Replying to: redddogg (Jan 20, 2008 9:17 am) not sure you can on those older explorers..on the later models there is a brown wire that can be bypassed ....I have seen the shift motors on ebay for around 140.00 ..Ford wants 450.00..that is what I would do it is easier then trying to modify your truck.

#40 of 88 2000 Ford Explorer 4wd Shocks by nettles Jan 29, 2008 (6:52 pm)
I have a 2000 ford explorer 4wd since 2001 and it has 70K miles on it. It has always had a rough ride when turning into driveways etc and it rocks you all over the car. It has a very stiff suspension overall. I would like to fix this and am thinking it might be shocks. What would you recommend to fix this problem and what shocks would you recommend. We don't tow a boat but if we did it would be no bigger than 18 feet. Replies to this message: fillr68 (Jan 29, 2008 11:08 pm)

Replying to: nettles (Jan 29, 2008 6:52 pm) well my truck is a 99 ...same as yours...I changed my front shocks only because of the hard ride it had on bumps...that was at 100.000 miles....I bought a monroe gas shock very close to the diameter of the orginal Ford shock...the best way is to remove a shock an take with you when you buy your new ones...match for diameter size...some replacement shocks are smaller in diameter..meaning a cheaper shock and ride...and just the front shock change was a night and day difference,,,,,,,hope this helps...

#44 of 88 On Demand 4WD by pckid Feb 13, 2008 (1:54 am)
I have been looking at some used Explorers. I have asked the dealers that are selling these if they are on demand 4WD but they don't know if the ones they have do. How can you tell by looking if the car has this feature?   I had a company Explorer that had On Demand and I traveled to some remote radio tower sites in all weather conditions and never got stuck so I would like that option if I can find a vehicle with it.   Thanks   Gary
#45 of 88 1999 explorer 4x4 is stuck by jonboymv Feb 29, 2008 (6:55 pm)
My truck is stuck on 4 high. I have the switch on auto which is my only 2wd option. I have tried putting the truck in neutral and switching it but that doesn't work .I just put brand new tires on it to see if that would help but it didn't. Can someone please help me!!!!
#46 of 88 1999 explorer 4x4 is stuck by fillr68 Mar 02, 2008 (3:43 pm)
are all the tires the same size??? are the front tires balanced ???..its does matter....otherwise it maybe your shiftmotor...you can unhook the motor..or you can remove the front driveshaft...I had a unbalanced tire that caused this...any front end vibration can cause the auto 4 wheel drive to engage....hope this helps Replies to this message: jonboymv (Mar 02, 2008 9:38 pm)
