    Brakes shot. What to buy?

    Thanks for the tire suggestion. You are right it is possible. However it is noisy regardless of me running the factory 18" wheels and winter tires (currently on), or the limited 20" wheels and tires I run in summer. I would really like to figure it out. Dealer nearby is going to have to...

    Brakes shot. What to buy?

    Well I ordered everything from rockauto.com and it showed up in satisfactory condition. Hub order was shipped separately from the brakes. Did install of both on the weekend. Bled brakes on each corner, rather than squeeze it back into the system while compressing pistons on calipers, that...

    Brakes shot. What to buy?

    I asked for people's opinions on the matter, so thanks for sharing yours. Nothing wrong with having a different point of view, but I always like to ask why...... I thought about going OEM. In my opinion, it is a little overpriced and there probably ARE better quality items for cheaper or...

    Brakes shot. What to buy?

    Thinking of doing the Powerstop K1443 on Rockauto.com for $326. Includes pretty much everything I need I think. Just not sure about the pads. Too aggressive? I don't want squealing..... wife will kill me. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=3798573&cc=1434502&jnid=658&jpid=5

    Help Please Which TPS to Buy

    Update: I have the new part but never installed it. Cleaned the MAF, TB, verified range / no dead spots in range of TPS, cleaned the electrical connections and inspected the wiring. I put it all back together and no further issues so far.

    Help Please Which TPS to Buy

    Motorcraft TPS on order from the USA. (I want to have this on hand anyway if it turns out to be something else.) Anyone have any help to offer on what the different wires are on 4 wire TPS used by the 4th gen explorer? Searching did not yield much help for me. Any help greatly appreciated...

    Tire monitor fault

    Burn it to the ground, that's the only sure fix I know of. Seriously. I wish there was a way to disable all TPMS operation: nothing but problems in my '07 with it, and warranty is long gone. This (FordTechMakuloco) vid might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMevsqjSEIQ I have basically...

    Help Please Which TPS to Buy

    Great link, I hadn't found that one yet. Much appreciated. I am on the lookout for a better OBDII reader that does live value. Can anyone recommend anything in particular? I am also open to the idea of a computer program that does the same that I can install into windows based laptop or...

    Help Please Which TPS to Buy

    I am not 100% sure I need the TPS yet, but I am about 90% certain it is the culprit; I just need more time to play and diagnose. I have read a lot of the threads on this subject. Which TPS would you buy: Motorcraft DY-1164 or the ECHLIN (don't have model # handy at the moment) from Napa...

    2008 Explorer hi/low HID kit error messages

    No. Wife thought it was too much hassle and I ended up upgrading her halogen bulbs and installing piaas on the truck for her. she was content with that, as the look was the same as what she wanted.

    2008 Explorer hi/low HID kit error messages

    I have searched, and several people have stated that they've tried these modules only to find they do nothing to fix the bulb out warning. It is looking more and more like these are snake oil and that the best way to fix this is to add resistance of some sort such as a resistor or small...

    2008 Explorer hi/low HID kit error messages

    Yes, it is set up with a relay, as stated above. While the lights function just fine, the bulb out warning is the real problem..... I need to find a way to satisfy or defeat the computer so I do not get the warning. It is so annoying and very distracting. I can not live with it and have...

    2008 Explorer hi/low HID kit error messages

    OK, I'm new to the forum and before I get flamed, yes I have searched this topic extensively for a couple of weeks already, both here and searching HID vendors and talking to people. I have gotten so many different answers that I am unsure which way to go with this..... I have installed...

    HID Install Problems.

    Ignore my first post. (Lost the quote.) There is such a thing as and HID kit that uses an HID capsule for the low beams and has a halogen bulb right next to it for the highs. This is contained on a single bulb base. If this is what he has, then this makes sense to me and the rest of...
