    Time for Tranny Fluid change?

    I checked the fluid last week thinking it might be low (it wasn't) and it was still red.. I didn't smell it though :) I trust my dad when he says he's had regular maintenence done, I just don't know *What* specifically was done.. I might check with him and see if all of that was done at the...

    Time for Tranny Fluid change?

    I've searched the forum, and not really come up with much that matches my issue... this is intermittent, but bugging me, and I'm hoping it's not something serious... Basically sometimes when the (auto) tranny shifts from 3rd to 4th it has a brief vibration.. one of the few posts I've seen...

    Maybe I should not have purchased an Explorer ? (warning: long)

    My 96 EB has 130k miles on it, and aside from the transfer case, no major repairs other than stupid fiddly crap I've fixed (radio completely died, so it was completely replaced, cruise buttons literally fell apart [admittedly this isn't fixed.. yet, but the cruise works, I just have no button...

    Where exactly is the lowm module.

    Just for future reference, as I've been trying to figure this one out for a while and only tonight realized it was the LOWM, I found this on another forum: I just did this myself (very nervously!), and it works like a charm. I'm *quite* strapped for cash right now, so I figured hard wiring...

    Transfer case issues...

    Yeah, I realized just after I posted I should have incuded more info.. it's a '96 EB (didn't those just come in one model?), they said the transfer case was probably causing it after doing their own free diagnostics and asking me to pay them to take the t-case it apart.. which I realize now may...

    Transfer case issues...

    My X had been making a "popping" noise under acceleration and going up hills, etc, and I took it to a transmission shop.. and they've quoted me nearly $1200 to fix it and that sounds like an AWEFUL lot to repair that.... is that about right, or should I seriously question it? I don't know if...

    should my insurence be 1026 every 6 months?

    It sounds a little high.. if it's liability only, otherwise it's not that bad. You do have to remember that with liability only, your rate is pretty much determined by three things, your age, your driving record, and how much damage you can do with what you drive.. it doesn't have a whole...

    Replacing HU problems...

    The thunderform sounds great, I got the non-powered one about a month ago and I had it running from the stock amp until the whole system went out.. it was working "ok" before then, but with the other amp (Rockford Fosgate 100Z II, it's maybe 3 years old? But not used for the past two) in it's...

    Replacing HU problems...

    Yes, that would be fun, considering the box is GONE.. all the wires are relocated under the carpeting under the rear seats ;) For now I'm just not going to worry about it... I've had a heck of a day... * Replaced HU, antenna didn't work and RR speaker didn't get power. * Searched for...

    Replacing HU problems...

    Nope, fuses are all fine.. I'd checked and recheched that ;) What I finally did was strip the green/yellow and red(orange?) wires coming out of the hole where the antenna comes through the passenger side, and stuck a 9V battery to the wires.. got the stupid thing to go up, which is "good...

    Replacing HU problems...

    So my factory JBL system stopped working a few weeks back (just plain stopped, didn't do anything weird other than not turn on anymore, no clock, etc) and I've replaced the HU, bypassed the amps, etc, but now I have a problem... What the heck do I attach the remote lead from the aftermarket...

    Help w/ Thunderform and factory Amp

    Mine is a 4-door.. the problem with the amp and the other thing under the seats is not the fact that they are under there, it's just that I'll have to take the seat out to mount them so they won't be flopping around ;) It's hot in Texas.. and I spent way too much time outside this afternoon...

    Help w/ Thunderform and factory Amp

    That's a thought, but I already know there's not a ton of room around the fluid resevoir.. there may be enough if I fiddle with it and move some junk that I seem to have inherited with my X ;) I was thinking of mounting them on that flap that goes behind the seat, but there's a concern about...

    Help w/ Thunderform and factory Amp

    FYI, I am a she, not a he, but you had no way of knowing that.. anyways.. The old sub was completely trashed, it didn't make noise other than a very annoying rattle.. I tossed it last week. I still have the enclosure for it, if that's what you mean... it's out of a '96 4 door eddie bauer...

    Help w/ Thunderform and factory Amp

    Well I figured "something" up for now.. the radio and amp are jammed under the back seat.. I'd still like to hear a better solution, mine really sort of sucks :rolleyes:

    Help w/ Thunderform and factory Amp

    Since I'm strapped for cash at the moment I just got a thunderform w/o the amp to replace my blown factory sub.. I got the rear panel off, and the old sub enclosure and panel that holds the amp and the other thing (no idea what it is). Anyways, it looks like if I get the right torx bit and...

    Carpet is trashed... how hard is it to replace?

    Thanks, it will be a while before I have the cash to replace it (we're behind on bills at the moment), but now I think I definately will. I'm going to give the whole interior another good once over with the steam cleaner tomorrow and just live with it the way it is for a few months.. I just...

    Carpet is trashed... how hard is it to replace?

    I just got my dad's old ford explorer, and much to my dismay there's about 7 years worth of spilled soda on the carpet.. it's really, and I mean REALLY gross.. I've spent most of a day steam cleaning it myself, and get nothing but black water when I empty the tank... the carpet looks "better"...
