Is there supposed to be a heat shield on the tranny between the cats on the v8's like there is on the v6's? I know it was important on those and my v8 tranny is starting to act goofy. I noticed there isn't a heat shield on this one. Have searched but can't find any decent OEM pics anymore.

Good morning! I've been dinking with this for a couple weeks now and thought maybe I should get input from someone smarter then me. Lol I use the truck all day at work delivering mail and the fuel mileage is hurting. I'm still pretty green for using The scan tool for diagnostics. Launch x431...

Could someone please post a wring diagram for the rear abs sensor that's mounted in the rear differential? Would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Kind of an emergency as it's required for my job, which I'm in the middle of my day at the moment, and due to having two sensors out the abs...

What else is known to feel like a dragging brake caliper? 96 Explorer 4.0 OHV well maintained. Started noticing it about 6 months ago. Initially out on the highway I could feel a slight drag from time to time. When I noticed it, it would be instant here then instant gone. It seems it is now...

Looking to see if by chance there might be any repair info floating around for the automatic climate control modules in my 98 explorer and 2000 mountaineer. Both units won't turn on the ac and the blower motor is at hi or higher speeds. I have a hot air workstation and capable of doing smt...

Not at home, need wiring diagram for AC System (clutch) on my 98 explorer V8. Ac worked fine up untill around the time I did the timing chain gaskets/water pump a month ago. If I jump the ac relay the clutch(and the system) works great, like it's supposed to otherwise it's dead. Jumping the...

Need a blowoff valve for a 5r55e for part number: 3L5Z-7M203-JA Thought I'd see if anyone had one laying around. $80-$120 online is cheapest I can find it.

Pulled the 5r55e out of my 2000 explorer parts truck that has been sitting a few years, worked great when parked. Put a Sonnex shift correction kit in it along with a new BW EPC valve, retaining bracket and a Ford bonded separator plate/gaskets. Drained as much fluid out of everything and blew...

Good evening All! Just pulled my tranny out of my 96 explorer 4.0 that lost all fwd gears but reverse still worked. I found a lot of metal shavings throughout the inside. I then realized the needle bearing that goes into the sprag is completely disintegrated (although the sprag looks...

My explorer has a mind of its own it seems.... When I have it set on ac or max ac (havnt tried other settings) it blowes through the dash vents but it seems like when I take off from a stop it switches to defrost for a minute then back to the dash vents once I get to crushing speed. Kind of a...

Afternoon All! 99 Explorer 4.0 OHV The short version, has 291k on the motor and still running pretty good (although I did start to notice a little spark nock recently.) I put new heads on it 4 or 5 years ago otherwise the bottom end and tranny are original. I'm a little puzzled on reading...

Afternoon all! A failed compressor clutch turned into the replacement of the entire system. Compressor, evaporator, condenser, accumulator, office tube, both refrigerant hoses, fan clutch, fan blade, etc.... Everything! System holds 9oz of Pag40 oil. Where should I put this? Divide it up and...

A year ago my shifter was really sloppy, bought a new dorman shift tube kit and installed it. I discovered the original shift tube was still good just the bushings had slid/worn out. I threw the original tube on the shelf just in case since it was still good. A couple of months later the...

For a 2000 Explorer 4.0 OHV thought I would see if anybody might have either new or in excellent shape heads laying around they decided not to use or need. Looking for a 'Crackhead' deal on them. I already have all of the gaskets and head bolts. Same thing on a Reese hitch. I'm about 90...

99 Explorer 4.0 ohv hydrolocking & fuel pump pressure? I deliver mail in SW Michigan and it seems like when the outside temperature is 85 Plus degrees out about halfway through my route my Explorer will start spitting, sputtering and dying out pretty bad. Seems like the hotter it gets the...

99 Explorer, have a couple of big cracks in my windsheild and was thinking about claiming it under my progressive insurance coverage but have always been against making any claims for fear of rates being jacked up or getting involved in a huge paperwork mess. Anyone have any experience or...

Good morning everyone! Was recently hired for the USPS and am loving it so far. I use my 1999 Explorer with the 4.0 OHV which is doing good EXCEPT for the fuel consumption/MPG LOL. I mean crap, my dad's 05 F150 with the 5.4 gets better mileage then my Explorer. (I don't know that for certain...
