I have an '02 Explorer 4WD, and noticed some fluid leaking from the rear differential. It appeared to be coming from the vicinity of the inspection plate, so I bought a new gasket and syn gear oil. However, upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem that I can reach the top half of the bolts. Has...

Well, perhaps I'm a little dumb on this one, but I was helping a friend change the rear disc brakes on his 2005 Chevy Malibu and I couldn't get the caliper to depress so it would fit over the new brakes. I was using a C clamp to perform said operation but the caliper was having nothing to do...

Im wondering what might be happening here. I have an Alpine V12 I hooked back up again, it has a display that lets you monitor current draw. Increasing volume doesnt increase current draw. The subs are receiving audio, as I can see them flexing to the song, but it appears they are unaffected by...

I was hoping to get opinions on MTs versus ATs. I have a 3rd gen, wanted to get some 31's for my stock rims in hope of a little clearance. I do enjoy off roading, although I don't get to do it as often as I used to. So I was unsure of whether to go for the mts and have nothing to blame it on but...

Anyone here mounted tweeters in their 3rd gen? I have a component set to install and I was looking for good ideas for a mounting location. I was hoping to make them look as unnoticeable as possible. Even thinking of maybe using some sort of dye to use on the tweeters so the color matches the...

Anyone mouted tweeters in their x? I have a component set to install, just curious on where to put them.

So I'm having trouble with idle speed on my x. It's ok at initial startup, but once the engine starts to dip from the higher rpms at idle, a few minutes after start, the rpms decrease to almost stall, then shoot back up, until after a few cycles of this and it dips low enough that it stalls. I...

Wasn't there a thread on here about custom smoking your tail lights? I can't seem to find it. Anyone?

Anyone happen to know where I can get wiring diagrams for an '02 X? I have a bit of a nightmare to clean up. I mistakenly let my brother borrow my X to take out his boat. Apparently he had the boat and trailer on a decline, just above my truck, it started to roll and smashed out the back...

Has anyone taken the airbox off an '02? It's got these darn rubber boot lookin things, looks like 2 on the left side, and 2 on the bottom. I wasn't sure about how to get the airbox out and not a big believer in yanking until I did. Thanks

I have an '02 Ex, was wondering if anyone knows the location of the door switch. Im not positive, but think its the passenger side door that the door switch is not working. It's really annoying at night when I have to wait till I start driving a little before the damn dome light turns off, not...

I already looked at the posts about block heaters, but had a question. I'm kind of ignorant about the options on my Explorer, I bought a used '02, and it didn't have a block heater listed as an option. (the dealership was pretty dumb too) I of course, never thought about it, until recently, when...

I'm not really sure if this meets criteria for this forum or not, but looking at some of the other posts, I feel better about it. No, I'm not in dire need to go to my girlfriend's, but until I get my X back, I can't work, I do work with my X. My X is OOC, although being worked on, but the issue...

Thought I would throw a thread in here, because I had an oops that gave me a deep respect for the chassis on my X. I was driving down some easf BF road in Ohio, doing 50 since the limit wasn't posted. I was coming up to the crest of a hill, started getting that uneasy feeling, more than usual...

Any opinions on a good cleaner for chrome rims? I know the standard answer, mild detergent, apply elbow grease, but I was hoping for something a little easier. Ideas? Opinions? Thanks.

I had a quick question, rather, asking for anyone's opinion. I recently had some work done on my '02 X(new rack and pinion) , and while it was in there I asked them to fix the sqeaky belt that was driving me crazy. I got the bill, and they charged me 90 for a new serpentine belt. Which I could...

This sounds more like a question for black magic, I remember reading something about it from him before, but I'll fire away. I have clear corners on my '02 x, and was wondering, if I use a high temp paint on the bulb, to get rid of the yellow color during the day, does it still appear somewhat...

Any opinions out there for billet grilles on an '02 Explorer? I'm shopping for one, but I got lost in the sea of them. Thought I might turn to the reliability of the Explorer forum.

I was wondering if anyone out there has an Explorer with the third seat option, that made a custom box to allow the use of the third seat. It's my new plan, but was wondering how difficult it might be. Any thoughts? Ideas? Pictures even? Thanks guys.

For those with '02's and up, Altezzas are available, mine are shipping now. Here's the link.Dead Link Removed

Anyone know if adding subs can void factory warranty for factory speakers? I still have factory head unit, so had to splice from rear speakers vice RCA's.

Is it me? Why have I surfed so many websites, they have 20 inch rims falling out their @#%hole, but as soon as you select 02 explorer, you MIGHT be looking at 2 or 3, or maybe nothing at all. I'm trying to avoid spacers, can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a mystery sight out...

I'm sure this might have been asked before, but bear with me..... Has anyone gotten an update on altezzas for the '02? I went to a website that had them, allowed me to go throught the whole ordering process, only to tell me after everything was done that they weren't released yet. :mad:

Hello. I'm new to the site, but had a question regarding rims. I have an '02 XLT 4x and was wondering if you can make the Harley Davidson rims fit on those. I know they only list them for f-150 and Expedition. Thanks.
