    3 quick questions: part source, oil pan gasket, front pads

    1. What is the best online parts store for our Explorers? 2. I will be changing the lower oil pan gasket on my '03 XLS (4.0). What is the proper torque for the bolts? 3. I will also be swapping out the front brake pads, which I have never done on an Explorer. Is there anything in...
