Sometimes we would get a p420 on the explorers and expiditions .Ford had a tsb that said to reprogram the pcm before condemning the cats you might want to check with a local dealer to see if there is a tsb for a reflash.

Sometimes it happens when they are brand new[we did alot under warranty]. Go ahead and change it out now you already have one problem now.Who knows the pump itself might fail next.

I would recommend the Tool Warehouse. Here is a link to the torque wrenches on their site. http://thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/TTW355.html Lots of good stuff here guys. At our shop we use the precision instruments torque wrench and have found it to be of excellent quality.

Ddoran, I too have a XR400. I souped it up and ran into the same questions concerning oil. Out here in So Cal. I found next to Mobil 1 oils, Yamalube always works the best and is usually discounted at the local dealer. I always run their 10/40 in it and the bike has performed flawlessly. The oil...

Hey Mdocod, I checked TSBs at work for the ticking noise on your Isuzu the number is SB00-01-S009. Do a google search enter the SSM and you'll find it. In a nutshell, the cause is not fully pumped up lifters due to contamination.

Hey Wavinwayne, Here's the deal on servicing your differential. 1. Remove the inspection cover. 13 mm bolts. I usually use a putty knife with a few gentle taps from a hammer to break the silicon seal. Clean off all silicon. Brake clean and a razor blade usually work best. At the bottom of the...

I've had great luck using Yamalube products in all my 4 strokes over the years. My current bike a 2000 XR400 with a 440 kit and all the hot rod mods has the best clutch feel with Yanmalube. The older Europeans 4 strokes I had all ran the best using Yamalube. I have experimented with Motul...

On wheels with recessed lug nuts I do use the Snap On tool and it works great. But when I can’t find it I go to plan B, and that is a deep 12 point Craftsman socket, half inch drive and pound it on the stripped nut as best you can and that should work. For plan C, with all the lug nuts removed...

Take off the air intake boot, look straight down underneath the throttle plate and there it is. Some of the PCV hoses rot and collapse. We see this often at the dealership. Just keep an eye out for that. While you're at it clean the throttle plate, Ford sells a great product for that called...

I monitored the live data on a 99 Explorer today and found closed loop started at 192 degrees. OBDII requires that the onboard computer monitors and actively performs diagnostic tests on vehicle emission systems. It is much more sophisticated and supports more data than older OBDI systems. I...

WHOOPS shoudda said rotella!

How about some pictures of the tractor, the smokier the better!!As far as oil goes mystic is great stuff but,delo is easier to find.Perhaps some schmoozing with the local jobber get's the price lower!

Yup, I have to agree with Marlin. On OBDII vehicles closed loop starts at approx. 195 degrees. Running around in open loop just wastes fuel. In California when we have a 4.0 OHV Explorer (thermostats always stick open) and we try to smog them they fail the smog test due to elevated emissions...

I work at a Ford Dealer and this is how we do it: The remove the harness connector you need to squeeze and pull. To get them out, we usually work through the left fender well or underneath. We always do it on a hoist. The socket is just a regular 6 pt deep socket, either 3/4 or 13/16 (can't...
