    If I remember I'll take a picture of mine......I have been running a custom ported and polished trick flow upper plenum matched ported with my stock TB. I had a mustang TB on, but went back to the modded stock one.. HP increase is noticeable, but so was the MPG loss.

    How To: Replacing Upper Ball Joints on a 3rd Gen 4x4 [Pictures]

    Anybody know why Mood doesn't offer a complete replacement arm? I'd prefer to replace the whole thing if I'm doing it, and nobody seems to have the complete control arms except the stealership. I'm down in miami

    Any such thing as a chip for 3rd gens?

    I got my truck tuned from James, and actually have two tunes.....a 89 torque and a 93 performance. I did notice a little difference with each tune, for instance the 89 has a lot of low end power and is what I use for driving around town. The 93 has the power band up high, but I don't like the...

    How To: Replacing Upper Ball Joints on a 3rd Gen 4x4 [Pictures]

    Man.........I owe you a beer or two lol. Stealership qouted me $810 yesterday for this same job, and told me that the entire control arm needed to be replaced, as you CAN'T just replace the ball joint. Now for $90 and a few hours labor I'll be back in business. Why isn't this a...

    Upper control arms 2002 XLT

    Took my truck to the dealer yesterday to have the "door ajar" issue resolved. Unfortunately, I didn't search on here first and see how easy it was to replace, or the quick wd-40 band aid........ But the dealer told me that my front upper ball joints are shot, and that they recommend swaping out...

    Did you lower this truck with just the springs, or did you upgrade the struts as well? Love the stance, looking to do the same as we speak. How does it ride if you don't mind me asking?

    performance struts

    Thanks Donner, guess I'll have to do that as you can see from all the views and no replies......Amazing how this forum is suppose to link up explorer owners, yet when it comes down to it, if it's not in an archived thread your on your own. No wonder the majority of new members never come back.

    performance struts

    I posted in the "lowered" sport truck forum, but I guess they all have lock jaw....because no one wants to lend me any advice. I just bought some ground force springs for my truck, and figuring that since I'm pulling it apart I might as well upgrade the struts. If anyone has lowered a 3rd...
