    Its my 04 Explorer 4x4 Noise seems to be most evident in the drivers front corner at about 40-50 mph. But you can hear it while coming to a stop. Its a rumble sound/hum sound When at speed, it gets worse with a slight turn to the left. quieter with a slight turn to the right. Making me...

    2004 Throttle Body Replacement - Can I do this myself?

    Im no mechanic, but I do most every repair on my cars myself. Ive had the motor/transmission out of my 70 Buick so Im not shy of trying things... This Explorer has the drive by wire, and it seemed like you had to push the pedal 1/4 way before you'd get a reaction. I went ahead and had Ford...

    2006 Explorer wont disengage 4x4 auto

    2005 Taurus SE - gauges dont work intermittenly - with video

    Seems voltage related The pattern seems to be when you're on the gas, they work. Off the gas, and the battery light comes on, and all needles just drop Car runs fine either way! I had the battery checked by Autozone and its fine. Next step is to take the alternator and have that tested...

    Anyone ever add 07 arm rests to their 06 door panels?

    What a pain in the a$$ There is no notch in the arm rest to use to pull the door closed or prevent it from hitting a car you're parked next to! I almost put a good ding in a car today cause I could not catch the door. There is a handle to pull on but its under the power window buttons out...

    question on all 3rd gens... are they all SOHC engines?

    My Father and I have always been Explorer lovers since the beginning when he got a 1991 XLT. And after I purchased a couple of my own and reading posts on the board Ive mentioned to dad about the SOHC engines how they are interference engines. He does not like this idea at all and is in the...

    Do you puddle lights come on with your dome light?

    Ive been thinking of adding extra lighting under the truck to accentuate the puddle light feature when the truck is unlocked with the remote. however Ive realized that even when you turn on the dome light from inside, the puddle lights come on. I thought, this must happen because the...

    05 V6 seized engine

    Looking at buying a 05 XLT Im assuming that the V6 is an interference engine... so with that said, it is locked. Worst case scenario is it worth fixing if I buy it or go for a used engine? Is the transmission in the V6's the same as the V8's? As it could be used for parts only for an 02.
