    ? about autopartswarehouse.com

    Anyone ever order from this company? I found them on ebay while looking for a replacement bumper cover for my 99 EB. Excellent price over the phone @ $98.92, seems too cheap...what do you think?

    Your Favorite All Weather Tires!!

    Bridgestone Dueller A/T REVOs I have 2 Explorers both with the Bridgestone Dueller REVO A/T tires and they are excellent wet or dry or light off road, with great handling and they are very quiet!

    98 Explorer Eddie Bauer, Sub Woofer

    That is very disappointing - I removed one from my 93 Explorer and it was simple to remove - just the speaker grill then unscrew 4 mounting screws around the speaker and that was all there was to it

    Considering a 3rd generation. What to look

    The good thing about your search for an Explorer is that there are always a jillion out there to choose from. You will find the 2002 and up to be a much, much better ride with improved handling over the 2nd gen you own now. Off roaders, however, do not seem to like that feature as much as...

    Before & After Pics

    Great Looking Explorer really like those tires - I bought the Bridgestone A/T REVOS because I need a little extra grip on the boat ramp. Anyway how do you get away with such a deep tint on your front windows? It's a heavy fine here in Houston.

    98 Explorer Eddie Bauer, Sub Woofer

    I just recieved a replacement woofer from a 99 EB today that I bought on Ebay for $50. I can see that threaded area in the center of the magnet on the back. Is there an entire assembly that comes out in order to remove the original? Does anyone have any photos of this process?

    Death Rattle?????

    It is my understanding that it is very highly unlikely that Ford will assist anyone with a free recall repair for this issue now. I was told by Ford, that my 1999 recall coverage expired 2 years ago. However I was able to determine through the original dealer that sold the truck,that the...

    New tires Give me some ideas and pics

    Personally I think Michelin tires are good but overated.... but it is your choice that matters. I have had longer tread wear and excellent performance with Bridgestone REVO over the years compared to the Cross Terrain, I have owned both. And the Goodyear Wrangler for me was terrible...

    Looking for new tires

    Give Bridgestone Dueller REVOS some consideration - I have 2 sets, they have excellent traction, zero noise, deep treads, and good warranty.

    Death Rattle?????

    Find the origianl dealer where it was purchased, chances are the original owner used that dealer for the recall, and they might still have a record of it.

    What to look for when buying 1995-2001 explorer

    Just a couple points - Shoot for an Eddie Bauer version of what ever year you can afford - I think the seats are noticabley more comfortable. If you get the EB, the woofer with the premium sound system are weak, expect to have a problem there. Also, see the sticky thread about dealing with...

    rattling one second after start up

    One other thought - If you can track it back to the original dealer where it was bought, maybe the original owner had it serviced there for the recall. I got lucky on my 1999 4.0 SOHC record search that I bought last month and confirmed with the original dealer that it had indeed been done!

    What do you think about the price of this 2000?

    Great looking truck, but.... it is way too high by several thousand$$$. In August I bought a 1999 EB 2WD 4.0 SOHC with 53,000 miles for $7,200 here in Houston, no flaws except radio display problem and extremely clean!

    Intermittant Oil Pressure Gauge on 03 XLS

    Oil Levels check fine each time. I have not yet checked the other things you mentioned, but thanks for the reply. Not one else responded so I guess it is not a problem for the 03 Explorers in general, just mine.

    Intermittant Oil Pressure Gauge on 03 XLS

    Has anyone experienced their oil pressure gauge operating intermittantly? My 4.0 SOHC '03 has 51,000 miles and sometimes while driving the check gauge light comes on and the oil gauge shows no pressure. Then awhile later it returns to normal. What's up with that?

    What known issues should I look for in a 99EBV6?

    Hey guys I have searched threads looking for input on what to be aware of on 99 EB V6. I located one with 52,000 miles - price is $7400, it drives fine and has a clean Carfax. I do not want to overlook anything. I did find a recall on a wiper switch, but that's it. However it seems to me...

    Ticking sound when in slow tight Left Turn -

    All of a sudden, my 03 now makes a "Ticking" sound from the passenger's side front wheel when in a slow, very tight turn, with the steering wheel turned completely to the left position, or close to it - any thoughts on what that might be? I know I am very close to needing a front brake job -...

    QUESTION OF THE DAY: How much for a new Expo?

    Wow Now that looks like one heck of a deal!!

    QUESTION OF THE DAY: How much for a new Expo?

    25% - 30% off of MSRP .... is market pricing for Ford Trucks in Houston. And most any dealer will be happy to fax pricing to you if you know the exact package you want. You will save yourself a lot of headache, hassle and time by shopping via phone and only dealing with the Fleet manager and...

    Transmission

    If 93 was a good year for the A4LD.... then mine is the only one in the bunch that must have been made on a very dark and bad day in Detroit or wherever the h*** it was made.

    92 EB No Hum from Fuel Pump

    Sounds like you have checked the obvious things... I have not had that particular problem before, but if you don't hear the fuel pump with the key just turned to the on position, then that's probably it. You might try the "Search" feature here for fuel pump and see if you can find any other...

    Loud pinging at take off when under load

    Pmill - Mine was clattering when accelerating from 35 mph or higher; most noticable at freeway speeds when trying to speed up, or going up hill. Never did it ping or clatter as you describe from take off. Many threads here talk about this issue, so read them and try the recommended fixes...

    Loud pinging at take off when under load

    My clatter/pinging stopped this weekend in my 93 Ex after I replaced my radiator and hoses....I bought a can of Seafoam, planning on doing the treatment after finishing with the radiator replacement, but now there is just no clatter....go figure!! Maybe the current very low humidity is a...
