This is driving me crazy. My 98 XLT has a new alternator and a new battery but it still won't keep a charge. Everytime I need to drive the truck (it's a 2nd vehicle) I have to jump start it. The battery stays charged for about a day. The last time I drove it, I parked forward in my driveway...

I bought a Vacuum & Pressure Tester (Actron) from Sears. This could be a dumb question but when it's not connected to anything shouldn't it read 0? I just took it out of the package and it reads 8 inches Hg.

I have a 1998 Explorer XLT, 4X4 that has started having some problems. It idles rough, hesitates, and almost dies when coming to a stop. The problem seems to be worst when it’s cold but it’s only marginally better when it’s warm. Here are the OBD Codes and the timeline: P1151: Fuel & Air...

I need a new trans and I'm leaning towards a reman unit instead of a rebuild. What are the general thoughts on this? I know the 5RR5E in my '98 X has quite a few known issues which is making me shy away from a rebuild. My shop recommended a Jasper but they're too d@mn expensive! Anyone ever...

I just bought a 98 XLT but it didn't come with a remote or the code for the door. Where do I get a new remote and how do I figure out the door combination?
