So, I think I've read just about every thread on here trying to find this dumb little $2 valve that I'm supposed to replace...but no luck. It sounds like I won't be able to see it, but have to feel for it between the firewall and the back of the engine, correct? And then just pull up on it once...

So I changed my brake pads on my '98 a week and a half ago, and after a couole days they started squealing pretty bad. I hoped it might work itself out, (like they just needed to be broken in), but no luck. They stop fine, and there's no noise when I hit the brakes going fast, it only...

So, I plasti-dipped my front grill a couple weeks ago and finally got around to posting about it. It looked absolutely terrible as the "chrome" was chipped all over the place and the center plastic piece was so faded and worn it was ridiculous. I debated just painting it, but I figured I'd try...

Okay, I want to clean my IAC Valve as I've got a little bit of a rough idle, and just because I'm sure it hasn't been done in a while. I've looked online and seen everything recommended from electrical parts cleaner, throttle body cleaner, carb cleaner, brake cleaner, mass air flow cleaner and...

Hey guys, so I did my first brake pad replacement this afternoon and for it being the most involved thing I've done so far on my truck (first time ever jacking a vehicle up and using jack stands even), it went really well.

Hey guys, so I changed the the fuel filter in my '98 Explorer (much needed) and then ran a fuel system cleaner (gumout high mileage). My thinking was I didn't want the cleaner to dislodge all the junk in the old filter and reintroduce it. However, now I'm wondering if the cleaner has done its...

Hey guys, just officially joined, but I guess I posted in the wrong sub forum first, so sorry about the repost. This site has been super helpful over the last few months...so, my situation.... I had a 95 Explorer and a few months back she finally gave up on me after just shy of 250,000 miles...

Hey guys, just officially joined, but I have used this site a bunch recently with some fixes that I've needed on my relatively new to me 1998 Explorer and it's been really helpful. Sorry for the slightly extended first post, but So, I had a 95 Explorer and a few months back she finally gave...
