Howdy some of y'all may remember me(sold my X a bit ago and bought a dodge ram-if ya want details on the ram lemme know) but still have an X in the family (2005 explorer stock 4x4 4.0SOHC) Broke a rear wheel stud and i finally got the old broken one out and have been trying all day to get...

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help with my X. I found a dodge pick up that is in great shape so i will be selling my X and buying that truck today. thanks again guys for all your help! Josh

Sounds like a ujoint to me. Jack it up, toss some jack stand under it and see if there is any play in the rear and front drive shafts. Josh

i had lots of trouble with mine, but keep at it you will eventually get it off. they are a bugger. try getting the front line off first then the rear one, thats the only way i can do it on my X. Josh

Just to ask, did you gap the plugs? Josh

Thank!!! Had to replace 2 studs today made it easy! Josh

When my broke i didnt have a lot of time to fix it so i tossed some sheet metal screws in it and its still hold over a year later....(seems pretty tight still too) Josh

Like i said before only in the water tender cause your dead in that thing if you wreck at 70mph.. or even 45mph.. the engines are a different story i ALWAYS where my seat belt in them, that bein said... but specially since the speed limit on the hwy out here is 70mph and everyone does 80ish...

Being a firefighter i always where mine unless im on a private road going slow. The only time i dont where it is if im in the water tender(3500gal of water) cause no matter what if you wreck the tender or an engine for that matter odds are your going to have all the weight of that water coming...

fuel pump whine maybe??? Josh

LOl i have ran out once(fuel gauge said i had a 1/4 tank) lol thought that tank lasted a long time so now i use the odometer. And then once driving the cummins out hunting it said i had 0 to go when i finally got to a gas station and put 40gal in a 38 gal tank.. lol Josh

You need to change your stat and you should be fine. Josh

well seems fine now tossed a new filter in and i don't notice any difference and cant notice the tick unless im stopped with my door open. thanks guys=) learned a bit of haha dont take your DD threw a mud hole unless you know the depth (it didnt look deep) josh

yea i looked at all those... just wanted to make sure i didnt have a weird case or something lol. being a college student and a volly firefighter my truck needs to run lol. but it seems to run a little weird.... will that go away with drive time and drying out over night?? Josh

I just lost one my self! took a hard left on a 75mph hwy lol wasnt fun. Josh

mines worse... i was going to a fire call(volly firefighter) and i had it pegged to the floor pulling on the hwy and i let off to slow down so i could make the turn into the fire hall and my throttle stuck down forcing me to shove it in to neutral and then shut it off when i pulled in. came out...
