2nd gen explorer

Been lurking on this site for a couple months now and decided it’s time to make an account. Gonna be trying to keep an updated build thread of my exploder so I can keep track of my progress. I bought my explorer with the intentions of having a vehicle that was capable enough to handle some...

As I've already posted about, I have a parasitic draw on my truck of about 500mA. This is considerable, especially for its age--modern vehicles might have a parasitic draw of 50mA, and they have many more sensors than this 30-year-old SUV. I've figured out (and am still working on) some of that...

1998 5.0 AWD: Any ideas where this might be coming from? I quite literally just did the heater core last week and it solved the leak for about a week and now it’s back…it’s coming from the bottom of the blower motor box on the engine bay side. It seems to only leak for about 10-20 mins after...

Hello forum, I have been a proud owner of my 2000 explorer since 2016, and I have done ALOT of work making this car my daily, but the time has come. I have had issues with lower oil pressure on idle which progressed to timing chain rattle. Which after ignoring for too long turned in a lower...

Check engine light came on, found myself with a p0420 code. Should I bother messing around with a new oxygen sensor, or should I take it into a muffler shop and see what they recommend? I've had one of the cats repaired already.

Hey guys, recently purchased a set of ranger wheels for my ranger. Unfortunately, they didn't fit my ranger because the wheels were designed to fit 4WD models only and my ranger is a 2WD (hub differences). Should of did some research first :( . Anyways it crossed my mind that I should install...

Local mechanic pulled off one of my heat shields and tossed it; said it was loose anyway/rattling. Said 'not to worry'. Ford seems to have a different idea. I haven't been able yet to crawl under and see which one(s) are missing. There are generic pieces of heat shield(-ing) available at low...

Sup everyone. You can call me Sheepdog just here to learn and teach as much as possible and hopefully build an awesome Explorer at the end of the day with the help of the knowledge base here.:bounce:

Since I first got my ipod, I have looked for a way to use it with my '95 Explorer Limited, which has the premium sound system. My first try was with an adapter that worked off a cassette tape adapter thing. Sound worked yes, but within about two minutes, the auto reverse reversed about 3...

Hi everyone, just bought a 2000 Ford Explorer 5.0 v8 in pretty good exterior condition with close to 180k miles, just changed oil/oil filter, and new tires for now. Now my question today is how can I keep it running clean? How can I get it running better? What steps should I take to make sure...

Looking for some plans for a front tube bumper for my 2000 ford explorer XLS. Bought it with a messed up bumper and looking for a durable upgrade. I don't really like the pre-runner style. Something cheap and simple that i can mount lights and license plate to.

I was wondering if ford ever produced OEM rubber floor mats for the 2nd gen explorers. I found only one ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300580516854?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I was wondering if these were legit or not because it seems like these are the only ones...
