Sorry it's been yrs since I've been here but I was trying to login to ebsco with the login /password that I used yrs ago (that's floating around here) and I couldn't get in. Any updates on that or another way I can access that site? Thanks for any help

I decided to change the end links since I lost a bushing on the 1 stock link and it was clunking around. This sure hasn't been my weekend, I was wrestling both when it shouldn't of been this difficult. I sheared the nut off and had to cut the rest out on the drivers side. I 1st installed...

So after more reading after I changed the transfer case fluid has me concerned with how the old fluid looked. From what I'm reading it will be red if new or like "tar" - which to me, tar is black I guess kind of like oil turns after x amount of miles. Well my old fluid was more of a lite...

Most threads are created to solve the current issue one may have and the others are show off my st or lift thread. What about for everything in between- maintenance, upgrades or mods? The stuff you did over the weekend (or week), the stuff you may do all the time but doesn't warrant starting a...

I posted about a burning smell sometimes when I walked by the front left wheel well after turning it off- I didn't notice a leak then but I was recently spraying my shock boots (getting it ready ahead of time) and I noticed a green/yellow fluid wettness from bottom of the sway bar. I did just do...

Just looking for ideas or what would you do to fix that plastic skid plate or lower radiator shield. It's the 3 center mounting locations- those metal tabs/nuts that slide on the shield tore that lip up. I thought of cutting it clean then jb weld something over it but I'm not really sure. I...

Only a few things before I start. I'm trying to find replacement lower rear shock bolts and nuts. I have found this link http://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts-list/2002-ford-explorer-sport-trac/rear-springs-and-shock-absorbers.html and I'm sure the pn's I need are there but no picture/description...

Not sure how long I have noticed this- been awhile and it's been bothering me so I finally figured out how to upload a YouTube video for help. http://youtu.be/Ci4aMmYgX1U What does this possibly sound like? What should I do next to identify/diagnosis? Thanks in advanced for...

I'm going to link my previous thread on tires and tt http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426242 that will give background on what I did. Went for the alignment today at Firestone and lifetime. I still have factory style (maybe even original but not aftermarket) uca's and stock...

Alright maybe about a couple weeks back I noticed a slight squeal coming from the pulley/belt area but was very low and intermittent. I bought a stethoscope to try and pinpoint location but that's when my truck started idle rough and if given gas would cut out (I posted a thread about this not...

Seeing as the forum has been slow in this area as of late and while its fresh in my head, I have something. I do realize this is a bit premature-on simple checks and research (at least to a more extreme level) but this has happened 2 other times out of the blue and I had forgotten/slipped my...

Ok, I'm not going to ask - what size tire can I get to fit :fire: I know, I seen them all. And last night I finished reading/scrolling the lifted trac pics (all 100+ page). On a side note, it's pretty cool seeing how the regulars started out on their journey from the beginning. I'm also going to...

It was raining, I was bored and the girls were down for a nap. I was scrolling through some taco forum and now I want to do something to my console. It's a decent size for storage but damn if you start actually using its space you will likely have to pull things out to get to this or that...

While having my face in the engine bay changing my pcv hose & valve, I noticed a connector that had the wires exposed-like chaffed on something. Curious to what it is. It doesn't look like any strands broke and the wire is only lite-ly corroded. I was thinking of just cleaning the exposed...

I'm getting ready to flush the power steering fluid and curious what everyone thinks about the inline filters? I'm going to be using mobil 1 full synthetic atf, multi vehicle (mercon v). The filter I saw was on rockauto by I think cardone which would attach to the return line hose. I would...

I was doing my front brakes and was looking around in the wheel well and took some photos, this is what I noticed. Anything else I should look at and how bad it looks in the photos? The upper ball joint is torn, not sure if it's completely bad yet or on its way. To the right of the ...

So I was doing more expecting on my body mounts when I decided to give the ground strap (corroded green) a slight tug, then it crumbled. You can see the 1 end slightly in the photo above that plastic cover. Which brings my question, what is that plastic cover protecting (this is on the drivers...

Every time I drive the truck then stop and walk past the drivers wheel I smell a burning smell. I freaked out today cause it seemed pretty stank, looked under and it was soaked (it was a long aggrevating day and forgot I drove through a deep puddle on the way home). But the smell is there and...

I normally have auto lamp on and moved directly under the d in delay. I was thinking of not using this feature or wondering what it would be like to not use it and have to manually switch. On occasion I have noticed the lights stay on extremely longer than normal after turning engine off. At...

I posted about this before, when changing the oil, the pan looked wet and gummy. So I cleaned it up kind of and now this time when changing the oil this is what I see, wet but not gummy like that time (yrs and yrs of build up I assume)I wish I had a photo before when I cleaned it Where...

I have assumed I needed front brakes replaced for some time. It started with a squeak/metal grinding (assumed this was the wear indicator) and after some time would not make noise and again come back after some time. Then the pulsing/surge when braking started (I assume this is the rotors warped...

Alright, to summarize…I put a strip of led lights under my hood and put a toggle switch as a temp thing. Looked into local options for a push type switch with not much luck so I put it off. My boss finds a switch at lowes, basically hood is closed led off and vise versus. But the switch says 3/4...

This thread is more of a customer review of a company I had dealings with recently. The company… whitegauges.net The stock hvac control panel I wanted it to match the instrument panel. I got the idea from a fellow member here and was given a link to eBay to purchase one, although it...

Like many, that needs to do any work under the hood in the dark, wonder why it wasn't included. I'm tired of the poor lighting, the flash lights and maybe on occasions a lighter. I have seen the 3 projects listed on mysporttrac but have a few questions for understanding. I have purchased...

Cap and hardware (photos) ADDED wiring Ok, maybe I'll get more help out here in the open. I want to see how you hooked up your cap/topper/camper shell (whatever you call it). What clamp you used and size/type of bolts that go into the bed. I sold my factory cover and along with the striker...
