    '04 Drive Train Problems

    Hello... I don't know anything about mechanics or technical things... but here is my 2003 XLT 4x4 with almost 33,000 miles - lots of clanky noise when shifting (automatic) from D to P or R to D, etc... I just drive my vehicle, I don't catch air with it or tow anything, so I don't get it... here...

    Firestone taking their time replacing tires

    Of all the tires in the world... 18 months?! I wouldn't wait that long, that's too risky. The cupping issue is what brought me to Wilderness ATs. The OE Goodyear tires began cupping at 20k (sounds like someone is pounding inside the wheelwells when you apply the brakes). So I went to F'stone...

    Firestone taking their time replacing tires

    I think BR/F'stone messed up the recall... People can die and have died as a result of using these tires - that is extremely serious. And this is the second time for them with this kind of faulty tire. I hope none of us kicks the bucket while waiting. I may just change my tires today and not...

    Firestone Tire Recall

    The wait... My VD tires will be replaced on 8/31. The new ones are almost identical to the Wilderness in style, I don't know it they are HT or AT though. Isn't BF/F'stone assuming a serious liability by having customers wait weeks for a new set? I would prefer to purchase a comparable new...

    What makes the Explorer prone to rollovers?

    Cell phones too... Hookin' a turn with a cell phone in your hand is crazy! Put down the phone and slow down! You can always call them back.

    High milage explorers?

    Thermostat & Heater Valve I'm not sure if the name is correct, but Winter 1999/2000 @ 70,000 miles the Heater Valve exploded and the Thermostat freaked out at the same time. $250.00 Parts and Labor. Nothing else. 2wd, man.tran., Sport 79,400 miles.

    Opinions on Setting Up my System

    Amp Sub combo Last question about this. I went with the Pioneer A6865 6x8's on all corners, they sound great and I avoid cutting for tweeters. I'd like to get the 8" Pioneer sub, but should the amp be a Pioneer like the speakers or a Kenwood like the head unit? Thanks in advance!

    Opinions on Setting Up my System

    Thanks! I'm comparing prices on amps and an 8" sub. This is what happens to first-time upgraders, everyone wants to sell us the most expensive vs what we want. Thanks for the help!

    Opinions on Setting Up my System

    Thanks! 2dr/2wd 96 sprt. Thank you! I went to a big name store and they tried to sell me a 4-channel $250 amp, $550 double din stereo, two pairs of $200 speakers, etc...(no sale!) I bought the $99 Kenwood w/cd controls and a Kenwood 10 disk cd changer. I am also replacing the four...

    Opinions on Setting Up my System

    Amp? Is an amp absolutely necessary when adding tweeters and a subwoofer? What if I just add tweeters, is an amp necessary? Nice audio site - http://www.000-audio.com/index.html
