Battery is recent (3 weeks old, 1000cca one for powerstroke engines) and before the problem, it used to be at 14.4-14.6 while engine was running(idle). Recently the battery gauge in the dash started to stay at about 25% of the gauge so I measured the voltage at the battery while the engine was...

I forgot to show you a picture of the remainings... Here it is...

Because of the rain yesterday, I postponed "operation spark plug" to today. After heating the remainings of the plug, I shoved the extractor in there and started turning...and I feel it moving and suddenly it gives away and removes the spark plug :D :D :D Operation spark plug is a success...

Good thing it's nice outside and I can commute with the bike these days...I'm going to get working on the Ex tonight, seems the heating is what's left to do. I hope it will budge out without having to remove the head out. My plug seems to be glued also by the collar to the block from what I can...

Greetings, Trying to change the original spark plugs off my truck (215 000kms), I started with the passenger side. After soaking the plugs with RELEASE-ALL (WD-40 equivalent), the first two plugs were pretty easy: Came the 3rd one, just by looking at it, I knew it...

Correct, mine works the same way also, just like the majority of factory alarms... However if I cancel the factory alarm, I guess I won't be able to use my touchpad on the driver's door... :banghead: Thanks for your input ! :chug:

Hi, browsing through my addict, I stumbled upon a box, opened it and found an AUTOSTART alarm module with shock sensor. Missing the shock sensor on the factory Ford alarm, and stupid toughguys wannabe's breaking my mirrors, I was wondering if it was possible to install the autostart alarm to...

The green one from any auto parts store ? or dealer ? Do you guys recommend anything ? PRESTONE ? Thanks ! :chug:

Well it's day 2 of ownership with my 96 5.0l and I think it's better that I flush the coolant... :) However, I know on 96+ cars, they require the pink coolant (dexcool ?) but in my truck, there's the GREEN one... :banghead: So which coolant type is supposed to go in there ? Pink or Green ...

I just acquired a 96 Explorer with the V8 with around 120 000miles on it. I was wondering with such mileage if an engine flush is recommended before putting in synthetic oil. On all my previous cars, I would run the car to optimum temperature and drop the oil and just put synthetic oil after...

I'd go for this one, It's about the same one I bought (mine has 197 000kms) and is in mint condition. I paid 4900$ :D Good Luck !

Just bought a new (well it's used) 1996 Ford Explorer XLT V8 and thought about joining this nice forum. I'm very mechanically inclined and will try to help out others in need. Thanks for reading ! :chug: :chug:
