11.14.2010
gave myself an oil change. mobil 1 synthetic, k&n filter



11.22.2010-11.23.2010
ive always had a bogging/no get up and go on a cold start. so i went ahead and tried this: http://ford40.com/sputtering.shtml

left it to soak all night, dried today. there was some dirt/dust on the filaments. put it back in today along with a new maf from a cobra.
not only was there no more bogging when cold, i didnt have the slow response/bog related to having my battery unplugged and it relearning itself either.

i reccomend doing this if you have probs and notice the maf filaments are dirty.

the new maf sensor:



and the painted area behine the grille:


i will be painting the grille, bull bar, front bumper, rear bumper all with bedliner.
and at some point paint along the sides of the truck following the top of the bumper line in bed liner



11.24.2010-11.28.2010
bed lined front bumper, rear bumper+rear sides, grill, and re-added wal-mart lights.
took off the hitch that was attached the the bumper also.






12.20.2010





01.22.11 - clearance lights. LED, 13 per light, 65 total. very bright.

so after 3 months of the engine overhaul, its finally back in, finished, and fired up at 11.47pm! after fixing the inertia switch(oddly popped out), it fired right up, no problems!

6.4.2010
clear turns/corners and amber bulbs



do i possibly have a bodylift? in that pic above and in the updated first post of the lights you can see my bumper has a gap between it. my rear bumper does to

[Xeek]

anyone think theres a bodylift or have i never noticed all of em have a gap?


pulled codes today,
KOEO:
11. System OK
CM 14. Ignition pickup (PIP) was erratic - Ignition Systems

KOER:
21.Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor out of range - ECT



for 14, i do have acceceration probs when cold, sometimes when warm if i gun it more. would cleaning the maf sensor help? i saw something about cleaning it to help hesitation, sputtering (http://ford40.com/sputtering.shtml)

for 21, i did just buy a new sensor today actualy, my temp guage doesnt work at all, at or a little past C, never moves at all
gonna try and install it along with a new thermostat tomorrow. would that fix the guage(if its not the guage itself) or is it another part?

[jaschlum]

nice ex you got there!

[Xeek]

6.17.2010
replaced drivers door handle





6.22.2010
replaced engine coolant temperature sensor (cel)
replaced temperature sending unit so my guage works now (need it in this heat)



6.24.2010
new KKM intake

[red.EDDIE.4x4]

you X looks great. i like the grille!
you should paint everything behind the grille flat black so it doesnt show up as much.

also on a side note... ive been looking for the same lights you have under your bumper so i can put them in the little cut out in the middle of the bumper, where did you get yours?

[Xeek]

wal-mart

[jd4242]

Did you replace your maf too or just the filter?

[IZwack]

DO you, by any chance, have a pink camera?

[Xeek]

jd- just filter. ill upgrade maf, tb and tubing later on


IZwack- its purple

[4x4troy]

very nice job so far,nice x

[Joe Dirt]

Looks really good!

[Xeek]

got a problem here. about a week after i took the door panel off to replace the broken handle and screw in the speaker that for some reason had no screws holding it in when i got it :/
anyway now my drivers window acts funny. wanted to know if its the regulator or the motor. all the other windows are ok, besides the back 2 being slow since i got the truck

video: http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=DSCN1384.mp4

when all the way up/down it continues it try and move(the sound you hear) even though the windows all the way up/down and shouldnt do anything at all



one more thing. the emblem on the hatch that says explorer, is it glued on or is there bolts on the inside holding it on. just asking before i try and remove it

[Doomie17]

inside the window motor there are little plastic guess u can call them bearings but they are probally shot and need to be replaced

[Xeek]

im starting to plan for yanking the engine out. what parts should i most likely replace?
i was told my passenger header was rusted through. so thats 1
