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...

Hoping to get some help. Just joined and can't figure out my heat situation. My sport trac is 4x4 and I use it that way lol so here's my issue: engine runs normal and I get heat for approximately 10 min. Doesn't need antifreeze, could there be mud clogging something up in the engine...

My 01 Sports Trac has started overheating in the last day or so. I bought it used less than a month ago. When I first bought it, I was filling the coolant every few days. Now the coolant is full but I'm overheating. I'm thinking it could be the water pump or possibly thermostat housing. Need...

Ok guys I need some help... I have an 04 explorer V6 and its acting strange. I live in montana so it gets cold. Coolant was low and the heater wouldn't get hot right away and would only blow hot air while we were driving. I added some coolant and viola problem solved. Yesterday we get on...

Hi, i have a 98 explorer XLT V6 4.0 SOHC. About a week or two ago i replaced the thermostat in my car. it had been giving me all the signs of a bad thermostat, taking forever to warm up, going well above normal operating temperature before rapidly dropping to normal operating temps. so i did as...

Hi guys, new to posting but have been on here for years maintaining my 2002 4.0. I have intermittent overheating issues. The truck will run hot, then back to normal whether or not I am running the AC or heater, driving uphill or coasting or anything else I can determine. Checked under the...
