    255/45r20 tires?

    I have a 2008 Explorer limited with the optional 20 inch wheels. Tires on it now are just junk, Bridgestone Dueler Alenzos, won't balance or anything. Shop recommends new tires, so I'm pulling the trigger. I want the Nitto NT 420s all seasons. Current tires are 255/50r20, I can get the Nitto's...

    HID headlight questions

    Shaking at highway speeds

    Opinion on wheel hubs

    Just got my explorer back from the body shop getting some rust taken care of, now on to my wheel hubs/bearings. Been growling and humming now for about a month, just ordered the 1A auto brand hubs, the pair for $142. They wanted $575 for the motorcraft pair, and a little less than that for the...

    2008 explorer door problems

    I just bought my 08 limited 3 weeks ago and every time I open and close the drivers door it pops and creaks. Is there any way to cure or fix this? Its embarrassing opening the door in public and just plain bothers me in general. Thanks!

    Question on programmers

    Hey guys, just bought my explorer 2 weeks ago and just had the PCM reflashed today for the transmission shutter issues these transmissions have. Anyway it has 138k miles on the original tranny and 4.6 v8 but I'd like to install a programmer on it to gain a little more mpg and of course power...
