Doesn't seem like there are many options other than making it myself. Any suggestions?

Good day everyone. Hoping to get some answers... I'm having some trouble with my Explorer. I'll start back with the major issue and work to where I'm currently at. I was driving to college from home and on my last bout before I got to school, the engine overheated and I noticed the truck had a...

I understand there are 2 potential 5 speed transmissions for the 2002 Explorers. One has a 23 spline shaft and the other has a 26 spline shaft. Does anyone have any idea if you can determine that from the VIN? My VIN is 1FMZU72E82ZB88001. Long story short, my engine blew on a trip through...

So! Let me get straight to the point with this thread. Lately I have been pondering the idea of taking my Explorer that has an OHV motor in it and swapping it to the SOHC motor. I know that the OHV is much more reliable than the SOHC (I know first hand with the '02-'05s with the thermostat...

Hi all. As a new member I am not very "forum literate" if I can use that term. I am having trouble finding information on my 'sploder as to the fuel pressure regulator. Some say that the 4L SOHC has the regulator incorporated in the fuel sender pump. Others say that there is a model that is a...

I just wanted to start this thread for some basic issues/findings about my explorer... First off: yes, it is a 5-speed manual. Yes I know how uncommon they are. Second: I've got an issue with the shifter where sometimes it just won't go into gear. If I let off the clutch with the shifter in...

OK i had a radiator crack on me. So i removed it, but while removing it, i broke the Trans oil cooler. I replaced both, and started the truck first time, and ran like a champ, but noticed one of my hoses was leaking. I shut the explorer off, and fixed the hose. Was a loose clamp. Once i fixed...

I know there are some comparisons out there but not for this particular combination, or for what I am about to ask specifically. I recently bought a new to me '02 Liberty. I only had it a short time and the engine blew, and it is still in the shop, so I haven't been able to try it out at all...

About a week ago, a piece of wood fell off a truck and struck the antenna on our 2002 Explorer XLS. The antenna was broken from down into the base, and we lost the antenna mast on the highway. So we've replaced the antenna assembly with an OEM part but are confused by the base. From the pictures...

I checked out the service engine lite issue and I got a PO128 code. I'm trying to locate said sensor so I can replace it. I believe the sensor is right next to the thermostat housing. Sorry my first post didn't give the year of my explorer. Any help would be appreciated because I have a date...

Hey guys, New to the forum and relatively new to the Explorer, so please excuse the lack of knowledge! It's been my wife's car for several years and we married a little over a year ago. A few years back, it started pushing the p0455 code, I changed the gas cap, all was good. Several months...

Vehicle is a 2000 Explorer XLS 4x4 with a manual transmission. Occasionally, it just won't go from neutral into a gear (or vice versa). There are no sounds or vibrations in the gear shifter. It simply feels like the shifter hits a brick wall. Double clutching doesn't seem to make a...
