I'm growing a little upset trying to figure out a clear answer to doing a radiator flush. I've posted this before but I just can't get the thoroughness that a newcomer needs to do this. Although I am mechanically inclined and determined to get stuff done, I must stress the fact that I started...

I have a bad mix of water and coolant in my system due to an overheating problem I had about 3 weeks ago. My system is probably 80% water and 20% coolant. I want to flush it all and start from scratch. I have 1 gallon of pure coolant, 1 gallon of distilled water, and 1 gallon of 50/50...

Hello! I am completely stumped. I have an 02 Ford Explorer sport. It was running hot and I changed the thermostat, didn't help. I also flushed and cleaned radiator, didn't help. When driving the temp gauge stays at normal but when you get out you can hear the engine and exhaust ticking from...

Guys, I need your help. My good friend, who isn't very mechanically inclined has a leak on his explorer's lower radiator hose area. I'm trying to get him back on the road ASAP, and need help diagnosing by this video what is going on. It look to me that the hose is leaking near the right (I the...

I have a few issues with my 03 sport trac, my radiator coolant is leaking tremendously but I can't seem to find the leak lol, and my 4 wheel low will not initiate, causing me to drop back to two wheel although my 4 wheel high works fine. Not sure if it's a wiring issue or if anyone has...

So I just purchased a 99 ford explorer I was aware of the broken radiator and I know it pisses our coolant but also the motor has a slight knock in it ? Could thetwo be related or do I have a bigger problem on my hands Its 99 explorer 5.0 v8 xlt

Okay so my 2006 explorer v6 xlt was fine. My dad hit a deer a while back when it was his but all that's been replaced except he said my radiator was cracked so keep up with your coolant every month or two. So I've been driving it around fine, no problems. Even some light to heavy mudding but...

Hello All, I have a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT. Today I noticed that there was coolant leaking on the lower radiator hose at the clamp. So I went out and bought a new clamp and replaced it. Now I Refilled with new coolant. After I turn on the truck there are no leaks. However after it runs for...

hey all.. Love the forums! I've searched the entire internet high and low and can't find anything. Hope you guys can help! I have a 2006 XLT 4x4 explorer fitted with an electronically controlled radiator fan clutch. I would like to wire a bypass switch to engage my fan to high when needed...

Hi all, First post so apologies in advance if I do something wrong! I have a 2007 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer. A little over a year ago, I experienced some problems where I would hear a big rush of air/noise at or near the front dash, and when I pressed on the accelerator, the noise would...

Ever since I've had my 1997 explorer, I've had issues with adding radiator fluid. After I flushed it and added new fluid, I noticed that the reservoir was soon empty after a day or so. I first thought that I maybe didn't put enough fluid in but I figured out that it started to leak at the...

UPDATED: Installed pics of DNA All-Aluminum Radiator UPDATE: The replacement radiator from Genesis was damaged during shipping; had a gouge halfway up the core. A different radiator I bought from a parts store in person had a defect when pressure tested. Ended up getting an all aluminum...

Hello, I am stumped and am at a loss. The radiator on my explorer is not circulating so I intially thought it was the thermostat and changed it. That didn't work so I also flushed the radiator. Still the same issue. When you turn the car on with the radiator cap off you can hear the car change...

Hello Everyone! I'm attempting two auto repairs concurrently. One is replacing the battery cables on a 1994 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.6L (manual transmission) in the hopes I won't need to replace the alternator. The other one, which is what this thread is about, is a 1992 Ford Explorer Sport...

Thanks for reading this, my Ohv X is leaking coolant pretty bad right now. I've had this problem for about 8 months now but never this bad. Whenever I turn the truck off it dumps coolant, it doesn't overheat though, the temperature gauge stays halfway. I always thought I just had to get air out...

Hey everyone. I'm new here but thank you for the valuable information provided by this great community. I have already learned a lot, but still very confused about the issue with my 2006 Explorer. The story.. I bought the car in '08 with 13,000 miles. Almost immediately had to replace the...

After 2 months of planning and saving, my trip to Virginia is in 2 days, and of course NOW my truck decides to act up. Trying to diagnose and repair quickly. SYMPTOMS: over heating within a mile of the drive, even if the car sat for 12 hours in freezing temps; weird gurgling sounds randomly from...

Hey guys, I have been a member since Jan 2012 and have gotten alot of good info from all of your post. But now I have a problem that I can't seem to find any answers. I have a 2001 Explorer Sport with a 4.0. That is pushing coolant into the expansion tank until it overflows. In the morning I...

