Factory oil filters by
Alan E. Seelbach
Got a question: I've purchased 4 new Explorers (2 in 2002, and 2 in 2005)
and each time getting the factory oil filter off has been a fight. I have a
oil ratchet(?) tool that fits the FL-820S perfectly, but slips on the
factory installed filters. The factory installed oil filters also have...

Noisy Tires on '05 by
Big Shoe
The original equipment Goodrich tires on my '05 Limited have suddenly
gotten quite noisy. They have been rotated every 5,000 miles and show
no signs of any feathered edges or any other unevenness. Naturally,
the noise is worst on new blacktop pavement on Interstate 85, where
the speed limit is...

4.0L
I purchased my '02 Explorer XLT w/tow package new in May of 2001.
Fourteen months ago (just before the warranty expired), I took it to my
servicing Ford dealer to have them check the differential for a whining
or howl noise. They determined that it needed new ring and pinion
gears so they ordered...

98 EB SOHC, AC problem by
Al Williams
My AC was not very cold so I took it to the dealer and they said the
accumulator and cycling switch were both rusted and probably causing a leak.
What would cause that - I though the AC system had lots of oil in it to
prevent rust? The same dealer fixed it last year by simply adding a lb...

96 radio display by
Ratbert
OK, before everyone chimes in and says "that's the well-known and
well-documented Mach radio display problem," let me say that my Explorer
is a 1996 model and does NOT have a Mach radio.
During the day, when my lights are off, the radio display works fine, as
it always has. The other day, I was...

Explorer Reliability Issues? by
Richard Minami
Well, we've almost pulled the trigger on a brand new 2005 Explorer. What
are peoples' opinions on their reliability? I'm forgoing a Honda Pilot,
going with an Explorer due to my towing needs, and I guess, future wants.
The Honda tows 3,500 lbs, or 4,500 if it's a boat. (? I guess it has to...

AWD front end crunching noise by
bill
1996 AWD V-8 with 150,000 miles. Makes a clicking/crunching noise; can hear
it especially well when coming to a stop and there's no engine noise. I'm
thinking U-joints? Never replaced anything on the front end except shocks
and brakes. Is this a big job? What's it going to cost me?
Thanks,
