Hi everyone, I need to advice for painting my '99 explorer. I have the '99 limited pearl white color which is a tri-coat and I got into an accident about a month ago and I need some advice on how to paint my front right fender, the right *or passenger side* corner piece of the grille and the...

Thank you so much:) I can't believe I missed that all this time:( Thanks again.

Hello everyone, I have a 1999 explorer 4 door limited pearl white. I'm wondering does anyone know an autoparts store or website that sells a Radiator Grille Mounting Panel because I looked on fordparts.com and they want $201.32 for the part. I checked rockauto and I can't find it there. I...

any advice?

*UPDATE* I went to my local mechanic and he checked out the leak more and found out that the leak was coming from a missing or bad sensor. He didn't know what sensor so I have to go to a transmission specialty shop. I am going on Glacier's statement saying that it's the TFT sensor.

Hello, first of all I have a 99 explorer v8 5.0L 2wd auto transmission 4R70W and I have had a problem with shifting into gears for the past month. When I shift into reverse, I hear this clunk and my truck jerks when it catches and I was told to check and replace my u-joints. I replaced my...

Any luck with solving the clunking sound with the advice given?

I am not having the problem with the wheels making a hard clunking sound, so I don't know what to tell you there, but with the clunk coming when the truck is put into reverse I am having the exact same problem and did so deep research into it and I kept coming back to that I needed to grease my...

It depends on if your driveshaft has a visible black boot on it secured by clamps or if your driveshaft is one long metal shaft. This tread will help you out: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106307

I am having the same problem as you. As everyone would suggest, check your u-joints and if those are good then you need to grease your slip yoke. I already replaced my u-joints and the clunk is still there so I'm going to have my slip yoke grease next week. Hopefully someone else can chime in:)

Ok I got the new U-joints installed on the front and rear and my truck is still making that clunking sound. I don't know where to go from here now:( Well at least I have some new U-joints:(.

Ok thanks. I'm going to buy the Precision Universal Joint Greaseable Super Strength Part #270 on Rock Auto. I have read that the transmission U-joint is a different part number than the rear axle one. The Trans one is named A1 and the Rear is A2. How do I tell the difference? Thanks.

I found the U-joints on Rock Auto:D I didn't know they were that cheap. I just want to know what brand to buy that will not fail and to get Greased or non greased. One other question I have is do I need to replace CV joints too or is that only for 4wd trucks? Thanks again.

Thanks for the good advice and I searched for U-joints threads and I found Turdle's explanation and write-up. Thanks again:cool: *EDIT* Can I order the U-joints on Rock Auto? and if so, what category do I look under on Rock Auto?

Hello I have posted topics 2 months ago asking about a tune-up and I'm still on schedule to have one, but I have another problem that is bugging me and that is with my gear selector. For starter's I have a 99 explorer limited auto trans 2wd 5.0 v8 about 145,230k miles and early in the morning...

I know all my cylinders are working because I do not feel a loss in power, but if one or more cylinders are shot, then will the car throw a check engine light or will it not start at all? I'll think about doing that but, although some members here have had success with using seafoam, I've...

Thanks for the advice and how can you tell if the coil packs go bad?

Hello I am going to have a tune up done next month and I need some questions answered. First I have a '99 ford explorer 4dr V8 and I am undecided on which spark plug brand I should get. I am torn between platinum Autolites and platinum Motorcraft. Second, I am going to replace the pcv (just...

The vibration exist when I'm at a stand still. I changed my oil sometime in June of this year and I'm almost at the 5,000 mark to change it again. Funny you mention the exhaust leak because on cold starts I see a leak from the passenger side of the truck and I was worried if I needed a new...

Hello I have a 1999 Ford Explorer Limited 5.0 V8 and since its been 35 degrees on average in the mornings, for some reason when I'm sitting at a stoplight the car vibrates hard and its only when the engine is cold. My truck has done this in the summer but the vibration was very very mild. The...

Hello Cutty, I have a '99 Ford Explorer and when I bought it, it had a tire size of 265/70/16 all around and I'm at completely stock height. I have no rubbing at all. I have been running this stock setup for 4 and a half years now with no issues. Hopefully someone else will chime in on your...
