My 20 year old son is looking at an AWD 2001 V8 Eddie Baurer Explorer. I don't know much about the AWD. How reliable is it? What are the typical problems and what to look for on a used truck? Can/should it be lifted a little? It only has 77,000 miles and is a one owner. Can you get a standard...

I have a chance to buy 4) chrome 18 inch Cobra wheels for real cheap. He is about ready to pawn them. Will they fit a 98 X? Mines stock hight for now but I would like to lower it. Any pics of 18 inch wheels installed would also be appreciated.

Does anyone know if the EGR passage has to be in the center of the upper and lower intakes for a 98? Mine has the passages but I have seen 99 and 2001's listed on EBAY and some do and some do not. I am only bidding on ones that look like mine but if it doesn't matter then I could double my...

Thanks, I have been looking at Ebay and in fact missed one today by about three bucks at the last minute. Watching the next one but it still has several days left.

Anyone got an upper intake for a 98 V8 they want to sell? Found a major crack in the front runner of mine. I plan to have a good welding shop look at it tomorrow. I have started looking just in case mine can't be repaired. You can email me at msnglinc@bellsouth.net with specifics. Dave

To search for the source of my apparent vacuum leak and misfiring among other trouble codes I pulled the upper intake. I am sure I found the leak since the front runner has a crack in it. Since the intake is off should I replace the injectors now? The truck has 190K on it and has always run well...

Will an upper intake from a 97 V8 Mountainer work on my 98 V8 Explorer? Junkyard guy says it won't. Says it only fits the 96-97. Mine is a very early production 98. By the pics it doesn't appear to have bolt on elbow. Is this a problem? Found a crack in mine and this is probably contributing to...

A little background, 98 V8 2wd torque monster headers, 1 inch spacer, trans go shift kit, 189K miles. Has been running fine until yesterday. Has a miss when going down the road especially under a load. Hard to hear it when just idleing. Seems to free rev fine. Check engine light came on and then...

2004 limited, turn signals will flash once maybe twice then quit. Doesn't matter if your using left or right. The hazard flashers work and all the lights are good. I can hear the relay working under the dash and even the trailer, left and right, relays under the hood when the hazards are on...

Went to the body shop after work today. They have the most of the front end off. Radiator support isn't real bad. It looks to be pushed back on the right by about a half to three quarter of an inch. This is right at the top. The hood still latches even though it is pushed back. I know the...

Hood, right fender, right sidelights in front, all of them including plug assemblies, radiator support pushed back, radiator, which was a new aluminum unit, all the plastic parts behind the grill and the grill. I can do all the work myself including paint but not sure if it's it worth it. Don't...

First for a little background. 98 V8 XLT, leather interior loaded with almost all options. 186,000 miles and never had to touch anything on the it. I have installed the highly recommended headers, the 1in spacer and TransGo shift kit for great improvements and love the damn thing. Now the...

do you have sound clip of the mac cat back? Still considering my options and would like to hear the mac. They are loud on my buddies stang but not sure what they would be on an X.

I want to get a new exhaust on my 98 5.0 since my TMH headers are done. I have seen ALL the posts about mufflers. I have decided to do the FloPro or Magnflow but would like to hear one if anybody has either of the two I listed. Please post a sound clip if ya got one. Also talked to a Bassani rep...

Quick update, coming home today the check engine light came on. Stopped at Autozone and had them read codes. 171 and 174 bank 1 and bank 2 lean. Had him reset and they did not come back on. Short trip from there to home. Anybody got a little help here? Is it in the wrong forum?

Ok, for the good news. I just finished my TMH install along with a 1" phenolic spacer on the intake. This cured the check engine light due to EGR codes and fixed the bad exhaust leak that was from a broken EGR tube. :thumbsup: Now for the bad news, :thumbdwn: I had a chugging or loping idle at...

Currently working on my installation of the TMH's. Came back to read this write up again and couldn't figure out why everbody was having so much trouble with the passenger side collector, mine was a breeze with a long extension. Of course the earlier post kinda cleared that up. Now the motor...

I just ordered my Torque Monster headers Monday.:D I got them with the modified EGR tube for an upper plenum spacer. I want to add an upper intake spacer when I do the headers because I seem to have a major vacuum leak under the intake. I plan on pulling the plenum to fix the leak at the same...

Man that was quick. That's what I call service. Thanks. I see a lot of guys have these headers and have had them for sometime, any problems over the long term and have they been well worth the cost and effort to install.

Any update on this thread. I too have this issue on my 98 V8, except mine is going to be a broken EGR tube most likely. Have a nasty exaust leak somewhere at the back of the motor and figure it is the tube. Does the upper intake need to come off to service the valve and tube? Would like to do...
