    Drivers door lock switch won't lock?

    The wire is the bad part. switches all work, everything works but the wire coming from the unlock had no current. So its either bad between the switch and this module you speak of, or somewhere between that module and wherever it goes. Either way I am probably going to have to re run a wire...

    Drivers door lock switch won't lock?

    When i cut open that pink wire, It was corroded and some of the coppers were a dark brown like it had overheated somewhere. Im assuming worst case and that the whole wire may be bad in multiple spots. If I can find where it ends on the other side I may just run a whole new wire. Questions...

    Road Noise

    I have a 1998 Explorer that is making a lot of road noise on the driver side. The window or the weather stripping is not sealing correctly or something. I have tried bushing out the weather stripping by placing something underneath it, both inner and outer strips, but it did not do a thing...

    Headers for V6 ohc?

    I looked on his sight and didnt see the tuner for the 4.0. Im assuming its the PN: 3000. Either way I found quite a few SCT x3 tuners on ebay for under $300. Now I just have to decide which to buy first, the crank pulley or the tuner. Either or is going to cost me about $250. Thanks for...

    Headers for V6 ohc?

    Awesome information sir! That is exactly what I needed to hear. It sounds like the water pump pulley is something I do not want to use then if I get the crank pulley. I live in Utah and we hit 100f every summer. Stop and go is an everyday occurrence even on the expressway... I think I...

    anyone have a pic of stock tires and 2" spacers?

    thanks for the advice. I was thinking the same thing. Once I went out and looked again at the car I noticed that 2" would not even really stick my tires out past the wheel well. that's perfect. No worries about safety and emissions.

    1998 Explorer XLT Lift.

    Ouch. Guess that's better than nothing. Bet it rides like hell that way though. It already has adjustable air shocks in the back. Sounds like a plan though. What does this thing lose with 33"s? What kind of gears would I need to return it to normal? I got a guy that sets thirds for $70...

    1998 Explorer XLT Lift.

    Hello!! I am new here and I have poked around a bit but as with all other forums, using key words to find exactly what your looking for never helps as much as simply reasking the same old questions again exactly to your needs! So here is my question, that I am sure some of you have...
