    sodjer6 - 2004 XLT

    Well my Sport is showing her age(or rather I am) and it was time to move onto something a bit more on the comfy, less kidney jarring side. I wasn't actually planning to purchase my next vehicle until next year, however this one caught my eye. Stopped in to just look at it, got talked into test...

    Eating speedometer gears

    So my Explorer has suddenly developed a taste for speedometer gears. This all started after the oh so fun speedometer bounce. I replaced the VSS, speedometer gear on the VSS, and also had the VSS gear in the transfer case replaced. The first gear lasted about a week. Suddenly the speedometer was...

    Think I killed my Temp Gauge

    Well busy day today, I replaced all the lights in the dash, the thermostat, hoses, and the belt. Noticed after all this my temp gauge is sitting below the C, basically parallel to the floor. It was sitting right at the edge of the normal temp area, however as soon as I turned the key it dropped...

    Got hit on the highway

    by a fish... :p: sorry no pics On my way home from work, getting ready to merge from the on ramp and from the corner of my eye I see this huge bird. I'm hoping it changes direction or it's going to end up in or breaking my windshield. It must've realized that as well and suddenly changes...

    What did I do to my throttle cable

    Well, Friday night the bracket that holds the gas pedal assembly broke off. I have it bolted back on and gotten the pedal back in, but now after reattaching the throttle cable, the pedal sits about an inch off the floor. It's as if the cable has way too much slack in it or something, and it...

    Shock Question

    Since I can't seem to get an answer from Rancho themselves, I'll ask here. Do shocks have a "shelf-life"? I recently uncovered 2 RS5000's while cleaning the garage, I would guess these are 2-3 years old... They are still new and in the box. Thanks!

    Tranny Slipping at Hwy Speeds?

    I have very little knowledge about transmissions, so hopefully someone can help me base on my "simple" explanation. I can't find anything that would describe this occurence by searching. As I was going down the interstate saturday I went to pass a slower car. I was going about 75, and...

    sodjer6's '96 Sport

    Well I've been "Elite" since about the time I joined, so I figured it's about time to make a registry entry. My Explorer is still pretty much stock, for now. The mods so far are: Engine/Performance: 4.0L OHV, K&N Drop in Filter Lighting: Silverstar Headlamps, 55w "off-road" lights...

    Motor Mount is Going Bad?

    When I started my Explorer this morning I heard a few very loud thumps. The sound didn't continue. I drives fine, under heavy and normal Acceleration, in 2WD, 4Hi and 4Lo. However when I shut the motor off it thumps a few times again. Also when I'm going through mud/Ice should I hear...

    The "Recliner" handle on my Driver seat broke

    So there I was, thought I'd lean back and enjoy the stars through my moon roof while waiting for a train. I grabbed the handle to lean my seat back and the stupid thing snapped off. Does anyone know where I can get a new one and if I can install it myself, I’m fed up talking to the Dealer, they...
