Story first....Question after Wifes friend brought over her 2007 EB 4.0 Ex with 97K miles complaining of it "overheating" She tells me it has only done it on and off over the past few months....oh boy.:( There was not a drop of coolant anywhere in it. Bone dry. Both radiator and block. I have...

With Mercury going the way of the Dodo bird, I figured I had better get a new Mountaineer while I still could. The dealer still swears up and down that Mercury is not going out and will keep their top 3 vehicles to sell at Ford dealers, funny what they will spout to you when you are buying. Even...

While checking out the bearings on the Explorer, which you cant do by feel... I found that the RF wheel has play in it and it appears to be at the inner tie rod. The outer is solid, the ball joints have been replaced and the movement goes into the rack. The LF wheel is solid with no play at all...

I have a noise between 40 and 45 that is a classic mudd tire bearing growl, cant pinpoint where, front or rear, swerving makes absolutely no difference. The noise gets higher pitched when going faster until it pretty much goes away at 75MPH. Throttle position makes no difference either like the...

Our 04 Explorer has a check engine light as of this morning (86K miles). I had it read at Advance, and its "coolant temp lower than expected" Sure enough I notice on the drive home that the temp guage is going up and down between the middle and 1/4 up lines. About a year ago this happened under...
