Weird issue with 1996 Ford Explorer (459k miles)?

I have an automatic 1996 Ford Explorer OHV V6 (2WD with 4WD low and high settings) with 459k miles, it was originally my grandfathers and it's been a really great car in terms of reliability except as of recent there's an issue nobody has been able to explain. Every time I take it to a mechanic they ignore when i tell them its when you first fill up the tank to full or above 3/4 it will not start up, however every time after you get it first started it will not have trouble starting up so they tell me nothing's wrong.

When I fill up the gas tank the needle stops at the 3/4 mark (the fuel level needle will be at the 3/4 mark until the truck is successfully started) and when I go to turn the ignition the engine turns over but it will not turn on until about 2 hours passes by (when you attempt to turn it on the gauge will flicker weirdly and the engine turns over really slowly, and it will not start successfully) . If I fill the tank to about 2/3 to 3/4 full or less it will start immediately though. No mechanic has been able to solve this issue, what could it possibly be? Would it be worth fixing?

I want good bass in my car but I need the cargo room for my stuff?

I have a 2005 ford explorer and the speakers in it are okay but don't produce good bass or any bass at all and I was wondering if there are any good speakers that I would just put in the car doors for better bass or is there some way I could put a sub in with out taking up any cargo space like a stealthbox or a shallow sub that won't take up space so I can still listen to my music with bass but still be able to have my third row seating up and have space to put stuff in the back I could really use some help with this I have no idea what to do. What would be the best way to go for my car?

Ideas to make a 2002 explorer look cool?

I just got my first car and it's a gold 2002 ford explorer. Not exactly a head turner, but it's clean.
I have a bunch of money saved up from work and I'm trying to think of some modifications I can get done to it to make it look better but nothing I'm picturing looks good.
Things like a lift kit, grill guard, camo wrap, any type of off-road looking modifications is the style I'm going after but making a 2002 explorer look good is a tuff task!

Any ideas?! Think outside the box

How to trade in to a newer Ford Explorer?

Ok I just bought a used '03 Ford Explorer the February before last so I still owe on it for another 2yrs. Its got exactly 136951 on the odometer looks good inside & out has a few minor flaws as any suv with this many miles would. I've never been late on a payment or anything. I would just like to trade up to a newer explorer like an '05 or so at an actual Ford dealership & get one with a warranty & less miles. I dnt make much yearly but like I've said I've never been late on a payment plus my credit was about 620 or so last time I checked it should be higher just hadn't checked it recently & locked myself out of my credit karma account bc I forgot the password. So I ask being that this was the 1st car I had purchased in my name from a used car dealership i'm only 26 yrs old & still owe on my current vehicle is it even possible for me to go to a respectable dealership like ford & buy a newer suv without needing a cosigner? If so how much will do you Thnk they'd want for the down payment?

2006 Ford Explorer won't crank?

Battery and starter both tested fine. Turn the key no headlights or dash lights. Changed out multi function relay under the dash, but still just clicks at relay.
