My 2002 Ranger 3.0, which has a 5R44E and nearly 60K miles, is due for a fluid flush. The trans has always had Mercon V, flushed once so far (30K). The only local shop I really use carries BG products. Will my 5R44E be happy with BG universal synthetic ATF? Does anyone have any experience...

A while back I started noticing a coolant smell coming from my 1995 4.0 Sport. I popped the hood and saw very slight coolant seepage from the part of the radiator where the transmission cooler lines screw in. Nothing ever dripped to the ground, and it was such a tiny amount of coolant that I...

My Ex shifts into overdrive too soon for my liking. It isn't a huge deal, but I prefer to drive with overdrive turned off all the time unless I get on the interstate. Are there any possible bad effects from leaving overdrive turned off regularly? Obviously, I might get worse gas mileage, but...

Would you buy another Explorer? Yes or no. One thing I have noticed about the Explorer is that it seems to have extremely high owner loyalty. It seems like everyone I know who has an Explorer has had more than one, or plans to have more than one, and loves them. I remember back in...

I am concerned about my Explorer passing its safety inspection with all the rust it has. Most of the body is actually very solid. The frame is in excellent condition, as is the floor and all of the areas around the body mounts. The rockers however are trashed. Even though they don't support...

Help me diagnose this... *edit* lights flashed again My Explorer is a 95 with the BW 4405 t-case and Control Trac. A while back, I shifted it into 2WD from 4WD Auto. The 4WD Auto light in the gauge cluster turned off and I started down a paved road. About a mile down the road, both the 4WD...

About two months ago I got the typical vaccum leak hissing from my Explorer along with rough idle. Turning the truck off and restarting it fixed it that time. After that, I would occasionally get the hissing and rough idle. Usually flooring it cleared it up, and it wasn't that bothersome...

I disconnected the battery on my 1995 Sport because I had to reroute the trailer light wiring that was connected to the positive battery terminal. Afterwards, the keyless entry quit working, along with the door key pad. Theft light is also off. I did try turning the ignition from off to run...

I noticed that I was no longer getting air out of my dash vents, only the defrost vents. I popped the hood to look for a loose vacuum line and found one. On the vacuum ball thing on the passenger side has a line coming off of it that just stopped where the shock mounts. It looked like it had...

I took the Ex to the dealer today. They had two transmission fluid change procedures to choose from. A power flush, which I did not do because my trans has 150K on it, and a "transmission service" which does not use the machine, but does use a chemical flush. My question is, can these...

This is the progression so far of my $950 beater Explorer... When I first got it a couple months ago it was completely intact, though smashed up in the front and rear. It leaked gas from the rotted out filler neck, had a check engine light on, and probably would have failed a state...

I want to upgrade from stock P235/75R15 tires to 31x10.50s on my 1995 Sport. The tire store said it was no possible to recalibrate the speedometer. I called the Ford dealer and they said the same thing. I searched on here, and saw the stickied thread at the top that mentions a speedo gear is...

I was looking into getting a Transgo shift kit for my Explorer, but I am nervous about finding a shop I can trust to do the job. I'm wary of just handing over the truck to someone and letting them take apart the valve body. I was discussing the issue with a friend, and he suggested the B&M...

On PML's web site, they say some people have clearance issues with their deep transmission pans on 4.0L models. Has anyone here encountered a problem? My truck is a 1995 4.0L 4x4. I'd really like to find a deep, finned pan that is a garunteed fit. Also, has anyone had clearance issues off...

I have a 1995 Sport 4WD. The front pinion seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. The cover probably needs to be resealed too. What kind of cost am I looking at to have a shop do this? I understand that prices will vary, I'm just trying to get a ballpark figure. I would do the job myself...

My OD off light began flashing today in my 95 Explorer. The only code it spat out was 639, which is a fault in the transmission speed sensor circuit. I did drive the truck on a muddy wet trail earlier...is it possible that messed up the sensor? Is it okay to drive the truck? What/where is this...

I took my Sport down to the dealer that my friend works at today for an oil change. He ran the VIN through Ford's database thing and the truck came back as being an Expedition model. I thought that all Expedition models had Eddie Bauer wheels, painted fender flares, painted rockers, and...

My 1995 Sport had one of the defective cruise control switches. The cruise control was working, but I was concerned about the switch because of the amount of brake fluid around it and also the fact that I smelled a very slight burning smell in that general area. I bought the revised switch at...

I just had the gas filler neck on my 95 Sport replaced with a replacement in very good condition. The old one was rotted out and leaking a lot. Anyway, with the old one, I always had trouble at gas pumps because they wouldn't want to fill the tank. I'd have to hold the nozzle a certain way...

My 95 Sport has the "high series" console. My problem with it is that the latches that keep the lid down are sticking. It is so bad that the hook on one side of the lid broke off because the latch would not release it, if that makes any sense. I tried spraying a little bit of WD40 on the...

This is my 1995 Sport 4x4 I picked up last week. It has 148K on it, and runs and drives great. The body is rough in spots, but could be worse, especially at this price. It needs some minor repairs (blower motor resistor, filler neck, e-brake), but otherwise everything works fine.

I picked up a 1995 Explorer Sport last week for $950. For the most part, it is in very good shape for that price, but it has one very frustrating problem. The truck came from PA, and the fuel filler neck is trashed. It is completely rusted through in spots and I can smell gas. It is setting...
