    Feels Like The Left Side Is Going Over Small Speedbumps

    Okay, so for the longest time my X would shake at highway speeds. Well, now even when I'm going slow, it feels like I'm driving over small speedbumps like every five feet on the left side, I'm guessing it's once per every revolution of the tire. I have no idea what it is.....any thoughts?

    Aftermarket Tranny

    I was perusing various parts websites as usual and, coming up on that time that I'll need a rebuilt transmission, I took interest in the transmission sections. There seems to be some quality performance-minded transmissions for about half of what a rebuild would cost me. Would it make sense to...

    Does Seafoam Always Cause Exhaust Smoke?

    Okay, so I decided to Seafoam my '04 XLT today. Followed the directions exactly, 1/3 in the oil, 1/3 in the gas tank, and 1/3 in a vacuum line. Then I shut it off for five minutes like the bottle said, and then turned it back on. Idling, no smoke, holding it at 2k rpm for a minute, no...

    Best Way To Remove Oil Filter

    Alright, so instead of outsourcing my oil changes like I always have in the past, I decided to do my own today. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the old filter off. I've heard strap wrenches are the best way, but I don't have one. I have a K&N filter to put on, so I won't have this problem...

    Oil Filter Bracket?

    I've had a very minor oil leak on my X for the past few months, just a few drops on the driveway. Took it to the mechanic to look at, thinking it was the pan gasket maybe, he said it was the filter bracket. Does anyone know where to get these for a decent price?

    UDP Questions

    So I'm looking at getting a UDP kit for my X. Looking at Trick Flow's site, along with Summit Racing, they say THIS fits the engine. However, looking further, I found THIS, which not only is aluminum (so lighter and easier to spin), but also blue, which would be a nice step on my way to making...

    CAI for 4.6L???

    I've searched the forums for CAI's and found a good number of threads, but couldn't find a thread about products for the 4.6L that A LOT of us have. Is there one out there besides K&N? This is almost depressing. It seems every company that manufactures CAIs has one for the 4.0L V6's, but not...

    Guess I'll Finally Introduce Myself Now...

    Alright, I've been on this forum since the spring of 2006. I bought my 2004 Explorer XLT Sport and then posted a few questions. Fast forward to about two weeks ago, and I suddenly get the bug, really bad. I was always interested in mods and everything, but it just seemed like other things in...

    Anyone Interested In Custom Exhaust?

    For a while I've been searching for the perfect exhaust for my X. Something that's nice and deep and throaty and mean sounding, but still makes it sound "tuned", if you will. I was just going to go with a Flowmasters 40 muffler. They have the nice deep throaty sound, but even at the high...

    Door Keypad Problem

    I searched the forum and couldn't find any thread that matched my question, so I apologize if this has been answered before. The keypad on my door has stopped working. It seems to be just the 9/0 button, because every other button I press makes it light up. The problem is that the 9/0...

    V8 TB Data and Upgrade Q's

    Alright, I have an '04 4.6L V8. I believe the throttle body is 68mm, but I'm not positive. Anyone know for certain? Also, I've been thinking about upgrading the TB, obviously bigger=more air=better, but I've heard that too big could actually hurt performance? Right now I have no mods on my...

    '04 V-8 Towing Capacity

    A little background on my situation here. I'm a member of Greater Philadelphia Search and Rescue. A few months ago I got an '04 Explorer XLT with the V-8 in it and class III receiver. Maybe two weeks ago, my chief asked me, since I had a V-8 and class III, if I would be willing to tow the...

    '04 Front License Plate Mount

    I recently purchased an '04 XLT. Now, basically every Gen 3 Explorer that I've seen has a front license plate bracket, except for mine, no holes or anything. I can't find anything online about them, does anyone know where I can get one and not have to use a generic mount?
