Yes my explorer is blue, and though i dont particularly like pep boys, I usually go to the one off glenwood if I need something quick. -Jonathan

Cleaning rotors and pads once i have the calipers off, how do i clean the rotors and pads???

well i really need some help. ive got a 96 explorer with 4 wheel disc brakes. the problem is everytime i apply the brakes there is a grinding/scraping sound coming from the rear end. sometimes it sounds like a certain spot on the rotor because when i apply the brakes it scrapes, then stops and...

my friend wants me to change the thermostat on her 96 mustang with a 3.8 v-6, i figure its probably similar to the 4.0. my question is, how do you change it, how hard is it, and how long will it take? thanks. -jonathan

woops.....my knock. i thought it might be the same, guess i thought wrong. -jonathan

yes, those rpm numbers sound too high. there should be a little button on the tip of the shifter that says OD, this toggles the Over Drive on and off. in my 96 there is a small light on the dash that comes on when you turn the OD off. and it says "OD OFF". if you dont see a little light on the...

the other day i decided to try one of my wild ideas and see if i could take the doors off my explorer. i decided i would try to get the driver's door first, just to kinda see whether it could be done or not. well you really only have to unbolt 4 bolts to detach the door from the body. the...

does anybody make a spool for the 8.8? thanks -jonathan

well, i assume you mean the front spring perches for the coil springs, and if they are attached in some other way....bolts i guess, then i dont see why you would need to weld them, if they are not attached in any other way, then yes definately weld them on. -jonathan

i have been up short hills that looked to be about 65 or 70 degrees in slope. -jonathan

by the way, in case i forgot to mention it, the 2-3 hour time is the drive to uwharrie and not tellico, tellico would be more like 5 or 6 hours from raleigh. -jonathan

the drive from raleigh is between 2 and 3 hours, depending a lot on traffic really. last time we left at like 4:30 on a friday afternoon from raleigh, and it took us a good 3 hours without stopping, and then comin back we left early sunday afternoon, stopped to eat lunch and we got back in 2...

if you are going to get a new custom bumper then i think that a tow hook would be your best bet, they are very cheap and work just as well as a receiver hitch to get you unstuck. the only advantage to the hitch is that you could use if for a multimount winch, but here again if you get a custom...
