I have 2005 V6 with a small evap leak. i have already replaced the fuel cap twice and wondering if there is a common problem on these cars that i could start with cause i really dont feel like paying a shop or dealer 200 plus dollars to find a problem i could of fixed in 30 min.:salute:

alright you gave me the insiration, so as soon as i get done with the drawing i put up here.

one thing that i have think about latley is if the new ford 6.2l engin and tranny could fit in a third gen. what do you think? is it possible?:salute:

hey, where did you get that work done, cause thats exactly what i want to do to my 05 then take down and race in the calss 6 baja

from what i have seen of the new X, it has alot in common with what i have seen with the ford kuga in europe http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/Kuga Since ford is considdering making as much of their cars global as they can, i would be surprised f this is wat they are during:salute:

Thats cause A) they are great cars/trucks (3rd and fourth gens i consider both) and B) now one knows exactly what kind of vehicle the next X will be. and on this car don not buy it, to me it looks like who ever owned it before did not take good car of it and the dealer is being shady bout the...

thanks guys, and be sure to worn everyone else to a aviod these things

does anyone know if these programmers work? http://rs4performance.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1088:salute:

lets not forget guys, tanks and air craft are of unibody design, done right they can be stronger that a body on chassis design. but alot of time done right doesnt mean done inexpensively.:salute:

i got that habit from on the official names for, and alot of time unibodies will have sub frames on them.

does anyone know of any long travel suspensions available for an 05? and if not, how difficult it would be to fab one up? alonge the same lines, is there any wide body kits for the third gens?:salute:

what you dont realize is that these thing put down some pretty impressive torque numbers. my stock 05 v6 makes about 265 ft/lds (using high qual lubes and k&n OE filter) at about 3500 rpm and the v8 puts down around 280ft/lbs at 4000 rpm. so with basic mods youe can get close to 300 ft lbs with...

i wouldnt have a problem with it, if they didnt call it somthing other than an explorer. but to me it will never be one. however, reaise 2 inches, longe travel front a rear suspension, put 32inch tires and really reinforct the fame with some sorta rol cage, you got your self a mini 6 passenger...

its just a thought at the moment. i'm looking to turn it into a bit of a desert racing truck and i am looking to get a bit of more control over the tranny.:salute:

what i am looking for is a good long travel suspension for my '05. i am also considering a tranny swap for a 5 speed in the future ans wondering if it has been tried and what ones will work. and lastly is ther anyone that make 3v heads for the v6 or is that goin to be a completely custom job.

a kindly used private rental, such as one from interprise is virtually non existent cause no one out there feel as though they are personally liable for the car, but cooperate rentals, like the one a buisness gives in people to drive when on a trip give taken well care of.

it should pass just fine, my 05 does.

out of curiousity, is the frond diff gasket the same in the front as in the reat, or is there specific one that i have to get or make for it. and is the front limited slip or is that just the rear:salute:

depends on trim, miles, engine, condition, and 4wd. a '04 4wd v6 xls with 60,000+ miles lookin at bout 6k. with v8 look for about a 5-15% increase in price depending on seller, dealers add bout another 2,000 to price and private sellers are 50-50 on quality and honesty. best bet is find a kindly...

to me it sounds more like something in your power steering system, make sure that there is no p/s fluid leaking

first make sure its your wiper blades that are whistling then see if it is the type of blades you have on it that are making the noise (eather take oif the blades and go for a drive or put some flex blades on it) and finally make sure the blade arms are at the correct angle

Does anyone know anything about these intakes and do you think they are worth the money (bout $250 from summit) http://www.knfilters.com/universal/apollo thanks

also to, if the bearings and diffs havent been serviced, do it before 70,000mi if not sooner, if your past that do it now before major damaged and expensives repaires are needed

one thing that you could do is make sure that there is nothing blocking the intake tube. and depending on the milage could also be the torque converter or bad tranny fluid. (always use the good fluid when dealing with fords, ive found that the like the motorcraft or valvoline full synthetics)...
