    Growling from front end 99 Eddie Bauer with auto 4x4

    I have a 99 EB Explorer with a growling noise coming from the front end, I took the pass tire off to check the wheel bearing and the wheel bearing seems to be fine didn't have any wiggle when I jacked it up, from the posts I've seen possibly related to the cv, or transfer case. The best way I...

    Is this my power steering pump?

    So my previous post was asking about how to replace the pump and I was going to but my friend told me it could simply just be the pulley. I did it and it’s still making noise and now I’m idling high. So I’m assuming it was my original idea that was my pump failing. Btw 1999 5.0 Explorer.

    Broken ECT?

    So a couple months ago I asked about a broken thermostat. My trucks internal temperature wouldn’t move past 145 and the gauge inside the truck wouldn’t really move past the C unless I turnt the AC on. Now with the new thermostat the trucks internal temperature is 160-165 which is still low and...

    Seized Injectors

    When I tell you that all 8 of my injectors are seized inside of my engine I’m not lying. I’ve gotten 3 out but they’ve taken about 30-45 mins each of careful prying and penetration fluid. I stopped at 3 because the next one I tried working on really did not want to budge and I thought I’d come...

    1999 Explorer Fuel Pump

    Unfortunately it’s fuel pump time. I pretty much know how to do fuel pumps but I’ve never done it on my own truck. Anything I should look out for in particular? I know that lock ring thing on top of the pump assembly is most definitely going to be rusted beyond belief is there anything I can do...

    1999 Explorer Axle Shaft Replacement

    So this is basically a part two to my wanting to replace rear end post of my truck. The main issue is my rear pass wheel now wobbles after I spun out due to a blowout and hitting a curb. A lot of people said to inspect the axle shaft itself as opposed to replacing rear end. The issue is the diff...

    1999 Explorer Rear Door Doesn’t Open

    So basically the door from the outside will not open by itself. The only way to open the door is to use both the inside and outside handles at the same time. Also if you pull the inside handle with all of your force a couple times the door will eventually open. A weird issue with the door is the...

    Hey guys, so I have a 1999 Ford Explorer, and it makes a really loud grinding noise when I turn left, and shakes when I reach higher speeds over 55 MPH. I've been doing a little research, and thinking it may be the CV Joint/Axle. Think that might be the right diagnosis? If so, how would I know...
