    Its here - Electric Cooling Fan install

    as far as wiring... why cant you use the 12v that locks the stock fan clutch on as the 12v that trips the new electric fan relay ?

    What's the deal with different spark plugs spec'd on the right and left sides?

    i was reading this just yesterday in the Haynes manual, i have never heard of different plugs for different sides of motors.... just seemed weird, but that one poster was saying about the coating being on just 1/2 the plug is understandable with the mentality of ford's cost cutting

    performance chip

    i used the Xcal on the explorer, honestly, is the extra HP going to help... NO the driveability is better, but, in all honestly... its 400$ better spent on something else.

    Its here - Electric Cooling Fan install

    what about removing the entire pulley assembly, and getting a shorter belt? since belts are sold by rib count and length, so it can be very easily done. Or infact get the belt from the 4.0L mustang?? comments?

    Odd reverse behavior

    had the same issue with the 2005 XLT i have. it has nothing to do with the transmission. its the computer and the way its programmed

    Black Magic Extreme 180 Electric Fan Install

    doing the math, if you got an increase of 3 MPG doing this mod, and it cost you 300$ 3 mpg is about 11% increase in millage. (22Mpg vs 19mpg) 11% of a 40$ fill up is 4.4$ 4.4$ / 300$ = 68 Tanks at 2$ a gallon. 68 tanks or 29920 Miles the nice thing would be that your range for...

    Explorer V-6 vs. V-8 MPG???

    dont worry about gas millage, it will only depress you. these trucks are engineering flukes, you will never have decent millage no matter what motor

    My Magnaflow Exhaust Video.

    do the 4.0L and the 4.6L share the same exhaust setup? if they do, i believe you can use that muffler on the 4.0L as well

    V6 sohc?

    58K on my 05' XLT. i sometimes get an odor of oil in the exhaust on startups. i suspect its because im using 5-30 synthetic oil. other than that, i have a leaky 1/2 shaft seal up front, and a ABS / speed sensor issue (3rd time now) i guess for a 4 year old car, these issues are "OK"

    Mustang 4.0L Intake Manifold

    seems like the auto trans likes to hand around 3K, so i was thinking if the mustang intake was tuned better for this range

    the mountaineer got t boned

    i have to agree with you on how these things are built like tanks. last year a stupid little girl on her cell phone was'nt paying attention and rear ended my wife in our 05' XLT. the Explorer got nailed at over 50MPH while at a dead stop at a light. the girl was driving a jeep liberty. the...

    Mustang 4.0L Intake Manifold

    has anyone even attempted this. i was looking at the mustang 4.0L the other day, looks like a direct bolt on. larger diameter runners, and they are much shorter, looks to really be built for the mid band - upperband comments ?

    SCT Xcal help shifting in a '02 Mountaineer?
