    Can someone explain this vibration?

    I posted my problem in the stock section but no one seems to have any input but since I do have a 2.25F/1.75R lift that may or may not be contributing to my problem I thought I would post it in here. The problem I am experiencing is a vibration under acceleration that can be lightly felt in...

    Rear CV Axles?

    I need to replace my my rear cv axles as they have developed play up and down. I do have a BTF 2.25F/1.75R lift so I don't want to get a junk brand since they are at more of a angle.

    Wierd Vibration

    I have a 2003 Explorer 4x4 4.0L engine. I am getting a weird vibration and grinding sound when I accelerate. It sounds like the vibration/grinding is coming from the back but I can't tell because the entire truck is vibrating/grinding like crazy. On a paved road when I accelerate you would think...

    Sunroof Flap?

    I have an 03 Ford Explorer and I was cruising down the highway and opened the sunroof. Later on it looked like it was about to rain so I went to close it but wouldn't close all the way towards the end. Found out this black flap was preventing it from closing.

    I made a thread a while ago about which muffler to get Flowmaster or Magnaflow but couldn't decide.

    Radio Power Line

    A couple of weeks ago I purchased a Pioneer AVHP4200dvd in dash system. When I first installed the unit the screen kept going to the open CD position back and forth as soon as I messed with the eject or tilt option so I assumed it was a broken unit. I sent it back to the place I bought it at to...

    Creaking Noise in Rear End

    This problem started happening a couple of days ago and has gotten progressively worse. I wouldn't mind if it only did this when parked though it's so loud even when I'm driving.
