I have a 2001 Explorer Sport with just under 200,000. Occasionally the transmission slips somewhat and I let off the gas and it then I can reapply the gas and it gets going. Fluid level is fine. When I was driving it today I was leaving a parking spot and it started to slip, I adjusted the...

Is it ok just to replace just the front tires or should all four be replaced? It's not AWD and I very rarely actually put it in 4x4 and when I do it's just to get out of my parking spot when it has snowed significantly.

The handle for opening the rear hatch is no longer connected. I took off the inside panel and have been manually moving the two rods that move left and right to open the door. However I can no longer physically move those rods. My assumption is the hatch is locked (but I am not sure as it no...

For some reason I can't remember I took out the old Glass support struts, purchased replacements, and forgot about it. I am trying to finish the job now and realize I don't have the pins that hold the struts to the glass side. I can't seem to find the part listed anywhere. Anyone know where I...

occasionally (once every few days) my truck just emits a single click when turning the key. 5-6 trys later it starts. (Although Sometimes it doesn't start at all) so it is very unreliable. I have put a new battery in it and the alternator is new. Research shows it could be the starter itself...

I have a 4 WD 2001 Explorer Sport with the thud. I can't seem to find the slip yoke....(I haven't crawled completely under the car yet) Can someone provide a general location for it? Thanks!

I have a blue cargo cover but need a grey one. Was wondering if anyone had one for sale or trade.

No, I dont want to disable the headlight chime, I'd like to disable the key in the ignition chime.

I have a new to me 2001 Explorer Sport. This morning was kind of grey and dark, so I had my lights on. Came back out to my about 2 hours later and the battery was dead, and the headlight switch in the on position. So my truck doesn't chime or warn when the headlights are on and the truck is...

Actually, my Explorer was missing the switch, I pulled one out of another explorer but was not able to get it to work.

I have a 2001 Explorer Sport that the interior light will not come on when the passenger door is open. While I was trying to fix that, I must of done something to screw up the passenger power window. It no longer works, from either the drivers switch or the passenger switch. When pressing the...

Not sure why but my new X has all kinds of weird issues with the locks, in that pieces were missing. I have everything working except the passenger door doesnt click on the interior lights. After taking it apart it was missing the switch. I pulled a working switch from another explorer but I...

The metal part of my rear bumper (not the plastic pieces) has a bit of rust on it. I want to clean it up and paint the spot. I think I found the proper color (Ford Sport Trac Gray Part # 38533) but the only place I found that has it has a $12 shipping charge making the can about $22 dollars. I...

On both of my Explorers there is staining on the back glass from the bolts that mount the window lifts in place. I think the rain hits the bolts and the dripping stains the glass. Is there anyway to remove/clean this?

Thank you. I have the cubby.

I just bought a 2001 Explorer Sport that had no radio in it. I purchased a double din head unit and am trying to figure out what exactly I need to do. 1) How do I tell if I have a factory amp? (I dont have the original radio and some of my research suggests the amp was actually in the radio)...

Does that panel come off or is the stuff tucked up inside?

Just picked up a Explorer with remote start. The remote system needs to be programmed. I have a remote with no identifiable name or number and I cant seem to find the "control box". Where do they usually hide them? I looked behind the kick panel on the drivers side.

The plastic isnt too faded I dont think. Just dirty. I will see what comes off with soap and water tomorrow. Thank you.

I just picked up a 2001 Explorer Sport Black with the Grey plastic trim. Whats the best way to clean the trim pieces? A search here brought up a lot of people painting it black, but I think I would like to leave them the same color but just clean it.

About a year ago I pulled out what I thought was the motor for the blend door on my explorer. I have attached a photo of what I removed, and it was removed from directly behind the glove box. Regardless of where any a/c or heat controls are set to, when the car is first started it blows cold...

I dont have the exact list in front of me, but it needs a upper control arm, left and right ball joints, and links.

I have a 96 Explorer sport that I bought about 4 years ago for $1000. It had 200,000 miles on it then, and now it has 270,000. My sticker expired this month and my mechanic says it needs about $700 worth of front end parts and repair. (Mechanic is a friend of the family and is honest..., he...

I need to replace the drivers side valve cover gasket. Is it possible to just replace that with out taking the intake manifold off? A friend suggested by carefully removing the stuff on top of the valve cover and the valve cover there is just enough room to replace the gasket without requiring...

I have a 4.0 1996 Explorer Sport and it is leaking antifreeze from the waterpump. I have more time than money so I was thinking about tackling this myself. Opinions? Any special tools I will need? or other recommendations? Thanks for any replies....
