    stupid question about stereos??

    Stock amp doesn't mean the Legacy amp mounted under the seat when you got the vehicle. I forgort I was dealing with american made vehicles. I am a Subaru nut and some of the overseas stuff is McIntosh. My bad.

    stupid question about stereos??

    Spdy is right. I am a professional installer and when I used to work at a local stereo shop we would get people coming in that wanted to use their Aftermarket deck with their OEM deck. It costs more and 95% of the time sounds bad. (unless you have a Bose, Infinity, Sony, or McIntosh amps from...

    HELP!! My truck is POSSESED!!

    I don't have the cover on there and it is still oozing. It's coming from under the cover that houses the cruise controls and horn. I put a steering wheel cover on it thinking it would keep it under it but it just covers the cover. I'm thinking of just removing the steering wheel all together...

    HELP!! My truck is POSSESED!!

    Did the EB line come with leather wrapped SW? If not then someone put it on there. I removed the leather wrap and cleaned the wheel very well. IT just keeps coming back. I live in FL but the truck is garaged.

    HELP!! My truck is POSSESED!!

    Ever since I purchased my truck it has been oozing this black goo from the steering wheel. It's getting everywhere! On the seat, the floor, my hands, my clothes..EVERYWHERE!!! I've cleaned the steering wheel and seat but it just keeps coming back!! It's all over my brand new seat covers and...

    Key comes out while engine running

    I had a camaro that did the same thing...was the previous owner a girl with lots of keys or crap on her keyring?? That was the case in my vehicle. If you leave it running and lock the doors, you come back to a cool or warm car. I can't say I would do that with the price of gas being so high...

    Rear axle ID'ing

    I was looking at a powertrax unit. They are going for about $250.00 on ebay and from what I hear, I can install it myself with no moddifications or special tools. Anyone running a powertrax locker??

    1992 XLT rear doors and hatch wont open

    I have a door that does that. I got it to open once and it doesn't open since. I might just shave the handles and put an actuator in it to pop the door the door....I never use the back doors so I will just do it on them.

    how to tell if 4x4 is working or not?

    IMO....mud,dirt, gravel and stand on it. There is the jackstand option. If your state is an emissions state then take it to have it tested and tell them you want to use the 4wheel dyno....and watch. or you could find a sick hill, lock it in 4LO and try to climb it.

    Rear axle ID'ing

    That was a huge help. Thank you. Now that we know whats there....what are my options? Locker? LSD? spool?? In the future I might step up to 31's so I want something that can take some light wheeling and see towing action.

    Rear axle ID'ing

    As per my "towing package" thread I am to assume I have said towing package but I still don't know if I have the limited slip differential. If my memory serves me correctly, my door plate says I have Axle 45?? (Please note: I did a search on everything axle related and could not come up...

    Weirdest A/C question...

    I think the smallest rooftop unit they make is something like 13.5 BTU's. The window unit I have is 5K BTU's and it will make my master bedroom extremely cold. I'd rather have colder than hotter. I'd probably have to pull a generator on a trailer behind the truck just to power it...

    Weirdest A/C question...

    good point... I will just make the enclsoure so that it houses the rear of the A/C unit only. Therefore allowing it to use the air in the vehicle for intake. Maybe I should consider one of those roof-top RV units. I can pick those up pretty cheap.

    Help finding the source of front end clunking...

    I have a clunking noise too. I only notice it when I am wheelin in the empty lots next to my house. It hasn't affected it's drivability so I assume it is something minor like swaybar bushings. I even tried to break whatever was clunking so I could just fix it....no luck and I beat the heeeellll...

    Weirdest A/C question...

    I asked him if he could help me but his boss won't let him take the truck or the tools home. He has a ton of that fiberglass board stuff in his garage and some duct hose. The window unit recirculates inside air so I don't need a fresh air duct but I planned on the vent for the exhaust and the...

    I did a search before posting this thread and came up with no results. Has anyone done an H4 conversion on their Gen1 explorer? If so where did you get the parts or is there anyone yall would reccomend? I had my eyes on these from Matrix:
