    Explore's Truck

    For those of you who don't know I drove her into a tree, and bought a F-150, any good enthusiasts sites out there for them? :D

    :(

    Well gents scrapped her today got 2200 for it. I found myself a nice 2000 F-150 XLT with 100k for 4500. Sad to see the explorer go but this F-150 is gorgeous. I'll put some pics up in my registry later.

    1998 Ford Explorer Sport - Horn - wire-color.

    Hell I couldn't even find mine before I hit a tree with the damn thing. Wish this thread had existed a month or two ago, then maybe I coulda scared that SOB outta the way. The Haynes manual was indeed a complete let down on this for me to.

    Was doing around 40ish and I'm probably gonna aim for an f-150 or a v8 splorer.

    :(

    Everyone made it out alright it was just me and my ipod. I was coming down a hill doing about 40 on a somewhat what road and the rear kicked out and I skidded into either a wall or a tree they both were in the same place. I broke my femur and bruised a few ribs but the son of a ***** saved my...

    2003 Eddie Bauer

    7.5k for a v6 EB '03 with that many miles is asking for trouble unless it was a highway only and garaged constantly. Id have to say try looking elsewhere. I also seem to recall that 2003 may have been a trouble year but I'm not sure, someone else can probably get at that for you. I found my...

    Engine wut?

    This probably a crazy question. But is it possible to take a 5.0l v8 from my dad's 95' f150 and put it in my 98' sport and get rid of the OHV? Is this crazy talk? I only ask this because my dads truck is slowly dieing and I plan on scavenging the engine as it only has 30k on it since it was a...

    "Door Ajar" light on constantly

    I don't know if this will help but my explorer tends to whine at me for an open door, it seems to be happening cause the locking mechanism dosen't shut the door all the way. I just keep closing it till it shuts off. A can of WD40 seemed to help to.

    Annoyingly loud creeking noise?? Help please!!

    I have the same thing but I just think its my powersteering being old. My Dads F150 has the same thing and whines like a ***** when you turn all the way in a certain direction. However mine definetley dosen't make that noise on bumps and while driving it dosen't whine, just at low speeds and...

    I don't know I've been doing some serious thinking bout the paint and I saw that the cap near me has a nice big think of Herculiner. Would it be more worth it to buy that and just Liner the things most likely to get roughed up Offroad. For example everything thats gray in the pic It dries...

    Ya the acceleration was it just being a bear up hills. And I think I may just go for black its looking to be cheaper to get them to just sand the old shiz off and get a new coat of Glossy Black.

    Its not that bad considering he gave me a 3,000 mile warranty. As far as mods go I'm definetley lifting her at some point. I wanna get 32's and I already know I need new shackles cause her ass is sagging really bad. But thats down the road after the winter. Before the new year hits I'd like to...

    Its acutally six and I'm going to change the oil before I take the trip down to Penn. As far as the loss of power goes I just think its a fairly bad hill, I noticed in both my Dad's truck and the girls GTO that at about 3 thousand rpm there is a slight jump on theres and since the truck and GTO...

    Nothing on the can said anything about an oil change, nor did the person who made the How To for the SOHC. We'll find out in a month or so cause I just got my oil changed :D

    1/3 in the tank 1/3 in the oil and 1/3 in the BB. She sat for 10mins and honestly it barely even smoked while I was driving I had to get it over 2k rpm to even see anything come out the exhaust. By the time I hit the hill no smoke was coming out anymore.

    Explore's Truck

    Its all the way on to the white cap and the clamp is in the same spot cause there is a rust stain I used to figure out where to put it back on :D I'm also noticing a way rougher idle. Is it possible the Seafoam knocked something loose? Either way I'm going to make a thread in the transmission forum.
  24. E

    Explore's Truck

    The Seafoam didn't do in the 4w it was questionable for awhile I just didn't get the time to mess around with it until today. Do you need to get PCV sealant for the booster line or is it fine? That might be why :D I hope

    How to: Seafoam Your 4.0 SOHC

    Sploder Innards need cleaning please assist good Sirs. Well I'm running a 4.0L OHV 98' sport and I have no idea where to poor my can of Seafoam in (Engine wise). Is the booster alright in a OHV if I want a good clean or is there some better way? The bottle says the entry point should be able to...

    Oh lawdy my horn ain't honkin!

    I fixed it, turned out the fuse I replaced after I noticed the original short also sploded. I followed the wire to the dash and it turns out the moron who owned her before me had slowly crushed the wire with their steering wheel. I kinda wish I hadn't though for such a loud and angry truck...

    Well after WD40ing the hell out of my truck, I felt that it was time to post some pictures. Granted I made her feel rather embaressed with the 2x4 BUT thats what you get for costing me an entire can of liquid wrench and still not being able to get off my lower fog lights...

    How to: Seafoam Your 4.0 SOHC

    I'm running a 4.0L OHV 98' sport and I have no idea where to poor my can of Seafoam in (Engine wise). Is the booster alright in a OHV if I want a good clean or is there some better way? Reason I'm posting in the SOHC is because I can't find a thread with the slightest hint on a OHV :(

    Oh lawdy my horn ain't honkin!

    Thats awesome but it dosen't fix the horn :\ I may not have been clear in my other posts but my horn does not sound AT ALL unlock, alarm or w/e. Would the clockspring still cause that? Regardless I probably need a new one since my cruise control is toast. If it does then awesome I'll go to...

    Oh lawdy my horn ain't honkin!

    Well I think my horn may just not work and my clockspring may be toast as my cruise control no longer works. I did fix all my lights though :)

    Oh lawdy my horn ain't honkin!

    Ya my problem is that I have nothing it dosen't sound when I lock it, it dosen't work if I hit panic or if I smash the button. I found out were its at so I'm gonna give it a look, and I'll try and see if my Cruise control works while im on the way to the auto store today. I do have the beeps...

    Oh lawdy my horn ain't honkin!

    Ya pretty much. I've checked the fuses in the engine box and they are all good but when I smash my wheel no honkey come out. I checked the Haynes manual and the owners for any wiring diagram for the horn and have had no luck any tips gentlemen?

    As far as I've been able to tell shackles will require a TT if you want to ride even as a BL Kit will raise the entire body.
