    Does this product exist?

    All, May take this thread to the broader community in the future. I'm big into preventative maintenance, almost to a neurotic degree. I've always had this idea of a product, and cannot find any breadcrumb trails on the internet to lead me onto whether it exists. Simply enough, is there...

    No Crank No Start - No time to diagnose

    Gents, Seldom do I post rash threads, but I'm on the first day of my hell-week finals-week for my school (going for B.Arch degree). I hardly have time to type this. My explorer for some reason won't start or crank. At first it looks like a dead battery - no power when I turn the key, no...

    Power Steering: Cutting in and out at specific angles

    Before I dedicate a whole day after work to researching and diagnosing anything, I wanted to see if the boys here could shed some light. FYI: My power steering fluid is at the proper level, and I don't ever turn it full lock for more than 2 seconds (if at all, and rarely). Problem: My...

    Diff Gears: Looking to Learn

    Hi Folks, Been absent for a bit since school and work started again. Hoping to get back to tinkering with the ride once the weather warms up and school ends. Looking to see if someone has the answer to a question I keep getting in conversations with people about. Trying to educate...

    Hood Struts: Not strong enough for steel

    I recently replaced my damaged aluminum hood with a steel one. It was $100 bucks cheaper and decided to go for it. Little did I know that my hood shocks would no longer be strong enough to keep the steel open (DUH) :banghead: I'm wondering if someone is familiar with much more powerful...

    Aligning a lifted Ex with BTF spacers: Sop Troubles

    Im about to have a final alignment done and a small frame pull to finish off the work I've been doing on the truck. I have BTF upper arms and 2.25 front spacers. I have a feeling this shop is going to tell me they can't align it when its up on the machine because the control arms kiss the coils...

    Inquiry: Cooling System Properly Flushed/Filled/Bled?

    All, Over the summer I emptied and cleaned my reservoir, drained the radiator via petcock valve and all lower hoses, flushed and back-flushed the system through all hoses (thermostat removed of course), and re-filled the entire system with softened-water. I left the thermostat out, and let...

    WeatherTech Second-Row Floorliners: Looking for pics

    Folks, Curious to know if any one has second row weathertech digitalfit floorliners, and if so could they snap a few nice pics so I can get an idea about the coverage they provide. I know they're great productsx but is like to make a comparison with my current 'extreme Floorliner' to see if...

    Inquiry: Mismatched rear tires within .25" tolerance?

    A good friend just replaced a flat tire on the highway today. Rear right. Soon after, he felt the drivetrain jolt proportionally faster as he gave it gas. He suspected either the tranny, t-case, or front diff were giving him trouble. Suggested that the 4WD was kicking in and out. Got a tow...

    Girlfriend took a Snooze

    Last May my girlfriend had an accident in her '96 Lumina. Driver pulled out left fast and swiped her front left. Damage wasn't too bad. Threw in a new tail light, hammered the steel bumper and hood back in to shape, and got a new plastic bumper and fender from the local junkyard. Best...

    Adjusting Camber: Washers vs Kit

    I'm just about to finish my body and spacer lifts, with BTF arms on the way. I want the alignment spot on when I bring it to the shop, and won't take the chance of them whining about not being able to do it completely with the current factory camber shim limiters in front. I'm wondering if...

    3rd Gen Explorer/Mountaineer/Aviator Tail Light Compatability

    Hi Folks, I'm doing some research on our third gen tail lights, and ultimately my goal is to swap my factory explorer lights with factory mountaineer lights. I'm not much of a fan of the aftermarket options (too distracting, and doesn't blend well enough). I understand as long as we...
