    4X4 High Noises - Normal?

    So here's the deal (this is my first post). Recently bought a 2005 Explorer and it runs like a champ, and I love it. Only has 40K on the clock. I realize driving on dry or hard surfaces will cause that terrible binding noise/wheel hopping in the front! Here's the deal: I was on a...

    Engine rattle esp under passenger side engine

    Hi! I have a 2000 Explorer XLS OHC engine which has rattled since I've had it (bought it used). The rattle does not go away with acceleration or continued operation. It sounds similar to a diesel or a valve tap. I hear the noise particularly under the driver's side of the engine. Could it be...

    LOUD clunk from transmission at high speed

    Well, I was coming home from school and I was pulling my 4.0 SOHC explorer and when I got to about 108mph, I heard/felt a loud clunk from the transmission area. I dont know if thats where it was coming from but the truck jolted real quick when it made it. Also I was going down hill with o/d...

Recently my '94 explorer started making a growling/grinding noise when the 4 wheel drive is engaged. sounds like it's coming from under the truck...maybe front driveshaft area? I suppose it could also be somewhere in the front end but...

    OK, it's a lifter!

    Ok, I surrender. The knock is been deduced to be a collapsed lifter. It is worse when warm - much - but not always. I am thinking of going in and replacing 1 lifter, as I simply cannot afford to do more. I assume that pulling off the rocker cover will reveal the shot lifter? :( Is this a one...

    Lifter noise or exhaust leak?

    I have a 2000 XLT AWD with a 5.0 engine. When I start the engine, there is a rather loud tapping noise coming from the front end of the passenger side of the engine. It begins to quieten after a minute or two of running, but does not go away completely. I first thought it might have been an...
