Hi ST'ers! Quick question for anyone whos any bit versed in the possibility of Diesel swapping one of these beauties! I've got an '04 XLT, its my first petrol vehicle, I've always driven Diesels back home in Ireland and I love how powerful and fun those engines are and I cant seem to get any...

Hello All, I've been a lurker on these forums for awhile and always found them helpful, but this issue has been stumping me for awhile and I want to verify with others where I think my next step is. Please read through everything if you have time to understand what I have done and things I've...

Long story, so yesterday I decided it's time to replace my timing chain tensioners before they get worse, I also had a very small leak from my oil pan. So we pulled the old tensioners out, drained the oil, replaced the oil pan gasket, got the oil pan on nice and tight. Put in new tensioners...

Original motor in this well-maintained vehicle with a lot of miles. Noticed slight overheating occasionally over the last year or so; gauge would fluctuate up very fast and then down in a few seconds, right after getting on the road. Coolant was low, so I topped it off and the problem...

Well, I managed to check the back pressure on the right (Bank #1) side and it was Zero at 3000 RPM. That eliminates the Bank #1 Cat, Crossover pipe and Muffler. I'm still trying to get the Bank #2 sensor out in order to check back pressure on that Cat. I'm sure Ford could have made it more...

A Year ago I purchased a 99 Explorer for myself. It's the first car I've purchased and not a hand me down. Before I had a 97 Lumina which was an absolute tank that just wouldn't die. Unfortunately it was totaled outside my house 2 months after I bought the X. I had planned on fixing up the X...

I have a 99 Explorer SOHC 4.0L and I just did the unbelievably fun job of replacing head gaskets, timing cassettes, and lining up torque converter to flex plate. And now it has come time to put back together someone else's dismantling job mind you of the heater and cooling lines, so long story...

Hey guys, I recently bought tires for my 2000 explorer sport 4.0L SOHC 4wd with 171,000 miles. I put on the wrangler trail runners 255/70R/16. The guys at goodyear wanted me to replace my shocks too but quoted me at $600+. They said the shock absorbers were leaking. I was curious what shocks...

So, I'm not sure if this is bad or not, but I have a weird issue that's started to show up. I have a 1998 Ford explorer sport with the 4.0L SOHC engine, and it usually runs just fine. However, recently it’s been being strange… When I start the car up sometimes it’ll run just fine and...

Ok, so at 160k my oil feeder tube decided it liked the plastic in the bottom of the oil pan, and, long story short, engine went boom. SO. I am buying an engine from a site that rates and sells them relatively cheap and was wondering if anyone had a step by step or at least tips for removing the...

hey all, just making my second post at this forum. in Febuary I obtained a 1997 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition to replace my beloved 1998 Chevrolet Blazer.....it has all the things I like (Comfy Leather Seats,Power Everything,Automatic climate control) and things that I rarely have use for...
