    Rough Ride

    I know alot of eople who just go by the side of the tire, and they go max whatever psi. What happened here was this past winter i needed air in my tires so I put it up to 39 psi and I have never touched it since yesterday, and take notice that the hotter it is outside the more air expands, so I...

    Rough Ride

    Hi yeah I was up that way not to long ago up at a junkyard up there, I needed parts for my jetta. Also My sticker does say 30psi so i set it around 34 and it feels good for now. I guess the explorers suspension setup isnt for a smooth ride!

    Rough Ride

    The RAB are intact and the one is new. I might just get new coils. So whats the verdict, go by what the tire says or what the sticker says?

    How do I know when ECU goes closed loop?

    I have sort of the same problem. My temp guage reads usually around the N or Below it, sometimes it gets up to O or R. I had it at the dealership a while back, and the did a full coolant system overhaul.

    Rough Ride

    I recently replaced my front shocks and the explorer still rides bumpy as hell. the RAB's are still good, the only thing clinking around is the brake pads need anti rattle clips. Any suggestions?

    Just a quick question all.

    Maybe I just need a new heater core, becuase my whole system was replaced, and flushed except the heater core. Sometimes it does it at a lower rpm then other days. Ill try the method you suggest above thanks again.

    Blown Head Gasket - fix or sell???

    I would just get it replaced. Same thing happened to me, I bought the explorer and one week later I found out the right head gasket was blown so I got it replaced and while the mechanic was in there I asked him to replace a whole ot of stuff becuase it really would not add to much more to the...

    Right Front Sound...

    thanks everbody, im going to take the wheel off again and check right now. I am certain now that it definatly has something to do with the brakes becuase I could drive around and not touch the brakes heavily and it would not do it, but as soon as I would lay on the brakes to come to a stop and I...

    Right Front Sound...

    I was listening a little closer and as soon as I go on the brakes a little bit it stops. And I mean a little bit. and going a decent speed down the hi-way it doesn't do it??? Is there anything I should look for when the wheel is off, I had the wheel off and visually nothing looked or felt loose...

    Right Front Sound...

    Thanks, ill try that 4x4 manuver, i took the wheel off today and everything is well greased and stiff. Would a wheel bearing even make a luka-luka-luka sound?
