I recently picked up this 03 Explorer with the 4.6L in it, the odometer says roughly 198k. I bought it pretty cheap so I've been fixing things and sorting out the bugs. Up until now the fixing has all been mechanical, bearing assy's, upper control arms, latches, hinges, etc. Here's the deal...

I have a 06 eb v8. Just wondering considering all the vvt issues these modular engines have, such as phasers, tensioners, guides, solenoids etc. How reliable are these 3v engines realistically. Mine has about 185k on it right now. Timing has never been done. No ticks or anything like that. I of...

I'm having an issue with the engine fan coming on under light load (not on constantly), making a roaring sound. When this happens, I feel the truck loses power. It will keep it's speed, but accelarations are weak. The transmission will down shift, the revs go up, but the acceleration does not...

Hi All, I finally got my gear selector sliding all the way to park (removed indicator andf cleaned and re-lubed the slide) and centered on each selection. I noticed quite by accident that the shift lever does not lock between N and D. It does lock (have to pull lever forward) between D and 3. I...

My 2003 4.6L explorer died yesterday on the road. I pulled over, opened the hood, serpentine belt is loose, a/c compressor is unbolted... any one ever seen this kind of thing before?

I have a 2005 Explorer Limited 4x4. I have a new, well charged battery. I turned the key and the only thing that works are the instrument cluster lights. I hear no sound of a stuck starter solenoid. I had it looked over by 3 mechanics, while it was parked at my house, (no fancy computers were...
