    I have a problem with my 99 xlt. No headlights at all. Fuse 4 & 8 are good. I can pull back on the turn signal arm and light up the hi beams.

    Almost the same issue with my x. SpeedO yes, Odometer yes, trip meter No. I can hit reset all I want to no avail. The meter turns over the miles, just can not reset it. I went to the local U-Pull-It yard and found one that has been reset but I'm not sure if I want to take the chance for a...

    99 Explorer Projector headlights

    Thank you very much. I will do the header thing on it's thread. I really like the look of those lights above. I also like the fact they are Plug n Play. I did read about the retro fit and not sure I have the design talent needed. Rick.

    99 Explorer Projector headlights

    I'm looking into this: http://www.migicar.com/hdfexplo95bk.html But @ $350 seems a little high priced to me. Has anyone used this in a 99x? I'm also looking into headers and install cold air lungs for under the hood for some breathing room. I read a lot of post in the header thread for 99x 5.0...

    Do you wear a seatbelt?

    Here in the Nanny State of Louisiana. You MUST have one on at all times, BUT it's okay for your kids 12+ to ride in the back of your pickup truck uncovered @ 60MPH on the interstate. Go Figure. Ron Paul said it best on Leno the other night. "I believe in seat belts but I do not want our...

    PCM fuse problem

    I have an extra PCM but not sure you can use it. You are welcome to it. Just pay the postage from Louisiana to you in FL. Problem is I have no idea if it will work for you. It is off a 99 xlt 5.0 2wd. It may be useable if you have it flashed.

    Is FORD DEALER the only place who can read out ABS error codes?

    I had the very same problem at AAP. The kid asked me for my DL and handed it over to me and let me do it myself. It was very easy. Just answer the questions as to your ride and it will ask if it is ABS equipped. Answer Yes. My problem is I get a "ABS module did not reply" Still tracking this...

    Wanted Guess You Call It A Tire Tool

    I’m searching for the stock tool that is used to lower the spare tire on the 99 xlt EB. I have been to every u-pull-it parts yard in town just to learn they are all missing. If I even knew what they look like I would build one. I can not see down into the receptacle to see what it takes. I...
