    Touch Up Paint

    I just got my brand new tailight covers that I want to paint to match my truck. They want $40 to do it at the shop. Isn't there a company that makes OEM paint in a spray can? Duplicolor is the only one I know of, but they dont carry my color. Has anyone ran into this before? Thanks for any help.

    Replacing Serpentine Belt

    Lifetime They aren't saying the belt will last forever, but that the parts store (Murray Discount Autoparts) will replace it for free when it needs to be replaced. Just like the old Sears Diehard batteries, buy one and every time it died you take it to Sears and get a knew one free.

    Replacing Serpentine Belt

    Thanks a lot for the help, I took a look and it dosnt look bad to do and I got the Goodyear Gatorback thats guarenteed for life. While I am in there should the tensioner be lubricated, I get a squiek out of it every once in a while when it is damp out. Or should the new belt take care of it?

    Front End Noise!

    My '97 Explorer is making a "thunking" type noise. It is coming from the front passenger side wheel area. Everything seems tight in the suspension and the sway bar ends are fine as are the ball joints. The dealer and I checked these out. There is no play in the wheel when it is lifted off the...

    TRAILS IN OR CLOSE TO OHIO?!

    I was woundering if there are any off road trails in or around Ohio? Or maybe in Michigan, thinking about going to the U.P. this summer.I would be interested in mild trails, my truck is stock and the wife isn't crazy about the idea. But I would like to try it out. Thanks for any input.

    New recall on 4.0 SOHC Engine

    I took mine in for the tensioners and intake manifold updates under the 00M12 program. Does anyone know if they should be replacing both tensioners? My service manager told me they are only having problems with the left one and that is the only one they would replace. I would have thought they...

    On my 97, the only way to turn on the original foglights, is to have the headlights on. Does anyone know if the foglights can be used with out the headlamps being on. Thanks for any help.

    How can I make my explorer horny?

    My wife had an old Cadilac and they have great horns. Sounds like a Mac truck coming. I wanted to take it off the car before we sold it but didn't, wish I did now! You can probably get a Cady horn at the bone yard.

    CD Changer Location?

    I am getting a CD changer for my '97 Explorer and I don't want to install it in the center arm rest or in the cargo area. The only other place I can think of is under the back seat. But, will this let me fold them down if needed? Does anyone have sugestions where to locate it?
