    Can't figure out why I'm overheating..a few symptoms..

    Thanks for the tip! I scaled it down. I popped the SOHC cover off, and I drove home from work (it's a relatively short drive) and it was running extremely hot. I was blasting the heat the entire way home, but it wasn't until about 2 minutes from my house that it actually started blowing...

    Can't figure out why I'm overheating..a few symptoms..

    Radio install on '03 Sport XLS - I'm lost..

    I'm trying to install an Appradio 4. I bought a double din dash kit by metra (which fit my vehicle according to their site). I've since found out that it won't fit and that I have to do some trimming, which is fine, but I'm lost on how the unit will be held in place. The old radio was only...

    Any advice for longevity? New to forum and to Ford - 2003 Explorer Sport XLS

    Hey everyone!:wavey: I signed up for the forum because I just picked up a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport XLS two days ago. I was just wondering if there were any certain things I should keep my eyes on (It's at about 96k miles right now). I got it relatively cheap. It seems really clean, runs...