Hi all, New to the forum after some lurking but I am not able to to find what I am looking for this time with searches. I know about the issues with the radiator in the 06 explorer. I have an 06 4.6L 8 cyl. It's new to me since last month. I bought it with an extended warr. through the Honday...

1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L SOHC 4WD 150,000 miles, Engine rebuilt 20k miles ago. Radiator fluid is clean, no water in the oil. I'm hoping someone has some experience with this issue and can point me in the right direction. I've posted before about this issue (when it...

I have a 1999 Mazda B2500 that is overheating while idling or when the air is on. Just started hitting 104 days here in Texas so I'm sure that isn't helping the situation. When driving the temp meter is at 50% but when sitting idle the temperature steadily climbs to the red line. I can...

Hi there. I have a 91 Explorer that my dad and I recently finished an engine rebuild on. We suspected a blown head gasket a couple of years ago and just got done putting it all back together. Has nice shaved heads, all new gaskets, and cleaned block (all acid dipped). After getting everything...

Hello everyone, I have read through several posts- and you guys are great. I did do a search on the forums, and did not see anything on my issue: My problem is with my coolant/radiator. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer and the check engine light came on. When I did the free diagnostic test...

Hey guys, having a little difficulty getting a bad radiator out. Here's what I've done: -removed the lower shroud (4 10mm bolts) -drained the radiator -removed the intake (pipe clamp) -removed upper and lower radiator hoses (pipe clamps) -unbolted the shroud (3 10mm bolts) and slid it...

Firstly, hello everybody! I've been lurking around these forums for a few years now, finding little tidbits of advice as I needed them. I've done my fair share of repairs based on the knowledge that I've found here, but it now seems that I have an issue that I can't find a clear answer to. So...

2001 Ranger XLT Automatic sprang a coolant leak today from a pinhole in the fitting that the lower hose connects to on the top side of the hose. there is a temp sensor screwed into the same fitting on top... I have found every other part for the cooling system, but not this fitting. Is it...

..it's using water from the overflow tank to the rate of one overflow tank per day (20-25 miles of driving in mixed in town and highway driving and it's not leaking water/coolant anywhere that I or two other fairly car savvy friends can see. It smells hot but the gauge just goes up about 1/3 or...

I am new to this forum, but have been using it for reference for some time. I have read all of the posts I could find regarding this problem and have wasted alot of time trying to fix this problem with no positive resolution. Ok, the problem started when the temperature here in Wisconsin...

First gotta give credit were credit is due. I first saw this mod on Crawlin91's Rig and after talkin to him about how he did I decided to do it and make a How-To on it. Crawlin91's Rig Alright so the main reason I did this mod was to add some protection to my Radiator from rocks cause a few...

Have a 97 5.0 Explorer with some cooling system issues. Today, on my 40 minute trip home from work, I noticed my temperature needle bouncing up/down between midway and close to the H. I stopped a few times along the route and let it cool down. When I finally got home, I popped the hood to find a...

Was driving my '00 XLT in the blistering AZ heat when my AC gradually got warmer. Then the engine produced clanking sounds and I could smell coolant. I pulled over and discovered that the radiator had a major leak on the passenger side (top,side) but the reservoir was completely full. Radiator...

Newbe, can't find links to help with installing a new radiator hose the upper & lower myself (non- experienced with mtc.) I went to Ford this morning and picked up the two hoses. There were no sleeves or clamps included. What do I do next. Is this hard to change? Do I need tools...

I searched all over and couldnt find a definite answer to these questions. My first one is, when doing a 2 inch body lift, do you need to extend the steering linkage and drop the radiator? My second question is, will my transmission cooler be an issue in installation because of the fluid lines...

Ok, my '95 XLT with 294K on it got a new radiator over the last two weekends. Don't go to Autozone for a rad, they don't match up the right part and the trans cooling lines don't fit. But enough of that rant. After changing the hoses, thermostat (found one without the air hole in it...

In the midst of getting parts together for a radiator / thermostat / water outlet job on my truck, the decision of what clamps to use has come up. I've been using the old standard worm drive clamp forever, but especially with some of the ones I have been getting, they do not seem to work too...

My girlfriend was jumping my 2nd gen 5.0 Exploder and When I got under to look at it, there was Trans fluid leaking out of the two pipes going to and from the radiator. The leak is coming from the pipes themselves, not the fittings. I was wondering what the quickest way to fix this would be...
