    PATS system tied to door?

    Yup, Thanks guys, I confirmed with the master PATS thread that without a rapid blinking theft left, it is not a pats issue. So now I have it ruled down to a no start, no crank situation. (also,it warmed up enough and i got the door shut!)

    Three alternators since November

    your amp is small and shouldnt be a problem. do you have your "remote lead" wired correctly? it is the tiny blue wire. it gets tapped into your radio on wire so it only draws power when car is turned on to acc or started. if it is tapped into something else it could be drawing power 247 which...

    Three alternators since November

    not to mention your equation is wrong lmao... try dividing by 14.4 since when my truck is running that is what its at. not 12.. given 100 percent efficiency.. which no my amp is not. but running at 4 ohm instead of 1 ohm makes it A LOT more efficient..

    '97 Mountaineer 2WD -How bad did I screw up?

    I cant comment as i got awd in Duluth Minnesota and have never drivin a 2wd explorer.. but from what ive read as long as you got decent tires you should be okay. It is a limited slip i believe.. and if you really want you could always sell it and keep shopping for an awd..

    Stroked 2000 5.0 long block into a 97 5.0

    too bad I just sold my brand new torque monsters! i should have bought a few extra sets... but with the power your making id worry about the transfer case holding up. the awd is great for winter and snow but wont hold up to much over 300 hp id consider doing a "bw4406" transfer case swap...

    Spare Tire Rod

    are you sure its missing? there in two different locations.. one part in the compartment in the back. if your standing by the tailgate its in the compartment to your left. then there is another piece behind the backseat under that flap that hides the metal and stuff.. it fooled me at first too..
