chris.cfox- Not too sure what a part # would be on that. A good Ford partsguy could look it up for ya. I have heard where that copper wire loop can break...if that's the case you do need the whole part. Bummer!:(

:salute: I am glad that WE have all been able to help, Kenya!! Keep this site close to the vest. As your Xploder gets older, you will inevitably need it more often. BIKEBOY

I've been thinking of doing this very same thing on my X, just for a custom dual exhaust muffler clearance in the rear where the spare mounts. There is really no room on the underbody for a pair of 'true' duals!:salute:

How many miles are on your EX? The IAC valve is the easiest thing to do FIRST! Remove it and clean it with GUMOUT carb cleaner. Thoroughly... If that does not create a better start-up and smooth idle, then you may need the intake gskts replaced. They are a royal PIA to replace! I had the...

My '99 SOHC just turned over 57K orig. miles and I am in Central NJ as well. I cleaned my IAC valve a couple years ago with Gumout and re-installed. It is a common problem with them sticking, every 40K or so... As for cold running...these trucks have very good cooling (overbuilt) systems...

I have a '99 SPORT and the rear quit on mine about a year ago. So, I just removed the arm all together. Then recently, for grins, I turned on the switch and it works on 'high' ONLY! Go figure that one??? Frankly, the rear wiper was always a PIA going through the drive thru car wash anyway. I...

how do I do that?

I can't figure out how to use the classifieds section. ??? I am a total knob on this @#$%! I have a super low mile rust free Sport, and want to find an F250 instead.

Yeah...I remember seeing Brad's a while back. Very cool, but I have NO patience! Looking for the easier way out. Thanks guys.

I know that this is probably old news...and for that I appologize. But, has anyone installed a Ranger Street Scene rear rollpan on for instance a '99 Exp SPORT? With a little massaging, can it work? Thanks:salute: BIKEBOY

Joe Dirt...you are the man!!! Thanks for saving me TONS of BS! :salute:

Hello everyone. Has anyone used the Ford Racing #M-3601-B Steering Wheel in their Ex. My '99 steering wheel looks JUST like my old '96 Cobra wheel...cruise switches, airbag, etc... Since I'm on this topic...what about the billet gas door from the Mustangs, maybe turned upside down??? Any...

Has anyone tried installing outer mirrors off of a newer Ranger...let's say '05-current on a '99 Exploder??? I have a '99 Sport, and would like to get the white capped squared off looking later mirrors for my truck. The door frame appears to be the same for all of these years. The window belt...

Sport Seatback Leaning Back.... There IS a recall on this...FORD will fix it regardless of time or mileage, due to HUGE safety issue!!! I had mine done in 2008. My truck is a '99 Sport. Scottsdale, Az. Demand it!!!!! Bikeboy:frustrate

Gear Indicator Stuck in Park Just did mine last month. There is a thread on here, as to how to fix! DON"T buy any part from Ford!! All you will need is a couple of tools...1/2 hour of your time and a 10-24 threaded nut. It is the PERFECT fix. Mine is dead on now. Bikeboy

Funny you bring up GT500, as that's my other car!!! '07 coupe White/Blue Stripes!! :)

Good morning all: Last week I was reading the thread on here about the illusive (4th shock)??? I have a 99 EXP Sport which, as I read and figured out from crawling underneath my bone stock truck, didn't come with said shock! I guess FOMOCO determined that the shorter wheelbase trucks didn't...

I have a 99 EXP Sport. Last week I replaced my 9 year old 255-70/16 Good Year All Seasons. I went with Firestone Destination LE's in 265-70/16. These are a tad taller and a tad wider. NO PROBLEM what-so-ever. The tire store was nutty and very conservative as to let someone just change their...

Don't get mad everyone...maybe I should have started another thread? But, I have a very lucky 53k mile 99 Exp SPORT 4WD, that I purchased a couple of years ago from a retired man that had 'NEVER' used the 4WD. Thankfully it works perfectly. I am only posting to talk about how wonderfully...

disappearing coolant My 99 Exploder 4.0 SOHC had visible coolant around the upper t/stat housing cover , as I have posted just recently. Although , I had an odor. It pooled on top of the lower intake manifold and around the injector ports. My problem was a $150.00 FORD part (warped) t/stat...

hworksinc is absolutely right!!! Arggh! I forgot to mention the adjustment screw? :mad: Yes...I did tweek that screw a tiny bit as well. Shame on me! Bikeboy

Just another 'fresh' F.Y.I. I had my intake tube off a month or so ago to replace my upper thermostat housing...(it was warped), on a seperate thread! Nonetheless, at that time did the gas pedal fix as well. It is very easy to repair. The throttle body butterfly shaft gets a nasty "gooey"...

My posting is quite some time past this last one, but I wanted to chime in for some help, as I have TAKEN lots of good info from this site!! My Exploder is a 99 Sport 4.0 SOHC. At approx. 51k miles in April 2010, I smelled coolant and noticed the same puddle of coolant on top of the intake, as...

#10-24 nut fix...for broken selector needle I have a 99 EXP Sport. Heard a popping sound under the dash yesterday as I was shifting into 'R'. My truck only has 52k miles on her. At that moment I realized the same thing everyone on this thread has described...misaligned selector needle! I used...

Hello all... I have a 99 Sport 4.0 SOHC. The truck only has 51K Orig. miles on it. Recently began smelling coolant after driving all day. Yesterday noticed coolant dripping from automatic trans bell housing on drivers side of it. The t-stat housing mating surfaces are damp, but doesn't appear...
