What? I'd drive it.

Bought and installed the new thermostat, all is good now. No more erratic temperature gauge or funny shifting.

Vehicle: 1999 Explorer, SOHC 88K miles. K&N air filter with gibson catback. Problem: Engine overheating, high idle and funny shifting at my 1-2 gear. Problem description: Engine idle is around between 1000 and 1500 rpm. Engine temperature is about 2/3 at normal driving. It increases when...

I put mine in the center console. I got an after market radio though (alpine). I like my setup a lot, though it looks a bit shabby. I put the mic rack right into the dash as you can see in the pictures. And i just wired the power into the aux cigarette lighter. It's a nice setup, hope these...

Sup, I'm in Prescott. Maybe we could hook up some time and go trailing. I know some good ones up in flag. I have a green 1999 XLT, with a CB attenna on the right side with cali plates, if you ever see me around. Nice Explorer by the way.

I have that style bumper and no fender flares and it looks great.

Neon is just the type of color, like neon orange v.s. just regular orange. LEDs are really bright.... Under lights are legit. I have some blue Cold Cathodes under my glove box and steering wheel, it looks pretty cool.

To answer question 1: http://www.dixonbrosracing.com/content/view/7/6/

Yeah, it would really look cool if you did that glossy orange, and blacked out the emblems and the bumper/grille. Here's how to do the emblem: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=223324

Just wondering....did you get your inspiration from http://www.explorer4x4.com/sema99/trailmaster.html ? Cause that explorer looks hella cool, and yours is starting to look like it. I know i wanted my explorer to look like that sometime in the long future....

Sounds very interesting....and definitely out of the ordinary to the common car. Hell, if you do get better mileage, might be worth trying...but not for only that, but the other benefits.

Yeah, real helpful. I tried to change my spark plugs, and i had no clue what the hell i was doing, so i had to take it into a mechanic to get it done. Now with this, i can do it myself!

I am very interested in doing this myself, dropping in a v8 into a 99 sport manual. I can't seem to find Eric's 302 conversion thread for his 99 Explorer. Do you have a link to it by chance?

Yeah, the max setting delays it for the extra bit, which is like 2 minutes.

That happened to me and i finally figured out that it was the autolamp switch. Mine got switched to max, and that delays the lights turning off for 2min. You need to move the slider all the way to minimum. It should be located on your rear view mirror.

I would go with the K&N because with a box, there is still air restriction. The K&N doesn't have that restriction. The downside though, is that the K&N heatshield is ok, whereas in a box, the volant, acts as a better heatshield. I have a K&N and love it. It's up to you. Also, if you go with the...

damn....those are some nice rims dude.

Yes, excellent pictures, i like a lot. Wish it was in english.....but nothing that I couldn't translate online. Plus, the pictures are pretty self explanatory. Good work! Will be extremely useful!

I've got a gibson catback exhaust on my v6 and i think it sounds pretty good. It's not too deep, but deep enough where you can hear it rumbling. I think the v6 sounds good.

Ok, i CAREFULLY inspected each of those and it was fuse #8. Most of the fuse was intact except for a 1/2mm gap that was there. It was kinda hard to see. You usually expect a blown fuse to be completely annihilated or black, or even a good portion of it blown. Thanks so much for making me triple...

It does not have a message center, and what is the LOM?

Hey, my passenger side Low beam is not getting any power. The bulb is good, i tested the power from the harness with a voltage/multi meter, and it's getting now power. The high beams and blinkers all work on the passenger side. Drivers side is completely fine. I have no blown fuses. Any ideas...

I've never heard of that "Hot InaZma pocket".....you think that really worked? Just plugging that thing into your cigarette lighter to help voltage control?

Whoa whoa....I'm from the bay area, east bay specifically, from the hood, all the richmond, oakland shiyate. This is how we roll there. 22" chrome or 100 spoke rims, have bags in the back, lower the explorer, or just lower the back. It's what we do yo, if you not from the area, it prob looks...

That looks hella cool man
