It's nice to see a site dedicated to the Explorer! I did read alot at Ford-Diesel.com, these sites are great.
Ford just bought back my 2000 F250 Crew Cab Diesel because of a problem they couldn't fix. I then bought my 2002 Explorer.
I had the dealer turn the tires blackwall out. When I drove it home I noticed a little vibration at 30 and again at 50mph. I took it back a few days later and they rebalanced the tires. This seemed to fix it but a couple weeks later it came back. I was going to take it to a tire shop to have it checked again....until today.
I was running about 68 mph down the highway when the counterweight on the transfer case fell off!!!! It damaged the floor pan, rear end housing and the rear bumper cover. Thank goodness the car behind me was way far back. This thing is about a 10lb+ hunk of steel.
Has anyone had or heard of this problem? I didn't find anything when I ran a search on this site.
It would be a good idea to check the four nuts that hold this thing on. Mine looked like it only had 1 holding it on anyway!
