    Plug Wire diagram

    Does anyone know of a plug wire diagram that shows the correct wiring from distributor to cylinders? I swear I ran across one on this site before but can't seem to find it. I found this but I want to make sure I get the wiring correct (and validate that is it CURRENTLY correct) as this...

    do you think if i let the air out of tires a little bit and ran like 33-35 psi it would be better.

    Yes another shocks post!

    how is the ride? stiff / soft? still pretty bumpy over rough roads? also did it cut down on the sway any and tighten up the suspension during turns? From what i've seen some people were doing reverse (sensa-tracs in the rear). I may just end up doing the reflexes all around.

    Yes another shocks post!

    Have been reading a lot of posts about preferences etc but have seen very little discussion on this setup: Monroe Sensa-Trac in the rear and Reflex in the front. Anyone currently have this? What are your thoughts about it? I am picking up some shocks today and need some input on this...

    Quick Exhaust inquiry!

    I currently have an exhaust leak on my 98 explorer so I plan to replace the exhaust. A lot of people recommended Flowmaster 40 muffler (as far as flowmasters which is what I want to go with) but I have chose to go with the Flowmaster 50 for a more quieter yet still beefy sound. There are like...

    Small nitpick/question regarding power locks keyless FOB

    When I bought my 98 XLT the keyless fob that came with it was pretty much toast except for the circuit board. Buttons were gona battery dead. I bought a new housing and rubber button deal off ebay and a battery and the remote is back up and running like new. It locks / unlocks the car just...

    Thats All She Wrote

    Man I hope mine makes it atleast 200k I would be happy considering what I bought it for. With that said could this have been avoided by having the tensioners replaced before mishap occurs? I have read all about the timing chain problems (or more like tensioner problems rather). I currently...

    Disabling Automatic Door Locks 1998 XLT

    Yep I just did this the other day on my 98 XLT. Let me think... Put in your 5 digit unlock code, hold 7/8 and press and release 3/4. To reenable it I believe it is reverse (Hold 3/4 Press 7/8)

    Driver side lock troubles.

    Ah another question on this topic. My keyless FOB remote was not working due to battery. I replaced the battery and it works but when I try to lock the door with it they all lock except for my driver's door. The lock will go down and then come back up. All my power locks work fine (except...

    Rust - Should I be concerned?

    Ya I was going to do something similar to that Para - Just get under there with a drill / wirebrush and sandpaper if needed and start killing the rust. After seeing some of the vehicles here I am starting to have faith that mine isn't as bad as I thought haha. It's going to be a tedious time...
