    Installed rear EE swaybar today.

    I did a leaf spring swap and 4 shock swap at the same time as my sway bars, so my Ex was up in the air. It took less than three hours if I recall. But I had all air tools and I work on cars for a living. I guess you can do it with hand tools. Eat a good breakfast so you have plenty of...

    removing the "sport" emblem from rear gate.

    That is SO FUNNY. Some people ( my self included ) like to use fishing line to remove emblems. Wear gloves though !!!

    Tranny guage problem

    I just instaled the Perma Cool tranny temp guage in my Ex and it doesn't work. I hooked it all up and started the truck, I had illumination, and it worked off the dimmer ( thanks Alec ) So I buttened things up and drove home. Not I can not fathom even in this cold, even with my second...

    Maybe I should not have purchased an Explorer ? (warning: long)

    There is not a vehicle on the face of the earth that at one point or another will develop it's own issues. They are after all, machienes. Ford squirts how many thousands of these out of their factory every day ? Some of them you can give them all the TLC in the world and they crap all over...

    Windshield Washer motor

    Installed rear EE swaybar today.

    I have had mine for several months and it remains one of the best purchases I have made for the Ex.

    thinking about repaint to this color

    Paint on pearl pin stripes ( Yikes that is almost a tounge twister ) I really like pearl on cars, but not on SUV's I do think your green is cool though.

    Tranny Cooler and Filter

    I am not sure if they changed it in 2000 but I actually have rubber hoses coming out. I will try to figure out a way to post the pic. I am Elite so I know there is an easy way. I am just not too bright on the computer

    Truck of the Week Hartman 2/11/04

    Back when TOTW first got started Heartman's Ex was the first to pop into my mind. Yes, well deserved. Georgous truck, all well done.

    Liscence plate just falls off?

    we are talking about a dealership though. They really don't do much for free even if it is just a few seconds worth of work.

    how serious is this?!?

    I would check out the sloted roters a Explorer Express if you have a few extra bucks to spend. They are really sweet.

    lots of tranny trashing

    A cooler / filter combo won't hurt either. I have a B&M cooler and a Perma-Cool remote filter.

    installing trans cooler

    I took two sanwhich bags and two zip ties. Opened both lines and attached the bags with zip ties. Started and ran the truck two or three seconds at most. It was then obvious which was send and which was return.

    Liscence plate just falls off?

    Free instalation. That sounds like a dealership you want to support as much as possible. Please post the name so other people in your area can support them too.

    High Mileage SOHC

    258k Yeah those Volvos just don't die do they ? I had a 73 as a first car back in the mid 80's. That thing was solid as a rock and every thing worked like a charm. Atleast untill I lost an agruement with a Dodge Ram. Still I drove home, he needed a roll back.

    Maintenance transmission

    A after market cooler and remote filter will help a lot. I have a B&M cooler and a remote filter by Perma-Cool. I got them from Summit Racing ( www.summitracing.com ) More than a few poeple here have switched over to synthetic tranny fluid.

    Upgraded speaker wire

    I used some mechanics wire. ( some call it bailing wire ) Fished it through. Made a loop. Tied the speaker cable. Soaked it with some Zep 45 ( WD-40 ) A tug with a little work here and there. Eventually it works it's way through.

    Fender help

    I can tell you for a fact it is much more that .5 for a body shop to instal a Ford Explorer fender. Probally more like 1.5 or better. It is not a bad DIY job. I have done zillions. If your Ex is black you are fine. If it is any other color the body shop will need to blend the paint into...

    BIG auto accident (icy road)...need general info

    well I do collison repair for a living. I don't know a whole lot about the pricing but I know plenty about the labor involved. I would with out question go through your insurance company. You have a costly repair on your hands.

    Best SQ song/CD?

    three, but How Do I Deal if from the " I Know What You Did Last Summer " Sound track. Nice solid rock bass guitar tone, punchy drums. Catchy tune too. And oh yeah, she is so freakin' hot.

    Sagging to the left

    Remember the gas tank is also on the drivers side. A full tank will lean more than an empty. ( obviously )

    Okay I understand your POV now it's cool. No, not a house system. Bands come to town or what have you, we bring in the mixing consoles, microphones, staging, light systems, bla, bla. I mentioned that because I did not want to seem like an anti-loud prude. I am looking down at no one...

    Can't stand this poor gas mileage.. selling the sport

    no way in the world is that normal. unless,,,,,,, you floor it at every green light. you let it warm up for an hour every morning. your gas tank has a load of bricks in it. You are towing a fully loaded cement truck. or your wheels are six inches tall.

    Eddie Bauer airbag same as XLT?

    I am 90% sure they are the same but you will need to swap clock springs. That is the thing that the wires go " through " so when you turn the wheel they don't get all twisted.
