I just wanted to thank BIG COUNTRY for taking his time to write this thread, and I'm sure that just like me, there are lots of other Explorer owners out there who will find this thread extremely helpful. Thanks, man! .. and also, if you are looking to buy a message center for your Explorer, I...

.. and also, if you are looking to buy a message center for your Explorer, I bought me one at a junk yard off of an Explorer same year and engine as mine for 30 bucks! Most salvage yards have dozens of eddie bower and limited explorers, at least the ones here in Idaho--I've found over 10 message...

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about.. but I never thought it'd be that much trouble to install it. You mean I have to install sensors??? Won't just replacing the main harness suffice? And how do I get a hold of BIG COUNTRY, I'd really like to know how he did it.. wow! Sounds like an...

I think I'm going to go with the supercharger as soon as I have some money saved up.. I just spent 3 grand at the Ford dealer replacing my tranny that mysteriously failed at 40K miles. I tried contacting Ford on the issue but they denied me any assistance since my warranty just went out...

Has anybody out there tried this before??? C'mon.. I can't imagine that I am the first one to ever try this!

Thanks to all that replied. I think I'll probably try supercharging mine, if it's not too expensive. I already got 40K miles on my ex and I hope that's not a problem. I've always used fully synthetic oil with my engine if it makes any difference. Has anybody out there already done it, and if so...

How can I get more horsepower out of my stock SOHC?

Does anybody know how to install one of those system check units in an XLT? I bought one at a junk dealer (it came off of an Eddie Bower, same year same engine as mine) but I can't get it to work.. do I need to replace the entire harness? I thought maybe Ford used a universal harness in all...

Has anyone tried to install one of those system check units that come equiped in the center console of Eddie Bower and Limited Explorers? I bought one of those units at a junk yard off of an Eddie Bower, same year and engine as mine (I have a 2000 XLT with a SOHC) with the harness and...

I will try it and give you an update.. thanks much for all the good help!!!

The awfully loud rattling noise is coming from the exhaust! Thanks

Hey no problem, thanks for all the help. I'll keep checking..

Yes, the fog lights do turn on with the parking lights and or low beams. How can I do it so they'll stay on with high beams on? Has anyone out there done in a 99 or 2000 Explorer?

Thanks for the help, and for finding that thread for me. I'm going to try it once I get home. It should be the same for 95-01 models I don't know.. at least 98-00 should I think. I'm afraid of damaging something since I don't much at all about relays, I may need more detailed explanation I'm...

How can I search? I am new to the site and I have tried searching for a thread and only found my own.. I really would like to do it to mine. I can always turn off the foglights if in a situation where I don't need them. But most of the time I find it more helpful to have them on

Everytime I switch to high-beams my fog lights are automatically shut off and I find that really irritating. Does anybody out there know if it is possible to disable this feature? Thanks! Bruno 2000 XLT

well, I guess you guys are right. It wouldn't be worth swaping my SOHC V6 for a 4.6 V8. The reason I don't trade my 2000 in is because I really dislike the new 2002 bodystyle. I think the new Explorers are boxier and ugly and I'm really happy with my 2000. I just wish it had more power. I've...

is the new all-aluminum 240hp V8 compatible with the 5-speed automatic transmission in the SOHC V6 2000 Explorers? Is it possible to swap them?

Thanks, I'll try pushing down on the tail pipe next time but was the noise on your Explorer coming from the wheel well on the driver side?

I have a 2000 Explorer XLT with a SOHC V6 and it makes a very loud rattling noise when idling. The noise seems to be coming from underneath near the wheel well, specially on the driver side. Does anybody have any idea? Also, my rear windshield wiper doesn't work sometimes, but you can hear...
