    05 explorer popping out of reverse

    No. Mine engages in reverse when I shift from park to reverse. But when I push the gas pedal to move in reverse, you can feel it almost like slip back to park. And the motor will rev up instead of moving in reverse. I'm hip full going to check/change tranny fluid this weekend.

    05 explorer popping out of reverse

    I have an 05 explorer. Transmission was rebuilt 2yrs ago. My explorer is popping out of reverse as soon as I push the gas pedal. Has this ever happened to anyone before? I'm hoping it as easy as being low on tranny fluid! I pray!! I'm willing to listen to ideas if anyone has any. Thanks so much

    Noise while accelerating help!!!

    I did change the idler pulley in the video you posted for me. However, I didn't change the pulley on the tensioner. I will change that as soon as I get off of work today. Hopefully this will do the trick. And that is the sound that I'm getting out of my motor. The cross your fingers for me...

    Hid conversion kits

    If you got the quote from the light guru on ebay like I did, that should be the price for both high and low. And if you are like me, I don't like paying full price. Lol. Email him back and tell him you have like $183. I'm sure he will do it. As for the foglights, you are going to want to get...

    Hid conversion kits

    Update on my hid's. ok so I went with the CanBus hid. I got both low and high beams for my 2005 explorer. I decided to go with the 8000 iceberg blue.

    Upper control arm and ball joints

    Upper control arm and ball joints

    Hi, I just changed my front upper control arms and ball joints. My stearing is very sensitive now. Is this a natural thing from putting new ones on? It was very easy. It was only 3 bolts. I bought the whole thing together so it was just as easy as unbolt, remove, put new on, and re tighten. If...

    Mach system

    Hi, I am going to convert my mach sub and amp to aftermarket. I haven't taken the old one out yet. I'm wondering, do you need a shallow mount sub or just an ordinary subwoofer? Also, is it very hard to convert to a 10" sub? Thanks for all the future input

    Hid conversion kits

    I'm sure one of you have already answered/said this before, but if I put hid's in my stock headlights won't that blind oncoming traffic? One place told me I should go with CanBus system. What are your thoughts about that? I know that businesses will tell you anything to sell stuff to you. Lol...

    Hid conversion kits

    I don't think I want to retrofit my headlights. I'm actually thinking of trying to like projector headlights that are factory. I've read some customer reviews that say the factory projectors are better made than the retrofit. No offense to you by any means. I respect what you have done and your...
