    Automatic Climate Control - Fan Speed

    Also note... AC and Max AC sound differently anyway because of the recirc door When on AC the door is open to the outside, so you dont hear the fan as loud When on Max AC the door is open to the inside to recirc and recool the inside air and you can hear the fan substantially louder

    4x4 stuck

    4x4 is engaged when diferences in wheel speed are detected. When doing a tight turn, your wheels are turning at more than enough different speeds to engage the system. When that happens, your front and rear wheels become locked. When locked they cannot turn different speeds. So you'll hear...

    where can I get fender flares?

    I feel your pain. You can easily get factory replacement but it will be major money to buy all the pieces, plus i believe the front bumpers are different on Explorers with and without factory flares as a small section is molded in. And factory flares require holes to be drilled in the...

    Pretty close on 4 years.... the Nexen's were retired yesterday. I had no complaints. Well over 50k miles on them. A set of 265 70-17s fell in my lap and I tried them. Actually tried one. Turning clearance was not an issue, but there was less than 1/8" space from the tire to the upper ball...

    How to: Replace Front Blend Door Actuator in 3rd Gen Ex.

    I did this repair this past weekend and it was made easier by this thread. A lot easier. I did not remove the console, just unscrewed the drivers side and pulled it away. Its flexible that you wont break it. Though removing it would have made the job that much easier. The top forward bolt...

    Left Front Hub 2004 Ford Explorer

    Ill second that. On the rear the ABS sensor is on top of the center section differential. You can replace it yourself if you can crawl under. I did mine last year, not terribly difficult. The front sensors are in the hub. When a front hub is work, typically you will get a wine/hum noise...

    rear glass wont open - need cable from actuator to latch

    Got the cable yesterday Installed today, works perfectly. I see now why the latch and cable come as a set in most cases. The latch is riveted together, and there's not enough room to remove the cable without spreading it. I was able to spread it and bend it back into shape without too much...

    Well the 03 V8 developed a nasty motor knock... still running but not trustworthy. So the plow was moved to an 04 4.0. This truck is immaculate, no rust issues at all. (The 02 V8 next to it is my dads winter driver. He's got an 06 Limited for summer use)
