    Secondary Transmission Filter Installed (Feedback)

    Install Pic The pic may be fuzzy but it came from one of those cheap digital cameras. I could not see the filter looking straight on so I had to lay on my back and look up. It is really easy to change and no one can see it unless they get on the ground.

    Daytime running lights

    Explorers for the United States did have DRL but the lights were too bright for american standards so they quit putting the modules in, in fact mine had a recall to remove the module. Not sure of the years involved though.

    Rancho 9000x

    I really like mine. I have adjusted mine for different situations and it wasn't hard at all to adjust. I think the advantage of having them adjustable far outweighs the minor trouble it takes to adjust them.

    Mr. Clean no-spot cleaner thing

    I have never had any spots and it always dries almost instantly. I make sure I only do a small section at a time, wet down, soap and wash, rinse then spot free rinse.

    Just installed 9007 harness from SUVlights.com

    I think that a heavier headlight harness is worth however much you spend on it because they do make a huge difference. I got mine a little cheaper through Summit Racing. It was $48.90 shipped to my door compared to $63.00 from Suvlights.com.

    Me 1, Clunks 0

    I ordered energy suspension swaybar bushing kits for front and rear from Explorer Express. The part numbers off the invoice are ES45153G - rear and ES45155G Front. Those are Explorer Express part numbers, I believe that you drop the ES and you will have the energy suspension kit numbers. The...

    Secondary Transmission Filter Installed (Feedback)

    I pulled the filter yesterday and had my wife start the engine briefly. Fluid flows out the port that is towards the edge of the filter mount, not the center port. That should be the correct flow. I haven't had any problems with any filters except the Mobil1 filter.

    Secondary Transmission Filter Installed (Feedback)

    I just got through putting on my 4th filter on my secondary filter kit. Changed original one(FL1A) at 150 miles to the perma-cool one(81043). Last week changed my engine oil to synthetic from blend and decided to change the secondary remote filter so it is easier to keep track of. I bought a...

    new shocks

    Yes, you can easily change the settings without having to remove them, they have a little knob towards the bottom of each one. Also I think they have a kit available that you can install so you can adjust them from the inside of your vehicle.

    new shocks

    I have the Rancho 9000series and I am well pleased with them. They are not like other shocks, there is no charge to them. In other words, they do not expand like the rest of them and they are a heck of a lot easier to install. They have 9 settings and the most common setting is to run the...

    I don't wanna hear it...

    Have you done any suspension modifications like a TT or is your suspension completely stock? Is there any unexpected road noise from the bigger tires or are they fairly quite?
