    Cant decide what to do with my broken Explorer

    I put this in the modification section because if I keep my EX is will be modified. My 2000 Limited needs a new drivetrain basically. Most importantly, I need to reach 25mpg highway in a 4 door Explorer. I no it will not be easy but its required to keep the truck I love. The motor...

    Transmission replacement/upgrade

    Im quite certain a transmission replacement is in my future. I will most likely install a used trans myself to save money but Im wondering if there might be a better option from a different application. I drive alot on the highway and was thinking maybe a trans from a F150 or even a van could...

    Box and subs under rear seat??

    I have a 2000 limited 4dr. I noticed there is a decent amount of space inder the rear seat. Im not looking for anything crazy but 2 10s or even 8s mounted cleanly and out of sight sounds pretty tempting. I intended on replacing the stock sub with a JL and adding a better amp.at the same...

    Targeting SRT8 Cherokee...

    I got a 2000 limited AWD 5.0, it moves ok for its size but ive drove a few SRT's (420hp) and thats about the performance id like to have. For cost reasons ive decide to stay with a 306/308 no matter what I do, so a power adder will be required. Im lucky to have friends in the fab/machine...

    Ranger V8 swap headers work for explorer ??

    I have been commin across great deals on heads recently but exhaust options have held me back . I can't afford the tourqe monsters as much as I'd like to have them. However there seem to be a wide range of ranger v8 swap headers out there at a reasonable price. These would fit the...

    2000 AWD 5.0 shutters going into OD...

    Well noticed it when I bought the truck but seems to be a bit worse now. If Im accelerating at all it shutters going into OD. I try to anticipate the shift and let off which seems to help. Now when I'm driving in town I keep OD turned off until I need it. When I push the button it engages...

    Truck has a strange rattle sometimes when its idling. I have a loose heat shield but its not that. This is cooming from the front of the motor and its causes a slight fluctuation of the idle speed. I have not looked into it too much but I remember Ford having belt tensioner problems in...

    suprised at mpg in high mile 5.0 ....

    I have had quite a few 5.0 mustangs and have a 4.6 GT now. I don't think any of them can match what my new truck has been doing. It's a 2000 explorer limited, I drive the same 175 mile drive once a week. My first trip got me 19.7 mpg with 89 octane Mobil fuel. I was pretty happy with that...
