    coolant missing

    coolant is not getting into oil, i think it may actually be the thermo housing, although i did run into another problem. when i degreased the engine and rinsed it off i had a hard time starting it. since my battery sucks i didnt worry about it and let it sit for a minute, started it again and...

    2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer Subwoofer questions.

    open the rear hatch, pull the top and bottom trims off, then you want to unbolt the third row seat belt, and both of the pillar trims. then unbolt the bottom seat belt mount for the 2nd row. there are two tabs on the seat bottom, push those to the side and pull the bottom cushion out. then...

    BWM Brown Wire Mod 3rd Gen

    no, i think the slightly larger tire goes in the back. the reason i say that is there are 3 speed sensors, 2 front and 1 back. if the front two tires are different sizes it would be worse than the back two. i also have not had any problems, with or without auto 4X4 engaged. then again i am...

    Stock Sub into aftermarket HU HELP!!

    or hardwire, use the connector with 3 wires for the sub, cant remember the colors, but you will need a resistor? i think or the sub will pop everytime you turn it on. run the new memory wire to the battery, and use a voltometer to find the power on lead, this allowed me to keep the radio on...

    New Alpine radio, now factory sub sounds bad

    splice the ends of a rca cable in to the trucks harness, and plug it into the sub out on the deck, mine sounds very good, but then again i cut the factory connections off and hard wired the deck. if you try to use a speaker out then yeah, it sounds like crap.

    coil spacers

    its seems to already have a tt done, i went out and measured, there is only about a a half an inch difference front to back. i am going to level it off but i dont expect a noticable difference only lifting the front a half inch. i guess i didn't research this enough before buying it. would...

    coil spacers

    i have read the threads, but it seems like everyone is always just arguing about whether a body lift would work or not. i did try searching, i just haven't found anything defintive for 02+ explorers. i guess i am just going to wait and do a custom 1" body lift when i get back to oregon, and...

    Who can "chirp" their wheels?

    my 98 used to burn the tires, even if you were rolling at 5 or 10, and i couldn't even think about accelerating going up into a parking garage. but it was two wheel drive. my 03 has the same motor and trans, v6, and 5spd auto, but wont even break free in the dirt. i want to figure out how...

    coil spacers

    has anyone thought about using a set of coil spacers? i was thinking about finding 1" spacers and getting 265/70R17 tires. i dont know much about the suspension on these rigs, but that combo should get 2 inches of lift, right? i was thinking that maybe coil spacers from a f150 or maybe a...
