    Metal/Aluminum Replacement Thermostat Housing

    I replaced my thermostat housing a few years ago, after the original started to leak. About 6 months ago the replacement started to leak. I didn't want to buy another plastic housing. I bought a metal/Aluminum replacement from EBay along with a new temp sender and thermostat (190F) from...

    Broken Shift Lever Bracket FIX!

    A couple days ago I put my truck into drive and noticed the shift lever felt a bit loose. Got home and attempted to put the truck in park, with no luck, because the lever broke free from the bracket. I removed the column cover to get a better look at what happened and this is what I found...

    Coolant leak on 2002 Explorer XLT V6 4.0L SOHC

    Found this on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/301319595319?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Not cheap, but if it's a permanent fix then worth it.

    Door Ajar alert when defrost button pushed FIXED!!

    Note: The wire boot, door side has two extensions that gets taped onto the wire bundle. I did tape the wires up again, but left the boot unattached to the wires. I am thinking that it will allow the wires to move more freely within the boot and possibly avoid more broken wires.

    Door Ajar alert when defrost button pushed FIXED!!

    Just the other day noticed that I could not lock or unlock any doors with button when the key was out of ignition. Locks worked when the truck was running. I wasn't too worried about it. Figured I would get to it when I get to it. THEN: I attempted to defrost my window. My "Door Ajar" light...

    Poor fuel mileage, exhaust stinks, my converter(s) are probably toast, right?

    If you have a leaky injector, it would dump fuel down the exhaust right into the cat. Maybe that would cause your smell and bad mileage? You can attempt a cleaning out your combustion chambers and exhaust system by sucking in water through your intake vacuum line (booster line). I know people...

    4x4 does not work

    Bucks? Do you feel like the front is grabbing and causing the "bucking"? Does it go into 4x4 low, after the click, verified by driving forward a little? IF so when you select Hi from Neutral, hear nothing, is it in HI when you drive forward? To get a baseline. Disconnect the battery for 10...

    Changed differential fluid

    Do you have a limited slip rear? If not no modifier needed. Pull the fill plug and let any extra drain out. I don't think you should have a loud roar because of the modifier. Worse comes to worse, drain it and fill without modifier.

    AWD Viscous Coupling Fluid

    I will defantely post my results. Right now my friend is looking into modifying my current scanguage to accept speed inputs from the wheels. If that does not work, he will build me a separate display for cheap. Definitely in an AWD case you want front and back wheels spinning at the same speed...

    Truck blows cold when I stop

    Do you ever smell a sweet smell? If you have a bad resevoir cap, not holding pressure, your coolant will escape that way. Does the top hose get firm when the truck it completely warmed up? Good Luck!

    Truck blows cold when I stop

    Low vacum on valve that allows coolant to flow into heating core. At idle you don't have enough vacuum to keep it open. Just a guess! Good Luck

    AWD Viscous Coupling Fluid

    Installed AWD transfer case I swapped out my 4x4 transfer case to the AWD one I bought from junk yard. Hardest part was getting out the bolts from the crossmemeber. One broke. Dealer worked on my truck some time back, replaced torque converter and they tightened the bolts to death. Also had a...

    Issues with Idling after sensor replacement

    I have read you can clean your combustion chamber and exhaust system with water. Your truck sucks up water into intake via vacuum line, as you would with seafoam. It is almost the same procedure, except there is no stopping the engine until your exhaust stops expelling a lot of steam and water...
