    My photos/schematics/diagrams still available.

    2004 XLT 4dr audio I replaced the head unit and ended up buying a couple of different wiring harness to try and keep from cutting my factory connectors. The replacement unit is working, but no sound from the rear speakers. My factory unit is the single CD 3L2T-18C815-UA It had two...

    My stock HU fails like this.....

    Any good single "din" will work as long as you get the wiring adapter. You need to know if you have the premium radio (with the factory amp) to get the correct harness. Mine was doing that and it drove me crazy. While you are at it, you should check the speakers. The foam had completely...

    Interior Trim Fasteners

    I found everything I needed and more here... you may have to use vinyl die to get the right color... I think they are mostly black. The user interface is kind of strange, so you may want to order the catalog. http://www.owensabsco.com/

    NEED HELP QUICK!

    Don't know if you got it fixed yet, but it could be two things... the needle is touching the guages (look around the round part too) It doesn't take much at all to keep that light little needle from screwing up. The other might be that the speedo cable did not go in correctly. You might have...

    White letters In or Out? does it matter

    I always put the white letters inside. Having the extra weight of the white paint closer to the center of gravity keeps me from rolling over.

    very important... need help

    use the Google search engine and put in Ford Explorer aftermarket body parts and you will be amazed at what you can find and how cheap some of the places are. Ebay is another source... headlight warehouse... search for that on ebay and email the guy and ask him how much for a package deal.

    did the "throttle cable mod" this weekend...

    For some reason I had never heard of this, but after reading the threads, I accomplished the same thing in a different manner. When I was working to develop my custom intake, I noticed that the butterfly wasn't opening all the way with the throttle cable. I just bent the bracket that the...

    Big Roof Rack Problem!

    There are little rivet nuts that you can put in that will work. They use a mandrel that fits inside of a rivet gun and basically "builds" a nut into the hole in the sheet metal as the rivet gun pulls on the mandrel. I know JC Whitney and Harbor Freight tools carry them. The riv-nuts come...

    Please help-never seen this before

    You may find that the transmission cooler part of the radiator is totally clogged up, not letting fluid circulate. That happened to mine, and when they took the transmission apart, most of the parts had turned blue from the heat. I was driving it at the time and all of the transmission...

    Flex-Lite Electric Fan install

    I installed the Flex-Lite electric fan today. Part number 175, slated for the Mustang 5.0. I had looked and that was the one recommended for the Ranger. None was listed for the 92 Explorer. The install of the fan itself took about 15 minutes, including removing the stock one. Installation...

    jackstands

    too many variables... automatic or standard? Is your truck lifted? how much space is your trailer jack going to take up beneath the tranny? Where are you going to put the jack stands, and how high off the ground is that spot already? Subtract that from 22 1/2" to get how far...

    unusual tire wear

    Compare your wear pattern with the ones shown at this link to see if it is alignment. With those big tires, if your shoucks are worn or too weak, that could cause irregular wear also. http://www.familycar.com/alignment.htm

    Why not Elite status?

    3 cents a gallon and I can afford to pay Rick... And if you have 1,070,000 Membership Reward points you can go to the Superbowl. Plus it keeps the thread at the top, and more people will see it... I guess it had as much to do with Elite status as your post.

    Why not Elite status?

    When I go to Walmart, I use my Amex to put dollars on my Walmart shopping card, get the reward points and get 3 cents a gallon off the gas i buy on my way out of the parking lot.
