Not sure where I can post this (Moderators please move this if needed) but it seems pretty important since I know theres alot of DIY guys here so im sure there are others who may find this useful. A pair of my own jackstands are part of this recall :/
Ive noticed that my ex will stutter or even stall (happened twice) when im at a stoplight for a long time and happen to have the AC on. Its not a guarantee to happen each time as I need to be at a stop for a while, but I have noticed that it occurs when the AC is running. I am wondering if there...
So my trans gave out on me last night. At least the higher gears. I believe I have the 5r55e. When I put it in Drive, it won't move. And reverse needs half throttle to budge just a little bit. I limped it home by putting it into second gear. So what Im wondering is, replace or get a new vehicle...
well, it finally happened. My tranny slipped earlier today while I was getting onto the freeway. I assume it was between 2nd & 3rd gear because I was probably around 40mph. I felt that I wasnt accelrating as usual and heard my engine revving higher than normal. I looked down and it revved up...
I really like the style of the wing saleen used for their explorer. Like many others I'm sure. They are hard to find and expensive if you do happen to come across one. So, I think it would be cool to make my own. I was wondering, if anyone has it on their ex, if someone can post a few pictures...
Since i plan on running a supercharger and about 5 psi, I will most likely need a tune. I plan on using the moddbox kit and they also offer an online tuning service but I wanted to see about maybe getting a dyno tune to dial in the fine details. Does anyone know of a good tuner in Southern...
Finished up my m90 and just ordered some new oil for it. Should be good to go. In preparation for actually installing a supercharger, or a turbo, I'm sure everyone wants to add some gauges. I think boost/vacuum and AFR are pretty important.
I would like to have some input from others on which...
I was lowering my explorer this morning when I ran into a couple of issues. First off, I think I ordered the wrong front shocks (Belltech 8000). Threy ANy advice for that would be great. SUmmit Racing is taking a while to answer the phone. Second I'm pretty sure I MAXED the torsion bars(They...
I ordered a set of blocks from summit, Belltech 6102, and noticed that the blocks have a slight angle to them. One side is taller than the other. Is this normal? And how would I install them?
I am planning on lowering my 01 sport 2 inches all around. TT in the front and blocks in the rear. I have read about using the F-250/Excursion end links for the rear to keep the sway bar at it's original angle. My question is, does anyone have shorter end links in the front or know which ones to...
I got an m90 about a month ago but the rotor case was damaged in shipping. NBD, I got a refund. So I got a different rotor case to swap. Swapped them today. Undid the bolts and hammered on the case to get it loose. Then used a crow bar to start lifting th snout and rotors out. I placed the...
Not sure if anyone has posted that EE carries the MAC intakes again. They have two different models for sale. Also, rear bump stops for lowered EX's are now being sold

I just finished my custom intake last night. I will post pics soon. It is basically the same at the Sticky on this part of the site. Only difference is the MAF is basically right on my new pipe (created a mount for it and placed it on the pipe). I did everything as proper as I could...
I've been meaning to replace my plugs for the last couple of months but kept putting it off. Not that the engine has been misbehaving. Just because I have had my vehicle for 35k miles and have never replaced them. The other day, I noticed my RPMs drop drastically (less than 500) once I put it...
I had been curious in installing an exhaust on my 01 sport with the 4.0 SOHC. But I am also planning a long travel suspension. I called gibson asking if removing the tail pipe, since it goes over the rear axle, would effect performance. According to the man I spoke to, it will not effect the...
I have been wanting to put bed liner on my roof of my 01 sport for quite some time now and thought that I might as well go ahead and do the bumpers and trim to match. I will probably do this project within the next couple of weeks. I'll just buy some Herculiner since they're about $75 a gallon...
I recently found a thread on here that seems to have not been viewed many times.
http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=401191
it is a complete "how to" of a supercharger kit from modd.me (done on a ranger but shouldn't be too different)...
I am planning to do a spindle lift on my '01 sport. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I will need longer shocks than the stock ones. I wanted to go ahead and replace the shocks first so I can have a smoother ride before I even lift it. I will be putting my lift together piece by piece...
I just had a random thought. Is it possible to take the front suspension from a ranger with coilovers and place it on an Explorer? Like take the control arms and all. Has anyone tried this? It seems possible since the explorer is based on the ranger. I would rather save money than time since I...
I found a few trailer hitches on AutoAnything but, I want to know which manufacturer produces the best quality products. If anyone has any experience with Reese, Curt, or Hidden Hitch I would like to hear how they have been to you. All the hitches I found were under 200 and class 3. I would be...
I'd hate to be the guy asking a question that is already answered, so if anyone could post a link to the forum that answers my question it would be much appreciated.
I have a 2001 sport 2WD and I am looking for about a 3'' lift, 4" max. I DO want a suspension lift, not a BL or TT, because I...
