    Deciding between '03 and '04 Explorer Sport Tracs. '03 is $8.3k, '04 is $10k

    That's a lot of dough for one of those. I ran across 2 for less than 5 thou while looking for my 04 exp.

    Aluminum vs Steel Hood

    Also there's a TSB @ ford for their lack of prep work during manufacture/production 2002-2007 explorers, the alum is compromised to corrode due to not insulating the alum hoods from steel components.

    4th gen hatch on a 3rd gen? will it fit

    I think the 3rd gen looks better. 4th makes the truck look taller. I can't imagine it would be hard to take these broken ones and reinforce them for a permanent fix. Mine is still good, when do they generally break? Just random or when slammed or? How often does the glass break? I can't...

    How to make your Ford Explorer steering column telescope PICS

    Thank you. I read it was a difference as if the XLS models were excluded vs 3rd gen altogether.

    Help! Anyone have a Write up on Aviator side mirrors Install with wiring instructions

    Pics would be great ! That's a nice silver X, be nice if there was a kit that wasn't complained about. Everyone seems to raise their X after lowering it, & one guy from Iceland had the V8 & said the springs must've been designed for the 4.0. Don't know of a good kit, do you? Those avi...

    2002 4.6 auto to manual swap

    Make sure the mlps sensor is fastened in the neutral position off the auto trans or the truck won't start. Don't take it out just leave it in & make sure trans is in neutral when you take the auto out. Clutch pedal can't help. Going to be work regardless.

    2006 stereo fit a 2004?

    I had a 94 explorer with the jbl system & I bypassed every ounce of factory wiring for that thing to save headache. With an afyermarket deck, of course. It might be for that. You don't know what the 04 harness looks like? Or you already know it's not the same? For now I would like to use a newer...

    steering controls - some don't work

    Thank you firefly. Try to clean then check resis, and likely have to replace. Wanting to put in an aftermarket double din stereo receiver, need to make sure all of my steering controls work first so I can pinpoint any issue I have setting the steering controls to the new deck. Thank you !

    4.6 RPM drop when coming to a stop sign

    No gradual rise in rpm at all. push.. push.. push.. nothing, then all of a sudden @ a certain point the truck takes off. Trips the 4wd in too. Not the tranny, completely the throttle It's predictable but unstoppable...

    steering controls - some don't work

    04 with the steering wheel radio controls. Left side cruise, the - to decrease set speed doesn't work. Radio side, the mem button doesn't work to go from preset to preset. Doesn't do anything. Would think a good clock spring is a good clock spring. Or do these work via remote signal...

    Mustang Rims on my 05?

    After some clicks, froader already answered that they'll work good. I'm 99% sure c/b will be the same. Just worth a check. Can always get rings quick if needed. For that price, though, if I were you, I'd look @ other factory/ factory replica stang wheels, unless you really like those...

    Mustang Rims on my 05?

    Jx40 is not common terminology. Find the manufacturer specs for the wheel, either with Google or contact the manufacturer. Center bore, use Google. Search to find our measurement, then cross reference it to what the stang wheel spec is. Can always use a micrometer, or even a tape measure...

    Mustang Rims on my 05?

    Look @ offset in ratio to width, the wider the wheel the more negative you *may* need in order to clear the inside of the wheel well. Use this chart for example: http://www.gmfullsize.com/forum/showthread.php?t=235940 Also, if you're going to tow, you need to make sure the wheels will...
