Hi Guys, My 02 Explorer is leaking trans fluid. I don't really see where it is coming from. It appears to be on the side by the shift linkage. Is there a seal or something that goes into that which could be leaking? I am planning on dropping the pan tomorrow to see what is going on. But I am...

Hi All, I have a 97 explorer AWD 5.0. The oil pan gasket is leaking right by the rear corner by the dipstick tube. Then it drips right onto the exhaust and onto the o2 sensor(which is bad im assuming from the oil dripping on it.) I have been looking for info on changing the oil pan gasket but...

97 Explorer 5.0 AWD I was attempting to change the fluid in my transmission when i hit a snag. I dropped the pan and their was some yellow plastic dreidel looking object sitting in the bottom of the pan. it has a o ring on it so i assume it goes to something but i can't see anything it would...

Here's the deal: Last year I had an issue with my front end. it turned out that the cv axle on the front driveshaft was binding. So i removed the front driveshaft. but in my original diagnosis, I had replaced both front cv axles. But now i have the same problem with the drivers side tire...

Hi All, I have a 97 5.0 Ex AWD and something happened last week when i was driving. I noticed that during acceleration between 0 to 45 under load, there is alot of vibration in the steering wheel. When you let off the gas it instantly stops. Also I cant really feel it at all over 50 mph. The...

OK heres the deal. Im having a problem with my 97 explorer 5.0. Recently when i try to start the truck, the starter turns real slow. I took the truck to advance auto parts and had them measure the battery and the alternator. The alternator is up at 14.5 volts while running. Now the battery is an...

Man I cant get this truck to work for anything. It seems I have some issue with my trans slipping. The problem is only when in overdrive. When in overdrive the tranny slips a lot. But in drive it works fine. I changed the fluid and nothing. their was no metal or even burnt fluid. what would be...

At this point I am not sure if these two things are related. Heres the scenario. The parking brake return spring broke off my parking brake line. Then I noticed the car pulling to the right. I checked the two passenger tires and the back tire is very hot and obviously dragging. I kinda figure...

Hi, I just noticed that my parking brake spring is missing. When you release the parking brake the pedal does not retract all the way. below the drivers side back door is the cable bracket which has a retaining spring attached. My spring is missing all together. And after searching the...

Hi, I am in a serious situation here and really have no clue what to do. Last fall I had changed my transmission fluid for the first time. I cleaned all surfaces and followed all bolt patterns and used a new rubber gasket. 2 weeks later the pan started leaking. So I pulled it off and did it...

Hi, I am planning on putting a steering stabilizer on my 92 xlt upcoming in the next few weeks. And I thought before just picking one out of a line-up, I would ask the real people who use them. Im looking for some input into which brand is best and which brand you guys really rely on. Thanks...

So I found the head gasket was leaking so i went ahead to reseal the engine. Now of course im not the smartest guy and I am easily frustrated. I was trying to assemble the fuel rail back to the lower intake and cracked a pintle cap. 1: How the hell do i assemble the fuel rail to the lim without...

Hey guys, So my check oil light came on the other day in my 92 ex. I got under her and found im leaking oil pretty bad from somewhere in the front of the engine. I cant see exactly where its coming from though. It seems to be leaking on the front drivers side behind the power steering pump...

Well im at a loss right now. ive been enjoying my 92 xlt for so long now. but ive always had a clunk noise i never really took care of. It only clunks at certain times. Most often time is when i get in it the first time put it to drive and drive down my street to the stop sign. As soon as I...

Ive been having some issues with my 92 xlt. First the engine light has been coming on intermittent. I keep getting a bunch of different codes from 565 118 117 and on and on. They change though depending the day i run the tests. Wasnt that big of a deal until two weeks ago my mpg got cut by a...
