    Help! Paint defect on new '03 Explorer Sport

    Oh that is not a bad thing. Ford paint sucks. End of statement. Get the dealership to repaint it under warrenty. Delaminating is when the paint " looses it's grip " on the surface. The whole hood ( or what ever part ) needs to be stripped and refinished. Delamination only gets...

    cutting hood for functional scoops?

    You can cut or drill. Remove the hood liner to make a cleaner, nicer job. Then cut the liner to match with a sharp razor blade. Under no scirmstances would I cut any of the supports. Just remember, measure, measure, re-measure, re-re-measure. Out of place scoops look just aweful. Or...

    K&N Filter

    Disconnecting the battery just speeds up the process. Your Ex under normal conditions will " relearn " on a regualr basis.

    K & N causing problems, need input....

    I doubt the K&N had too much oil from the factory, but any thing is possible. Clean that and your MAS. Also the TPS mod might smooth things out a bit for you as well.

    1600 Mile Road trip need Advice

    Ah Snow Shoe I used to go there and ride my mountian bike every fall. Very nice place. People are real friendly there. Plenty of windshield washer fluid, an extra spary can will be helpful. Salt on the windshield is tough to see through. Also make sure your spare tire has plenty of air.

    Wanna change the mirrors, ne options

    False Floor Box

    Well, properly placed and done correctly it will not weaken any thing. Just be a very involved project.

    Painted mirrors

    Taz, any plans on doing the mouldings too?

    False Floor Box

    One issue of major concern is making sure it all seals real well. Fumes, moisture stuff like that are things you don't want creaping inside your Ex. It sounds like a lot of work, but why the heck not ?

    Well I guess I can hold off till summer, see if it moves at all. Summit had a few that were very affordable and started at 100. Everyone, thanks for your help and input. It is so cool having a site like this where so many people work together to help another guy solve a problem.

    Tranny guage problem

    Which is why I did it that way. Yes I did mean coolerS ( plural ) The path is filter, factory aux, B&M aux, radiator ( if memory serves me correct ) Is is possible I am running below 140 ? I have been looking around and it seems most tranny temp guages start between 100 and 140. I...

    Gauges where the radio used to be....

    Well this answers some of the questions I had in my " Tranny guage problem post " My sender is in the filter assy ( Perma-Cool ) and it does not get off of 140. I initially assumed it did not work but low and behold it might just be running real cool. BTW I love the trim, how did you...

    Tranny guage problem

    Yeah the sending unit is the ground. It is a shock to me that Perma-Cool would sell a tranny temp guage where the lowest reading ( 140 ) isn't a operating tempture. I guess I need to hunt down a lower reading guage ?

    Installed rear EE swaybar today.

    If you have a compressor avalible that is a HUGE help. I used an impact for just about all the fasteners. If you can nab some swivel sockets you'll be golden.

    Running into a Firewall need some expert help

    and also prime the bare matal and once the grommet and wire are in place hit it with some scillicon. Try this, pull one wheel off and look behind the fender liner. Remember to look at both sides so you aren't drilling into something important.

    Tailgate adjustments

    There really is not much up and down adjustment. The 8mm on the life gate will do the in and out but they also will a slight bit of up and down due to the fact they are on an bit angle. On a side note it is MUCH easier to do gate and door adjustments with the striker out. You adjust the...
