explorer 4wd

Through an unforeseen circumstance we purchased a 2011 Ford Explorer 4WD. With relatively low mileage for a 14-year-old car we felt it was an easy decision. It's a major improvement in cargo capacity vs. the compact car I was driving before and the low price allowed a cash purchase -- and...

my wife uses a 95 explorer 4wd to deliver mail in. i met here and swapped vehicles one day, noticed the speedo was acting up so i checked it and it seemed to be leaking. i changed it out and the next day it was pouring rain. she said she did 40 to the post office cause of the rain and thinks the...

I bought my 2008 Explorer 4WD 4.0 engine new. Have maintained all of the normal issues and fixed issues as they came up, e.g. front wheel hubs, brakes, radiator, thermostat housing, etc. I have an issue with my transmission after replacing the thermostat house two weeks ago. I had the valve...

Hi, New here but not new to installing bearings. But mine keep going bad on this Dana 35 front axle with ABS. The last failure got really exciting with the wheel coming off on a mountain road. It was obvious that the bearing had overheated and seized. I use high temp disc brake wheel bearing...

Anybody know what this is and why it would be plugged and unhooked? I heard it hissing under the hood when hot. I looked at my parts truck and a long hose runs from that part on the fender to that vacuum tree but I don't know why it's unhooked on my X.

Hey guys having a difficult time diagnosing my issue. My vehicle is a 1996 Explorer 2D 4.0 v6 5 speed. Power everything & everything is functioning. so I put the vehicle into 4wd (auto 4wd) i can hear the shift motor working, I inspected the vacuum axle disconnect, it works flawlessly. I put...

I'm migrating from a 1995 Explorer 4WD EB edition to a 2002 Explorer 4WD EB edition. I have 2 sets of rims and tires for the '95 explorer. It would be easiest to take the rims and tires from the '95 explorer and use them on the '02 explorer. The rims btwn the '95 and '02 are the same size, as...

Hello, I'm pissed, help me. Today I went to the junkyard and got a new 4x4 module, since the old module seemed to be having issues. Either this current module is having issues, or something else is wrong. I fully replaced the module, destroying every push pin clip thing on the rear panel, to get...

I heard mercon V is the incorrect fluid to add, despite it being the original fluid? The guy at auto zone said I would be fine but I chose to play it safe.

Currently im running a 3" Body Lift, and Warrior Shackles, With TT. Decided to get some cheap pro comp 15x10" rims with some Micky Thompson 33" x...

these two problems occur at the same time. If I turn my key over and I see the 4wd lights flashing. I can assume my windows won’t roll up or down. Tried researching online. Nothing. YouTube. Nothing. Has anyone dealt with this? I have reason to believe my car is stuck in 4wd lo but I am going to...

There's some sort of ball joint from my pitman arm to the inner tie rods. I was going to order a new pitman arm, but they don't seem to have this, nor does the inner tie rod I ordered. I asked at 2 auto parts stores, and they don't seem to know the correct name for this, so I'm hoping someone...

I noticed I had a small amount of fluid on the rear bushing for the driver side control arm with a small pool underneath it. It is odorless and feels like silicone not oily like trans or engine oil. Do you guys know if these are filled with silicone? Or could it be something else? I've looked...

Based on other threads I replaced the VSS sensor. While cleaning the area before putting the new sensor in, I noticed that I can spin the gear that is inside the transfer case. I am wondering if this might be my issue? I would think it should not spin freely. Any one know about this?

After 59,500 miles on original tires along with a plug that has been there for 4 years.. time for new tires. any suggestion on best replacement tires and prices? Originals were Michelins. thanks

Hey guys, I've found plenty of threads detailing the vent hose on the solid rear axle but my 08 explorer limited 4wd 4.6L has the Diff and independent rear suspension making anything to do with the diff a pain. Where does the vent hose connect to the differential? I can trace one end up to the...

Have a 1999 4.0 v6 Eddie Bauer Edition. 4wd high and 4wd low lights have been flashing for about 8-9 months. Transfer case seems to work ok as did use 4wd once or twice in the snow this winter. Shifts into and out of 4wd low or high. Seems to work ok. I checked all fuses yesterday...

Hey what's up everybody? I'm the FNG. I have a 2013 Explorer XLT w/ 152K miles. I took it to the shop yesterday and I had a few issues that I wanted to run by the professionals and shadetrsha mechanics what they thought or an opinion on what to do. 1st issue: AC pump clutch failure...

Hey guys, new member here. I started out with an 04 Mountaineer 4.6 with an AWD problem and recently sold that for a 03 4.0 Explorer that was in much better shape. The truck currently has 165k miles on it and within the last week has started giving me a pretty worrisome transmission problem...

Going to probably have to remove the oil pan and fish for a rocker arm clip that flew off (on going issue from my other thread on rocker arm issue). looks like it is going to be a tight and hard job due to it being a 4WD. wanted to ask before I start pulling it, any tips, am I going to be able...

Rece recently purchased 2012 Ford Explorer with 74,000 miles the first snow event needing to use the 4 wheel drive it would not engage in send an error message any thoughts wheel sensors possibly transfer case issues any thoughts??

I have a 2007 Explorer with a 5 speed auto trans, 3.55 rear gears, 4.0 V6, 4 wheel drive, and standard size tires, and was wondering who has actually used an Explorer of any year with these options or with even larger tires to plow around 2 foot deep snow from a driveway etc a few times a week...

My Explorer won't shift into 4x4 Auto. It will shift into 4x4 Low and 4x4 High. When I push the 4x4 Auto button it still feels like 4x4 High. The 4WD indicator light goes off when I shift to 4x4 Auto after several trys (button pushes) but flashes off/on intermittently after a short period of...

Hi everyone, my son has a 94 explorer 4wd that he purchased a little over a year ago and we just used the 4wheel low button for the first time ( and quite possibly the first time for the vehicle also) last weekend in the desert. It took about 20 sec to get it in low range but worked great for...

My explorer will not shift into 4x4 hi or low, and after doing some research it looks like its most likely the 4WD control module that's behind the glove box. My explorer had the 1L24-7H473-AH model which is $100-130 for a used part online. I was wondering if anyone knows if the 1L24-7H473-AF or...

The problem started after my 4hi 4low lights started blinking.i was told to check the motor on the transfer case which i did. it wasnt turning. got a new one and its doing the same thing the old one did, nothing when I turn the selector switch. Now I am being told its the gem module thats bad.

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a 98 explorer eddie bauer 4wd with 188,244 miles. I got it for dirt cheap. When I got it, I noticed the abs light was on. But the car was undriveable due to having no tags. So I got it towed home. Once I got my tags, I cranked it up checked all the bells and...

I swear everyone is going to get sick of hearing from me eventually. Planning on the maintenance, but wanted to get some feedback on this one issue: Going down the road the "Auto 4wd" is supposed to be able to be engaged "on the fly". (not the 4wd low range. I've not tempted fate with...

Hi, I am new here and could use some help. I bought an Explorer XLT new in 1993. It has been a great vehicle! It now has 114k miles on it, which, I know, is low. I did not know that I should have been using my 4wd at least once a month. I have used it on cross country trips, and once in a...

I've got a 94 Explorer, automatic hubs, just bought the vehicle, it's actually in great shape. Drives well, today I decided to see if the 4WD worked. I have a fairly steep driveway and yes it's dirt. I engaged the 4WD the light lit up. When I started up the hill it there was a couple clunks and...
