    Wiring harnesses/trip computer

    Anything is possible, although there are not premade connections available. From my research into the matter I have ascertained that you need at least 1 sensor (windshield washer level) and a good deal of splicing. I am currently on the hunt for some ford explorer wiring diagrams/schematics to...

    SOA/TT/Shackles/I'm an idiot

    Okay, I've done several searches on a lot of the topics that I'm going to broach here, and haven't been able to find complete answers... so here goes: SOA: I am very interested in this conversion, and from what I understand you only need another mounting plate welded to the axle for the leaf...

    dose any one have the air tornado?

    air tornado i bought a similar product that works the same way about a year ago.... it was DEFINITELY bogus. i have tried it in every vehicle I have had since I got it and it has done NOTHING. It even got me worse gas mileage on the explorer (5.0) probably because it was blocking what little...

    What performance chip do you have?

    hypertech bought at same time as hypertech for my trans am... must say, when first installed, I was pissed. Seemed to change absolutely nothing, no faster, no much better shifting... THEN.... I changed out thermostats as the hypertech booklet recommends. This is very key in making...

    Da Truck (can't believe I didn't post here)

    hypertech PP3 w/ 170 degree thermo - $320 if you remove the mass air flow screen, you can see slightly better air flow numbers. all it is there for is to remove very large debris to keep it from hitting the MAF sensor and possibly damaging it. IMO this could really only happen if you...

    LS1 or LT1

    hmmmm depends on what you are looking for: having driven both an ls and owning an lt, I can tell you the pull of the lt is a lot more fun. the lt1 develops its torque MUCH lower, and seems to pull harder. the ls had more of that import feel where it pulls in low rpm ok them starts dragging...

    GMC is just stupid

    technology use don't forget about gm's new inline six, the 270/270 hp/tq six they're putting in the trailblazer and envoy . I believe that is DOHC. I think GM is trying for a break out in the use of new technology. Their sports car lines have always been somewhat behind in technology but...

    please help fast...

    could be one of the lines to the fuel evap canister... or just a random vacuum line... this is where a small roll of duct tape would be good.... if you can find some way to keep them together, but if you cant and the truck seems fine without it... just drive it.

    Question about Autozone

    up until about a year ago I never had a problem with them, always good parts, etc... my first bit of bad luck was a sticking brand new thermostat.... since then its gone downhill last week the batt in my trans am died. took it in to be tested before I bought one just in case. They charged it...

    Normal running temp... I have a question

    I think you should change it yourself if you want to. On my V8 at least it was the easiest thermostat I have ever done. I change mine out for a 180, stays in the low end of the temp (just above1st line in normal) My exhaust smells normal, no fuel smell, I get BETTER gas mileage since the...

    .... chuckle... just got a bonus.. so I have the money.. but...... finances aren't looking so good.. so me and the wife decided to play it cool and not spoil ourselves for a while and pay some stuff off.... so probably not going to be able to get rims... UNLESS... we NEED them for the...

    95+ console computer

    didn't know explorerunderground was being sold.. that's interesting (BTW I hate that decal.. but the wife wanted it on). Well so far I've spend about 2 hrs behind my dash checking everything out... still no luck... Is there anyone in the Charleston, SC area +/- 50 miles or so that has one...

    can I or can't I?

    update just found out I'm not going to get the rims.... stupid company messed up and they no longer have the rims... would have to pay 20 bucks extra and 1 less wheel (4 instead of 5) and the wife was pissed about the whole deal and said no. so: now I'm really looking at putting these tires on...

    can I or can't I?

    well.... I would wait, but it wont cost me anything to mount them now. I have a friend who can do it for free. As far as waiting for the rims... I ordered them 9/11... they said no more than 2 weeks. I went in today to check up cuz they're late.. and they didn't have any record of them.. so...
