    Best plugs and wires

    I replaced mine recently. I cant remember which wires I chose. I wanted to get Motocraft for the plugs but Discount either didnt carry them or have them in-stock, so I was recommended to get Autolite. They were just fine for me, I am happy, but then again I am stock.

    Intense carpet cleaning

    Last weekend I was nominated the DD for my brother and his friends to a party because they wanted my Explorer for the room, needless to say....I regret ever being nice. I need some tips/tricks of getting that GREAT vomit smell out of the carpet. One of my brother's friends used this...

    SOHC muffler - good replacement?

    I checked out in Flowmaster's website about the 50 Series SUV muffler. It lists the years as being 1997-2000 (sohc dual inlet). Would this also fit a 1996? or not? They have nothing here for a 96 sohc.

    Theft light problem

    lately my 96 X would turn the "Theft" light on every now and then. It used to be just from starting up but now it comes on randomly while driving and it only stays on for about 10-15 seconds. It didnt have the option to begin with. I would guess its a mix up with the wires but I just want to...

    http://www.explorerexpress.com/50/suspension.html Does anyone have this package on their Explorer? It seems like a nice thing to have for better in-city driving on my daily driver. With a lack of good sites to take my truck offroad in urban Orlando (I dont think Mickey Mouse would appreciate...

    Flushing all fluids...

    How often are these fluids really good for? I know they arnt something on the frequent side like oil but in the 4 years ive had my Explorer i cant remember any fluid flushings, just topping off. Break fluid keeps the breaks functional, transmission doesnt hickup and power steering is still...

    Air Intake Systems

    The chrome tube from the Mac system, just for show? Or does it have some function that i cant really think of? I am in this market also and im not going to put out $240 for the complete air box, so pretty much the chrome tube will swing me MAC or K&N.

    Cobra engine into Explorer swap.

    So far it sounds like getting the Explorer 302 is the best bang for the buck. Id rather not shell out the major bills for not too much more under the hood, not really worth it. I am going to keep a look out to see if i can find a donor V8 to mooch off of. Thanks for all the input guys...

    Cobra engine into Explorer swap.

    For going with the Cobra, would it do much at all to the towing capacity of the engine? I'd assume its more than the stock i have now but as for puting a car engine in a truck, im just curious how the "truck" aspects of it would go up or down. I dont have some big boat or anything im hauling...

    low idle

    I noticed that when I first start the truck and wait for it to warm up and get into its normal idle (around 1200RPM) it sits fine. I drive it down the street, get to the first red light and the idle drops down to 900RPM. If I sit at the red light long enough it sounds like the engine shudders...

    Cobra engine into Explorer swap.

    I have my 96 Explorer that I would like to beef up as I get my new daily driver soon. I was first thinking on pretty much making it a Lightning Explorer but then I thought "hey...Dodge put a Viper engine into a Ram, so why cant I put a Cobra engine into my Explorer?" How well do you guys think...

    Question about top rear light

    The top rear light (in the center above the back window) went out in my 96 a while ago and Ive tried to replace it but i cannot get to it. I took of the plastic panel on the inside of the door but that just takes you to the back of its insides, doesnt help anything with that light. I dont have...

    Starting myself from stock

    Hey guys, this is my first post here on the boards so lets hope it doesnt suck! :D Ive got a '96 XLT, my very first truck given to me when i was 17 (2 years ago) and I have always wanted to use a SUV/truck for what its built for. So after a LONG time i finally took it out for its first...
