Thanks for the reply IMP. When i first get on the highway the TCC engages, but anywhere from 2-5miles down the road the rpms jump up again, always under light throttle and i have to baby the heck out of it to get to engage again. Since it looks like the torque converter, what is a good brand...

Last year my transmission started acting up and it's gotten worse since. It wont stay locked in overdrive, resulting in 300-400 rpms higher than normal. O/D light has never flashed either. I'm just wondering if I should replace the torque converter or valve body. Every thread I've read with...

I'm in the process of adding fluid now. General consensus is to always trust hot fluid level. Thank you.

Just did a fluid/filter change and i can't get the level right. The level is correct when cold but when trans is hot the dipstick says there's no fluid. I am checking fluid hot when vehicle is in park and running. Also I am checking the fluid level per the vehicle's manual. Last time I did the...

I lubricated them about 1 month prior to this happening and a couple times before that in 8 years. They're inexplicably working so I can't complain! :thumbsup: thanks!

Quick update, cycled the locks several times with the viper alarm. Now the stock key fob works and the doors are locking/unlocking like it were brand new. Not sure what the problem could've been.

Went to go into work this morning and my doors wouldn't unlock, everything acted like the battery had drained over night. Slim jimmed my way in and battery is perfect. The key fob and all door lock buttons inside try and unlock the doors, but all that happens is the sound of maybe the actuator...

Its mostly hidden behind the weatherstripping of the drivers door then goes under the hood from there.

That was taken care of 6 years ago. Had an ex girlfriends dad lose his f150, garage and boat because of that recall. So I immediately looked into!

To make a long story short, changing plugs today I noticed the bottom of the booster was wet, but nothing underneath was, indicating it's a very minor leak. My brakes haven't gotten any weaker so should I be worried? Here's a few (cell phone) pics. ] Also, what is this exactly? And...

It's a custom bar a friend and I fabbed up years ago

I'll shoot them an email and if their fix seems to be a pain or expensive then I will try a belt. Thanks!

That would be a simple fix. Did you just try a new belt and it worked?

Alright cool. Thanks for the help!

Thanks. I wanted to ask the forum before I contacted them. Is the regulator a part of the alternator?

Last summer I purchased an HO alternator from DB Electrical and all the wiring from knu koncepts for the big 3. Installed everything and now when im idling the volt meter drops and once I ge on the gas it jumps up, all the lights get really bright then back to normal brightness. I never had this...

I have a surco safari rack. Check out the 2 weeks link in my signature.

http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=360751 That thread should help. Wheels are to be on the ground.

My fault. I'm nowhere near my Explorer to give you that much detail now. Wish I could help!

http://www.accessconnect.com/images/fog_lights.jpg If you don't have a relay or harnes I suggest this relay and this harness or similar products. You can upgrade the harness wires depending on how many amps your fogs use. Or you can just find one with larger wires. Hope this helps!

The most common cause from what i've seen is air in the power steering system, that seems to happen alot on this forum.

:bsnicker: Couldn't resist! But seriously, that is a really nice bumper! Keep us updated about the front bumper too.

Subbing

The gearing surely plays a factor. 3.73s in mine.

Thanks for the info! Odd though because I get 19-21 mpg driving up to West Virginia fully loaded.

They have their own website which I found odd. There are several different versions of them too. Wish I would've known about these a month ago as they sound promising.

I thought you were referring to the Crosstek tire itself. I did a google search for them and customers seemed pleased with them.

Tire rack doesn't sell Nitto tires...

Nice. Welcome to the family!

I can't comment on the o2 sensor but in my opinion a trans temp gauge is very beneficial. Mine lets me know when to back off and pull over if needed while pulling my trailer. They're simple to install also.

They do. I was just playing around

I didn't buy any sort of tune from anyone, i'd like to though. But on the controller itself you can do a number of things. I changed Idle rpm, egr on/off, o2s on/off and a few other things I know i'm forgetting.

Went ahead and ordered some 265/50r20 (30.5") Nitto Terra Grapplers for a good price from Summit. I've read mixed opinions on this tire so hopefully they fair me well. I'll update in a few months when I get them put on.

Apparently the initial problem was that the exciter wire had corroded to dust so my old alternator was still good. But now I have a bigger alternator! :) Thanks NIX

I only have bolt ons as well but it's neat being able to tweak/tune/turn on/off things at your own will. I have changed mine enough and have had an increase in mpgs and power as well. But also a decrease in all these too, trial and error thats all.

He asked if his quoted OTD (out the door) price was a good deal or not. He didn't ask for anyones opinion on the vehicle itself. There have been moderators that have posted warnings about bashing on the site. Stickies are your friend.

Good lookin Ex and nice little boat too!

That'd be great! Thanks.

I've read Al's review before. Just looking around for other results too. Thanks!
