I have Michilin 31x10.50 on mine, no rubbing. Fills up the wheel well nicely:D

I did mine at 125,000, no leaks, no regrets. That is a big falicy. It would not be the fault of the Syn oil, if you do see leaks that organic clogged up, just think about all the other passages that organic oils have gummed up!

OK 1. clean your MAS your new K&N might have been a bit too oily and the vapors might have coated your sensor elements. 2.Scan your codes, there might be something stored that could indicate o2 or EGR/DPFE 3.. While cleaning your MAS, disconnect your battery. 4. check your tire...

Gina you have a PM Gina, you ahve a PM

Amsoil 5W30 Ford calls for 5W30. Amsoil is good for 25K if you change the filters every 5K and get it tested once in a while ($20) Ends up costing about the same at the end of the year if you do 3K changes with Castrol, and might even improve your MPG. Check aldive's 'my quest for...

Clay bars are great! They will turn your 4.0 into a 5.0, just shove it through the throttle body. Sorry 'Dogs' I couldn't resist. They are great. It is really a small bar of clay that you rub over your paint after lightly spraying the lubricant that comes with it. You can hear the clay...

I'll be off the 26th myself,:D Sounds like some fishing to me.:D Maybe some Mtn biking too:D :D let's take it off line.

That's mountain biking country! I love Bellingham and Chuckanut Dr, lived there for 4 years (1960-'64) and went back several summers in the late 60's picking berries while dad was taking summer classes at Western. I think we are available this weekend and tennatively have a sitter for...

The guarantee is on the pads and shoes ONLY. Labor, turning rotors and drums etc still cost you. A lot of places have lifetime guarantees on the pads and shoes. Shop around, you can even get a guarantee from some parts stores

Try http://www.procarparts.com/store-list2.asp?makerID=9&modelID=62&year=1993&cat=4&sub=33 for the rears, and http://www.explorerexpress.com/catalog/pages/clearcorners.html for the fronts. Check with your local troopers though. Most aren't legal because they don't have the Orange reflector in...

OK dreamr, got my boots, Raichle All Degree Lite GTX. A little taping on the boot bar at REI and they feel like I've been wearing them for 2 months. Now I have to put some weight on my back when I walk the dog. This weather is making me antsy to go somewhere and/or do something. Ideas?

With your push rod motor, you'll never get close to Al's MPG. The MPG MPH threshold seems to be 60mph for me. 60 and below on the freeway and I got 18-19 before mods. I haven't taken a long trip since the mods, so this summer to Eastern Montana will be interesting, if I can keep my foot...

Probably a hundred for the front and another hundred for the rear. They should give you a lifetime guaranty on the pads and shoes. There are many reputable places that do brake jobs. I reccomend getting prices from at least 2 different shops other than Ford dealers. I had a Goodyear shop...

If you're easy on them, the front pads are probably ready to be replaced. The rotors should be turned to get a nice even surface, the rears might still have plenty of meat on them since most of the braking power is in the front. Drums and rotors can be turned serveral times before you exceed...

The two spinning rods I have, have 12lb on them. Neither are big enough for Salmon or Steelhead (although I did catch a 7lb steelie on the Green River near Flaming Guyser State park on my 5-6wt fly rod about 10 years ago but that is another story) Guess I'll stick to dragging the Sound for...

So, are you up to schoolin a 'feathered folk' on the 'not so delicate method of club and gun'? Just kidding, but there's no fish in the freezer right now and I hate that farmed Atlantic crap. I need to check some of the rods and reels I got from Dad's estate. What do you recommend?

new fly rod HMMM that would mean I would need a new 8wt rod, reel and fly line as well as some streamer flies. Whooops, there goes $500. Maybe I had better get the SeaRay tuned up and go drag Puget Sound. I've already got a checp downrigger for that. That 'know where to go" wouldn't...

Ches has an outlet in Vegas! Las Vegas, NV 4545 N. Lamb Blvd., Unit C Las Vegas, NV 89115 What could be easier than having it shipped to your door?

