    Broken swaybar end link

    So I was installing new shocks today and I noticed my front passenger side end-link to the swaybar was completely disconnected. The body and bottom nut to the end-link are still there, but there is no connector anymore between the top of the end-link to the swaybar itself. Do you guys know...

    Anyone know the product # for Amsoil EaO filter

    hey guys, Does anyone know what the produt number is for the Amsoil EaO filters on a 1995 explorer OHV v6? I've read their cross-reference guide, and it seems to me that it could be any of the following numbers: 11, 13, 15, 20, 34. So any help sorting this out would be great. thanks.

    Dead Temp Gauge

    So I started the explorer up yesterday afternoon to go home, and the temp gauge needle read an inch below the "C" on the gauge. After running for 5 mins the needle would not budge from its spot. Later a "check gauge" light appeared. I hit a speed bump coming home and it flicked back to life...

    Poly swaybar bushings worth it?

    hey, I plan on replacing the swaybars and shock absorbers on my explorer. Plan on using EE front and rear bars with monroe reflex shocks. EE also offers polyurethane bushings for these swaybars, does anyone have these? Do they make any difference in handling compared to stock? Would you say...

    Did I lose some dash lights?

    hey guys, I was driving home from the mountains last night when I realized that none of the climate control buttons/knobs were illuminated. This is that little panel below the radio which has the 'fan' dial, temperature control dial, and 'air direction/defrost' dial. Its a 2nd gen explorer...

    PCV Jar to increase gas mileage

    Hey guys, sorry if this has been brought up already, I did a couple of searches and found nothing so I would like to know your opinion on this idea. Basically it's a PCV condenser, which allegedly condenses (and later disposes) of crankcase gasses which would otherwise be thrown back into the...

    High fluid levels

    I was checking my tranny and motor oil levels today before I make the leap to full synthetic sometime next week. Both of the fluid levels were substantially above the crosshatched areas on the dipsticks. The transmission fluid was about 1.5" above the crosshatched area, and the motor oil was...

    Lumpy tires?

    I just got back from the local muffler shop where I had my cat-back installed. The exhaust is fine, but when I came home my dad pointed out that there was signifigant lumps and depressions on the sidewalls of all 4 tires. They are Sun Valley A/T tires I got for free after the ford tire tread...

    Cat-Back Exhaust Cost

    I'm looking into a cat-back exhaust system. I guess the way to go is not to install a "kit" but to get a good muffler and have a shop make a custom cat-back system. I went to the closest muffler shop and they quoted me $400+tax for parts and service. This includes a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler...

    E-Brake indicator is failing

    The E-Brake indicator light is failing to recognize and illuminate probably 70% of the time i have the E-Brake on the gauges. Anybody replaced light bulbs under the gauges of a 1995 X? I read the post that is for modding indiglo gauges, but it only takes me to the part where my gauge cluster...
