    To sell or trade?

    I am looking at swapping my 2000 awd V8 Explorer for an 06 EB Expedition. If I try to sell my ex with 139,000 on the clock and good condition, what is the going rate for them? I know the dealer that has the ex will beat me up just to make the money.

    Front differential bearing question!

    I have a 2000 Awd ex with a front end noise that seems to be coming from where the passenger side cv joint goes into the differential housing. What I need to know is if there is a bearing or anything that holds the weight of the cv and the short shaft that goes into the pumpkin? That cv axle...

    Fan question

    Will a steel blade fan from a 97 v8 ex work in place of the plastic fan on my 2000 v8? Found 2 at the yard and need to replace my plastic one before the cracks get too bad.

    exhaust manifold gasket prep

    My ex is in bad need of exhaust gasket replacement on passenger side. Besides pb blaster what other prep work should be done before probably breaking bolts off in the head? Should I warm the engine up before trying to break the bolts loose? I figure that is just as good as trying to heat them...

    fan clutch question

    Got home after driving 2-3 miles from football game and popped hood to check a/f leak. Noticed that my fan was starting to show cracks, started engine and throttled it up to 2-3 grand and noticed that the fan did not slow down. It was @ 50 degrees outside and we had not driven that far...

    Front differential question

    I am pretty sure that I have a bearing making noise in my front diff. Can I replace the pinion bearing and reinstall my chunk and shims the way they came out or will it need to be set up again. I acknowledge that it may have worn the ring and pinion and may need to be swapped. Used ones in my...

    front differential bearings

    Has anyone put bearing kits in their front differential? I have been told that it takes special tools to set the "lash". I have found bearing kits for ~$100, but if it is not something that can be done without special tools then it is not worth getting. A shop would kill me on labor if I took...

    changing "tupperware" color

    I have a white ex with gray front bumper cover and tupperware down the side. I was wondering if anyone has ever painted their plastic to match the body. Or if I found a Limited ex with white tupperware, would it fit my xlt?

    aftermarket radio installed

    I finally could not deal with my possessed radio anymore. Bought Pioneer super tuner, adapter plate, and wiring harness and my troubles are gone. They were proud of the harness, but it was a straight up instlall. I did lose the rear console control functions, but that just takes control from...

    Radio problem (not only display)

    I have a possesed radio. One day my cd player stopped playing, I looked at the display and it is just "flipping" through the tracts. I listen to my xm radio with the cassette that plugs into the xm unit and my radio stopped playing and was switching back and forth like it does at the end of a...

    any pictures of f150 spring lifted x's

    I was wondering if anyone had pics of a 2nd gen x with the f150 spring mod done and what size tires they are running. My x has the plastic molding aroun the wheel wells and not much space in between the 255/70r/16 tires. Still factory so far. I can pick up some springs for $40 from a bone...

    2000 suspension thoughts

    I have searched and still can not find an answer to my silly thoughts. I have a stock 2000 awd and would like to lift it slightly but, I want a nice ride out of the family vehicle. I was wondering, has anyone installed the skyjacker 4'' lift rear leaf springs to raise the rearend rather than...
