Hey - I've got a '98 Explorer, standard 6-cyl, auto, with about 120k miles. In the last 2000 or so miles, it has developed a roaring noise when the engine is hot and car is idling. The noise is very loud when the air intake is removed from the air filter compartment. My mechanic said there's a tech bulletin on it, referring to the problem as "Moose Horn", and requires a kit to fix it. Anybody ever heard of anything like that, or am I being taken for a joy ride? Is the problem just annoying, or is there potential for damage? I'd appreciate any comments from anybody familiar with the problem. Thanks, ~OC~
