    Hi Everyone, I have a 2014 Ford Explorer XLT. The other day I clipped a mailbox and the mirror and cap popped off. It was an easy fix and the mirrors seem to be working fine, for the most part. They power adjust when I am doing it with the buttons on the driver side door. However, since the...

    That catalytic game, 02 4.6 limited.

    I've got a 1999 limited edition explorer with the 5.0l v8 and I was wondering how many horsepowers the stock driveline can handle without dying. (any suggestions on what kind of mods to do to keep it 4wd and to not blow up with the extra power would be appreciated)
