    One Side HID Not Working

    I have a similar problem with my HID kit from The Retrofit Source (Morimoto 9005, 55w HID w/wire harness). When I first turn on the lights only one side (driver side) turns on. I have to turn the lights off and turn them back on and then the passenger light comes on. I've replaced both bulbs...

    PTU and Rear Diff Fluid Change - 2011 Explorer XLT

    I have a 2014 Ford Explorer Sport 3.5 Ecoboost (47k miles) and mine does have drain plug. I believe depending on the model some PTU's might or might not have drain plug. I was able to drain most of the fluid through the drain plug and used a fluid extractor that pulled maybe another 2-3 ounces...

    Running an OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the 3.5L Ecoboost

    Instead of putting an OCC is there a way to have the PVC vent to atmosphere. I think this would solve a lot of problems...for "off-road" use.

    Warning To All Ford Ecoboost Owners!

    I thought about this mod to but I can't seem to find anybody that has done it or can provide any feedback on the pros/cons. I also thought about using a new product from CRC that supposed to clean air intake and turbos and if anybody has used it.

    Exhaust Options for the Sport

    I agree with you on how mellow the Magnaflows sound. There's another video on YouTube with an Explorer and Flowmaster's.

    Exhaust Options for the Sport

    I removed the secondary cat and resonator and replaced it with a "cheap" 2.25" x-pipe from Amazon but left the rear mufflers and honestly the small bump in deep tone is very nice. Sorry I didn't upload a video or pictures. I've read mix reviews regarding the Gibson axle back exhaust system so...

    Resonator Removal on Sport

    Ok, so I finally removed the secondary cat (basically hollow piece of pipe with a screen inside) and resonator and replaced with an x-pipe. There's definitely a subtly sound increase. There's no drone with the x-pipe installed and the start up sounds a lot nicer than before, Obviously, if you...

    How many catalytic converters on a Sport?

    So, if it's not listed as a third cat what's its purpose? I'm thinking of removing the "third cat" and resonator and replacing with x-pipe. Thoughts?

    Did you replace your resonator with an x-pipe or just straight pipes?

    Resonator Removal on Sport

    I'm thinking of doing a similar mod but instead of an x-pipe I want to install a custom made h-pipe. Did your muffler guy give you any advice on installing an h-pipe. I've read that h-pipe give a car a more deeper muscle car sound.

    Exhaust Options for the Sport

    I have a 2014 Ford Explorer Sport. It sounds really nice when I first start it up but then it is so quiet. I want to give it small increase in the sound. I read numerous threads regarding the removal of the resonator. I read a lot stuff regarding removing resonators. Some people said it is bad...

    Resonator Removal on Sport

    If you look at the Livernois website and look at their cat-back for the Ford Explorer it doesn't look like it has a resonator. I'm starting to wonder if it is a market strategy to get people to buy their products.
