I had a few posts about hard cold start and poor idling issues with the 99' Sport, 4.0 SOHC with about 120k miles. The idle would surge a bit and rpm's jumping up and down, it ran very rough overall. Glad to say the problem seems to be fixed, all though will have to wait for a colder morning to...

I couldnt find any exact how to on replacing the upper/lower intake gaskets on the 99 sport in this forum just for the OHV. Picking them up today and doing the job tomorrow. I somehow of course cannot find my haynes manual for the truck either.... Apologize if I am not supposed to post outside...

99' sport, 4wd with the 4l sohc, about 125k miles. Been hearing a skidding/grabbing/studdering (hard to explain its not a grinding noise) when the truck comes to a complete stop while applying the brakes. No noise while the truck is stopping, just when it completes the stop. And the noise...

Wondering if anyone has any how to links, or advice on how to change the seal. So far alls I have found is a write up on doing a ford ranger and I have no idea if they are similar at all. My dads truck and he thinks the seal may be bad as it is leaking from that area. Thanks

So we always had Aerostars growing up, my parents were a big fan of them and my dad was always quite proud to own them. Anyways, my dad will be in town with me in the future and need a vehicle. I would like to buy him a cheap Aerostar off craigslist and do some repairs and tune ups as needed and...

99 Sport, 4.0 SOHC, 4wd, 105k or so. I used to have cold start problems probably a year ago, but those went away. My sis is driving the truck now and it would not idle the other night when she was leaving my place (no idle in any gear). It started a few times for her but died immediately...

99 Sport, 4wd, 4.0 sohc, 105k. Auto windows have been working intermintantly from drivers side controls. They were working with the door closed, but not with the door open. They finally quit working all together. I got some advice in a previous thread about a possible broken wire in the door...

I just got the truck back from my dad so I havnt had to much time to mess with it, but the drivers side window only seems to roll up or down when the door is shut. 99' Sport/ 4wd/ 4.0 sohc/ 105k. The passenger door switch on the passenger door works fine weather open or closed. On the drivers...

So as life changes very quickly sometimes I am in need of a used car to fit the whole family in. My wife and I have 3 boys, 9months/3/5. We used to have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport, which was very nice but it made us feel old.....im 25 and my wife is 26 now. I am looking for something...

Auto, fwd, lots of miles. The passenger side front and back turn signals quit working, no blinking at all. Also the turn signal arrow in the dash does not blink or even light up. You do here the clicking but it is very fast. Everything about the drivers side front and back turn signals...

Just wondering if anyone has tried these. Money is tight for my dad who has the truck now. Also he is in rural northern Montana and only has a PO Box. I have never bought anything on ebay so not sure about how to get it shipped to him, it says no PO Boxes...

95 Sport, 4wd, 4.0 SOHC, 90,000miles. So I have never heard of anyone on here just replacing or repacking the front hub wheel bearings? Is this possible? I know it is sold as an assembly and I assume I would have seen it by now on here but just wanted to confirm that it is not possible. Also...

One of my co-workers has a 96' AWD explorer with the 5.0L. Around 180,000 miles i think but need to comfirm that. Not sure what transmission that has? He stopped in town this weekend and thought he saw smoke but figured it for dust after seeing nothing out of the ordinary. 45 miles later and...

Well no more Explorer for me, I sent her up to Montana with my dad:( He was in need of a good 4x4 and it worked out best for everyone. The tires are starting to look like slicks now though, and money is pretty tight for everyone. Has anyone seen any good deals online lately? Its a 99 Sport...

99 Sport, 4WD, 4.0 SOHC, 86000miles. I have never done it. I have my Hanes and it looks pretty straight forward but any extra advice/tips on making the job easier would be greatly appreciated. I looked in the stickyd threads and searched but couldnt find anything really specific, and im a sucker...

99 SPORT, 4.0 SOHC, 4WD. I know the headlights are supposed stay on for maybe thirty seconds or so in the dark after you turn the engine off but for the past week the headlights have been staying on for 2-5 minutes. It is not normal and recently started happening, the only thing done lately was...

I just got back from Schwab with another nail in the tire. I really need to get new tires especially for the mountain this year. Option 1 is replacing the 255/70/16 A/T's I have on there now for just over $600. Option 2 is going down to 15" wheels and putting 31's on for around $200 more. I was...

If your O/D light is flashing in your dash, this means you have an issue with your transmission, don't panic. The flashing O/D light is you "check engine" light for your transmission. Cheap scanners like the ones at most autoparts stores cannot pull these codes! If your overdrive light is...

after a month of repeatedly hitting this thing with pb blaster, a chizzle, and my mini sledge it finally closed enough tonight so i could get it out. ill finally have my e-brake back next week!

I can not get the filter off for my life. I bought the wrong size disconnect tool, went and got the right size, i am using the same blue plastic one in the fuel filter how to, and it will not come off. The guy at the parts store said Frams can be hard getting off sometimes because the ring on...

99 Sport, 4.0 SOHC, 4WD, 89000miles. Anyone know if there is a coolant drain plug on the block somwhere. Im going to flush the coolant tomorrow. If just draining the radiator is sufficient (i am going to use a bottle of prestone flush also) then thats all I need to know. Also they told me the...

So this may sound dumb to some of you but i have never pulled an engine before. Does anyone know of any thread with a how to with pictures for step by step of pulling the engine out of an explorer (1st or 2nd gen) on this site or any other. I have found multiple lower milage explorers (1st gens)...

"The outside black plastic cap that easily spins will pop off and snap back on without damage. Inside there is a felt filter pellet. Cleaning just the valve without removing this often cloggs this filter up worse. This source of back air flow balances the valve and provides clean air to prevent...

Not sure where to post this. 1996-2006 complete online owner manuals. For those of you who bought a truck without one like I did. They might have 1st gen there to but I didnt search for it. Opens in Adobe Reader. <*LINK REMOVED*> no longer valid

99 Sport 4.0 SOHC 79000miles. So i just got on the freeway and kicked it into passing gear to get around a semi and my truck started screaching really loud (louder as acceleration grew). Sounded like a belt or something. I pulled over right away and couldnt notice anything wrong, the Serp Belt...
