    Regearing

    4.56's..... my exploder will get up and go with em. Although u will lose some high range power.... I never remembered having much high range stock anyways, so who cares. Most of my driving is 30-55 anyways. She runs close to 3000 RPM going 65. It just gets plain scary going more then 70 to be...

    Extremely Annoying Whistle

    Well I dont think its tranny related because it doesn't seem to happen with shifting, just accel..... My driveshaft is making an awful noise also because it needs to be extended and has play in it.....getting that extended tommorow most likely. Maybe I'll get lucky and get 2 birds with one...

    Extremely Annoying Whistle

    Alright I managed to record the sound with my cellphone. It's not very good sound quality, and the Xterrains and exhaust don't help much, but it's something.Ignore the video I was just using it to get the sound portion. You can really hear it when I let off the accelerator right at the end...

    Extremely Annoying Whistle

    I was used to that intake whistle noise....... and I had the KKM for 2 years without it making this noise. If I can, I'll try and find someway of recording it. Although, I could be wrong, I think it is way too annoying to be a normal thing.

    Extremely Annoying Whistle

    For the past year my explorer has been making an extremely annoying whistle noise. It is not the woooooo train horn noise that is stickied above. It is a very high pitched whistle. I didn't notice it as much before because my tires and front suspension made a ton of noise. Now that I have a new...

    any help appreciated. truck's not starting.

    Blee: alright I did the thing with the screwdriver and it did make a start noise. According to what you said it is not suppose to try to start is that correct? Boyle: when you replaced the power cable was it doing what mine did? basically engaging the fuel pump, making the start...

    Need Some Opinions on an Explorer.

    well it's like an 88 F-150 and it has a bunch of ladder racks and various equipment on it. With all that equipment and the engine having about 260k on it , the mileage is really below what it should be. So needless to say it's pretty much a beater truck. The blue book on the explorer is 3,600...

    Need Some Opinions on an Explorer.

    A family member of mine saw a White 1998 Explorer Sport for Sale and was thinking of buying it for an extra day to day vehicle. He needs something with better gas mileage then his f-150 work truck, but still wants to be able to carry things and have extra room. It is a 4x4 with a 4.0 SOHC.It has...

    Door Lock Jammed! Please help.

    Same problem... on my 98 sport. Had to buy a whole new latch assembly thing. I messed around with for like 3 hours. I finally gave up and got chris's friend to fix it for me. Chris ( boominexplorer) told me he fixed his by pouring mass amounts of oil in there. I guess that loosened some parts up...

    turbo or supercharger?

    I'm guessing you have the 4.0 OHV motor by your year number. I am almost positive they don't make turbos or superchargers for that motor. A few people have fabricated them I would try using your search at the top and looking. There is a thread right now actually where someone just fabricated up...
