E15 in 97 Explorer
|
| |
With the possibility that the Ethanol mix in Gasoline will increase from present 10% to 15%, I was wondering the impact on my 97 Ford Explorer. I have heard that cars less than 8 years old should be able to run successfully on 15%. What is known of the 13 year old explorer? Thanks

Replace thermostat in 2000 V8?
|
| |
I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer AWD, so it has the V8. The symptoms my wife is describing sound like the thermostat is stuck open (temp gauge never budges from cold, interior heater works but is weaker than usual). I know replacing a thermostat is easy, but how much junk is in the way that has to be removed to reach the thermostat? I don't... more »

Loss of coolant
|
| |
My 1998 Mountaineer 5.0, AWD with 120,000 miles is loosing coolant. I can leave the car in the driveway for 4-5 hours and no leak. However, each morning I can see small puddles on the garage floor. I am unable to locate the leak visually. Also, I have used a pressure tester and it holds 15 PSI for more than 10 minutes. The vehicle does not smoke... more »

Oil Filter adapter leak
|
| |
2002 Moutaineer 4.6L AWD. I've got a leak that is coming from the fitting where the oil filter screws on. It is definitely not the filter itself or the filter gasket. Did a little internet research. Seems the oil filter adapter that bolts to the block has a gasket that tends to leak. I'm pretty sure that is the problem as the leak is dripping off the lowest bolt. I... more »

No fuel at fuel rail
|
| |
I've got a '96 Ford Explorer V8 2WD. I parked it for lunch and now it will crank but will not start. There is no fuel pressure on the fuel rail / schrader valve. I've checked all of the fuses. I've replaced the fuel relay. Still no joy. Now suspect fuel pump. Any other suggestions? If it is the fuel pump, what is a reasonable repair cost... more »

Question about gear lubricant
|
| |
Hello All I'm about to change the gear oil on my 92 XLT with limited slip (I'm at 103,000 miles) The parts store gave me Castrol Limited Slip Gear Lubricant and the 4 oz of friction modifier Ford calls for. It's GL-5 SAE 80W-90. The Ford manual says use hypoid gear oil (the Haynes manual says GL-5) I think hypoid gear oil and GL-5 are the same thing, even though the... more »

Finally got around to relamping the instrument panel in my 99 Explorer Sport. First a few word on the process. There was no need to remove any of the knobs as mentioned on line or in the factory manual. There was no need to unbolt the emergency brake pull. The metal reinforcement panel need only be loosened not removed.... more »
