:fire: :fire: My beautiful car, not yet 1 year old, that I have been so careful not to get dinged or dented, got sideswiped on the way home from work today! Driving back from work, I was in the right lane and there was a truck stopped up ahead in the left lane waiting to make a left turn...

I originally said this was going to be one of the first mods I did to the car, but I just got around to doing it today. :) I picked up a set of 168 clear/amber LED replacements for the parking lights (the are clear normally and then light up amber), and ordered chrome/amber 7440 bulbs for...

Just put these on this morning, since it is supposed to start staying below 40 degrees and possibly snow as early as Friday. Wheels are ASA ST4s, and tires are Dunlop Winter Sport M3s. (17x8 for the wheels, 225/45/17 for the tires.) I was hoping to get a 17x7.5 wheel, but they were...

I just ordered this car the last week of April, and the dealer said not to expect it until late June/early July, but my sales guy just called and he said they are taking it off the truck right now!!!!!!! :bounce: They won't have anyone in to service it until Tuesday, but I probably won't be...

Ever since my transmission broke for the first time (It has broken twice since then), I've been in the market for a new car. I needed something that had 4x4 or AWD, and wanted something foreign with 4 doors, better fuel economy, and most of all, speed, with a relatively good platform for...

Check this thing out 4000 hp. 55 psi boost, twin turbo. 250 mph/5.5 second 1/4 mile.

For any XM subscribers who have not heard the news: XM going 100% commercial free on music channels Guess they felt they needed to compete with Sirius in that respect, since Sirius has announced deals with many previously XM-only product makers such as Delphi and Alpine. Also, Sirius is...

First big snowfall of the year, so I lock my hubs, pull out of the garage, and hit my 4x4 button. The rear clicks and the light does not come on. This happens like clockwork every year! The first time I try to use my 4x4 in the snow, it does not work... And of course it worked perfectly fine...

I am looking for a Sirius-ready HU, which (AFAIK) limits me to Panasonic, Kenwood, and Clarion. I do not have any experience with any of them, but have heard good things about Clarion and some the high-end Panasonic stuff... I do not like the looks of the Kenwood HUs whatsoever. After some...

Here is the background... My original tranny lasted approximately 123,000 miles until the intermediate band broke, and I proceeded to drive about 2,500 - 3,000 miles with only 1st, 4th, OD, and reverse. Then I got it fully rebuilt to the tune of $2,000, with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty...

Yesterday I backed out of my parking space at work, moved the gear selector to OD, and didn't go forward... Gave it some more gas, still not moving. Finally, after I hit about 2500 RPMs, it shifted and I was on my way. It kept doing this the rest of the day! So I got home, checked the fluid...

Today on my way back from work, doing between 55 and 75 on the highway, I noticed that when I turn the steering wheel slightly to one side or the other, the Ex feels like it is slipping in the opposite direction, like the wheels just suddenly all lost traction. Very scary! :eek: It was bad...

My brother was driving my Ex yesterday and called me to inform me that while he was driving, the Ex completely died. We're talking cruising along at 50 mph, then the engine, electrical, brakes, and steering all shut down unexpectedly. (It is a good thing my alignment is slightly off and pulls...

Yes that is right... It will probably cost about 10 cents, (I had the parts in my garage already), and take about 5 minutes of your time to fix a sagging door. This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. My door closes just like it used to now. All you have to do is open the door...

I have been getting a CEL every time I drive for a while now, and I just pulled the codes and got these ones: 326: Pressure Feedback EGR (PFE) sensor or EGR Pressure Transducer (EPT) - signal voltage lower than expected. 332: Insufficient EGR flow detected. 335: Pressure Feedback EGR...

For a while now, the front end of my Ex has been making this clicking noise when moving, like something that is rotating is only hitting something else every so often. The click rate increases with speed. The strange thing is that the noise does not start until after the first time I have...

I just want to make sure that my non-functioning speedometer problem is caused by what I think it is before I go buy a new $23 VSS... I took my VSS out of the transfer case and spun the gear with a drill, and the speedo did not work. Then I removed the speedo cable from the VSS and spun the...

Okay, I just got my Ex back from the tranny shop, went to open the trunk, and noticed that I actually had to lift the trunk to get it open, and it would not open all the way. Upon closer inspection, I found that my driver's side shock had been torn off at the upper welds and was now wedged...

Well guys, I just removed the stereo system from my Explorer. Because of the broken transmission, I do not want to have to worry about the Ex if it breaks down somewhere and I have to leave it for a period of time. Also, I will be transferring the stereo to my new car in a few months. So...

Alright guys, here is a list of (as far as I know) all car audio manufacturers. I have included links to their websites, as well as links to specs on their subs and amps, where applicable. Now when someone says "I like this sub because..." Instead of someone else asking a million variations...

Well guys, unfortunately I received a call yesterday from my co-op employer... I was told that, effective immediately, the co-op program has been eliminated, leaving me without a job. Now, This is simply a "would you be interested" thread. I have approximately 2 months to find another job...

This one has me stumped... Last night around 6:15, I drove my truck home and it started and ran fine. Parked it, came outside this morning at 7:15 to start it and go to work and... Nothing. I turned the key and nothing (not the dome light, radio, etc.) turned on. The starter also did...

Two days ago I noticed a small puddle forming under my truck, just to the right of the passenger side front wheel... I didn't pay much attention to it. Yesterday I saw it again, bent down and swiped the puddle with my finger, and sure enough it was green and sweet smelling - antifreeze. I...

Recently I have noticed that when I let the truck roll at idle, I will get a clicking noise from what sounds like the front driver's side wheel... It is like there is something sticking out that will hit something else once per rotation. It is definitely a metallic noise... The speed of the...

Background: My trans would not shift out of first (or second, so I thought) unless I let off the gas and then throttled it lightly when the RPMs dropped. Reverse was fine. So I took it to the shop and they suspected that the servos were shot (See attached pic). They replaced them, still no...
