So I'm looking at buying a 2001 Ranger Edge Plus SuperCab 4.0 4WD with a stepside bed and 167,000 miles on it. I went to look at it this evening, and it seems pretty good apart from a few minor things that I would want to replace (like the cruise control buttons). My main concern is the SOHC 4.0...

I've got a '99 XLT 2wd that I've had for several years. It's always done quite well with its fuel consumption, but lately it's been getting worse. Took it on a decent road trip over the weekend and averaged a little under 18 mpg highway (70-75 mph, cruise control), where I used to get 20-21 mpg...

Okay, so this is a random question, but I just found out that they sold the 2nd gen Explorers in England (it's kind of funny to see them with right-hand drive), and upon looking it up I noticed across the pond they got a different rear bumper than we do here in the States. See an image here...

So my gear selector indicator needle thing on my instrument panel has somehow gotten bumped right just enough that it indicates the gear to the right of what it's actually in. It doesn't bother me too much since I know that "2" is actually "D," but it's just one of those little things that's a...

I've got a '99 explorer with the 4.0 OHV engine with 252,000 miles. Until I checked the oil two days ago, I've never seen it use any oil. I changed the oil at 250,000, and most of the miles since have been highway. Is there anything that I can do to help it? It's not bad, but if there's anything...

My camber has always been just a little bit off, so when I needed new lower ball joints and tie rods, I figured that would fix the problem (I replaced the uppers about 20,000 miles ago). Instead it's actually worse after doing the job. Is there something that I could have done wrong to make it...

I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking about replacing my shocks and I'm wondering about the advantages of load leveling shocks versus regular shocks. I've looked at Monroe load leveling shocks and they seem to be a lot more expensive (it looks like I can buy 4 regular for the price of 1...

Hi everyone, First, I'm new here so I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question. I have a '99 Explorer XLT 2wd that I'd like to put a limited slip differential on. I don't have a lot of money to spend on it, so I'm wondering how much I'd be looking at spending. For most of the...

If you're short on time, skip to the synopsis in the last paragraph. My front blower motor started having issues several months ago. I was driving around and the AC was blowing great. Turned off the truck for a few minutes, turned it back on, and the AC didn't turn on. I proceeded to turn the...

Hello everyone, I'm a new member here, though I've used these forums many times to help me work on my '99 Explorer XLT. Now that I have enough experience with mine, I figured I might as well help others out!
