So I can't visually see it as the truck is in another city with my sister, however I want to see what this could be. Basically my sister said the truck has a constant leak on the passenger side and it's puddling behind the tire pretty good. It is definitely not just condensation from the air...

Hey guys, Just put some HID's in my fogs. They light up the road nice, but they glare bad. I am concerned because I don't want to blind others. They are h1 bulbs. I saw inside the stock housing there is a metal reflector housing. If I remove this, will it help reduce the glare some? What's...

Recently I just got an H1 kit for my fogs, and I was let down to say the least. I guess I am just spoiled from a retrofit in the mains, but I wanted HID in the fogs. I am thinking about doing Morimoto Mini's in the fogs as these gets fantastic reviews. Has anyone tried to retro a projector in...

Hey guys, I changed my injectors out this past weekend on the explorer with cleaned and reflowed ones. Today while I driving I noticed there was a faint fuel smell inside the cabin of the truck. When I popped the hood, I got hit with a big smell of it. I looked on the passenger side of the...

Hey all, Today I got an alignment because the outside edge of my front tires were starting to wear down a lot more than the rest of the tire. The guy said it took a while to align because there is a hex nut in there that wasn't allowing much play. Now the alignment is good, but there is now...

Hey guys, lately the truck has been taking a little bit longer to start than usual. I used to be able to turn the key and it'd instantly fire up...lately it takes a good 2-3 second of key turn to achieve this. Would clogged injectors cause this? Ive replaced the gas tank and fuel pump and was...

Hey guys, About 5 years ago I retrofitted a full BMW HID kit into my truck. Well today, one of the ballast died! I couldn't believe it. It's the stock BMW ballast I ripped out of a crashed bmw. My question is, where can I get a good ballast from? DDM Tuning doesn't sell spare ballasts. Any...
