97 4 Door Explorer 2WD I need new brakes and one of my rotors is just BEAT DOWN, so I figures I'd go with a cross-drilled rotor for a little sportier look (I have rims that show a lot of the rotor) My questions: 1) Anyone have links besides Stillen. I'm looking to spend ~200 dollars if...

Hey guys, I'm looking to do an upgarde to HID's in my 1997 4 Door Ex. I have a friend who runs an automotive parts warehouse and he gets these kits, and I can get a VERY good deal on them. I just want to make sure they are at least REAL HID's. I see the 9007 on the bulnb box, but that just...

97 Explorer XLT, 4.0 SOHC, 5 Speed Auto Just got a brand new tranny from Ford installed about a month ago. I was having issues with the OD light flashing sometimes, and when it was flashing, the shifts were a lot harder, and very sporadic (like the TC was locking up in 2nd every once in a...

97 Explorer, 4.0 SOHC w/ 5R55E auto trans. I just gota a brand new tranny dirct from Ford and had installed Monday. .Last night I noticed that my Overdrive light was flashing constantly. I also noticed that I couldn't toggle O/D on/off with the steering stalk button. The shifts seem a lot...

It's almost like teh sun faded one of my headlights. I can take pics tomorrow if anyone needs to see what I'm talking about. I almost want to just take steel wool to it, but there is a white haze over it and I'd like to get it off if possible, anyone else ever experienced this? What removes it...

Getting a new tranny and radiator, and since it all started because I bottomed the front end out and cracked the tranny cooler, I figure I might as well do shocks too. My truck is lowered about 2" in the front via torsion bars, and lowered with ~700 pounds of stereo in the rear :D . I'd like to...

Cliff Notes: 1. Lowered Front of Explorer via Torsion bars to offset massive rear dip from my stereo 2. Went over speed bump in neighboorhood a few times too fast and bottomed out 3. Tranny cooler built into radiator cracked 4. Radiator fluid and Tranny fluid mixed 5. Tranny was being...

Well I lowered my truck in the front with a torsion bar adjustment and over the last couple of weeks I have inadvertantly gone over the speed "mountain" in my neighborhood a little fast and bottomed the truck out in the front. About a week a go I noticed tranny fluid on the ground and after...

Now that my stereo is done it's time to start workin gon the interior. I currently have a Balck Exterior/Grey Leather interior. I'd like to do bucket seats in the back. I know Expo 5.0 did his, but I can't seem to get any details on it. Has anyone made this sawp yet? what year seats are...

Wow, what a nutty weekend. I figure this belongs here since I have an audio system in my Explorer, and I took pics of some other Explorers as well :) We got in on Sat afternoon and watched qualifying rounds and took in the scenery. Very impressive amount of cutsom vehicles. My friend Shawn...

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. I'm staying with my friends in the Hotel right across the street from the convention center. Any other Explorer owners going? I can't be the only one to represent what great stereo enclosures our trucks make :)

Well it's slipping a tad, but the major thing I notice is that I live on a tad of a hil (maybe 5% grade). If I sit at the edge of the neighborhood waiting to pull into traffic and take my foot off the brake, the truck rolls backwards.. Now, while it's fun to make my truck look like a manual...

Hey gang, My 97 4.0 SOHC Explorer just isn't cutting the mustard. Ford informed me my tranny is shot and needs replacement. Due to this, and me not being able to sell my truck (huge stereo permanantly mounted) I am looking into an engine/tranny overhall. The 4.0 SOHC has ZERO torque if ya ask...
