Thanks for the input. It's the strangest thing though... I was having no leaks, and no overheating problems. Saturday, upon starting up the X the serp. belt popped off. I put it back on thinking that maybe the a/c compressor locked up but then upon starting it up again the belt popped...

I was wondering if anyone with an SOHC had replaced the water pump and if so if I needed to remove just the fan/shroud or the entire radiator? Also, any recommendations on the best place or brand pump to buy?

great write-up. I just found the ac problem on my '97 today...took my local guy five minutes to find a vacuum line that "Ford" had incorrectly installed last year when they replaced my intake manifold. Yep, I went all last summer with no ac because of the dealership. I'm gonna go...

i can still the the decals in any color, but my vinyl guy is out of carbon fiber and he's not sure when he's going to be buying more. i'll look around for the part numbers on the rack...i don't have the boxes anymore, but maybe i'll find something.

very sweet work for your first try! I'll raise my hand in interest for a front one....

Dead Link Removed here's a post that details it for anyone that needs to know....

I know there is a simple procedure of turning the ignition switch on and off while locking and unlocking the doors that will engage/disengage the autolock feature, but I don't know the sequence....does anyone have it for a '97?

yomie!!! long time no see!!! nice looking rig. I've been hearing alot about Livingston lately....I wonder my my x would be like down there.... get in touch sometime

The last time I had my '97 at the dealer there was a new recall on the throttle body...so they replaced it for free. I wonder if '95's ever had the same recall.....

best thing to do is to go to ford.com and input your vin number...that will tell you if your vehicle was actually involved in that recall. you can take that data to the dealer and 'make' them fix the recalls. if they've never done it i'm sure there are at least two upgrades for you ecm...

if anyone is looking for it. they had the oil/gas/throttle body cleaner, the tranny additive, and the cleaning lubricant. the oil/gas/throttle body cleaner was $5.75 just an FYI

Copy or real...I don't care. I just know that I need some of the vacuum line info that I'm hoping will be on that cd! Yeah, whoever is selling them is taking a risk, but this is the real world and how many people do you hear about getting prosecuted for 'copyright' infringement for burning...

I ordered one today from 'southenpaw' or something like that. It was $12 'buy it now.' Thanks for finding these Robert!

278k on my '92 when the motor let go and the tranny blew for a 2nd time. Only 65k on my '97...woot woot!

I'm suprised nobody mentioned OME shocks. (Old Man Emu) Seems like I've always heard that they were the best available for our applications...

Dead Link Removed here's my x get in touch with me if you need any help working on it....

anyone else interested in some of the graphics? email me or reply....

I've got an exhaust leak on the driver's side manifold. I'm not sure if it's a factory defect or if it's due to the fact that my x was crashed on that corner...

I suppose that KY is similiar to Ohio in respect to vehicle testing. The only place in KY that requires any type of check is Louisville, and then it's only an emmission check. I'd never heard of a DMV doing mechanical checks (until now after reading this post.) Luckily I live just a few...

someone with the right connections should print this out and send it to the explorer engineers or quality control. maybe they could remedy some of these problems before assembly...

can you go into a little more detail about this? mine aren't working either...

you can try running a higher octane gas for starters. this might help out for a short time, but I'd go ahead and let the dealer look at it, since they might take care of most of the expense.

I'd think that the 'wheel stuff' would most likely be the bearings and/or the hubs. 91-94 explorers were notorious for having front brake problems and hub problems. As for our 95+ models, the brakes have been much improved but there are still some failures in the hubs. You may want to get the...

Yeah, I'd say about an hour for your first time....after that probably 30-45 minutes. Most of the work involves jacking up the truck and removing/replacing the tires instead of the actual brake work. just two pins to drive out on each side (you'll see what we mean once you take off the wheel)...
