2002 - 2003 explorer

Hey everyone, I'm at a loss on my issue with my 2002 Explorer 4.6l... I'm running lean on Bank 1 and 2 (P1151 and P1131) and getting random misfires along with the truck not wanting to stay running at idle. When cold it will run ok for a bit, but then I'll be at a red light and the engine will...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've been trying to find information about putting a Suspension lift kit on my '02 xlt V8 4x4 explorer. I haven't found anything specific for that year and submodel. Sooo... here's my question for all of you: What have you done to your explorer to get a...

I've never replaced the front rotors and pads before but it looks like a relatively easy job. My problem is there are so many different brands and types available that I'm at a loss for which ones to purchase. I have nearly 160,000 miles on the vehicle so I don't necessarily need a set that's...

Hello, I just purchased a 2002 FORD Explorer XLT 4.0 V6 and I think with the 5R55W tranny. They said that this is the 3rd tranny. The OG was replaced, then the replacement was replaced. My question is that the O/D OFF light is blinking but there is no CEL. I hear there should be a code but...

I was wondering if it is possible to put an 2004 v8 engine and transmission from a totaled explorer into an 2002 explorer with a bad v6 motor and transmission. Is this possible? What type of modifications/fabrications would I be looking at to make this happen? Thanks for the help!

Hey yall my explorer. Had a over heating problem I ended up replacing the entire thermostat housing system. Now I'm having an issue with rpms and overall low power issues. I'm thinking possibly clogged cat converter but looking for some insight.

Hi everyone, has anyone ever had this problem? My interior done lights (all 3, front, back, cargo) don't come on when I open the doors, but they turn on manually with their individual switches. Also, the dimmer switch by the headlight knob does absolutely nothing. Any ideas?

So last night got a call from a friend's wife because she was stranded with no headlights. I managed to get it home on the high beams without making to many enemies. Upon investigation I've found both bulbs are good, underhood fuses & micros for headlights & drl are fine, high beams work as do...

I have been on the forums for years. Usually I find exactly the problem I have and the fix for it. But I am on my 3rd Explorer (98', 99', and now a 02') and I can't seem to find the exact problem I have in a simular post. So I have a whine every time I press the gas no matter the gear. Even in...
