Hello again to everyone. I started in a new business and had some health issues and dropped off the online scene for a while. Things have changed here a lot. As for my Explorers, I got a company car with my new job and the explorers have been dying off one by one, with the help of my kids. The 2000 developed a leak at the rack from rust and wasn't worth fixing and sits out back of my house. My 97 lost the water pump and I snapped two bolts getting the cover off and that sits out back. My 99, which I want to fix started vibrating badly in the steering wheel and theres a lot of play where the driveshaft goes into the transmission I read there's an extension housing bushing there and the nose of the tranny has to come off. I tried buying a new extension housing but ford says they are obsolete now. I can also list the nose of the tranny up and down fairly easily so I'm wondering about the rubber mount. I hope everyone has been doing well and hope to begin relaxing and spending more time in some forums.
