water

Ford Explorer 1997 5.0 V8 Rebuild. I’m looking for some details on the timing cover and water pump bolts. I broke one of the water pump bolts when disassembling the engine, I’ll link a picture of the broken bolt. I saw in one thread they are 5/16-18 thread, is this correct? Does anyone know the...

Hey guys, last Sunday I took my ’93 Explorer XLT 4x4 through a shallow river. Didn’t seem too deep, but on the passenger side there’s some sort of air inlet that connects to the exhaust — didn’t even know it was there. The second I hit the water, the engine died instantly. At first, I figured...

Started a month ago, we've had some serious rain and now there is water in the floor mat on the passenger side after it rains. No moon roof, I assume there is some drain under the windshield wiper cowl I need to clear out? anyone else have this issue?

I have read many posts about water pooling on the passenger side floor after a hard rain. When driving in the rain, I hear a burbling sound around the sunroof front seals (seems like both sides). I have water tested the drain tubes and all is working fine. I have poured water in the roof-rack...

I'm getting water in the lift gate on heavy rains. if I pull the rubber nubs off on the bottom corner of the lift gate all the water drains out. I'm NOT getting any water in the trunk/cargo area however. I've also cleared the sunroof drains and it's draining fine so it's not that. Any ideas...

Hello we a fair bit of rain today where I live, more than 1/2. when I got back in my car I noticed a few droplets of water coming down from there you turn the lights on, turn on the rear heater/AC unit and control the sunroof (look closely at the black button. when I turned a corner, water went...

Just watched a video of some guy complaining about F150's and said he would never buy ford again. The issue seemed simply to resolve, curious what has been tried or if/how the issue has been resolved. The issue was water build up in the intercooler, which meant a quick jab at the throttle would...

I have a 2000 Ford explorer sport. It has been raining and I drove through a large puddle and shortly after while sitting at an intersection it quit running. It would not start back up, when I try to start it the engine will turn over it just wont start. I have had issues with the starter before...

Okay so I'm a dumb 21 year old who thought he could make it through a flooded road. Learned a lesson real quick. My vehicle starts and I changed my oil, oil filter, air filter, and coolent. But the engine sounds awful (obviously) there seem to be water leaking from my exhaust, and there is a...

I have been meaning to post my experience with this but keep forgetting. Got on here tonight and the top post was about this same issue. So I made a quick video. The only ignition coil I have had go bad was the number 8 cylinder coil. Which is the one that used to get water in it. The water...

I've got an '04 Explorer. I posted on this a year or so ago, and got one suggestion, to caulk it shut forever. Another summer is here, and I'd rather not have to keep it in the garage, and not use it when it's raining. Usually, but not always, water leaks through the overhead console, coming...

Hey everyone, I've had a small coolant leak for about a month now. It doesn't leak on the driveway but I can see it running down the side of the engine on the passenger side. It leaks right below the alternator. The shop that I usually go to says that there's a plastic elbow that's leaking. They...

I've been looking about the interwebs for a snorkel kit for my 2000 ford explorer sport (2dr not truck). What I have discovered is that there's not a company making kits specific to our beloved fords. Any recommendations of alternate models that can be easily modified for functionality with my...

Hey guys, So I have a slight dilemma, last weekend it was pretty hot here in Iowa and I was pulling out some hedge roots with the Ex. :exp: I had 5 to pull out, and everything was going smoothly at first. I pulled the first 3 out with a little jerk in 4-low and it was going good. So I was...

I seem to have purchased a very odd Sport Trac... Opened my driver door after two days of rain and had a river run out from my door sill :fire: Traced the leak origin to someplace under the dash (roughly straight back from the top of the dash fuse box to give you an idea of location). It's been...

I had my truck on a fairly steep angle last weekend and my cousin had noticed a little fluid leaking out the passenger side at the very front of the running board. Today, I had my Explorer on an even steeper slope and had a considerable amount of what looked, tasted, and smelled, like water...

I noticed water dripping from beneath the engine of my 2001 ford explorer sport trac this morning. I have other issues, with now 109K miles, and I know my "relationship" with my truck is about to change from being a great truck with not much happening , to what do I need to fix today or this...

Hello everyone. I recently aquired this expl after the third engine started losing water into the crankcase. After checking the compression showed 180 avg., I'm wondering if the intake man may be responsible. Looking at the plugs showed no water in cyls. I have posted on a previous engine for...

New 2011 Ford Explorer has many issues including multiple paint problems, die marks in the doors, alignment issues, vibration or resonance in the steering wheel at highway speeds. Looks like the doors were repainted in Chicago at the factory. I need to know one thing has anyone notice water...

Hey everybody I hope one of you guys can give me some advice on this one. So a few days ago there was a really bad storm where I live. While trying to get through the neighborhood there were some extremely deep puddles. I drive a v6 1997 explorer xlt with control traction4x4 and i was just...

I purchase a 2011 Limited 4WD Explorer in July. I was recently on vacation this past weekend and encountered a lot of rain. When my 8 year old sat in the 3rd row and buckled the seatbelt, water started streaming down the webbing and I also noticed water on the speaker grill. This has happened...

I purchased a 2011 Explorer just over a month ago and have notice the A-Pillar rattle this issue is in the process of being resolved. However, has anyone noticed a significant amount of water being retained in the primary door seal? Basically, each time I open the door after the car sits in a...

..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 recently had a freeze plug pop. At first, I thought it was the water pump, but then was confused when I saw that coolant was leaking above and to the side of the water pump. What could it be? After some help from the kind folks on this forum and overhearing a Ford mechanic mention it, I...

Alright this ex seems to leak everywhere I have gotten all of them fixed except one. The Rear hatch seems to leak when we get anything over a light rain. I first noticed it a month ago and just thought I didn't get it clased all the way. But last week when I took it to the car wash I noticed it...

hey guys, well i bought an after market water temp gauge and i cant seem to find a place to install the sensor. i found my stock location but i dont want to just disconnect the original one. is there another place where i can install another temperature sensor? thanks, Tyler

Has anyone had this problem before, and if so, how did you seal it properly? If I pry off the old silicone seal around the window, will it compromise the window fitment? I don't want to pay someone to fix this relatively simple problem, obviously. This sucks! Thanks for any and all...

Hi Guys I have a 2000 Explorer, used three fuels. gasoline, LPG, and HHO Two at a time. HHO on LPG and I have had an increase in mileage of between 25% and 45% in the city, very good, considering that Santo Domingo has many in-clogging traffic. HHO generator I built it with 21 plates SS316L is...

I accidentally left my windows down on my '97 ford explorer and now the windows won't go up and my power locks won't work when i hit the unlock button on my alarm key pad...but the switch that operates the side view windows on the same door panel still works..(i guess it didn't get wet). How...
