I am tempted to sell it for the rest of the parts.
t.
I also had to replace the vacuum plugs 2 or 3 times. One of them keeps falling off, and the stem had some kind of fluid on it, anyone know what fluid it could be and why it's there? I'm kind of a rookie when it comes to repaires, and appreciate any advice. Thanks
TIA.
(Cars can echo.)
How hard is it to pull that off and i assume I need to replace the main gasket (any others?), and what kind of fluid do I need to put in it? Do I need special tools? or can i just directly pop that off by crawling under it?
anything else to check for?
Moderators - you really ought to separate these mechanical issue forums out by model year range. For example, the 6-speed automatic used in the 2006 and newer Explorers (and other vehicles) is not the same as the 5-speed unit used in the 2002 to 2005 models, nor the 4-speed unit used in the 2001 and earlier models. Each should be in separate discussions.
Thanks
At 102,000 miles had the plugs and plug wires replaced.
The vehicle started missing right after this
Replaced the plugs and plug wires again.
Still missing. If it is under 2000 rpm and you start up an incline it starts to miss. Once it downshifts and it gets over 2000 rpm it quits missing.
Replaced the fuel filter and the ignition coil module and it is still missing.
It has been on 2 different scopes and shows no codes.
Could this somehow be related to the transmission? It is not slippage, but a definite miss
When doing a little research on the topic I came across Autobeef, they have a lot of the same complaints....check out this one page it has something like 70 people all saying around the same thing..http://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Explorer/2004/transmission/transmission- _slipping_shifts_hard.shtml
-the transmission control module
-or the valve body
or the whole thing. When is ford going to help fix the problem they created in the first place.
Any suggestions?
#1 disconnect the top line on the radiator, have someone start and shut off the motor while you watch.... or
#2 wait till tomorrow and ill tell you from the chart exactly which is which

I bought this truck new, and overall the truck has been very reliable, but I'm wondering if it is time to sell it.
