have any pictures of this torque converter rubber plug?

Glacier991, where is that torque converter drain located?! I can't find it! Thanks! --also after draining the torque convertor, how much fluid am I looking to put back in? 18 quarts I've read?

Thanks! I've heard some people say that there is a fill plug on the side of the sealed transmission... is this true?!

Hey guys. I have just purchased a used ford explorer 2002. I am changing all the fluids including the transmission. I know i have the sealed transmission and have to fill it using that fill port on the bottom. Does the transmission have a torque converter drain plug? Is it a good idea to...
