I searched, read and searched some more, and finally I spent about 6 hours and fixed the three doors on the Ex that weren't working. Motor was turning, but no window movement. If anyone has had this problem, don't spend money on a salvage yard motor, a new motor, or even $20-$25 for the window...

A friend of mine has a problem with his power windows(Yes, an Explorer). The drivers windows started doing this erratic kind of pausing when rolling up and down. I thought it was the motor but then the passenger window started doing it, then one of the back windows. I then thought it to be the...

I finally got the go ahead from the Mrs. to go get me a new vehicle. I have been absolutely drolling over the new 2003 Cobra Mustang. I have read all the literature I could find, decorated my computer with pic,..etc. I go to the dealer today to check them out in person and.... I'm too frickin'...

I still remember those days of yesteryear, listening to the raw horsepower of my mom's 69 goat. The sound it made as the hurst 4-speed was engaging the tranny, the tires chirpping ever so slightly as she pulls away from the stop signs........... And now in late 2003... the return...

000,000 new , 100,000 and ...Ok, well... I finally passed the 200,000 mark. Same motor and transmission with no work done to either yet. The OD went a few thousand ago, but still doing fine in all other gears. I know there are those out there with more, but I just had to throw mine in...

I have battled this problem as long as I have owned this truck. I have replaced the battery and alt numerous times, changed both battery cables and cleaned the bejesus(actual word??) out of my electrical system. I cannot for the life of me figue out why my 'disco' lights won't go away. That...

After a few months of the front end shaking while I was braking, I finally decided to go ahead and buy and install new front rotors (they only had 195,000 miles...pieces of crap :) ) After removing the wheels, I checked the rotation/movement of the rotors. I was very suprised to find out that...

Well, it lasted 191,872 miles, then I lost the overdrive. Question is, are the lower gears next or can I still drive this thing for a while longer. I did a search, checked the connections, vacuum hose, replaced the vacuum modulator(diaphram), fluid level is ok, but still no OD. Anything else I...

New concept trucks From the USArmy comes: SMARTRUCK The SmarTruck includes the latest GPS system, night vision surveillance, fingerprint authentication, and voice-activation of defensive and offensive systems. Defense systems include tack dispensers behind the rear wheels to deflate the...

I wanted to start a list of the worst mods people have done to their trucks. Whether it be add-ons, elixer's, snake-oils, mileage gainers,...etc. I can't really say I have any bad things on my truck, but I did try some rear engine seal from Siloo(add to the oil) to stop the leak and it really...

Don't know when these are going to be released, if ever, but here are prototypes of a new seat belt. An airbag is being integrated into the 2 inch wide belt to distribute the impact load more evenly to lessen the severity of injuries.

OK, after buying the Warn manuals from Bill quite a while back, I finally got around to putting them on. Took it out for a test drive today and got squat! Jacked up the whole truck and locked the hubs. Pushed 4WD button and the front driveshafts are turning, but not the wheels. Shift to N and...

I just don't understand. What is it with Explorers and alternators? Do they not like each other or what? A mechanic friend of mine has put 5 on his during it's lifetime. This will be the third for mine. Bad alernator or are a lot of 'sploders like this? Just ranting because I had to drive...

I haven't read about this anywhere, but in hopes someone might have tried this.... Has anyone tried to switch the front seats (91-94 ) , from side to side? Pull them apart and put the drivers side seat on the passengers side and pass. on drivers side. Mine is starting to show some wear-after...

I have to say, I'm not happy about this at all! I got a coupon in the mail a while back from Goodyear Express and decided to use it, I mean $6.95 for an oil and filter change, top off other fluids and lube the chassis(promo coupon). Well, I changed my own oil this weekend(3450 miles on it) and...

After searching round and round, I'm unable to find a rack I really like. I have sold the 'old' rack I had mainly because it was a square tube one and I want one the has round tube(approx.1") to match the brushguard. It will also serve and a holder for 2 sets of PIAA 80's. I have found the shop...

Here's a safari type rack I just stumbled upon.( http://www.ruffracks.com/racks.html ) They have some neat things including custom colors and pre-ran PIAA light wires(inside the tubes) with a waterproof plug so you can just plug them in. Thought this might interest someone other than Professor...

The outside door handle on my 91 is loose and going down the road it flaps. It is really getting annoying and I'd like to fix it. Has anyone done this? I'd tend to believe it must have a return spring or something that pulls it tight against the door to keep it from flapping. The handle works...

One set of 40's(currently $85-new in box, ends today) and a set of Pro 90's(used-currently $225 all parts there, and ends Dec 31st).

In hope someone can help. I was looking into getting an overhead stereo. I had a friend of mine in high school that had a 81 Z28 and it had an AM/FM cassette w/ eq. thqat sat between the T-tops. I was just wondering if anyone even makes these anymore or not. I have looked through numerous search...

Can anyone tell me how much extended radius arm go for and who/where is the best place to get them? Also, extended brake lines, front and rear. Thanks.

I ordered it from JCWhitney and had it within 3 working days as promised. Total cost of $36. After getting home last night, I hooked it up and only had one problem. I guessed the wrong wire for the power in the tailight and got out my handy-dandy Haynes manual and looked it up(brown wire). The...

First of all I'd like to ask what both of these run? And where would the least expensive place be to order them. Second what all comes with the kits? Like does the radius arms come with new bushings and the bracket to attach farther back or what... I guess what I am trying to do is get it...

I was at Midas yesterday and saw a new power muffler called the Raven. It is supposed to be better than the flowmaster and has three chambers instead of two and outside is coated for longer rust-free life. For the throaty sounding muffler it is $118 and less sounding $138( price quoted here in...
