    Truxxx & 275/65r18

    Do you remember how wide these wheels were? I'm hoping to get that same amount of stance on my 07 limited, but i know -12et on an 18x8 is different than -12et on 18x9 and so on.

    Engine stops when making a fast 90 degree turning.

    sounds to me like your power steering pump is starting to go. with a 90 degree turn, that could put enough load on the engine to stall it out (especially if you have a misfire on 2 different cylinders). id check with your local shop and see if they could maybe do a power steering flush...

    1996 Explorer steering wheel shake

    Is it only when you hit a bump? Or is it all the time? I'd probably look over your front end, check your connections. Wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods.. Anything really. Last thing you want is something to fall apart while your driving lol

    2000 explorer HELP!!!

    diagnostics through a computer and over the phone are typically useless.. however i will say dont jump to a conclusion and condemn the timing chain (even if they tend to be an issue). if you jumped time or anything like that believe me you would know.. your engine wouldnt kick right back over...
