    More coolant = less cooling??

    Hi All, About 2 years ago was fighting a cooling issue. Replaced everything, radiator, water pump, t-stat, hoses, radiator cap, temp sensor, heater bypass valve, fan and finally the fan clutch (which was bad and fixed the problem). Rock solid since then. Last month or so started smelling faint...

    Tapping into stock wiring harness...

    What is the best place to tap into the stock harness and not mangle it? Ideally I would like to wire up a small distribution block with a relay for accessories like fog lights, aux cooling fans, underbody lights, etc. Any ideas?? oh, 92 XLT mostly stock. Thanks fellas.....

    92 XLT remote entry...

    Howdy all, so here is the deal. I have a 92 XLT that has remote locks on it. One key fob was stolen, the other is on it's last legs, so obviously I want to replace. My question is will the 93 and up key fob work? On all the siters I don't see factory '92 key fobs listed. Before you ask it isn't...

    Nuts, of the lug variety...

    Just a quick question.... when purchasing lugs for the "Outlaw II" style factory aluminum mags should I go with an acorn or bulge acorn style? I seem to be getting different answers all over the place. Soooo, I thought I'd ask those in the know. Thanks as usual.... KC

    Them's tha brakes, or lack thereof...

    OK Gents, try this on for size. Last weekend took the Ex in for an alignment. The tech tells me the front brakes look pretty bad. I go take a look and yes they are bad. They want $1200 for new everything up front. $300 and an hour later I'm starting the job myself. New everything. Rotors...

    Code questions.... EGR???

    First off, a big "Thanks!!" to Mr. Shorty et.all who offered solutions to my detonation problem. Replacing the lower intake gasket cured approx. 75% of the problem. Soooo here we are 4 months later, and I finally get the time to scan the codes and pursue the remaining 25%. Soooooo.... The KOEO...

    Seatbelt question.....

    OK, does anyone out there know what year seatbelts are interchangable? I know gen. 1's are, but will gen. 2's fit into a gen.1 ? Specifically the fronts? I know 2 doors won't interchange with 4 doors (different mounting), but beyond that I'm all stupid. TIA Gentlemen...... KC

    Timing Chain...

    OK Gurus, here's a question. In the next week or two I will be doing the famous lower intake gasket replacement. Here's my question - while I'm at it, should I replace the timing chain? 92 xlt w/ 117k on the clock. It runs fine (except for the ping and slow fouling of plug #5) no rattles...

    Detonation under load...

    OK, before anyone jumps on me, I did a search and tried everything that was suggected: complete tuneup with properly gapped plugs, new wires, cleaned MAF and idle control, checked intake bolts, replaced fuel filter, checked all vacuum hoses (they all seemed fine - no hardening) and seafoamed it...

    HU identification of system....

    OK, I'm a newbie on Exploder stuff, so bear with me.... on a 92 XLT is there a way to tell if I have a "base" or "premium" system just by looking at the HU? I know I don't have an audiophile as I don't have a factory sub. If I do have a premium, can I use the factory amp if I purchase the...

    P/S and blower motor ?????'s

    Two quick questions for the experts.... First, how much does the power sterring system hold?? I can't find a capacity listed anywhere (probably because I'm dense). I have the dreaded moan and want to try the flush/Lucas route before swapping it out. Second, how much of a PITA is it to pull the...
