    Tire Recommendations

    I'm using General Grabber AT2 tires on my 99 AWD. It was a night and day difference from what was on it when I got it. I also have a set on my 03 Suburban and plan on getting a set for my 01 Sierra before winter hits.

    Spring sale! 20 Explorers for parts!!!

    I'm now looking for driver side and passenger side front door lock mechanisms for a '99 Explorer XLT. The driver side spring broke and the passenger side intermittently operates. Thanks.

    parts interchange??

    That could be a little tricky. I'm not sure what or when things changed. Your best bet is to go to an online parts store and see if both trucks would use the same part if you bought them.

    parts interchange??

    Most will, they are both the same generation. It does depend on what you are trying to swap.

    Can I tow my Explorer behind my RV?

    From what I understand, the easiest way to flat tow an automatic transmission vehicle is to disconnect the drive shaft from the rear end. There are a few ways to do this. You can search for disconnect devices. The cheapest way would be to just get under it and unbolt it from the rear axle and...

    is my 91 an interference engine?

    When the timing belt or chain breaks, the pistons hit the valves. I don't know about the Ford 4.0.

    One of those "I'm Gonna get a can of gas and a match..." problems

    I believe that the fee includes new tag fee and other fees. Renewal should only cost $50 for 2 years. At least NY doesn't hit you with a property tax on your vehicle like some states do: CT, VA, & HI that I know of.

    Stock ride height?

    What should the stock ride height be? Right noew the front is at 32" from the ground to the center of the wheel well and 31" to 31 1/2" for the rear. It looks retarded with the ass sagging like that. I'm making the assumption that the rear springs are worn out and need replacement.

    OBD II Connector issue

    All fuses are good. I have a cheap UIF Tech scanner. It indicates good for both my 99 Explorer and my 03 Suburban. Maybe their stuff is broken?

    OBD II Connector issue

    So, today I take my Explorer into the dealer for emissions testing. Here in CT the deal is to plug in the OBD II port and verify no codes are tripped. Unfortuneately, when they plugged into my OBD II port, they didn't get any conectivity. They did sniff it and it passed well within...

    AWD and spare tire question

    I was afraid that it would affect the transfer case. I'll rotate them since I only drive to and from work (no faster than 45 mph). I drive I-95 very rarely with this truck. Only the passenger side is wearing the inside edge. I'll look into lower ball joints.

    AWD and spare tire question

    The tires on my '99 XLT 5.0l with AWD have about 40% tread left. The spare is the same tire and hasn't been used. Would I damage anything by rotating it onto the truck? The passenger side front tire is showing excessive wear on the inside of the tire. Is that normal or can it be fixed with an...

    Lifter noise after X sets several days

    Run it more often? You could remove the valve covers and pre-lube. You could also pull the ignition and use the starter to prime the system.

    Couple of Question / Clarifications

    Follow up questions: Does this have a clutched differential or just the transfer case? When should the anti-windup bar be replaced? It looks like a shock. I'm used to the torque arm on my camaro, a 'solid' piece of metal attached to the transmission. Does essentially the same thing.

    Couple of Question / Clarifications

    So, I put my truck up on a lift to change my oil yesterday. I observed a few things I would like clarified / answered. Power steering - I noticed that there was no pitman arm. I noticed a hydralic block with a shaft coming out each side going to the top of the a-arms. Does the steering input...
