    How to: Replace Front Blend Door Actuator in 3rd Gen Ex.

    My actuator pooped out last week, started clicking and then no more heat. I was able to unplug the heat switch and through the glove box opening, I could flip the blend door lever for heat. It worked on and off for about a week but today I had a warm place to replace the actuator. The...

    Unusual circumstance newbie (sorta long)

    I used swish for the flash stuff, photoshop for graphics, and frontpage to lay it all out and upload it. I've used dreamweaver in the past but my server still accepts frontpage extensions so I use frontpage still for the ease. I think if someone wants to design websites for a living they need to...

    Thanks, I have to admit if it wasn't for my friend John's experience on the frame machine and my other friend Rick's crazy finishing and painting skills she'd still be all apart. Wally

    I agree, tough way to make real money. I designed my employers website and did work for a few friends, I keep my stuff online just for fun (it's nice to have some server space for files). wally

    if that... I was in between jobs about three years ago and I thought that might be funny to make that website, never thought anyone would actually contribute. I've never had any training in website design so the challenge was fun at the time. wally

    My Baby got Tagged!!!!

    As long as you're okay, that's what's really important. I just rebuilt a 2004 XLT that was smacked in the nose. Barring that the upper support rail or core support isn't damaged, you're looking at a new hood (they're aluminum but are available in steel for less money), fender, drivers side...

    Steering wheel play... found a surprise

    you would think, the ends are stamped not machined. I called a local dealership and they said one dealer in Oregon showed one in stock, and one dealer I think in Alabama showed one in stock. I called the Oregon dealer and he had one but it was on a car that wasn't invoiced and the other dealer...

    Steering wheel play... found a surprise

    I finally have my rebuilt Explorer on the road and running well. The steering wheel was off center so I had a local Firestone shop perform a wheel alignment. Steering wheel is now centered. The mechanic there mentioned the steering wheel play that I noticed since I started driving it, nothing...

    I'll probably leave her stock... except maybe a touchscreen audio unit. I have to take it the local NYS DMV inspection building on Thursday morning so I can get the rebuilt-salvage title, then I can register it in my name on Friday. I'll just be happy to drive it! wally

    Unusual circumstance newbie (sorta long)

    You may... purchase price at the auction was $2400. (with fees $2700.) add fenders, hood, lights, paint, taxes, etc. and a few bucks for the new tires and my friends time for shop use and painting, I have a total of a little over $6K into it. I also spent about 70 hours myself doing a bunch of...

    Unusual circumstance newbie (sorta long)

    Hey to everybody! I've owned several F150's over the years but decided to get a little more interior room this time (plus the convenience of owning a p/u was getting a little crazy from friends and neighbors!) so I set my sites on an Explorer. I've always been a Ford and Jeep customer and since...
