    are you sure they're not right side up sitting on the brakets?

    LAWN TRACTOR RESTORATION (1975)

    is that a briggs motor? I prefer the classic cub cadets myself, but we have a wheel horse from the '60s

    New Ex for meee.

    Well for starters, I wouldn't buy a brand new sport. Those things are overpriced when they are new. If you're going to plunk down 28k just spend a little more and get a four door. Just go with your gut instinct and you'll get a great X.

    Better than stock A/C?

    An extreme option would be to get a console from the new gens with the auxilary fan and rear controls. You would have to do a lot of fabrication but it would do the trick.

    Ford freestyle

    Does anyone know what the Ford 500 is going to look like? It shares the same platform as the Freestyle.

    Question About "Sport" Emblems.

    I was at the dealer, and the 2003's have the chrome embelem on the back, they don't have "explorer" on the side, there are different pull handles, and there is two tone leather.

    Question About "Sport" Emblems.

    Sorry about bringing back the dead. I was wondering if anyone had found the new 2003 sport embelems. I think they say sport XLT, and they're chrome instead of red

    not exactly a ford question

    If you use tacks, you might need to super glue them or they might get flung out from wind or just plain fall out.

    03 Focus for Daily Driver?

    I've driven a manual focus and I would describe it as 'zippy' but nothing more than that. If you have the funds, black magic would appreciate that.

    How to fix these two parts....

    I don't know how to fix that without a hammer. On the bumper though, that plate is probably most of the strength for the bumper. I would get a new bumper or just paint the ugly part.

    Does yours pop too?

    I don't know if its the same problem, but my steering wheel pops but I don't think it goes any farther than that.

    Head gasket leaking coolant (and other headaches)

    I had a leak that I could not find, and I didn't mess with trying to use sealant. Then I just took it to the dealer to have the work done. At the time it didn't have very many miles for a '92 (about 78,000).

    Head gasket leaking coolant (and other headaches)

    I got it done at the ford dealer for around $550

    do you think fender flares are sporty?

    Even if you don't get the flares, ditching the running boards would make your truck look more street like,

    What Stock Gear Ratio?

    I should have given the 3.08 a vote for my '92, but otherwise i got the 3.73 LS in my '02

    Silver Explorer Sport 01+..

    I just got a silver '02 if you go to www.kbb.com and look up the 2002 sport, their file photos have a silver one.

    cd MP3 players

    You would probably want to put the mp3 files in folders with your cd burning software. The HU will most likely pick up on them and have a way to scroll through the folders and also the tracks in the folders.

    KIA: your thoughts?

    They would probably be a solid vehicle, but I just couldn't bring myself to drive one.:rolleyes:

    Does rear XLT seat bench fit into Sport?

    I believe that the sport rear seats have a missing part on each side for the wheel wells. I would say no.

    column shifter knob

    Has anyone changed their stock column shifter knob? (It wouldn't work in the newer explorers with the OD button.) I think it would be neat if it was something other than that plastic thing. If anyone has done it, is the stock one threaded or glued on?

    Axle code 43

    You have an open differential, which means both wheels will always have the same amount of torque. Both of your wheels were probably on snow and therefore spun with the same amount of torque. If one wheel is on pavement and the other is on snow, the wheel on the snow would spin with little...

    How can u tell the difference w/ 91-94 X's?

    Crankcase, thats a good list, but you forgot about the BLUE interior option! It was pretty ugly though, and i doubt if anyone cares.

    How can u tell the difference w/ 91-94 X's?

    I believe that the steering wheel changed from 92 to 93 as well.

    I use straight 30 in the summer and 5w-30 in the winter but it makes no difference whatsoever.

    Buy or Lease?

    You don't actually get anything done when you lease. You just screw around and then end up with nothing and have to start over again.

    It's rattling, and no one knows why

    I have the exact same proplem, but on both sides. Its not the dust shield, but i think its the brake calipers. I've reached in there and can wiggle them but have no idea as how to stop it. By the way, mine is a 2wd if that makes a difference...

    Whats your favorite Classic Car?

    I would like to have one of those 2003 Mach I's. Its like a classic car without the rust or carburetor.

    Whats your favorite Classic Car?

    My uncle has a '70 mach I with the cobra jet that I might give some attention to, but I almost still like the 69's better with the side scoops.

    clearcoat peeling

    That would work, but it was in a wreck before I got it. I think the guy that fixed it, painted it in his garage so probably no help there.

    clearcoat peeling

    I have this chip on my hood that has helped the clearcoat start to chip around each side about 2.5". Is there any way I can stop the bubling without going into great care to fix it? Its okay if I have this small spot but I'm worried that half of my hood will be chipped off someday. Thanks...

    A/C comp. cycling

    there's a sensor that checks the pressure of the a/c system, when the pressure gets too low, the compressor simply turns on. all you need is a little recharge like mrboyle said.

    My First Tools

    My dad farms, and I've seen him do horrible things to craftsman tools and they've always survived. It'd be wise and save some money for the tires and lift.

    AC Recharge ???

    Is it right that with a couple of small adapters, you can just put r-134a in the r-12 system without changing compressors? This is considering that all leaks are fixed...
