I had been having my 99 XLT sitting for a few months while I drive my other car. Prior to letting her sit, the check engine light had come on, the engine was running a bit rough, and I knew I had some kind of coolant leak. I decide it is time to start driving her again for the winter time. I...

Hey there everyone. I am interested in purchasing an engine with over half as many miles as mine does. I am wondering if anyone would have an idea as to what prices I should be looking for when searching for someone to do the swap for me? The owner of the engine says he would be able to do the...

Ok, I have a listing on Craigslist. It is just for 10.00. So, I've been talking to this guy for a couple of days via email, as well as phone. He finally come by a few minutes ago. I show him the item, I give a brief story as to why I do not need them any more, and he says "thanks" while...

The previous owner had all four wheels balanced the day prior to me purchasing. I have the receipt. However, if I go above 65mph, I feel a slight vibration. The faster I go, the greater the vibration is. I do have a steering squeak, so it looks as though I need to replace the ball joints...

Well, I wanted to make just "one thread" as I continue making progress on getting this truck cleaned up. First, I started with replacing the carpet. Initially I had attempted to just clean it, however it was not going to work. Here are the before and after pictures: After...

I believe it is fair to say I would rather trust a suggestion from a member on here than an owner/worker from a mechanic shop looking for a profit. I'd like to get to know some of the active users from or around the Sacramento area. I'd like to help out with projects if you have some, or...

Is there another name for these? I have tried searching with the information provided, however I am not coming up with anything. I wanted to know what others have said about these. Likes / dislikes. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/1647208616.html For Sale are a set of (4) BRAND...

I started on replacing my filthy seat belts, and wanted to give a "how-to". Difficulty scale from 1-10: 2. This is a VERY easy and simple project that makes a huge difference to you and your passenger as you put the seat belts on for each drive you take. Here are two of the belts side by...

This is not my listing. Just found it, and remembered reading recent conversation regarding regarding them??? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/1641518322.html

If you have been following some of my threads, I have been replacing and cleaning my interior of my newly purchased 99' XLT. Here is my carpet replacement thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272522 I then found and replaced the floor mats...

These two sets of tires are same size, as well as price (390.00). However, one set is for mud, and the others are for all terrain. If same price and size, and the mud set is OK for normal driving, I'd like to pick them up rather than the all terrain. However, if the mud tires are not safe for...

All subjects regarding the HVAC lights during my search also include the dash lights, or dimmer switch, etc. These are not my issues. The dimmer switch works, as well as dash lights. It seems that it is only the HVAC lights that do not work. I doubt it will be as easy as a fuse since the...

I have an opportunity to pick up some nice clean floor mats, however I do not know for a fact if they will fit my 99' XLT. They are from an 02' Sport. Here is a picture if you may be able to compare the looks of them to your OEM floor mats. Thank for your input.

When removing the center console, I found one huge plug plugged in which controlled the rear radio/HVAC. I also found spliced, thick, brown wires that look possibly to be speaker wire? The plug in question I found is smaller, and was not plugged into anything at all. I am hoping it may be the...

After purchasing my X, it took less than an hour to decide that the carpet needed cleaning. I purchased a Bissell Pro Heat vacuum in an attempt to pick up most of the stains, and get rid of the oder. This failed attempt lasted for a whole weekend trying to clean this up. After the clean, here is...

Hello once again. I am going to be replacing my seat belts, and I need some advice. How do you replace the belts and mechanisms? Is there a way to snake them out of the hole(s) of the plastic trim, or is the trim supposed to be replaced with the belt and mechanism as a whole? I have...

Well, now that I know what the purpose of this hole is for, reply and provide content to the subject, and let us know how you use this area for yourself. Original post:

So I get off work, and move the X out of the spot to park my work truck keeping it running. I get back into the X and start driving, noticing that the "O/D off" light is on. Well, I didn't want to get onto the highway w/o OD, so pull up next to the office, and turn the truck off. I then attempt...

I am wondering if people who have replaced their cargo area with replacement (non OEM) carpet could chime in and tell me how they went about with the area behind the seats? The section I am referring to is not the seats themselves, however the area that resides just behind them, that flip up...

Wondering were the wife and I could get some first timer wheeling done in Sacramento? I've wheeled before up in the Sutter Buttes YEARS ago with my Yota, but I need something to test the waters with the XLT to get familiar with it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :thumbsup:
