Its been a long time since I have posted here, but everyone says you come back to your roots sometime. Since I sold the 95, I had recently picked up an 03 Mountaineer v8. Now....on to the mess I just had a nightmare of a tranny rebuild. I have definitely learned what shop NOT to use...

My X has had a bad thermostat for some time now, It never went off Cold. I finally replaced it today, and now it cycles to normal temp, then I am assuming, it opens, because the guage goes back down and continues this cycle. I would think that would be fine, but have looked on here, and am not...

Merry Xmas to me...a week after having my tranny fixed because I blew a band, my wifes 1996 Grand Am developed a very loud Rod Knock. Just wondering if any of you mechanics can tell me if accessing the lower part of the engine is a PITA or not. Is the oil pan easily removed and the crankshaft...

This morning I noticed that my truck had a sporadic jingling noise that came from underneath somewhere. Best I could describe it is like if a rock was in your centercap or something like that. It only happened when moving, but wasn't constant. On the way home, it seemed to get louder at one...

Just noticed recently that when I turn my heat on when it's cold out, my MPGs go down by 3-4. I know that it's not just because it's cold out cuz if I dont run the heat, I freeze, and get better MPG. Any ideas??

Just wondering what you guys thought of the new design. Someone will be losing their job for taking these.

Here are some updated pics of the ride. I will be updating this thread on how they continue to perform.

Well...if everything goes as planned I will be riding on a new set off 33's within a week. I have looked at the reviews for this tire and everything seems pretty positive, and, I really can't beat this deal. I have run a few searchs on here and came up with some info, but wanted to post this...

My buddy was thinking about trying one for his car, I have never heard of them but figured I would ask you guys. Next Level Performance

Some members of the Midwest-Xplorers and their buddies are planning a run to the dunes. We will be staying at the Hideaway Campground. We are quite the group of partiers when we get together camping, but everyone is more than welcome to join us. WORD OF ADVICE: Get a K&N net if you are...

Just incase anyone was lookin for some. Not a bad deal. http://www.tellico4x4.com/scratch4.htm

I currently have 3.73LS gears in the back. I am thinking of upgrading and have some questions. 1) First and foremost, this is for the pros, 4.10's or 4.56 with the OHV???? I am gonna go up to 33's, but if I plan on doing 35's later...should I just get the 4.56 now and they will be fine while...

Rick, Just wondering what ever happened to this. Are the elites still able to get this title posted undeer their screenname?? Thanks Shaun

I have searched and found that most use a 195 T-stat, but, my question is, with my chip, intake, BBK TB, exhaust, and weather/location, do you think I should stick with this or should I put in a different temp one?? I plan on replacing this shortly. Thanks Shaun

I know the pictures suck, and the Grill guard is too high right now, it needs to be adjusted...but...it was very cold and windy outside yesterday so I was just glad to get it on.

Ok guys...don't tell me to use the search feature..cause I have...my problem sounds slightly different. Ok..I can start my truck just fine...and it idles. The problem comes when I am driving...and let off the gas...it stalls. Like if I am going 60, and totally let off the gas...it dies...

Grill Guard Color Poll Ok guys, I just bought Michiganders Grill Guard off of him, and, it being used, had some small rust spots, so, I have 2 options that I want your opinions on. I possibly have the opportunity to get it chemical stripped and powdercoated for FREE, which will strip it of...

After coaxing him over and over again, he finally decided to sell me his Grizzly Grill Guard. We met in a Meijers parking lot, and everything went smooth. He has a nice X(Even though for some reason it towered over Mine) and is a very friendly person. Thanks again Bill. Pictures to come.

I was told by someone that you can get something, where I can use my current Sony 10 disc changer, and buy like a Clarion or something Headunit, buy a universal plug, and use the changer controls from the headunit without needing a FM Modulator. Does anyone have a good answer to this??

Ok..this question is for a buddie of mine. He has a 2002 Altima with XM radio and recently blew out his door speakers. What is a good quality speaker to replace them with?? He will be running them with the stock power from the radio. Thanks Shaun

I don't know if anyone else has posted this or not, but I thought it was quite interesting. Dead Link Removed Dead Link Removed

This sound clip is of DeagleDave's X. He has the single in/Dual out config. My bandwidth sucks...so you first viewers will be the lucky ones. Sounds like a mustang to me. 40 Non-Delta im working on the link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK...I asked something similar to this before, but got no real answer. I am replacing a JL 12w6. I loved the way this sub sounded. Great SQ and pretty good SPL. I am looking at getting about the same SQ with a little more SPL if possible. The three subs I'm looking at are: Alpine Type-R, a/d/s...

Well...I have seen the threads where many have painted their Vinyl and I just hated the vinyl so much I decided to replace it. So far...I have done the center console and the passengers door. I recovered it with a black viynl with a grain that looks a lot better than the stock stuff. I will be...
