    MAC Cold Air INSTALLED

    I received my MAC kit today in the mail and installed it. Installation was easy the only problem i had was that one of the clamps didn't fit over the blue rubber thing that went from the MAS to the tube but I bought a bigger one from the auto parts store so it wasnt a big deal. Anyway it sounds...

Anyway I am excited to get the MAC one I hope it will help with gas milage...

    Euro style tail lights

    Eventually, mine started leaking after the first time I washed my truck. After a week of hard rain here I had to take them off because water had collected where the reverse light goes. I tried to seal them by spraying clearcoat around the cracks and it worked a little bit. Water no longer...

    2000 Exp XLT Questions

    You are right about the diablo chip being made by the same engineers of the superchip. I heard the makers of diablo chip split from superchip to make a more affordable chip. The installation was extremely easy it fit like a glove. The chip is really cool too it is in the shape of a devil head...

    2000 Exp XLT Questions

    I have heard that you should use premium gas with superchips but I didn't think you did with the diablo chip. In the material that came with the chip it did not say anywhere that it requires premium gas. I run 89 grade in my truck all the time and that is what is in their with the chip.

    2000 Exp XLT Questions

    I forgot... Also about the K&N filtercharger kit. I had one on my old explorer which was a 97 with a 4.0L in it. I think the engine in the 2000 is set up the same so you should be able to use the k&n kit from an older model. I am planning on using my old kit for my 2001 I just have to customize...

    2000 Exp XLT Questions

    voiding warrenty

    Does anyone know what technically voids an extended warrenty? I just bought my truck about 2 mouths ago and it has 5 year/75k warrenty. I wanted to add aftermarket exhaust and an aftermarket airfilter system... Do you guys think that this would void my warrenty? Thanks :) Kristen

    air intake system....

    does anyone know who would make an air intake system for a 2001 v8? I have a k&n filtercharger kit that I used for my 97 SOHC v6 and I tried to put it on my new truck but it doesn't fit right it bangs around too much. I had heard that someoen might be coming out with a type of metal pipe going...

    I recently bought a 2001 v8 and was wondering if you guys could give me some advice. I was wondering if there are any mods that I can make to the car to improve horsepower that would not void the factory warrenty. I do have a K&N filtercharger kit from my 97 v6 SOHC which I was planning on...

    I don't know what my 0-60 time is or what my 1/4 mi time is either. I was supposed to take my truck to a local track but it rained and I haven't had a chance to take it back up there yet. I am talking about stoplight racing and highway racing. And for those who doubt you can ask my boyfriend...
