    Walking Dead - 1999 Explorer 4x4 XLT (174K) - PICS

    you can reset the code by cycling the key back and forth. there is instructions in your manual. I think its 5 or 8 times from between key posion 3&4 I did this with my truck right before its air quality test and it passed and the light came on about 5 minutes after i was done.

    Walking Dead - 1999 Explorer 4x4 XLT (174K) - PICS

    shocks wont fix your lean you will need to fix the rear springs. I had similar measurements and new shocks did nothing for the lean but it did drive a lot better. i have tt and f150 spring swap with stock tires and it looks fine. jealous of the price

    Looking for 2 gen front bumpers.

    I have also wanted to make a front bumper for my 2001 xlt. Are you going to have the winch mounted on the bumper or on a plate behind it? like in this thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=368836 Also are you using steel or aluminum? I like the design ryan

    Modifying Ford Explorer Leaf Springs for Lift using F-150 Leaf Springs

    Thanks Shawn Warning to others I got generic center pin bolts and because they are long i used the bolt to bring the leaf pack together rather then clamping and then adding the bolt. As a result the bolt stripped before it was tight enough and I had to cut it to get it off. When I did the...

    Modifying Ford Explorer Leaf Springs for Lift using F-150 Leaf Springs

    Problem with overload I'm in the middle of doing this spring swap and when i got the springs from the 150 apart I found a crack from the center bolt to the edge on one of the overload springs (bottom leaf). I'm using a f150 leaf pack with 4 leafs including the overload. Can anyone think of a...

    2001 wrong exhaust and o2 sensor problem

    Update: I tried wd40 in the connecter which reduced the problem but it was still there. Last week I was able to use a hoist and standing under the car allowed me to get a better look and it appears there is a small section of melted wiring not far from the down stream sensor. I have not fixed...

    01 98 xlt compatibility

    So the sohc in my 2001 xlt has timing problems and I was told the engine would need to be pulled to fix. I can get a 98 explorer with a transmission (auto) that does nothing in reverse. Both transmissions have a code c800a on the side and look the same. Will the transmission from my 01 work in...
