I live in Brooklyn, NY. I am always loath to climb under a jacked-up truck on a city street - you just never know… Consequently, I occasionally visit a mechanic for work that I would ordinarily do myself. On this particular occasion, we needed a routine starter replacement. The mechanic...

I drive a 1999 ford ranger xlt 4x4 it's lifted 3 inches and has 33s on it, when I'm driving at 60mph my rpms run right at 2100, so I looked at the door tag and it said I have 3.73s but I looked at my rear end and my tag is gone, so I believe it has been regeared before I bought it

Hey guys. Just introducing myself, I'm Kadia. I'm the proud owner of a 2003 ford explorer sport I named Ellen. Got her through craigslist and I've been making her mine ever since. I guess I'll use my account to just show what I'm doing with the X. Check it out :)

I have a 97 expo 4.0 SOHC 4x4 and for whatever reason yesterday I started having a very strange problem. Whenever I get in the highway and it shifts into 5th gear the rpm's immediately drop to exactly 2k and I can only go around 50-55 mph. But if I push the gas enough to make it downshift it...

This will be my 7th or 8th rebuild. This transmission is an easy case and rebuild but I have replaced all clutch frictions, seals, and checked operation of all drums and clutch packs before replacing in transmission. The problem before I started work on this transmission was slipping in first...

Hey all, Sorry if this has been answered before. I am new to the site and still working my way around. I couldn't find anything close to what I needed so I figured I would make a new thread. As in the title, I have a 98 Ford Explorer XLT and I am working on installing an aftermarket radio...

Intermittently turning the key to the on position the dashboard lights up as normal but when turning key to the crank position nothing happens??? The dealer said they made the event happen and sold us new keys saying it was going into theft mode due to the chip in key going bad. That did not...

Just getting an 85 back on the road after about 13 years of almost no use. The two things I cant seem to get worked out are a vacuum leak and it seems to be running threw fuel way faster then it should. The vacuum leak is noticed when applying the brakes. The BII bogs down a bit and if the...

I tow a lot of things with my '03 explorer that are wider than 80 inches, and based on what I've read, law requires some sort of identification lights, and the best way i know how to do that, since it would look pretty strange with huge truck cab lights on the roof all the time, i was going to...

Ok. So there are alot of great "how to" guides on here... but I haven't seen a complete and thorough "how to" supercharger install for the 4.0L SOHC engine (specifically for Ford Ranger/2dr Explorer/Sport Trac & B4000). So... here it goes. If you obtain a Moddbox Installation kit and any...

I have a 2012 Explorer base model. Would love to upgrade the standard audio system. Willing to make incremental improvements. Budget conscious. What is first piece you would upgrade and what would you replace it with?

Hey guys, just purchased my first sport trac, well, vehicle in general and i figured it'd be a good place to start on a forum. I purchased a 2005 Explorer Sport Trac XLT for 8500. It seems fairly decent but we've had a few problems with it so far but hopefully i will get them all figured out.

My 1999 Explorer runs rough at idle when could. The mechanic that looked at the problem thought the fuel pump was the problem. He tested the pump and it only gave around 13-15 psi when running at idle, and he ment it was supposed to give around 30psi. He changed the pump, and it did not help at...
