Been years since I posted, but here I go. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but when it comes to the engine/trans I tend to leave it to the pros. When I start it up I get the rattle like marbles whether the engine is warm or cold. One time out of ten it will start up normally without one...

Seriously, don't hit any bumps or your tranny will go out on you. This morning on my way to work I hit a man hole cover that was recessed in the pavement maybe an inch. Stopped at the light and when it turned green....nothing. No reverse, no drive...so I shifted it to 1 and it worked fine...

What can I expext to pay for a factory quality paint job at the minimum. Thanks, Matt

Check this out...true modile audio... God as a DJ

Fast transaction and received exactly what was discussed. Although the parts were used, they looked brand new. Definitely a great deal and would buy from him again. Matt

I figured I'd post here since you guys deal with this alot with audio systems. What is the proper way to test the output of my alternator, what voltage should it have and is the output adjustable. Thanks, Matt

Need some new OEM body mounts. Where can I get some? Tried Fast Parts with no response. Matt

Why am I getting water in my headlights? I understand there is a vent, but a half a cup of water is rediculous. What gives? Matt

OK, I have had this problem for a few yrs. It's just getting worse. It is intermittent and varies in how noticable it is. There isn't any audible noise, just the feel of something loose or shifting. When I come to a stop either hard or soft I feel a thud. I can't tell if it is from the rear...

I need some advice on a cat back system. My main concern is quiet, performance would be second. I was looking at flowmaster, but with this matter I am not very knowledgable. Thanks, Matt

Who's got one and how do you listen to it in your truck? I got the 20G for xmas and it's pretty sweet. My bro has the 60 or 80G one and he was like, dude, I'll never fill this thing up....LOL I just bought the Belkin FM digital unit. So far so good. I can tell you that the DLO FM...

Can I get an aux input cable for my stock deck? Trying to connect my Ipod. I read on the Crutchfield site that they use the open plug for the cd changer to plug into for aux inputs, but I can't find any specific harnesses. If they exist, where can I get one? Thanks, Matt

Ok....I'll try to explain. For the past..oh....8 months I have had a rough idle. I ignored it for a while figuring it was bad gas. Once it started to get worse I decided to run a few tanks of injector cleaner which didn't help. I ignored it a little more(hoping it was a phase), but it...

Ok, so after ribbing everyone else on the board about silly questions, :p I have a silly question of my own. Yes, I can take the heat so let me have it. Here's the question: Does the SOHC have a PCV valve and if so, where the f**k is it. :confused: Thanks in advance, Matt

Hey guys, long time no see. I have a rough idle and hoping some of you can help. It is more of a sputter than a rough idle. At a cold start up it runs smoothly, but when warmed it sputters about every few seconds. It will do this up to about 1500 rpm and then after that it runs smooth. The...

What am I looking at for labor to regear my front and rear? Can I do this myself?

I need someone in the CT area to fabricate a roof rack for me because I cannot weld. Never learned how...silly me. My jeep rack has already rusted and failed. Anyway, as a last resort I will buy the Surco but it really is not what I like. I was looking for something like this.

Has anyone used this product and is it worth buying for maintenance sake? What does it do exactly? It is an additive, correct? Or Is it just another gimmick on the shelf?

I just wanted to take time to thank the members here at Explorer4x4.com The information I have obtained from members here has saved me a incredible amount of time and money. Since I joined in 2000, I have helped and been helped. No, I am not leaving...just felt like giving thanks where it...

I'm sure I am not the first...just thought it would be fun to post. My arm, unfortunately was not stronger than the fender. I was mother f-ing for 15 minutes after this one. BTW, it's a Pittsburg ratchet.

Anyone done it? Easy or hard? Can I do it with out the special tool?

I went to Ford and dropped the X off for them to give me an alignment, check the front end for anything loose and grease the rear shaft. What I want to know is what is involved in greasing the shaft. I went under and looked and it doesn't look like they even touched it. The boot is still...

Has anyone found a fix for the SOHC valve chatter between 2000 and 3000 rpm? Since I put on the new tires I can really hear it now unlike before when the mudders hid the noise. It is dead on the mark too, from 2000 and right at 3000 it stops. Nothing before 2000 either. I am using 93...
