Hey Guys, My 1998 ford explorer sport finally bit the dust. Timing chain finally caught upto it with 154k on the clock. My new to me escape has had the battery and alternator replaced with the battery light staying on 99% of the time. Any suggestions on what to check next? So far i have not...

Well i have done some searching and have not found much info on what im seeking. Seems like all the threads that come up in my search are all hid related. My headlights are horribly fogged on my 98 and i want to replace them. Im not looking for anything fancy and want to stick with 9007 bulbs. I...

Hello. I am in the process of installing a subwoofer. I got a great deal on a used MTX thunderform sub box with 10" MTX subwoofer. I am pretty clueless though when it comes to picking out an amp. I should add that my truck still is using the stock amp that is located in the rear sidewall of my...

Well i put my 3" bodylift on last week and it seemed fine at the time as far as the steering was concerned. I had no binding what so ever but now this week i noticed my steering wheel turns harder then it use to. I checked the truck and i cant see anything binding. I couldnt find much while...

Hi there. I have searched around and cant find the answer to my problem. I am midway through my body lift and I ran into a snag. I am stuck on the front two body mounts at the moment. I got the nut off the top no problem but how do i get the bolt out now? It seems like a really silly question...

I came across this on another forum and thought you guys would be interested in this explorer. Looks like a pretty sweet setup. Just to be clear. This is NOT my truck. This is the info the ad gives on it: 1999 Ford Explorer with a 1992 Gen 1 12v Cummins with right at 145,000...

Hey you i got it figured out! The problem was the connector that plugs onto the speaker. The metal contacts inside the plastic were very loose. Looks like $20 for new connectors so i just broke out the soldiering gun. Much cheaper and works great now!

I just want to get confirmation that i have the correct sensor before i replace it. I have a cel p0153 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1). Right now there is a bosch plug in that location. Now i believe this must be the drivers side and the sensor located between the cat and the...

I know i know this isnt my explorer or even an explorer but thought it might inspire some of you. I helped my stepdad about 7 hours non-stop on the interior of his 2004 f150 this past sunday trying to lay camouflage vinyl on parts of the dash as well as center console. We ordered a 4x5 foot...

I have been having some speakers issues and i am finally ready to fix it since the weather has started to turn nice. I searched and didnt find much on the my problem. My passenger side front speaker is giving me problems. It works but it is very quiet. Seems like its only running at about 10%...

Well my 98 ex with the sohc seems to have an odd smell lately while running. I have smelled it twice very heavy but that was while i was reversing out of a parking spot. After that i have only smelled it after i shut the truck off and get out but it is faint. I have checked all the transmission...

Well i have been searching on here for while becuase i have a little issue with my truck. I have a P0430 code popping up and it seems the three things to check are the catyltic converter, the bank 2 sensor 2 O2 sensor, or the camshift position sensor. But i thought the threads i mainly read on...

I am next to clueless when it comes to transmissions but was hoping to find any info i could on the what could be the problem. My Mom's 2000 ford windstar's transmission just seemed to die. She was driving on the highway and next thing you know speed is going down and the rpms shot up. No loud...

I think i have a problem but i searched around and found nothing related to it. When i am driving with the cruise control on and drive up a decent incline or a hill my heater stops blowing warm air. Once i make it to the top of the hill it begins blowing air again. Its not a big issue just...

Hi everyone. I figured since i am finally elite i would register my truck. It's no where near as modded as some of the trucks on the site but it does have some mods. Here is what i got 1998 Ford Explorer Sport Sohc V6 4WD 4.10 gears 120,x.. on it presently 114,x.. when i bought it back...

I saw this on another forum and thought i would post it here. Scary stuff. The pictures speak for themselves. Here is the orginal link

I am hoping i can narrow down where the problem might lie. My mom has a 2000 ford winstar that has some very strange electric issues. When she goes over any bumps all the doors will lock and unlock. The interior lights will also turn on and off as well. This makes for a very annoying ride. There...

I pulled the codes on my truck and got a P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak) P0232 Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit High I searched but didnt find much help on the subject. How do i fix these problems? The truck seems to run normal. I keep getting the p0455. I...

I have been wanting to put a kill switch in the sport for last year and finally have done it. I picked out a few locations but everyone never seemed to my liking. The one i really liked and planned on doing till just the otherday was wire up an old dimmer switch mounted down by the brake pedal...

I am hoping for some help. I think i have a stuck caliper. I just got home and smelled an aroma like when one uses a grinder on metal. I walked around the truck using my to feel for heat from the wheels and notice the front one is very hot. I jacked it up and the tire spins really hard. Popped...

Hey i guys i was looking for some advice. My truck threw the P0455 code today. I looked up previous threads on the subject and found its a EVAP Gross leak going on. I tried messing with the gas cap with no results. The only other symptom i have is under heavier acceleration my truck quits...

Hey all. Since i haven’t seen much info on this led swap i thought i would share how i did my led conversion for the rear controls of the center console. Even though i cant see them i still wanted the ugly green gone so my entire truck has a nice blue glow to it. Parts Used 4x Blue Led...

Please ignore. I took a second look at it and got it figured out.

I havent seen any one really do a write up for this mod, but i figured i would share how i did mine. I couldnt believe ford didnt put a light under the hood on some of these 2nd gen trucks. So i decided to add my own. Parts List - GM under the hood retractable light $18.00 (found on ebay...
