    What Stock Gear Ratio?

    Sig explains it all. 4.10's arent too bad. Havent averaged anything less than 20.2 mpg. Best was 21.6. Although Ive only gotten gas I think 5 times since I got the truck in late May. The Explorer only got 19 mpg highway if i was lucky....

    How would a heater core cause the motor to run cool? And Ive always used 192 degree t-stats. I dont really ever use my heat over level 2 on the HVAC. Shane

    Low budget 2" lift???

    I bought mine from a guy off here. They were new. For $40 plus shipping. And I got the coil spacers from Ford (sadly) for $30 for both. The most expensive part was the alignment and camber kits for both sides. Shane

    While I'm having a Flowmaster 50 put on.....

    I had a Flow 40 put on mine. I had a resonator on it after the muffler, so I could barely tell a difference.. well, I just cut the resonator and exhaust tubing off after the muffler. It was incredibly loud, but since then Ive gotten use to it. Dont really notice it. Cant really tell over my mud...

    Ignition coil???

    Back in October.. my starter solenoid got "frozen" in the ON position.. it would click just once... I beat on it a few times and it started.. I should have gone home.. but stopped to eat about 20 miles from home... bad idea. I tapped and beat on it for about an hour, even tried to bypass the...

    New Therm Stat = Better Mpg

    I think this is a good spot for me to add in. Last April I changed my thermostat to find that it was bad (seeing as the spring was compressed and open full time). So with the new T-stat in, it warmed up fairly enough, just above the N in NORMAL. Over the summer, it stayed right there, but as...

    Tires, Gears, effect on MPH and RPM, etc.

    I tried all four equations. RPM=1900 MPH=65 Tire Size=31 Gear Ratio=3.55 With those numbers, these are the answers I got. 40.8" tire (I wish!!) 2.69 gear ratio 49.3 mph at 1900 rpm 2501 rpm at 65 Didnt work too well for me.

    U HAUL AGAINST EXPLORERS!!!!

    I read a small article today out of the new Car & Driver Magazine about a guy (forget the name or location) that attempted to roll a Mazda Navajo repeatedly.... but failed over and over. There was a picture with the article. I could tell there was plenty of speed to roll it over, but in the...

    How many windshields has your X/Mutantneer gone through?

    150K with the factory windsheild. Why are you guys replacing them 3 and 4 times? Just catching rocks? Or vandilism ? Shane

    Pics wanted of big rims on 1st Gen X

    17's or 18's would look the best IMO. Did you forget about KCAX? I dont ever see the explorer anymore.

    About Lowering

    I helped a friend of mine lower his 94 xlt. He used ranger 2" drop coils and got 2" blocks for the rear. EDIT: The ride was soft, so you might include a sway bar kit to your better handling project.

    Pocket bike mods

    I have a 47cc. Stock... I GPS'd it at 27.6 mph. I got a 40 somethin tooth rear sprocket.. then re-GPS'd it at 41.6 mph. I lost alot of torque. But its all about the top end.. The sprocket set me back $30. I think thats the best bang for your buck. These motors runs like junk if you have no...
