Have you tried to see if an upholstery shop can build you a new cushion? That assumes the skin is still in good shape

I just replaced mine today, on an 08 V6...about 5 hours said and done after reservicing the coolant and transmission fluid. The special tool for the transmission line fittings worked on one fitting, but not the other. A youtube video showed where you can hacksaw off the flare of the fittings...

yes, the chip was in there, and believe me that i am kicking myself that i did not take it out. looking at the computer, however, there is no way they would not have seen the big blue chip stickin out on the back. A friend of mine is a shop foreman/diagnostics specialist, and i have been told...

OK, i too recieved the recall from ford about the onboard diagnostics. what my dealer told me was that the computer was found to randomly delete its contetns, thus rendering vehicle inoperative, while being driven. It was also told to me by the service manager that it only effedted the CA...

Yeah, it is going to depend on the cop more than anything else, but the vehicle codes specifically state that front turn indicators must be amber. Depending on where you live, you will either get a fix-it ticket or a fine. I have lived in Dallas, LA, and Lubbock, and in all three places i know...

I'd watch it, the police will jack you up for the clear turn signals. I have clear corners with amber bulbs, and they look almost identical to yours when off, but the signal color and intensity is unchanged from stock when blinkers are on. Sometimes the look ain't worth the trouble.....

I was just thinkin, unless this is a purely offroad vehicle, is there any possible way to make it emissions legal???

Remember also that the 2001 (?) Explorers will have the 4.6 optional, as opposed to the 302. Just reading all of the new car mags is really starting to piss me off. The new blazers are going to have a 4.2L inline 6 cylinder with 270hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. Chevy *******s, why won't...

Yes, I looked at the wires between the amp and the speakers, and could not find any problems with the sheathings, so I am pretty sure they are ok. Next I am going to check for bad connections behind the head unit. I have the output from the head unit going to an amp in the back, and have not...

I think if you looked around, mainly in europe, you could definitely find a diesel motor the right size and weight for the explorer. Remember, space is a bit more limited there, so even the big trucks aren't that big. I think Isuzu has a diesel out there in the 3.5-4.0 liter range that makes...

Thanks for all for all the help, now i'm gonna have to make time to tear into it. I know what you mean by the heat behind the radio; sometimes I take out CD's and they are extremely hot.

sorry, left out some critical words. I switched the speaker outputs, not the speakers themselves, and the cutting out definitely was not a speaker problem. All four speakers work fine. I edited original post, and perhaps it is a bit more accurate now I switched the driver front RCA input...

does anybody know if the white face sport track gauges are a direct fit into a 98? Also, how involved/difficult would the swap be?

well, i gotta a 98 sport w/ the SOHC in it, and i have a kkm intake and a granetelli MAF sensor (cant recall size, but it for some reason said it was meant for the 5.4 V8, but no funny lights comin on, so iam not complainin) and a superchip. I can beat my friends 99 mustang v6 every time for...

Alright, their maybe a simple answer to this question, so perhaps someone can help me out. I havea 4 channel pioneer amp going to cerwin vega stealth 6x8's in the stock locations in a 98 sport. The driverside front speaker started cutting in and out. I switched the driverside back output from...

has anyone heard of any make of catback systems for this particular model/engine? Im pretty sure borla does, but i would rather not pay the premium for having borla stamped on a muffler. Dynomax, flowmaster, any others?

all the superchips was designed to do is screw with the fuel and ignition curves, and change the shift point parameters. as far as the KKM causing summer problems, common sense as i see it would imply that it reduces problems. Given, it is sucking in underhood air, but the decreased parasitic...
