My Explorer sits outside all day, I was wondering if you guys had tried any car covers that you would recommend. I usually drive by myself so getting someone to take off the cover with me would be something to avoid if possible. 1995 Ford Explorer, Four door. Thank you!

As the title says, these issues popped up within days of each other. Radio cuts off and gauges freeze when shifting into park, originally this happened randomly while driving. Bad ignition key warning sensor(annoying tone while exiting with keys in) makes it think key is always in ignition...

Hey, I have a 2005 Explorer XLT 4.0L and when the A/C or fan is running, it still works perfectly, there is a clicking noise coming from under the hood. It sounds like lifters lightly clicking would sound like but when you turn the fan or A/C off, the sound immediately stops. Anyone have any...

Greetings all, I was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I have recently purchased a dash cam for my 2017 Explorer XLT and would like to hard wire it. I am not interested in using a fuse tap and would like to keep it simple and wire it in the pillar since it's...

Is there a chance to swap for a different transmission that is not the 5r55w? I feel this transmission wasn't really designed to handle very much torque since the intermittent band is broken. I just want to avoid putting in another 5r55w that's 99.9999% going to do the same thing at anytime.

I want to put a lift on my 1998 V6 XLT, mainly because I think the stock height is dorky looking, but also because I would like to be able to off road to go shooting without messing up my under carriage. I'm leaning towards suspension lift, but I know some people who have suspension and body...

Hello everybody. I'm new to Explorerforum, but I'd like to make a post about my 2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6. I love this car, but recently I've run into transmission issues that make the car un-drivable. I just recently hit 240,000 miles and I've been waiting for a problem like this to happen. My...

Good Evening Everyone, So I own a 1994 Explorer XLT, and I just drove it from Seattle to Tempe, and it ran fine the entire time however it started making an interesting noise around the halfway point of the journey. The sound can be described as a rattling or a grinding, and it only happens for...

Does anyone know where to buy evap lines for the above explorer. My guy called ford and said they are discontinued. Thanks

I've had this on my mind for a while, and I've searched around a lot, but nothing quite catches my eye. Maybe I'm not searching hard enough.. but basically, I'm searching for a very nice looking wheel set. I have the XLT trim level, and these wheels, currently, which are 17s : The idea of...

Hey guys! Hope I'm posting this in the right spot. I've looked around and I may very well be blind but I couldn't find a specific answer to my question so I thought I'd just ask. I have 2 99' Explorers: 09/99 SOHC XLT UQ Automatic (5 speed I believe?). VIN number has the "E". 04/99 OHV...

Hello guys. I have remote start on my 2000 Explorer XLT 5.0. I remote started it today and when i got in. The rpms were running lower then normal, almost like she was going to stall. When i stop at a light or shes idling, The RPM would go up and down between 500-1000 RPM and it sounded like she...

Hi there, first post here on the forums. We have an 08 XLT in the White Sand color, I believe. It has a bit of damage, but I believe our worst damage is in the rear hatch, where there's a massive dent. It happened while my brother was moving the ex, and he made a mistake and misjudged on a...

Hey everyone. yesterday my front wheel bearing blew out and welded itself to the spindle. I picked up a junkyard steering knuckle with the spindle but I have no clue how to put it on. Can someone please briefly run me through the process or give me a link to a good writeup? Are there any special...

I have this 2005 ford explorer xlt v8. I just bought it. It has the check advtrac message and the sliddingcar symbol plus the abs symbol on the dash. Also the truck shakes when going like at 50mph and i apply brake. Can anybody tell me more about it? Can theshaking be related to the 4x4? I think...

This morning driving to work I was going 45-50ish and switched lanes and right as I did I got a pretty heavy wobble in my steering wheel. It was enough that I had to slow down to control the steering wheel. Once I picked up again and got back up to that speed it was fine. I just put on a set of...

I live in kansas and winter is slowly approaching, and with that I am new to what needs to be done to my vehicle during the winter to keep it running and starting easily on those cold mornings. I was wondering if anyone could give me some helpful tips on how to avoid dealing with starting my car...

Greetings...Problem here: "supposedly" 02 through 05 Explorer rear liftgate windows are the same, right? WRONG!!!!! My 02 has totally different connectors for defroster and wiper motor than an 03...even the mounts where the gas shocks are reversed!!!! My 02 has the gas shock mounts towards the...

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good trailer hitch for a 96 XLT 4.0 that's not too pricey? I'd be pulling most likely a tilt trailer (I don't have a trailer yet) with up to 2 quads and a dirtbike on it for about 45 minutes each way to a riding spot.

Good Morning All. Upgraded my Escape to a 2013 Explorer XLT. Absolutely love the truck. Is there a way to identify which Equipment Package is equipped in the vehicle?

My truck was running great. The check engine light came on and it was still running great. Didn't think nothing of the light. Then 2 months later it started running horrible like it wasn't getting fuel and the tranny was slipping. And wants to die while idleing in gear. But in park its fine. put...

I was with ranger forums years ago. 5 years ago I bought my xlt and haven't stopped since. I'm addicted to the mods. I have a 97 xlt 5.0 with over 340,000 miles on her and still going strong. I have way to many mods to list so I will be posting pics very soon. I'm very proud of my explorer...

I can't figure this out. Can you? At the very rear of the vehicle on my 2007 Explorer on the driver's side there appear to be 2 coolant lines. It appears as they are both leaking. Has anyone had this happen to them? Why are they there in the first place? At first glance it appeared the...

Hello, I have a 1992 Ford Explorer XLT. The current issue is that the heater doesn't work. All of the vents blow out air but it is not warm. I let the vehicle get to operating temperature and felt the hoses that go to the firewall and they were both warm. The top one was warmer then the bottom...
