01 explorer

Hey all, so I bought my explorer with 177k miles a couple months ago and the cruise control worked fine then but slowly over time when I clicked the cruise button it will light up but not engage, it started slowly only not working every now and then but it became more prevelant over time and now...

I recently inherited an 01 Explorer Sport. After rebuilding the engine I have encountered a few problems. One being the 4x4 will not engage. The are no lights on starting, I have tested the 4x4 mode switch. It seems to be ok. Is there a way to test the 4x4 Control module?

So im having issues which i thought was a mass air flow sensor but its gone way past that now. Its chugging really bad and has no power. Sometimes when i try to take off from a dead start it wont go foward for a second. After that it catches and accelerates but its only does that every now and...

Yet another common issue im running into is removing the shackle bushing from the frame of my explorer. The bolt is rust welded tight and will not move. The side trim is blocking me form getting a hammer on it. Is just heating it up my best bet or are there other tricks im not aware of. Thanks...

Hiya! I am doing a transmission swap on my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (5R55E), and I noticed that on my replacement unit, there is a missing sensor above the shifter. The replacement transmission is coming from a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT Limited, if that is helpful. Is there any way around...

So, I’ve got an 01 Explorer XLT. I’ve replaced all 4 shocks already, like, 4 big (blue) ones, no exterior spring. I’m nearly ready to replace the front control arms, upper and lower ball joints, sway bars, rack and pinions, and the inner and outer tie rods. My problem is suspension, my...

First timer "threading" Registered 2001 Ford Explorer 4x4 Eddie Bauer (manufactured 09/2000) apparently this date means something when ordering parts? Motor V6 4.0 SOHC 84,000 original miles All of a sudden found coolant dripping down onto passenger side exhaust manifold. Coolant tank empty...

Last winter the nylon gear inside my EATC blend door actuator stripped, which I know is pretty much the way they fail ('01 Explorer EB). It had started making the clunk, clunk noise when operating, so I knew the gear had stripped. I removed the actuator and took it apart to verify that the gear...

I recently bought an 01 Explorer that had "been sitting a while". I drove it for around a month and a half to and from work (around 5 miles there and back) with no problems at all. About a week or so ago as I was going home the engine (4.0) started running rough, overheated, and shut down right...

happy Friday! On my commute this morning the transmission failed. Drive does not work Reverse 95% does not work. Gear selections 1,2 got me to work. Could this be a torque converter issue? Edit: 2001 Explorer 4.0 Any thoughts?

I just bought a 01 explorer at a auto auction a few weeks ago. My 3rd explorer iv owned in my life. It was running great. Then 8 days after i bought it i had a small fire from the manifold up to the transmission dipstick tube and lost all gears. I checked the transmission fluid after getting the...

We have owned this explorer for 6 years now and has been a great vehicle for my wife to drive around. Now it is time to start modifying it. First up is a winch bumper. It bolts to the factory brackets that will have some extra reinforcements welded to them. This is the start of the mounts...

I am in need of a Clock Spring for my 2002 explorer and I don't really want to spend $200 on a new one. I was if anyone knows if the clock spring from an 01 sport is the same? If it's not does anyone have one they can sell?

Hi all, I'm new here, and my explorer sport is new to me (been driving my ranger for 21 years). The problem I'm facing right now is the leaf springs appear flat and the back end sits low. I've never seen leaf springs do this. Putting in stock springs seems like an invitation for a mushy...

lets start off by saying that the 5.0 is in a Ranger, but it is an Explorer drivetrain, and I figure this issue would get more exposure to Explorer guys. OK, so when I first start the truck up, it runs great for 3-4 minutes (until warm). Pulls strong, no issues to speak of. After it is...

My Explorer is driving me crazy. My alternator went out on me. I replaced it and the battery. Now its charging at 18 volts. I took the alternator off and had it tested. Its in specs and charging perfect. I re installed it back on the truck and it is now charging at 18.9 volts. Both the...

Just got my old ones off.anybody know of some good replacements?

I have an 01 explorer with an intermittent issue that I believe to be fuel related. It runs great until I drive 20 or 30 minutes .. then it will stumble.. not like a spark plug miss ..but like flat dead you think it has cut off ... at around 2-3k rpms ..depending on it's mood ...let off the gas...

Hey guys i found a low mile 06 mustang 4.0, how much work would it be to put in my 01 explorer sport?

New here. I have an 01 with a 5.0 200K. Stock. Yesterday it started to stall as it hit the rpm area where it should shift. It just falls on its face no miss but it sounds like it's starved for fuel. Newer plugs, air filter, wires, and coil packs. In the last month only a couple times it takes...

Well--it's finally happened--Ohio's winter road salt and brine have caused my '01 2 dr. Sport Explorer to shed her rear door's liftgate handle. The whole thing just rotted through and fell out! Now, all I have is a huge hole and a floppy liftgate handle not attached to anything. I'll have to do...

Suddenly our 2001 Ford Explorer has been able to shift to and from any gear without pressing the brake pedal. I discovered a metal pin on the floor under the steering column, and looked around under the dash. I found on the shifter tube a hole that seemed about right, so I put the pin in it and...

I was having trouble with my turn signals and brake lights. While taking the cover off I noticed that some of the wires were out of the plastic connection to the switch. I don't know where they go. Any ideas. All suggestions appreciated.

Hey guys, I just bought an 01 Ford Explorer Sport and I'm loving it. When I bought it though it had the ABS light on, the trans felt sluggish and the speedometer would go all over the place After lurking on the forum a bit I figure out it was the Speed Sensor so I went and had it replaced...

Yesterday my lady's 2001 Explorer Sport with a 4.0 SOHC was running like a top and then suddenly after sitting parked for a couple hours it would crank but not start. After letting it sit for an hour or so it cranked and seemed to run ok. She drove a mile or so and it died at a stop light. It...

i was thinking about getting these for my 1998 ford explorer 5.0 what do you guys think

I have an 01 explorer limited, engine light is on and the gas cap light comes on and goes back off, 160k miles, gas cap is tight and there was a list of things that can be wrong according to the code that was tripped. Anyone else have/had the same issue? How can it be fixed inexpensively.

Hi... I was driving the other day and my blower stopped working... I have electronic climate control.... I was reading and people were saying that the blower control module could be bad but high should still work... None of the speeds work... What could be the cause and fix of this problem...

Hi all, I've used this site numerous times for various repairs, this is my go to site. I'm trying to identify my rear axle, need to replace the pinion seal and want to make sure I order the right part. The door code is D2 which just tells me it's a 4.10. The tag on the differential says...

I recently purchased a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport with about 126,000 miles. Aside from needing new rotors and wheel bearings, after driving it around a bit, I am noticing the engine flutters between 0-500rpms. I’ve had this problem before on my other Ford vehicles and it turned out to be the...
