Just got a 2005 Explorer 4 door 4x4. would like to get some nerf bars or running boards for it. anyone semi-local have any for sale?? thanks I am in South Carolina right now, gonna be going back to NY after Easter. thanks

here are the symptoms: when driving, I apply the brakes and the pedal is soft and not much braking, so I let off the pedal then push it again and then the pedal is firm and good braking. and when sitting in the X at a stop, if I push the pedal down I can feel it sink or drop a little...

got my KKM intake installed on my 5.0 yesterday, was pretty easy except the bolt you have to put through the small hole in the front sheet metal that holds the bracket, I guess my hands were just to big, it took me a while and a few curses to get it. in looks great, I didn't notice any...

I got out of the X and smelled gear oil, so I crawled underneth and noticed the front diff pinion seal is leaking. has anyone else had to fix this?? Is the job as straightforward as removing the driveshaft, the yoke, then simply replacing the oil seal, or are crush collars and shims...

I can unlock the doors with the button, but pushing lock does nothing, probably just the swich right??

going up hills or under a moderate load, I get a real strong catylist smell, like the exhaust is getting too hot, you know the "rotton-egg" smell. I don't have a CEL or misf-fire or anyghint, is it possible I have a cat clogging up?? any ideas what to check?? thanks

I swear it's always something with this POS. I went to get the X aligned today and the drivers side upper ball joint was shot. I replaced the passengewr side upper ball joint a few months back. On the driver side you have to replace the whole control arm. I spent a lot of money on this damn...

does anyone know if a Ranger front bumper would fit on a 96 Explorer?? I like the Ranger bumper with the 2 round foglights that sit below the bumper. It would be cool if it would fit, it would make an Explorer stand out I think. Any comments???

do all chips and programers require using high octane gas?? are there any that don't or is that defeating the purpose of them? Also what kind of HP gains do chips give to the 5.0L thanks!!

I jusgot some 31x10.50R15's mounted on the X, they look AWSOME with the shackles and TT!! My X really stands out from the thousands of other X's around now. The X definatly sits a little higher, I didn't really notice a loss in power, but I only drove it like 40 miles home. I did notice...

installed the WAR 153's today, wasn't bad except I had to remove my aftermarket hitch to get the stock shackle bolts out. I also had to use a small bottle jack to push the springs down to get the lower shackle bolt in. The rear end of my X was sagging pretty good, so after the shackles were...

I got a B&M shift plus about a month ago. I installed it and it worked fine, I drove around all day with it on setting one, about 50-60 miles. then as I was pulling in the driveway my O/D light started flashing. So I get the code read and it was a P1746-Electronic Pressure Control soliniod...

It was there for 3 weeks!! I brougt it there b/c my O/D light was flashing, turned out that the B&M Shiftplus I installed shorted out the Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) solinoid, which in turn shorted out my computer:eek: So while at the shop they installed a new EPC solinoid, a used...

can anyone tell me about what a shop would charge to install a Trans-Go kit?? Also since they are adjustable, whats a good setting to get a nice firm shift for a daily driver?? Thanks.

yup I ordered my Warrior shackles today, should be here in 3-5 days, I hope I get my X back form the tranny shop by then:frustrate then with the shackles, torsion twist and maybe some new 31's, the X should look a lot better and stand out from the crowd!!

when the X gets back from the tranny shop it's gonna need some new tires, I wanna step up to 31x10.50R15's, my questions regarding the shackle/TT lift are, will I need longer shocks?? And does "cranking up" the torsion bars stiffen the ride any?? anything else that needs to be done?? thanks...

O/D light starting flashing today, took it to get the code read, P1746-Electrical Pressure Control (EPC) solenoid-open circuit. So off to the tranny shop tomorrow, I was gonna change the fluid/filter and update the 1-2 shift accumulater, but now I guess I'll have the shop do it since they'll...

what is a better shift kit, a vavle body one like a TransGo, or an electronic on, like the B&M ShiftPlus?? Do they give similar results?? Obviously the ShiftPlus is an easier install. I was once told NOT to install a shift kit in a tranny with over 50,000 miles b/c the clutchs are already...

I have a re-occuring CEL, I am waiting to get a scanner next week, the $40 one from Habour Freight, but last time I had the codes ran at a shop I THINK there was a code for something to do with the EVAP system, and some kind of valve or something near the gas tank. Is this a common X problem...

I wanna change the ATF, how many qt's will I need, and what kind, and what filter, what is the name of the tranny in the 5.0L AWD?? Thanks!!

I can't seem to find where my front passnger side squeek is comimg from. It is very annoying and embarasing!! It happens when the suspension goes up/down AND when the wheel is turned left or right. So far I lossened all four control arm bolts and sprayed PB Blaster and white greese in there...

I removed all of my spark plugs except one, it is REAL tight. I even put a 1/2" drive rachet on there, but I am affraid to break/strip the plug. What should I do, spray some WD-40 around the plug (will that harm anything??), also is it better to try an remove the plug when the engine is cold...

What kind of spark plugs are you guys using in your V-8's?? About 20,000 miles ago, I changed the plugs and wires on the X. I used Champion 3013 Platinum plugs. About a week ago the X started to mis-fire, it got so bad the CEL came on yesterday, and today it was so bad I could barely drive...

I have an engine miss I can't seem to track down. It mainly happens in 4th gear, low RPM's under any load, say going up a slight hill or accelerating in OD. The CEL has NOT come on (yet). I have checked the plug wires, and the plugs only have about 15,000 miles on them. It really feels like...

Well, the X turned 100,000 miles today, and to my surprise, it didn't blow up!! Maybe I'll have better luck from this point on. I am preparing to do some maintnence very soon, please tell me if I am missing anything. 1) Change ATF and filter, how much fluid will I need?? 2) Change REAR...
