1998 sport 5 SPD vibrations...
Picked up a nice one but has a vibration on the gear shifter while driving if the rpms are less than 2200. It happens in all the gears. Payday, I'm going to change the plugs, wires, and filters. Is there anything else to look at that?- RogerL

How many gallons is the gas tank on everyones Explorer?
How do y'all fill up? I run the tank down to alittle less than 1/8, just above the red area. My normal mileage is 399-401 mile( town driving) and takes 22 gals but when I fill up, I fill all the way up to the gas cap. The filler tube must hold an extra 1.5 gals. Roger- RogerL

question about getting flowmaster muffler
Most Mufflers shops have a hydraulic pipe bender that also crimp or enlarge pipes. If you want 2.25 or 2.5 just ask the muffler man to see if he has the pipes in stock. Just don't go to large because you can loss backpressure(not a good thing). Roger- RogerL

question about getting flowmaster muffler
If you going to have a shop install the muffler then it don't really matter if the inlet/outlet is offset or not. The guys installing the pipes will make it work.
