So my radio display came back for a few mins the other day..thought that was a good omen but it's not. When unlocking the doors from the remove the lock seems to get caught. It's a 50/50 chance I'm going to be able to open the driver's door from the outside. Then my window began to bind. I...

I've had this knock since I got the truck. Even when waiting in line @ a drive through window you can hear a slight knock. I can rev the hell out of the engine and it's silent. Oil is clean, full power, truck runs like new. Basically what I'm asking is, does anyone use any oil additive they...

So my 98 has a slight knock at idle. I'm thinking the days are numbered. Instead of a rebuild I was debating on a 5.0 HO out of a 91-93 Mustang. I don't want step by step instructions..but I know there has to be a thread on this somewhere..Just can't find it. Will this work somewhat easy...

I've got a ranger front diff here I'm trying to sell. I can't verify if it fits a 08. Can anyone verify the year range on the explorer front diffs?

The ex is back in the shop. Not sure how long they've been out but all the lights work except the brake lights. Running lights turn on but when I hit the brake all 3 won't like up. WTF? I did a search and this doesn't seem to be a common issue either.

So the driver seat in my 98 is KILLING my ciatica. I'm 29 and sound like an old man. The cushion in the center of the seat is gone so it's like I got enough seat on either side to hold me up. This has to be a common issue. Short of replacing the seat..what does anyone else w/ this issue do...

So, it's not working. I can figure out what's wrong w/ it but I don't know how to take the bloody plastic off the rear liftgate! I tried to search but can't really figure out what wording to use. If someone can either point me in the direction on removing the interior plastic, or how to...

So while my truck is getting some work done, the mechanic called and told me all 4 of my shocks were blown (I knew this but it's a work truck so didn't care). I told him to change them but now he called and said he's waiting for a rear 3rd shock or some stabilzer to come in from ford? WTF is...

Just want some input. Yesterday I backed the truck into a garage to load it up w/ a Dana 60 rear diff. Loaded it and went to start the truck. Nothing. Then tried again..it sputtered and giving it gas wouldn't do anything. Just sputtered..hardly. Shut it down and tried to re start it again...

I was driving in well over 15" of snow last night and this truck is an absolute TANK. I am so impressed with it. I've had a plethora of SUV's over the years and this is by far the best. I got to the office this morning and they didn't plow the lot and the explorer was unstoppable. Ok, I'm done.

Just wanted to remind you guys..everything I advertise in the vendor forums goes for the UK too. I do QUITE a business in Europe. Just wanted to make sure you all know this...

On my 98 XLT the chrome on the bumper has surface rust in two spots but it's not coming from the back. I can't replace the bumper (The truck was $300 and money is tight right now) so I'd rather just make it look better than the rust. I was thinking about just painting the bumper black and I'd...

Sold the boat a bunch of years ago, sold my 04 xterra, and don't have the fullsize bronco anymore so all I've got left truck wise is my 98 5.0 AWD. I've got regular goodyear wranglers on it. Would this truck do well in soft sand if I were to air down? I've never really went off road w/o an...

I'm liking these more and more..thought it would look cool on my beater work truck..anyone else in the US obtain these or know where to get them?

I've seen these from time to time..usually an EB and it has the raised roof. I think starcraft made them but I don't remember. Does anyone have any info on these? Just curious what they are and what the roof is all about..I googled it and I can only find info on vans.

I've read through a good 20 posts about engine knocks but non of them seem to replicate mine. 115,x.. miles on a 1998 5.0 XLT AWD. I aquired the truck @ 98,000 so I don't know it's history before me but I've had oil changed w/ 10 30 every 3000 since. Anyway..engine has a very faint knock at...

It's my understanding that the ABS ring on 02+ explorers could be either on the carrier itself or the rear CV axle. Can anyone confirm this or at least give insite as to why there would be two different locations?

Does anyone know of a place to get body parts wrapped in carbon fiber? I'm dealing with one guy but he's answering me s l o w l y and I want to get this started already.

I've been wanting to get a tuner for a while for my DD but for 400 bucks it's rough. I've seen used ones on ebay but it was my understanding that they can only be used with one vehicle. ANyone have experience with a used SCT tuner?

Anyone tried these yet? I'm looking to make sure they have the right amount of white/blue and are bright enough. I've been through so many damn sets of bulbs that I'm about to give up. BTW this isn't for my explorer so silverstars aren't an option because it's an H11 application.

Not sure this is body work? On my 98 I'd like to take the V8 off the side of the fender and put a 5.0 badge there. If I remove the V8 badge will there be holes or is it just stuck on there? Has anyone else done this? (I'm sure you have). Do you have a pic?

I'm do for inspection this month. Has anyone been through the dyno w/ their AWD ex? I'm worried theyre going blow somthing up, the truck only has 106,000 but last time they dyno'd one of my cars they blew the engine. Any experiences good or bad?

Now I sell the damn things, and I hear about this popping all of the time but I'm curious if it's the noise I have no. It seemed to only happen when going over bumps but now its a random thud coming from the passenger side under the floor randomly and on bumps. Is this the drive shaft pop/thud?

Truck only has 101,x.. miles on it. I've been looking at other explorers in the area and don't see this on any of them. Can't complain too much as the truck was only 300 bucks but this is embarressing. I have a plan of attack but somthing tells me somebody has a better idea...

Quick question.. As some of you know I picked up a 1998 5.0 AWD for 300 bucks. The tires on it now are 235/75/15 Kenda Klevers (Real cheap crap). The fronts need to be replaced because of an alignment issue and the steel belts are showing through. My concern if I replace the front w/...
