my 92 X's brakes lock up something awful in the rain. going lik 5 mph i will lock up and skid. anyone else have this problem or know what the deal is?

i am going to reflush the whole system tomorrow with good old water and then see. if it is still f'ed i will get the ol pressure test. Once again the board hooks me up.

when i flushed it the first time i used some radiator flush. there was a bit of white mineral stuff in the overflow tank. i think i need a new radiator. what i find odd is i will open the radiator and it will be low and the resavoir will be low then i drive and it will expand. i really can't...

S4 without a question. it is a superior car. look into the subaru WRX too. it is 20k cheaper and better performance. if any one disagrees and really want to vocalize it please write me a leglessmidgetporn@hotmail.com

My X has been having some problems with the cooling system. I will look under the hood and the resavoir will be empty and open the radiator and see that it is low. then i will drive home to add some coolant and the resavoir is at the cold fill line and the radiator is fine. Today i flushed it...

I have noticed that my truck seems to be losing a little bit of oil but the 10w40 seemed really like an odd choice for the oil change people to use. any idea why they would choose that?

what grade oil should i be using? I go to one place they give me 5w30 and another gives me 10w40. How should i decide which to go with and which is best for prolonging the engines life. I do about 60 miles a day with 300 mile trips every couple weeks or so. drive on highways and cities. the...

Dead Link Removed how to change auto to manual

i am actually moving back up to NH for the winter and it can get to -30 without the windchill so i need to be careful. i will follow the instructions and hopefully run into no problems.

Dead Link Removed

so here is my question about the manual locking hubs- can i keep them locked and drive around on them without being in 4wd? will it cause any sort of abnormal wear? i would be driving maybe like 60 miles a day. will that cause problems?

what would happen if i just poured antifreeze in without any water? would that cause problems? this is just out of curiousity. I typically do a 60-40 mix but am just curious.

Hey i have a similar problem with mine. I have changed the starter and the starter solenoid. we think it is something to do with the relays. For the last month and a half and probably for the next six months this is how i start my car. 1. turn the key to the on position 2 pop the hood 3...

got everything i ever needed and more. thanks.

Anyone know where i can find a detailed diagram of the suspension system of an X online? something like what would be in a chiltons/haynes manual but online. thanks for the help

thank you. All of your replies have been very helpful. i appreciate all of them.

i have to say i am not concerned about the body but am more concerned about the moving parts and anything under the truck

this does not apply for ATVs and dirtbikes right?

I am up in NH where the trails seem to have deep ruts with large rocks in between. that is what i am nervous about is getting hung up on somehting like that. by the way have you guys seen this site? http://www.mudbogg.com/

Thanks. i will have to take it out and rip around. I just would like a little more clearence. I think i will give it a lift at some point in the near future.

What would you attemp and what would you not attempt in terms of water, mud, rocks etc. let us know. thanks

This should be a new thread how off road can you go with a stock Explorer?

Where in Bethel? and how modified does my truck need to be? could a stock handle it?

Yeah i guess i mean that. lol that is probably why i couldn't find much info on it. How much did that run you?

Mine does the same thing but i think i might be burning/leaking oil because when i check it is low sometimes. I add a bit of oil and it goes off and stays off for a few days. I guess i should have that looked at hunh?
