i have a 2000 explorer, it cranks but will not start, i had it towed to the ford dealership and was told that the only thing wrong was a bad battery.......is this possible given that it had plenty of cranking power, no dim lights. im just not convinced that a new battery is the answer here. any...

I've had wheel humming noise coming from my truck for about 2-3 months now. While I was getting some front suspension work done, I had both front wheel hub assemblys replaced and yet the sound remains. So I want to replace both rear wheels bearings (my truck is almost at 150k, I might as well...

Hello I am looking at fixing a few switch lights that have gone dark. Does anyone have the interior lighting wiring diagram? The headlight selector lights, rear wiper, rear defog, and fog light buttons have all gone out. If no one has the diagram what is usually the problem? A blown bulb, bad...

clutch worked fine then I let someone else drive it and now the pedal works backwards. I push down and it's in gear I release and the trans is disengaged but am still unable to shift gears. Have to kill the engine to up the trans in and out of gear. Plenty of fluid, any ideas on how to fix with...

Hello EF, I have a few questions about wheels and tires. What I want to do is buy a set of new 32's to mount on stock rims for my '00 eddie bauer ex. My rims are 16x7.0j. My first questions are: What is the .0j stand for? And will it affect which tire I buy? My second question is: what is a...

I posted a video just last week about this. My RPM rises and drops when I turn my A/C on. The air doesn't come out cold, just cool. Here's a video showing what my compressor does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OISTsfUp7Ss I also noticed a small hissing noise after I turned the engine off and...

I posted a thread about this a while ago. Whenever I turn my A/C on my RPM rises and drops, there's also a clicking sound that it makes while it does this. Here's a link to the video. Sorry about the low volume. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXyTFq5g-Aw

I have a 2000 xlt that has RPM trouble whenever I turn on the A/C or Max A/C. I've noticed that when I turn the A/C on the RPM rises on it's own, goes back down, then makes a "clicking" sound and rises again. This process happens about 6-8 times a minute. Does anyone have an idea of what this...

Welcome to my new registry. This is my 2000 Explorer XLT. Bought it from the original owner for $3,400. Came with the owners manual, and the paper work to prove it's been dealer maintained. When I purchased the Ex, it had 111,000 on the odometer, a small tear in the leather of the drivers seat...

So I have a 2000 ranger xlt 3.0 automatic that just had a new engine put in 3000 miles ago. Then i was getting a 2-3 flare. o/d was burnt up. Had a rebuild. Still having 2-3 flare. when i start the truck in the morning it shifts like a dream 1-2 2-3 3-4. for about 15 minutes. It will shift...

Let me know what you all think!

Ok My first post here on the boards, but I have been doing a lot of reading already. First I'll give you a little history then ask my question. History: I have had my 2000 Explorer (174k miles) for about 5 years (purchased 2nd hand)and during the past few years I began hearing a squeaking...

A mechanic told me that the rattle I hear from the engine of my 2000 explorer limited was the timing chains. He said it would be at least $1000 to fix. I have 171k on the vehicle and need to rely on it to get me out to the Midwest in a couple of months to do some storm chasing. Is this a repair...

Hey guys, First of all i would like to thank everyone on here for the great amount of knowledge on this site, I have replaced a large number of parts on my truck due to this site so thank you. However, i have been searching and have not been able to find a thread on this. Here is my...

Hi everyone, since this is my first post (Actually the second if I count the introduction one) I'll make it clear. I got my truck almost 3 months ago, and before taking it to the freeways, I decided to take it to a Shop so they can make a full diagnostic. Here's the list of the things they...

Hello good people and thanks for this great forum. As a new member who has been reading for hours around here trying to find some answers to my specific problem, one thing I have noticed- that trying to find problems/solutions for your specific engine type and year model is very frustrating...

Ok, so *normal* depends on who you ask, but here goes... I have a 2000 Explorer EB AWD w/5.0 engine and air suspension. I was deciding on whether or not to keep it and when it came down to the numbers, it just didn't make sense to go for a new(er) car. So now I want to put some coin back...

I have a 2000 XLT AWD with a 5.0 engine. When I start the engine, there is a rather loud tapping noise coming from the front end of the passenger side of the engine. It begins to quieten after a minute or two of running, but does not go away completely. I first thought it might have been an...

So, I found this today(9/5/08) and saw how cluttered it was and how upset it made me. So I took it upon my self to fix it up and kinda make it like a time line. I hope I get dates too :) So here we go please tell me what you think...
