Thank you for the incredibly detailed post. I understand this much more now. Any idea how much the repair is if the chain does fail? Just a rough idea.

hmm so I guess there is really no indication of whether or not the tensioners have been replaced or not?

Hey all, I bought my explorer used 3 years ago, since then I've put about 50,000 miles on it, now approaching 170,000 total. Its a 2001 sport and I've heard issues about timing chains breaking and that being the end of the car b/c of the cost to fix it. Long story short, is there anyway to...

i had apprx 3mph off. you can check it with a garmin gps

just cleaned it up and will keep an eye on it...

first time posting pics...hope i did it right its a 2001 explorer sport, 4.0L alright so i checked under my car today, just had a oil change done, and i noticed this leak. never noticed it before, that doesnt mean it hasnt been there though. not sure what it is, any ideas? ^in that...

ha yea that's a little above my head, I've got the basic mechanical skills down, understand how this works but have never actually taken one apart or anything. Everything I've learned is from this site (thanks guys). how would I go about taking this part off? and thanks for your help and quick...

In 4x4, drive shaft did not move In 2wd, it did turn, the wheels did not spin So this means gears?

Okay I'm gonna try that in a bit when the rain lets up. (for the record the lights work and I can hear shifting when i go in and out of 2wd and 4x4 lo and hi). If the driveshaft doesn't move in 4x4 would this mean torn up gears like they said?

well i was wrong. I took it to a shop today so i could get a confirmation that it was indeed the tcase. They said that was not true, that the driveline and tcase were both fine and it was shifting properly. They said that the gears in my front differential were probably torn apart. They said...

I got them just before we had our awful winter here in MD. They have worked wonders, I've been getting through all the snow and ice w/out 4wd or anything and they have been doing great. When it got really bad I just aired them down and was able to drive through about 2ft of snow. I highly...

3 position as in 2wd 4x4 low and high?

yea im gonna head down saturday get some tow hooks and a tcase. thanks for your guys help, ill let you know what i find

yea crazy ray's is great i was just skeptical in spending $60 on a tcase that id have no idea if it would work.

i assume the tags need to be the same? anyone have an idea if the driveshafts will match?

my 4 wheel drive is out because my tcase is no longer working. Did the troubleshooting, thats what i came up with. I dont know what is wrong it in but it doesnt work I know that. This guy is selling a tcase on craigslist saying it is a from a 2000 explorer, not used much and in good working...

dont have those stock hooks. frame sounds good. thanks guys

i haven't put any tow hooks on (yet) and was wondering in the event i do get stuck is there any place i can safely use? i skidded into a ditch a few months ago and used my warrior shackles and that worked fine but i'm reluctant to try that again

i have a 2001. mine stopped wiping. the motor works and every so often the wiper will get up but just skim the rear window. what it is, i think, is that the arm has a cog in it that has just been completely ground down to almost nothing. i assume this is it, havent had a chance to put a new...

does anybody know if id be able to pull this off on an '01 sport. i looked under there and it looks like theres alot less room between the end of the frame and the radiator. im interested to hear your thoughts on how the winching goes too. hope it goes well for ya

the rear drivers side indicator does not and has not been working for a while. all the others work. It flashes double time when i use it to signal its not working. I tried a new bulb, didnt work. Checked the fuses in the dash, all good. Also put a new socket in, that didnt work...

if it helps at all on my '01 they were just stuck on (no holes). they come off pretty easy with fishing wire and rubbing alchohol.

pretty crafty. looks like a mounting option i could afford. did you just drill into the the frame and attach it, did the mounting plate need to be modified at all?

i did a TT w/shackles and add-a-leaf and i just bought 31's, wrangler duratracs. They look great, fill out the wheel well really nice and lifted the car a bit more. Theyre not loud or anything, at least i dont think so. theyre supposed to be great is snow but havent gotten the chance yet, you...

im pretty sure it was replaced. it was an energizer battery. it was old like maybe 4 years or so. i left the radio on too long and lights on and what not a few times...whoops. it was completely dead and i was having to jump start my car just to go anywhere so i picked up an optima red top.

my battery is done and i am looking into getting a new one. i have 2 subs and plan on putting in a winch and some extra driving lights within the next 6 months. what type of battery would be best? also an estimate of the cost would be helpful too. thanks for the help

could be the transfer case...im having the same problem

i have the 10" rockfords and just cracked both of them after about a year and a half. I've had my alpine speakers much longer and give them serious abuse and they still sound great. based off of that id recomend alpine but I've never had one of their subwoofers.

thanks for the speedy reply, sounds great. i hate that bumper anyways

just making sure b/c im dishing out alot of cash tomorrow... 31" tires will fit on a 2001 sport, right? i've only done a TT and add-a-leafs and war. shackles. i saw the chart and but also read "no garuntees" in that same thread regarding 31's on a sport. if anyone has a solid answer or any...

yea i hear a clunk and sometimes a bit of rattling. its like it really wants to go but just can't quite get there. ha i admire the effort though. biggest snowfall of the year and my ex isn't even gonna get shoveled out. when i can afford it i'm gonna have to get someone to look at it. from...

mines pushing 155,000 and doing great. she's a gem.

we drove back from montreal in a snowstorm and speeds ranged from like 35 to top speed of 65mph, we drove 65 for a while than something happend, a loud 'clunk', and we lost all power to the car. we managed to restart it w/out four wheel drive and made it home but yea i don't plan on driving...

I was driving up a hill that hadn't been plowed yet and my back end skidded onto grass. I started going up the hill in 4 wheel drive and currently all four tires are on mud and grass. the two back tires are spinning and the front ones are doing nothing. I have it set to 4x4 high, tried 4x4...

i had similar problems with my subs, it just did not seem powerful at all and slightly distorted. i wired them in parallel and that made a huge difference, now they sound great. i forget the amps and everything but i have 2 10" rockford fosgates and one kenwood amp.

i have an alpine ida 100, got it from best buy on sale pretty cheap. works great has a usb port and a seperate ipod port. also got two 10" subs from them on a two for one sale.

I've got 4wd, green and around 137,00 miles :/ I'd like to do some mods and I just ordered some warrior shackles so we'll see how that goes. cash flow is limited so thats probably it for now ha.

hey guys, new here just saying hi. been reading for a while and this is the first post. got a 2001 explorer sport (first car). this websites helped me out alot already so thanks, you guys are geniuses when it comes to this stuff!
