Well we were on the Highway the other night and the check engine light started flashing and the truck was shaking like mad. Wouldn't go over 50MPH and I knew from previous experience a flashing CEL meant there was a misfire. I pulled my foot off the gas and coasted as much and as often as I...

I went to get an alignment done on my wife's '96 XLT before replacing the tires because the driver's side tire is completely bald on the outside and the passenger side was showing wire on the inside. The tech said the lower ball joint and sway link bar are shot on the drivers side so no point in...

Hey guys, My wife has a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT. Today when she went to work she was backing in to her parking spot and the truck stalled and the battery light came on and check gauge light came on. She started the truck to go to lunch around noon today and the truck was in drive and moving...

Hello Friends, I have a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0 and recently I've been having very rough idles at start up almost to the point where the vehicle sounds like it wants to die. If I rev it a few times it'll be a little less worse but not the best. As well, pedal all the way to the floor...

Replacing Leaf springs seems like an easy enough task, my question is ordering them.. What all needs to be ordered with a leaf spring? What's a "good" enough leaf spring? (No towing, but often a full car of kids + gear (strollers, camping gear, luggage, all of the above).. We have a 1996...

Little bit of information; It's my girlfriends 95 EX, but it's hands down my favorite toy as far as any vehicle goes. It's a lot of fun to work on and very easy to improve. When She got the truck, the radio bezel was all smashed and cracked (whoever removed it the first time, didn't unscrew...

Title states my question, just wondering so I can broaden my search lol. Thanks in advance!
