As a follow up, I did get a supervisor, allegedly, to call me. She said she was confused by the back and forth in the notes. She told me that the repair was approved back on May 31. I told her yes but the other rep contacted the dealership and said no, it had to be blasted and repainted as...

Yes, it was around 33K when I first got it documented in May. Since then they've pushed it off/ignored it and claimed it didn't come through until July 11. I can get past the paint issue, but what I will not tolerate is being treated like this. A friend of mine said to check out the warranty...

Sign me up. My dealings with Ford customer service have turned into a frustrating nightmarish mess. To recap I first noticed the issue May 18. Took it to the dealer Monday the 23rd (scheduled). The guy at the dealer did his thing with the pics and write up. Told me it'd be a few days...

I heard back ftom the body shop guy from the dealer (Koons of Baltimore). Was as informative as he could be. When I met with him he told me he's about given up trying to repaint the hoods and just replaces them. When he called me back a couple days later he said Ford wanted them to sandblast...

Just noticed this issue on my 15 Sport. Bought it July of 14 has, 33K on it, wife's daily driver. Was walking around it this morning and I noticed what looked like a small ripple. Only reason I noticed it was from the hood being wet from the rain. Brushed away the water and noticed a nickle...

+1 I had the fronts on my '05 turned 2 weeks after I got it last summer. They're just trying to BS you into buying a new product for more money.

I don't know if this is related but I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with the rear window in my '05. It turns out it was the heat causing the glass to stick. When It finally opened it sounded like the wipers do when they get a little melted to the windshield and break free. Basicly...

Just went through that on mine this past Saturday for the first time. Hit the middle "setup" button and watch the menu on the lower right of the gage cluster. When you get to the oil (I forget exactly what it says) hit and hold the reset button. You'll be prompted to hold it for 5 seconds...

Does this cause leaking into the truck? I've noticed water getting in and even had ice laying on the matt in the rear this past winter.

I had a JL 1000/1 driving 2 12W6V2's, a JL 300/4, & a JL 300/2 in my 98 5.0L with stock battery and stock alt. I did have a 1 farad cap though, never had a problem in the 3 1/2 years it was in there (I traded in the truck last week on a '05 4.6L)

I have an apten chip but haven't tried to go above my stock limit of 109. Tires were crappy and when I got them changed there was still a vibration. I recently took it to a garage near home and viola no more vibration. Good ol' boys sure know how to balance tires!! Now its burning oil...

Don't do it!! I did and am now looking for something else or to put the old ones back on. I got the Edlebrock IAS shocks. The whole thing sits lower and the rear sags. I was also told by John V. (from EE) that the Edlebrocks aren't recomended for replacement of the air ride shocks. The...

I have the same problem and am confident that I traced it to the shocks being worn out. The ride has gotten all weird and when I'm driving slow across a parking lot slowly it creeks and groans. It didn't help matters that a few years ago I was screwing around in a snowy parking lot and hit...

I usually average about 15 with a good mix of highway and back roads. Lately since my son was born though I've been trucking home late and have been getting about 13.5...but I'm movin' it too. So all in all I'm not doing too bad.

I just got Michelin's a few months ago and now I have a vibration between 70 and 80 MPH. I've just been too lazy to bother going bat to NTB to have them try rebalancing it. I didn't have the vibration until then though, so hopefully for you its just and unbalanced tire. Make sure you tell...

I call the exhaust on ricers car's "*** pipes" because it looks like they got it up the tail pipe and it sounds like it too. :D

Yeah so long as its functional it doesn't matter where it goes in my book. RX7's scoops weren't centered. I just HATE the fake scoops!! I was thinking of the same sorta thing....hmmm do I smell a possible group buy...ehh maybe not, probably be too much money for most.

Well, I know they have them at the Wal-Mart near me. That's where I got the set for '98 EB. Check out you local Salvo, Auto Zone, or whatever is near you. If they carry them but don't have yours chances are that they can order what you need. Good Luck. You'll deffinitely enjoy them I know I do!

My $.02 I have a '98 and was able to get a kit with all types of clips and fasteners that are for my truck. The problem is that you only get like a couple of each type, so if you need more you have to buy another kit. It was like $11 at the dealer. I think your dealer's parts guys are just...

Well, it does appear that it is delamination of the paint. At the body shop we went too the guy told us that it looks like paint delamination. So, the battle begins.

We're about an hour north of you...I think we may have figured it out though. Hail damage! I forgot totally that she said thet there was decent sized hail about a week and a half ago at her place and when we washed it, the dimples in the paint showed up. So she put in a claim and we're...

Ok I tried using the search and found something like this but the thread died last year....anyway, here goes. This past weekend my girlfriend and I were waxing her '99 Sport X and noticed A LOt of small circular cracking mostly on the hood, on the painted piece just above the hood, and on the...

Pshew!! That's a big boy!! Anyway, the Cooper has been owned by BMW for quite sometime now. According to some reviews I've read its frame is more rigid than a 3 series BMW and the gearshifter is just as good. I'm interested in it right now...of course I wouldn't be able to buy anything for...

WOO-HOOO Hey I'm interested..just let me know an exact location when the decision is made. My girlfriend might be interested too.

Mine is tinted over the factory smoke tint. I wanted them to make it 5% total but they put 5% on over the 35% to make 1.75% in the back behind the front windows and 35% on the front. It doesn't look quite right in certian light with the back being sooo dark, so when I get the money/off my ass...

Re: whatever... I'm planning on doing pretty much everything I can...eventually. Intake, chip, exhaust, heads (maybe) and a 'charger. Gotta do the suspension first though...need shocks.

Ok, call me gullible or dumb but I was talking to my mechanic a while back and asked him about adding power to my 5.0L X. He said that he didn't think that the front end would handle much more power reliably. So, I see here people have obviously added many HP to their AWD X's. My question is...

Yeah that's exactly where it is.

Yep its chrome. Wonder what it look like it I took it off, had it blasted and painted red to match?? hmmmm...ideas.

Do you mean the interior cleaner or the car wash?? I use the Armor All "Interior" and have never noticed any problems.

While washing my Explorer yesterday I noticed that the lower channel, above where the fog light air dam hooks to, was getting rather rusty, starting to creep up the sides. It had been just surface rust until a few months ago, now I notice that its getting a bit worse. Has anyone else...

Ok...ummm well that's quite large!! How much does it weigh??? Has to be close to 150 or more. Could just imagine that thing coming loose in an accident and decapitating the driver. 11 o'clock news report "Man decapitated by 32" speaker" :D yeah I'm sick but oh well.

Damn...that's the one weekend I've actually got plans. Oh well, maybe another time. But, I'm still interested if people want to do a get together and my girl friend is interested too. She's got a 99 Sport.

Where in Pa and when...I might be interested.

I'm new around here and would be interested in a little Explorer get-together. I live in northern Baltimore County.

Yeah and then plead temp. insanity since you were out of sorts by being woken up with the crap he was playing. :D

You could "etch" KNOCK IT OFF! In his car so he might get the idea.

Mine has been making a thump thump as I drive on uneven pavement like parking lots and stone drivways. Its really noticable around 10-20 mph. Can't tell what exactly is causing it but its driving me nuts!! :fire: I'm going to cahange out the shocks when I get the money and hopefully that's it.
