    It's going to rain all weekend, so it will be sometime next week but I'll take a look at the crank position sensor. Thanks

    99 V8 turns over but won't start after sitting 9 months

    I pulled one spark plug this morning, grounded it to a couple of different places, no spark. That's kind of what I was expecting. I pulled both ignition coils and these test ok. I tried to pull codes but no current or pending code....but I did notice the check engine light is on when...

    99 V8 turns over but won't start after sitting 9 months

    I also wanted to mention that the Theft light goes out after a couple of seconds like normal so I don't think it's a PATS issue. Thanks shucker1 I hadn't considered that. I guess in the morning I'll pull the plugs...and try that...do they require anti-sieze when re-installing them? I called...

    99 V8 turns over but won't start after sitting 9 months

    I left my 99 EB V8 AWD on my friends ranch when I left the state with my job. I thought they would use the truck around the ranch...Win Win. No one even start the truck in the 9 months. I put in a new battery, it turns over. I sprayed starting fluid into the throttle body while trying...

    2007 Eddie Bauer Luxury Package

    I have a question about the Eddie Bauer Luxury Package on a 2007 EB V8 4x4 I'm going to look at tomorrow. I pulled the window sticker and it lists: EDDIE BAUER LUXURY PKG -LH/RH MIRRORS W/APP, HTD, C-K What is the W/APP? I'm guessing HTD is Heated? What about C-K? Thanks!

    How-to: Auto-reset door chime disabler project

    Anyone know if there is a way to wire this so that it works as described above, except, closing the drivers door does not re-enable the chime? Basically so that it is only reset if the key is moved from ACC to another position. I don't worry about locking my keys in the car since I have...

    How do you get the C-Clips out?

    I think a magnet will probably work but the problem seems to be this big roughly "S" shaped clip which is in the way of pulling the C-Clips I guess I'm suposed to pull that out first?

    How do you get the C-Clips out?

    I'm trying to pull the axles out of my 99 EB 5.0 AWD LSD. I pulled the pinion bolt and the pin, pushed the axle in as far as it will go. I can rotate the c-clip but I can't get it to slide out. What's the trick? Do I have to get it to "open" like a retaining clip? What tool(s) should I be...

    Rear Rotors Stuck 99 EB AWD

    I have tentative plans to pull the axle shafts (with rotors still attached) tomorrow. While this might not be the best route my rear diff is leaking and I'm pretty sure it's the original fluid so I can kill 3 birds with one stone, hopefully. Since a lot of people recommend pulling the axles...

    Rear Rotors Stuck 99 EB AWD

    I may be in touch about the rotors. I'm going to hijack my own thread... If I didn't have soooo much pad left I would be really tempted to put ceramic pads on. Did you not feel like ceramic pads with the stock rotors would improve the brakes enough? How are the ceramic pad? Big...

    Rear Rotors Stuck 99 EB AWD

    Now that you mention that I have used that trick before I think I will give it a try. If it works great, if not I'm no worse off. I'm concerned about using a really hot torch for 2 reasons. What if I screw up the rotors (warp them) and still can't get them off. Secondly isn't their a...

    Rear Rotors Stuck 99 EB AWD

    Thanks for the info. Is it better to just beat on the rotors or on the hub? Or both? Any chance I'm going to damage the diff with all this beating? (I'm only using a 3 pound hammer)

    Rear Rotors Stuck 99 EB AWD

    Hi all, I'm trying to fix the e-brakes on my 99 Eddie Bauer V8 All Wheel Drive. I've read dozens of threads here, and it seems like stuck rotors are fairly common. So far I've sprayed about a half can of PB Baster, hit the rotors with a rubber mallot, a piece of 2x4 and a 3 pound hammer...

    Buying 2000 Limited with no front bumper

    I’m considering buying a 2000 Explorer Limited (V-8), which is missing the entire front bumper. However everywhere I call, I seem to be getting different info on what parts I need to replace the bumper. I think I need and price range I’ve been quoted: 2 Bumper brackets – $60each for...
