    im back

    and still looking to lift the explorer. i think i want about a 2-3" lift, nothing more. just doing some reading around, it sounds like i should go with extended radius arms to get more travel? i want to get a kit that actually works good, more travel, softer, all that good stuff, not just a...

    bad tps?

    when i floor the gas from a stop, it accelerates, then bogs down really hard for a couple seconds, then picks back up again and drives normally. id had some throttle response issues before, theyre gone, and it started doing this. is there a way to check the tps? thanks.

    No Power

    i used to be able to burn out in my stock 4.0 4WD Automatic 3.73 lsd explorer, but now i cant. it feels super sluggish driving around town, has horrible throttle response (i have to floor the gas about a second before i want to pull into traffic, and i feel like im gonna get rear ended). i...

    so a little while back my alternator went bad, i just replaced it yesterday but the car kept dying, so i recharged battery today (tested bad so i charged it up, and it was fine), got home just fine (7 miles) today, but the battery light is still on, and the voltage on the guage is reading a...

    good place for tires?

    where is a good place to get wheels and tires? i got quoted about 900 bucks at discount tire for 31x10.50-15 bfg a/t's and 15x8 steel wheels. (but i think i like the mt's better, but theyre like 25-30 more a tire, and he said they dont last as long?) thanks a bunch.

    did my first "off-road" mod

    well did my first mod today, i disconnected the rear sway bar. i like it a lot. it doesnt feel like it rolls over much more if any, but it rides a little nicer. i think im gonna fully remove it tomorrow. just pretty excited. i also found some 31x10.50's mounted on 15x8's locally for 200 bucks...

    Messed up my mas sensor?

    so i got some intake cleaner from work and sprayed it on the throttle body and maf sensor, and took it around the block, and when i floor it, it jerks and bucks and doesnt gain speed, but partial throttle driving is good. also, if i go from off throttle to full throttle, it doesnt do anything...

    rti ramp?

    so im getting ready to lift my explorer and put on some bigger tires, and i was thinking about putting it on a rti ramp before and after just out of curiosity. where can i find one? they dont look too complicated, so i assume a lot of people have them? thanks.

    trademotion.com?

    is this a good (read: cheap) place to get oem ford parts or is there somewhere better? its 250 bucks alone for con rod bearings, 170 for rings, and i cant even figure out their methodology for categorizing main bearings. anyone know of any place that has cheaper parts? Thanks.

    loss of power at high rpms?

    i have a big problem with low power at high rpm's. its an automatic, and in first gear it pulls nice till like 4k then starts to just rev and not move, then it shifts and starts pulling real nice again then starts to sputter and jerk a little bit. i think its a fuel problem since its only...
