OK, long story short. I can not get my fuel filter disconnected. Can I basically cut both side of the line and then replace it with some rubber replacement line and clamps when I install the new filter? This would surely save me that headache and rage that I am experiencing in not being able...

OK, I have been having this same issue with my truck for awhile now. I have had various threads trying to determine what the problem is.http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221638http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=235066...

So, I went over the speed bump that is literally in front of my house, and there was a loud clunk and the whole truck jerked. I park the truck and get out to see whats wrong. This is what I see..... So, I looked at the other side and realized that the top of the bolt had broken off, luckly...

Recently when I would get home from work, there would be a slight burning smell. Didnt see anything noticable (at night) so did not worry about it. Today, I fixed up my air intake and some other things and then noticed a small drop of oil. Upon further inspection there is oil all over the...

Just switched my truck over from PA to MD tags/title. Because my PA inspection had run out, I was told that I need to get a MD inspection within 90 days. What is involved in the inspection? I was just told its a "safety" inspection but no details. I want to find out if there is anything...

OK, truck has been really pissing me off. All sorts of random problems. Take a look, Other Issues Now, my windshield washer fluid will not spray!! Could this be an electrical gremlin that is messing everything up, or just another problem?!

I was on the site awhile ago, and last time I checked in my truck was not running well. It had started to shudder/hesitate when going up a hill or when it should shift into overdrive. After being really frustrated with this and basically writing the truck off, I figured I would give it another...

Got the tranny pan unbolted, now I cant get it off! It is wedged between my cats and drive shaft and no matter what I do I can not get it down off the truck! This makes it impossible to change the tranny Filter! What do I do to get the damn thing off???

Okay, if you search my posts, you will see that I have been having some tranny issues. 2000 Ford Ex Sport, Auto 4WD SOHC. The main thing is at speed, in higher gears it seems to "hesitate" and "jerk". (I have noticed that if it feels like it might start to jerk, I can let off the gas and...

Got a suction gun so I could flush and fill my Transfer case. How do I clean the extra trans fluid out of it, without damaging the tool/hurting its performance in the future? I would like to be able to use it to change my diff fluid but need to get the ATF out of it first. Thanks Kyle

I have some questions about the rear diff on my 2000 sport. I recently had some problems with my truck, Possible Transmission Problem, which has brought the diffs on my truck into my attenion. They (front, back, and the transfer case) seem to have been somewhat neglected by a previous...

Recently there was a major rain storm and our basement flooded. This was a problem because thats where my room is. So, I ran out in the middle of the night to a WalMart to buy a wet vac. In so doing, I started to notice that my truck was acting funny when going up hills. It kind of felt like...

I have a 2000 Ex sport, auto awd, 4.0 SOHC V6. Got to thinking, what would I do if I had an issue with my current (auto) trans in my truck. Would I really want to put the money into fixing it or buying a new one? After some thought (not much, haha), it became clear that if given the chance I...

I realized when I was down at school (May) that my tire looked low. So, I checked and saw that it had a nail in it. Upon taking it off I realized there are two nails and possibly something else stuck in it. So, I took the tire off, stowed it were the full size spare would be and have been...

OK, so I get up early this morning and start my tune up. Figure I will beat the heat, it was about 80 at 7 or so. I started with the plug closest to the firewall on the pass side. Heard it was a problem so figured I would start there. After much effort, my flexible elbow socket failed in...

I recently moved to the baltimore area, Essex to be specific. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get an exhaust done? Also, any good junk yards, parts stores or any other useful information would be very helpful. Outside to the usual autoparts stores, I have no other knowledge...

Recently my driver side door lock has been acting up. As in, it is extremely rare that it unlocks when it should. It would take multiple (sometimes to a ridiculous degree) tries, wether it was with the keyless or with the key itself. I took some athletic tape and anchored it to the "button"...

Out of no where, I was driving back to school and as I hit the brakes and eased up to a stop I heard a wierd squeal and vibration through my brake pedal. This literally came out of nowhere, drove around a bunch the day before and nothing. I am thinking maybe something is stuck between my pad...

I just wanted to run my plans by everyone and get some input. I will start with what I think is most appropriate/needed and go from there. Change Brake Pads Trans Flush/fill New Plugs and wires Radiator Flush/fill Shackles (need to fix the rear end sag) or grab the multi leafs from a 4...

I was wondering if there is anyway to have your fog lights turn on without any of your other lights. I know with aftermarket fog lights you can turn them on and off without regard to the headlights. I am wondering if there is anyway to have factory fog lights operate without the parking or...

I have noticed that many members suggest getting a local exhaust shop to make you a custom cat back rather than buying one. I was wondering what the pros and cons of this option are? I would guess that the local shop will give you a much greater level customization due to the fact they...

Does anyone know of any legal places to offroad in SouthEastern Pennsylvania or Delaware? I am from Coatesville 19320 PA and I go to school in Dover 19901 DE. Anyone know of any good spots here or there or in between??

I am wondering if the shaft and screw mod could be done on your own. That is that I have heard people say they sent throttle bodies out to get it done and I am wondering if it is possible to do it yourself. I was looking at mine when I had it off to clean and noticed how the screws are...

I just wanted to put some information out there about this company and their website. The company is Spectre performance. They have all sorts of automotive parts and a great website http://spectreperformance.com. The most noteworthy aspect of their product line is their modular intake parts...

I am currently in the process of making a custom cold air intake for my 2000 ex sport. My question is about the two crankcase breather tubes that are connected to the stock intake tube.... These are the two tubes I am talking about. Anyway, the question is would I be able to replace...
