    Oh we love problems!

    How rough of a ride is your Explorer? I had a very weird rumble/rock/banging noise on the front end right next to the break pedal and it scared the crap out of me. I had no idea what the hell it could be. In the end it turned out to be that ALL of my shocks were bleeding and dead. Have you...

    I got hit. Have some questions.

    She's in deep deep...crap. I would get a lawyer and start scaring the crap out of her. See if you can get a settlement outside of court and I would start looking at the 2009 ex's... There is a HUGE MORAL here. If you don't have a license, don't have insurance, drive drunk, get cought, get...

    I got hit. Have some questions.

    TRUE. If you love your truck and want to keep it without it being written off- GET a lawyer. She is 100% at fault on this one. There is now way in hell she should have ever been drinking and driving. If the accident hurt you in any way, tell them. You did not do a damn thing wrong and you...

    Stupid Exhaust Leak on 5.0

    Welcome to the forums! The first thing I'd do would be to check on the side of the truck when it is running and see if you can kind of pinpoint where it is coming from (sound). How rusted away is your exhaust system and how does it sound idling?

    I got hit. Have some questions.

    Cases like this really really make you hate dumbass drivers who decide to get behind the wheel drunk (without a damn license??)..I feel for you though. I agree with what was said- check other body shops and see what they charge, I know that Ford charges a ton when it's not under warranty.

    Before the replacement engine goes in...what should I do to it?

    The placement of the two plugs on the passenger side (not the front one) are SOOO annoying to replace. It took me an hour just on those two plugs with a ten inch extension and a swivel to get them replaced. By the way..if you are replacing plugs on a SOHC, a swivel and extension are INVALUABLE...

    Donner, thank you for the link that will help a ton! I Just have one other question: Is it possible to jump start yourself if one battery doesn't have enough charge? I've heard of guys doing that with like switches in their cabs, that true?

    An auxiliary battery?

    I was reading the explorer4x4 website's article about adding an auxiliary and actually being able to jump yourself if your one battery ever died. The article on the site really confused me and I did a search here and I did not find much about doing this project. Has anyone one here ever put...