Call Ches I'm switching to Amsoil after reading aldive's novel, "My quest for 30". I also got the free oil test kit from the same lab he uses and will become a devote follower of the MPG surmons preached by "Father Al' (sorry Al but you aren't quite old enough to be MY father, but I'll...

Man it hurts to think about this stuff. I wish my dad was still alive. Want to plan a couple day loop up there for mid May?

You made me cry I too, long for those sceninc vistas with lupine, indian paintbrush and intoxicating sweetness of an alpine meadow with a babbling brook running through it where I floated a hand carved wood boat while the rest of the hike group started dinner, (circa 1967, age 9). Of...

Oh yeah, it cleaned blood off the garage floor at Mythbusters too. So I guess it's good for 3 things cause it sure tastes like c__p. (to me ayway):D

snocross may have something there. The MAS filiments are offset from the main bore and if the bore of the PVC is the same as the main bore of the MAS (or close) and it is lined up with the MAS main bore, the filiments might not be getting enough air past them to measure!

Warning! Warning, while Al is the all time master of mpg, he has a SOHC motor and they start out more fuel efficient than the OHV (read pushrod) motors that came in the Generation 1 Ex's like yours and mine. Realistic MPG goals for the Gen 1 would be 15 city and 21-22 highway. My first...

welcome welcome to the NW group section! I'm good on tires, have michelin 31x10.50 myself and love them. Do you ever play in the dirt? We are starting to organize a run for June somewhere around Yakima. Some of us fish so we would probably throw some flies in the river B4 or after. P

Are the lights nice and bright when you turn them on? If not, you might have a bad cable. The cables can look OK on the ends but be corroded in the middle and won't flow enough juice to turn the starter. Check for cracks and cuts in the cable jacket. I forgot what year you have but you could...

loose connections Make sure your battery cables are bolted down securely on teh battery and the starter.

come out and play You need to check out this; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=99074&perpage=20&pagenumber=4 and get in on this; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=102103 :D

rebuild kit I bought what I thought was a hub rebuild kit from FPN. It turned out to be the big 'O' ring and the decal. That won't fix a thing, I returned it and went manual.

contact Chris Kris Guilbeaux from this site rebuilds them and sells them on EBay. if you have questions on how they work contact him by PM or Email.

When you cut them, make sure they are lined up, maybe secure the top first. They will be a PITA if you miss and they extend, you will have to push real hard to compress gas filled shocks and when you are under that truck, you won't have the best leverage!!!!:eek:

I went on the Discovery web site looking for that episode but didn't find it. Here's what I remember; The meat did not disolve, it rotted The tooth turned brown but that was all Didn't do anything as a degreaser Didn't loosen the rusted bolt Worked the same on the battery as distilled...

Myth Busters You guys need to watch Myth Busters on Discovery Channel. They tried all the mythical uses for Coke and the only one they thought was worth a damn was for cleaning chrome with aluminum foil.

My pavement princess is too stock for either Elbe or Evans Creek. I'm game for something by Yakima if it is on par with Tahuya. P

yes catch and release. I might schedule a float rip through 'The Evening Hatch' out of Ellensburgh. It's about $360/boat River will probably be too high for wading.

Gee, you had to pick the only hill I didn't make:rolleyes: That was a nasty little stump. dreamr didn't even try that one. otta love that turning radius, that was my biggest suprise. I don't know if you could have made it with 2wd , even locked Siekyre. I wouldn't have even tried it but you...

I might be up for that. I'll make it a long weekend and toss some flies in the Yak.:D

Fun had by the three of us. 1 rookie got stuck 1 rookie has some body damage The veteran kept the carnage to a minimum. Thanks jrgaylor for hanging with the two young families/rookies. I'm gald it's dark now so I don't have to look. The gap between right front fender and the...

124,000 and still going. seems to get hot when I tow the boat.
