Hank; I have about the same problem with mine as you explain. Seems like I get the "whoosh" sound when im on the brakes more like in town. When on the highway and don't use the brakes alot it does not seem to be as bad. In town when I push the brakes seems like I can push them about a...

Great wirte up guys, alot of great information. Also good to put a face to the Doug name..lol I have also been dealing with Doug on my flasher and can't tell you enough how much he has done for support and help with my flasher. Truly a great guy to deal with. Mike

Thansk for all the info guys, sounds like I might just go ahead and buy a new BFG for the spare instead of taking any chances of messing anything up. My X does have the AWD system so might be best to buy a new spare. :)

Was just wondering what you guys thought about this. Im going on a good length drive later in the year pulling a small trailer. I have 30" BFG's all the way around now. If i get a flat would it be ok to use the OEM spare (good condition) or should I get another 30. Did not now how much...

I use Motorcraft filters with Mobil 1 5w30 with no problems.

Well guys just want to say that I decided to turn over my hand held flasher that I recieved from Apten about a little over a year ago to Doug from Bama Chips and see what different things he can offer. I have not been on the forums that much and one day I decided to play catch up and I saw the...

Man Spindle that looks sweet. I tried some stuff from Griots Garage and it sucked. Now I have to get the stuff off and I think I just might run down to the Harley dealer tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

Hey if you guys don't mind me asking, what happen with brian and Apten? Who does he work for now? Sorry for asking, but have been off of the forum for awhile.

I know since I read the tests on the Fram filter(wich I always used) I have never used them again. I went back to the tried and true MotorCraft FL1A filter. While I run Mobil 1 oil I still change every 3,000. Just does not seem right to go any more on it, like a old goat, I can't change...

Figure about 3500 total towing weight. 5 speed with new Apten Flashed computer, AAL in the rear on Monore SensaTracs at about a year old. Have factory trans cooler, aux filter and trans temp gauge added. I do need to change trans and rear diff fluided. You think the factory cooler is enough...

did some trailer checking, thinking I need a 6x14 enclosed if I go that route. About 1200 lbs in ATV's and the trailer weighs in at aprox 2050. I have a 3.73 Rear end. Any more Ideas or you guys still think I am ok. I would stay with the lower trailer hight of around 5.5' for less wind drag.

Thanks for all of the help so far. Right now I pull an 8x10 open trailer and do not use the OD, BTW if still wondering it's an auto tranny. Mike

I'm thinking of buying a new trailer and was wondering if any one on here pulls a inclosed trailer of a size of 7x12 or 7x14 somewhere in there. How does the explorer pull it at highway speeds of 65 or so. Not sure how the 4.0 will pull trailer like that with two 600lbs ATV's inside.

OK guys here we go, and yes I did do a search first..lol. I am wainting to get the Westin Bull Bar with Skid plate or the new Go Rhino "Rhino Charger with skid". No one I have found makes them for my pictular Explorer (99). Do you guys know of anyone offering this setup or something real...

Had a 99 Contour with SVT mods. Had the cats and pre cats removed with MIL eliminators that i had made from Radio Shack parts. Had good power but it was all on the top end. I know guys not good for our air but it got totaled so it is no longer around anyway. BTW ran great with no CEL.

I use Griots and seems to work real well for me.

Ha maybe that is why nobody is really saying anything..lol Would like to do the Explorer but I don't want to use my everyday vehicle. Looked at a few older Explores but just can't seem to find any cheep enough. Thanks on the info though. Any one else care to give any ideas.

Hey guys I have recently takeing a short tour in a lifted Jeep Cherokee of the RockPort Offroad Park in RockPort IL. I do alot of ATVing and wanted to check the place out, but it is also a full offroad park. The owner was nice enough to give me and my wife our real first taste of offroading in...

Thats the way I use for my Explorer and my ATV's. Vary easy way to do it once you get used to it.

All great sites Fastcougar. wish a truck never ran into me almost head on in my Tour. 99 Contour sport with SVT mods also had a great exhaust done by the CarDoc on FCO. But would have never bought the X if I still had the Tour.

Looks good man keep us updated on changes.

Well I think I can help you with this one. I have a 99 and the left side went out, went to the ford dealer and you need to replace the buttons. No light bulbs, the other thing is they both come wired togeather, left and right side. About 60 dollars for the cruise control buttons at my local...

Hey guys I have the same problem in my 99 SOHC. Keep us updated as you find anything out.

Yes I do agree there is alot stuff in the cat. that is just fun to look at but never buy. I just stick to their waxes and cleaners.

I new I saw it somewhere. :D
