All modern passenger cars and light trucks use fluid marked as "DOT3".

One reason is that that your Explorer get such lousy mileage is because it has been "de-tuned" to accomodate the soccer-mom set. Afterall, it is a Truck, with a powerful truck engine. In the wake of the Explorer roll-over debacle of the late 1990's, there are several things holding back the performance and efficiency: Look at the air intake. The box, located in the left front of the compartment has a very small gap at the end of a plastic tube. I recommend removing the tube from the box. It can simply be pulled apart from the box and discarded. Having the airflow restricted in this manner acts like a "Governor" on the engine preventing it from acheiving it's potential. Additionally, I drilled 3 additional two inch holes in the bottom of the airbox to ensure that there is no restriction. Worried about water getting into the air intake? Don't be. I drove home during a sever thunderstorm with torrential rain. The highway was flooded on the shoulders with several inches of rain. It was splashing up above the hood and I didn't have any trouble whatsoever. Purchase a high-airflow performance air filter - such as K&N. They are not disposable filters, so you don't replace it every 5,000 miles. You simply wash it off every 50,000 miles and reuse it. These filters are more expensive, but you are saving money over the long term because you are not tossing out a paper filter every 3 months. Inflate your tires to the maximum tire pressure stated on the side-wall. I made these 3 minor changes and the mileage went from 12.5 MPG to 22 MPG instantly. Big difference in the acceleration, transmission shifting and obviously the economy. I would recommend that everyone look into making these simple changes regardless of what they are driving. I plan on making these changes to my wife's Chrysler Town and Country minivan soon as well.

My garage have changed it at 5213 mileage, which seems very low to me? Any ideas?

Connected to the master cyclinder.

door locks are terrible they wear out and get a lot of play in them you can take them out and pack the offending part with washers to take any play out of them or replace them. $au130 a piece.

Some cartrides are hot/cold specific. The hole that allows the water to pass thru the cartridge will not close because you can't turn it far enough. Some cartrides are hot/cold specific. The hole that allows the water to pass thru the cartridge will not close because you can't turn it far enough.

open up your glove compartment and towards the back there should be a box module its the 5 numbers on it!!

Starting with the 1995 model year of Ford Explorer the automatic transmissions

were electronically controlled ( so as far as I know there is no modulator valve )

You have drum brakes on the rear.

some vehicles use two pumps / one bucket ,if not open the back hatch and it should be located on either side

may be 6x8

depends which one,if check the fuse box on the drivers side dash,open the door and should be visible,has headlamp relay in there,and one other not quite sure have to look,but the other are located under the hood in the clearly marked fuse box has diagram right on the cover,

The timing chain itself is not hard to change , but the engine has to be removed to do it, that is why it is such a costly job if taken in to a garage . a common fault i believe on these engines .

In a 1997 Ford Explorer :

The Powertrain Control Module ( PCM ) power relay is located in the Power

Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) located in the engine compartment near

the brake fluid reservoir

( it is relay # 5 , one of the large relays , in the 2nd row from the drivers

side , and the 1st large relay from the front end of the P D Box )

motorcraft plugs are always the best in a ford any cheep ones

The 2003 Ford Explorer owners manual shows : 6 quarts ( 5.7 liters ) WITH FILTER CHANGE for the 4.6 L - V8 engine

On a 1997 Ford Explorer :

The right side kick panel would be inthe front passenger footwell

It is the interior trim panel , just in front of the front door , by the passengers

feet

Your truck has two coil packs. one on each side of the truck. I changed mine twice on my 99 expedition. I dont know the exact definition of the coil pack, but i know that they are related to the sparkplug and it's wires, and when they go bad they can cause a misfire with the sparkplugs. If you need to change them send me a message i can tell you how.

Hi the IAT Sensor is on the air filter hose, it is build in the Flow Mass Sensor ,it is a plug with 6 wires.

5 quarts (with oil filter change), of 5W30 [V-6, 4.0 L VOHC], OR whatever the OWNERS MANUAL recommends. DO NOT make the mistake of "upping the grade of oil" to say

"Castrol 20W50"! Why? Many reasons, some of which are gas mileage, engine temperature, average temperature (where you live) that YOUR engine operates in, to name a few.

PLEASE: Be sure you drain your oil, and the oil filter contents, into a container you do not mind parting with (IF dropping the used oil off at your local County Dump); container can be reused IF you take it to the parts store that you bought the oil from, Almost ALL have a "used motor oil", 55 gallon drum, that you simply empty your container into.

Pour the used oil down a street "storm drain", dig a hole in the ground and rid yourself of the oil by filling said hole with used motor oil, or something else that is USUALLY illegal, but leaves that much more of our environment "contaminated" for our children and grandchildren!

PS: Ask, wherever you dispose your used motor oil at, WHAT to do with your EMPTY, used oil filter.
