Does anyone know how tall the fuel pump assembly is in a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport? I suspect that mine has failed and I'm wondering if there is enough clearance above the tank to replace it without dropping the tank or cutting an access panel. With the 3" body lift that I have, there is...

So my rear axle breather hose is funny. I'm not sure how, but it usually ends up dislodging itself from the hole in the axle housing. I'm not talking about the hose sliding off the nipple, I'm talking about the threaded piece coming out of the threaded hole in the axle housing. The weird part...

So I went wheeling two weeks ago, and then my 2000 Sport sat for a few weeks because I was riding my motorcycle while the weather was still nice in the Northeast. Today it rained, and I went to drive it, and I'm getting a pretty nice growl/roar/hum from the front end. I jacked the front end...

Last time I went up to Canada, I had a radar detector with me. I didn't know they were illegal, so it was confiscated and I received a $175 ticket. I'm planning another trip to Ontario, this time without a radar detector, but now I'm driving a lifted Explorer which I was not driving last time...

I think the Whoops forum is the best place for this, but if it's not, mods, please move it. http://barrier1.us/ Cool technology, but ouch!

I figured I'd take this opportunity to share my pictures with the community and to plug Jamscal's awesome work. He was even able to accommodate my 3" body lift! I was tired of having the 33" tire in the hatch area of my truck, and strapping it to the roof destroyed my fuel economy, so I...

I installed a 3" body lift a few months back, and in doing so, I overtightened the bolts and stripped out the factory body mounts. I'd like to replace the mounts/bushings, but I'm not sure where to get the parts. The Daystar kit (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DYS-KF04009BK/?rtype=10)...

Found this on Reddit. This is not my Explorer: http://i.imgur.com/sppAY.jpg

I'm interested in swapping a Dana 44 into my 2000 Sport. I'd like to have coil springs and radius arms. What trucks should I be looking for the axle to come from? I'd like the axle to be as close to the same width as stock, and it'd be cool if I could grab radius arm mounts, radius arms, coil...

4.0L OHV engine I've been losing coolant for a while, and just today I saw where it was coming from. It appears to be pooling on the engine mount right in front of the oil filter. Can a failed head gasket cause coolant to leak outside the engine? My buddy seems to think it's coming from...

Just finished fixing a stripped wheel stud and replacing the parking brake shoes so I took some pictures. This is The Beast as she sits right now with bedliner where the tupperware used to be:

I've never seen any posts about these, so I'm curious what other members think of them: http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/hicountry-offroad-dring-mount-p-9582.html They're basically shackle mounts that bolt to the bottom of the frame. I'd like to hang them from the front of my Ex because I...

I tried searching for this, but couldn't find the info I was looking for, so if someone could point me to a thread that contains the info, I would be very grateful. I have a 2000 Explorer Sport, M50D manual trans and the OHV 6-cyl engine. The knob on my dash has three settings, Auto, 4 Hi...

I just recently trimmed the fenders so I could stuff some 33s on, but I'm curious how others have prevented rust on the newly exposed edges. I'm in the Northeast, so rust is a serious problem here. I plan on doing bedliner where the trim pieces used to be, but i dont expect it to stick to the...

Hey I just did a 3" body lift on my 2000 Explorer Sport, but I think in wrestling with the steering extension, I may have accidentally rotated the steering wheel 360 degrees, but I'm not sure. I read somewhere (I believe in ShadowRaven's PA883 install write-up) that this can cause the airbags...

I saw some maglite stuff on Amazon, so I decided to buy a 4 d-cell LED maglite and some mounting brackets to go with it. It fits perfectly in my 2000 Sport just in front of my stickshift. I like it because it's easily reachable, low and well secured in the event of an accident, and bright as...

Does anyone know where I can get a set of Cragar Soft 8's with some 33s already mounted shipped to my house? I know places like tirerack do packages like that, but they don't carry Cragar wheels, so no go. I'd even be interested in a set of used ones if someone had them with 33s on them for sale.

I've got a 2000 Sport 4wd with the M5OD manual transmission. The sticker on my door jamb says axle code "D2" which from what I've read on the forums means that I have 4.10 axle gears with the LSD. I see a lot of people posting stuff about regearing to 4.10 axle gears when they put on bigger...

Does anyone know if the actuators for the front doors in my 2000 Sport are the same as the actuator in the rear hatch? I'm on ebay and I can't find anything that specifically mentions that it's for the rear hatch. The ones for the front door look similar in the picture, but I don't 100% trust...

So I spent the past two nights after work removing the interior panels in my 2000 Sport (no easy task) and installing a set of 6x9's that I had lying around. 6x9's don't really fit, but I convinced them to fit with a sawzall and a dremel. So basically the setup that I have is: The...

I've got a 2000 Explorer Sport with a manual transmission (M50D from what I've read on this forum). I've got the 160hp OHV engine as well. My issue is this: I bought the car Friday and three times in the 300 miles I've driven it, it wouldn't shift out of neutral. Once it happened when I...

Just bought a 2000 Explorer Sport with a 5 speed to be my daily driver to keep the miles off my 350Z which is starting to accumulate them entirely too fast. I've never owned a truck before so I'm looking forward to doing a bit of offroading, but I can't go too crazy because I need to keep it...
