Hello folks. This is my first post after recently joining the community. I have made use of your expertise numerous times during the process of fixing up a 91 Explorer XLT. I just recently replaced the wiring harness for my transmission due it causing it not to shift unless I did it...

I have a 2000 ex north face on lpg which I have had about a month and am slowly working through the niggle problems with her. Was hoping some of you experts could give me a point in the right direction with the following problems 1- when I fire her up for the first time that day the revs are...

Hello Everyone - So I bought a 2003 Explorer XLT. I really do love it. I have a small issue... When coasting and I am off the accelerator, I can hear a wooshing sound coming from the rear end. Brake pads look to be newer motor craft but are making a squealing like the indicators make when...

I just replaced my front Rotors and Pads yesterday, as well as a caliper and hose on my passenger side. On the passenger side, the front side of the rotor was as thin as a piece of paper. I had it looked at and was told to replace it. I replaced them, and I just looked at the rotor, and noticed...

As I continue my Explorer voyage, brakes are next... I am looking at the Power Stop K2722 kit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FKAIQG/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER What brakes have you used recently? Any experience with the power stops?

I recently moved my First Gen. Moved it around the house to the side yard where it sat for a month while my moms kitchen got redone....I store it on her carport during Summer months so it looks like someone is there when she goes out(she got robbed in 2006). It ran and drove fine. I parked it...

I followed my manual for the adjusting the brake but it refers to a threaded rod and an adjustment nut, neither if which I can find anywhere along the brake cable. There appears to be only cables fed through brackets and I cannot work out how to tighten the cables. My description is probably...

Hey guys, I made a new video on how to replace pads and rotors. The average cost at the dealer or a mechanic to replace the brakes and rotors for out Rangers/B3000s is $400. If you do this yourself, it will cost you $120! That is a savings of $180 plus you learn how your car works and you use...

Hey everyone. I'm going to swap out my rotors and calipers this weekend since they're the originals and worn out. I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on changing the hubs while I'm in there. I had the bearings changed in them a couple of months ago but I think it might be time to just...

I am wondering how folks feel about slotted and drilled rotors? I have warped the rotors on every car I've owned, granted I buy used cars, but they typically warp within a year or two of owning the car so I figure I might be hard on brakes. Going for some new rubber soon so figure why not...

Hey guys, This is my latest video on How To Flush and Bleed Your Brakes. Brake fluid absorbs water so after about 3 years you should flush them. While I know of no one who flushes their fluid that often I figured after 14 years I should flush them out lol. Let me know what you think...

Want to start my first thread by saying this forum & community is awesome. I have saved thousands of dollars rummaging through posts & doing the work myself because of this community. So here is my issue: I recently replaced my front wheel hub/bearings & had to reuse my old ABS sensor as...

I read through tons of threads but couldn't seem to find an answer for this. I just replaced all the brake pads on my 1998 Explorer. Now, the brake pads on the right front seem to be rubbing a bit when driving straight and producing a vibration when turning right. However, there's no...

I am trying to replace rear axle bearings, And rotor is stuck to hub. Is it possible to remove Axel and rotor together and sperate on a bench instead of spray and wait game I've been trying for 2 he's now

Hey all, Just found this forum today while searching for a solution to my brake dilemma. I've got an 01 sport trac that I'm doing the rear brakes on. I've done plenty of drum brake jobs in the past but this one has me by the nuts. I put everything new on, wheel cylinders, shoes, spring kits...

HI, I'm new to the forum and have a question about brakes on the 06 explorer. Not happy with OEM, so I tried drilled and slotted rotors and a supposedly good pad (hi-permormance). Less than satisfied. Tried regular rotors from Advance Auto, less than satisfied. Need new front pads now. AND...

Greetings, Looking to replace the front rotors on my 08 LTD. Pads were done at 63K in 2011. Rotors MAY have been done but may have also been turned instead, I am not sure but this was done at the dealer as a condition of purchasing the car. (Getting rid of the pulsing). 87k on the clock...

Hi everyone, I'm new here. My 2011 Explorer is making a "growling" sound from the front end when braking at very low speed almost at a complete stop. I can also feel this in my brake pedal. It's very intermittent but happens most of the time. I've taken off the wheels, inspected the pads and...

06 Mountaineer/V6/AWD. - no warning lights of any sort ever came on. Temps in the 30's and damp outside. No fluid leaks. After 8 hrs at work, started my vehicle & backed up about 20 ft. to load some items to take to our building next door. Noticed LOUD clunking noise & very irregular feel in...

So Here's the deal. My father In-Law brought over his 91 Ford Ranger 3.0 XLT for a simple idle issue. While looking in to it, I found a host of issues that I have resolved with the help of these forums and the interwebs. However, many posts I reviewed did not often end with resolutions or feed...

I have a 2002 Explorer 2 door Sport. Does my truck use the same brake pads and rotors as the SportTrac? There seems to be much confusion between the Sport and SportTrac by many parts sellers. I know that the parts for the 4 door Explorers are different. Also, I have noticed some auction...

I am getting this God awful sound from my brakes at low speed. It sounds like metal to metal contact to me. I am having a really hard time duplicating the sound at the dealership because it usually happens first thing in the morning. The dealership has said they checked the brakes etc. Any...

I just completed replacing my front rotors and brakes pads with the help of Glacier's awesome write up, and the problem I would hope go away remains. After coming to a stop, when I release the brakes I hear a slight "clunk" in the front end. :scratch: I'm sure it's related to the brakes, but I...

ive been driving my explorer with little brake presure and today i drifted right before getting to the intersection. my wife and my 10 month old daughter were with me. im not scared to drive it like that. i assist the brakes by down shifting. i need to get that fixed quick but the parts are costly.
