Well Gentlemen, it's official. Money has exchanged hands, and trucks are loaded up. I bought an '05 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with the HEMI this week. Doubt I'll be on the forum anymore, unless I'm helping out someone, or just coming back on to send a email to Rick to find out how the weather is in...

Well, here is a pic of my new Explorer. It is a '93 XLT 4x4 with 106,000 miles on it. This truck must have been sitting in some old folks' garage, because it is excellent condition. Purchase date: March 12, 2004 Here is the second picture of the new Explorer. I spent the day putting...

Hello all. I'm having a problem with my Expeditions check engine light coming on. The truck seems to be running fine, and there is no noticible drop in MPG. I cleaned the MAS, and swapped out the gas cap. (ideas that I've been directed to check from reading other forums). While checking...

Does anyone know if you can hook up an external video source to one of those 5" LCD screens for the Playstation 1? I'm looking at getting one of those systems for my boys. We are going up to Montana for Christmas, and I want to keep them busy. I want to know if I could throw my power...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a radio for my EXPEDITION. The one that is in their mysteriously fried this week. I checked all the fuses, then pulled the head unit out--- and verified power going in. It was there. Only thing I could find was some heavy corrosion coming out of the rear corner...

OK, I replaced the power steering pump, and put a new pulley on....but I can't get it to go on any further. The pump came with a bolt and a nut to use to pull the pulley onto the shaft. It ate up one belt, so I used the bolt again, thought I had it, but I noticed again today that the belt is...

Thought that this would be a good way to figure out exactly what lift kits we are running....this poll feature is cool!

I was thinking about taking a quick trip out to T-haven tomorrow, sunday the 18th of February, just wondering if anybody else might be in the area.

Help? I replaced my positive battery cable the other day and had to remove the ground from the block to get moving room to get the old cable out. I tried and tried to get it back in, but just ended up messing up the threads on the bolt. The negative cable was pretty bad also, so I went and...

I'm going to tear the truck apart while the axles are being done and clean everything up? I was going to glass bead the suspension and either paint or powder coat it. Obviously the powder coating will be much more expenisve. Will paint be fine, or should I spend the extra cash?

shorter belt, HELP? ok, i did a search for this, and only saw it discussed once with no real out come. my ac hasn't been used for two years and is electrically disconnected. after this weekends dirt and sand from the pre-t-haven run, the motor is making terrible noise like it's bearings are...

OK, I have problems. First of all, I've had that terrible squeaking noise that I couldn't locate. Sounded like front diff. Sounded like a unoiled wheel on a rusty bike. Only did it on acceleration at low speeds. Well, I was also have problems with what I thought was my hubs...no, it wasn't...

OK, this is the second time my truck has almost left me stranded without any warning. I'm running an Optima battery, and all the connections were good. Turn the key, nothing. Ended up climbing under the truck and beating on the starter. Turned the key, started right up. Don't you think a...

Ok, I've had a set of Warn's since feb. of '98. I've been having some problems with them locking. They make funny noises, and click. I called Warn, and said if I have the receipt, I can take them to one of their autherized dealers, and they can inspect them. I want to make sure its the hubs...

Ok, hear is the deal. I am having 4.10 put in my ride. I drive this truck on the street a most of the time, but still want it to perform off. I also drive many highway miles in rain, snow, and ice. (San Diego to Montana trips). I AM NOT goining to spend the money on an ARB and have the...

Okay, I need some feedback on this. I was going to wait until the pre-t-haven run to ask the guys, but I thought I'd just throw this out now to get some feedback. I've been thinking on going on a trip down into baja california. I see off-roading trips down there all the time. Would anybody...

Well, here's the post. We are planning a run before the big 2001 T-Haven run. The dates are sceduled for the 18th and 19th of November. Mac, since you seem to be the resident expert in the area, I'll let you post exacts on the run. All interested please post. Thanx!

I was in my local 4x4 shop yesterday, and the Warrior Products rep happened to walk in. I ended up talking to him for a while about the shackles for Explorers. I gave him a hard time about the bolt size, and he said they changed the bolts. He said the product will be shipped with the larger...

Does anyone know the exact size of the nut holding down the retainer for the front coil springs. I'm guessing 1 1/8", but know that I'm going to buy a new deep well socket that size and want to have it before tearing apart. Thanx.

I talked to someone the other day, and they said that there was a company now making front coil spacers for the Explorer. Any info on this would be higly appreciated. I just added the Warrior Shackles on top of my add-a-leavs, and I'm funning a 2 1/2" kit up front. Right now I'm sitting just...

I'm looking for a little extra height in the a$$ of my explorer. I'm thinking of using a hitch mount dirt bike carrier, and I alread have sag. The add-a-leafs didn't do the job when I put the suspension kit on. Will I get more than 4" with a leaf over conversion. Who offers these kits, and...
