    Anti theft

    I'm not sure about the wire but I know on my 98, anytime I unhook the battery, when I hook it back up the alarm sounds. I just press unlock to turn it off. Then I wait about 5 seconds and unlock again then I start it.

    Oil Leak that i really need help with...Pics included

    You were right man. I pulled that wheel off and pulled the plastic wheel well back a little, disconnected that nut that hols that line on, because theres no other way to do it, sprayed some brake cleaner in there to clean it up a little and then it was done. It's a bare to get in there, but once...

    Alright, I got it fixed. It was the Oil Pressure Switch like you guys told me. I went to Oreilly's and picked one up for $6. Here's pics: The old one I used two extensions to reach it, and used a deep well socket 1-1/16" Old and new side by side Thank you to everyone who helped...

    And by the way, it could be the timing chain gasket couldn't it?

    Thank you so much man. That really clears things up. You did this on an explorer, right? It seems like there is absolutely no room. I can't get to it from the top because the Power Steering pump, AC Comp, and Idler Pulley are in the way. So if I remove the wheel and go through the wheel well it...

    I've cleaned and cleaned, it's a really tough area to see in even with a flashlight. Everything is in the way. I know for a fact it's not coming from the oil pan.

    Oil Leak that i really need help with...Pics included

    So I have a different idea of that it's the oil pressure sendin unit. There is what looks like a sensor up above the oil filter that is leaking. I would assume that is the oil pressure sending unit. Looks like it's easiest to get to by removing the power steering pump and idler pulley. Any tips?

    Oil Leak that i really need help with...Pics included

    Well it's not the oil filter. It's the oil pan gasket. I can get to it by removing the oil filter adapter and try to seal it best I can. I don't have the time to lift the engine to repair a oil pan gasket. The gasket has pushed itself out of the front corner of the oil pan(not all the way) any...

    Oil Leak that i really need help with...Pics included

    I'm headed to oreillyauto to pick up a filter now, so I'll know in a little bit if that's the problem. I still believe it is the filter adapter but I'm hoping not. I was thinking the same thing about trying the oil filter gasket but the oil filter adapter picture I found last night online showed...

    Oil Leak that i really need help with...Pics included

    The plan is to put a new oil filter on as soon as I get done at work. I've cleaned it up enough under there that I'll be able to see immediately if that fixes it, if not I'll pull the elbow off and pray that a parts store here as an O-Ring to match it. And I can try tightening the bolt but it...

    Well that's the problem dewey, When I look at the oil filter which you can see clearly in the first picture it screws into an aluminum "arm" which in turn bolts into the block.(I posted a pic of one, not sure if its the same as mine). And today I degreased the hell out of it and wire brushed it...

    Oil Leak that i really need help with...Pics included

    I have an oil leak and can't tell if it's the oil pan or the Oil Filter housing. I have read and read and read and can't find a lot of info or parts. I've called local auto stores looking for parts and no one can help me. I have a feeling It is leaking from around where the "Oil Filter Housing"...

    Door Switch LED Conversions

    I thought I'd share my main switch pictures for anyone who wants them. When I did my first switches(the other doors) I used new resistors. But when I did this main switch I left the factory ones in and just installed my LEDs. I don't know if the factory ones will last but I guess we'll see...
