So, I have not been an active member of this forum in some time...however there was a time when I was on here frequently, helping, learning, and coming up with new and crazy ideas for my 98 xlt....However Saturday it met it's maker. I was rear-ended while stopped at a stoplight by a Lexus...

It's been a while since I've posted anything good on here and after thumbing through a few recent questions about ignition and what parts to use and why I thought I'd take a step back and truly explain ignition. After understanding it you can be able to choose for yourself what parts will work...

Ok, I've posted many how to threads on here before, and this time I need some suggestions from you guys. Right now I have a 98 explorer with stock suspension. I have rear spring sag in the rear, and it sits an inch or so lower in the rear. Because of me being in tech school my budget is a little...

Thanks to MustangP51's LED threads I've gathered enough courage to attempt to make my own LED Underbody kit after I blew a neon tube. LED's are much brighter, require less power, and are virtually indestructable. I've only fabricated the two sides, but I have them installed and wired, and as...

I was on the internet this morning and ran across this site.....take a look

Ok, I've had a thread on here forever about when my truck was backed into/side swiped. Long story short it was totaled, insurance didn't cover, I was 17 (only 18 now) and hadn't done any bodywork at all. I put a fender on it; followed by a door. I then decided to repair my rusted doglegs, at...

Just thought I'd see how everyone else keeps their truck clean in the winter months.....Do you wash it yourself, or take it to the local car wash?

I woke up to a big bang bang when one of my buddies backed into my truck this morning. Pictures can be found on page 4 HERE. I'll post more when it gets fixed

I had a belt chirp about 6 months ago, due to a bad belt tensioner. I replaced the tensioner, and put a new Gates belt on it. Before I installed the new belt I was wiping down all of the pulleys and realized that my power steering pulley (not just the pulley but the pulley AND shaft) move in and...

Does anyone know if I can get a kit with the fuel lines that run down the left side of the frame? From the fuel filter back on my truck is heavily rusted.

Ok, well here lately I've been hearing a somewhat loud clunk while driving my truck. And right as I started to hear a noise, my buddy heard one about the same on his 2wd ranger. He diagnosed and replaced his rear u-joint. Two days after he replaced his u-joints I put my truck up on the lift at...

I have a 1998 Explorer XLT, with the 4.0 ohv motor in it. It was running cool and wouldn't seem to warm up. I replaced the thermostat today and, well that's when the fun started. I filled it up and tested the coolant at -60 degrees F and let all the air purge from the system. It was running...

I have a 98 explorer and I just recently noticed that the key didn't work on the rear hatch. It unlocks all the doors, and it goes in the keyhole.....but it won't turn, it pushes in, but doesn't unlock. If the truck is already unlocked both the hatch and glass both open fine, but they won't...

My brake warning lamp on my cluster hasn't worked for a while. I would set my parking brake and it wouldn't come on. Every once in a while (once every couple of months) it will come on upon start, and won't go off until I depress the emergency brake pedal and release it. The pedal was never...

I have a '98 XLT with a 4.0 ohv engine in it. About 140,000 miles on it now. Runs great, have been replacing everything, but lately the trans will shift hard every once in a while. I was thinking about flushing the tranny, but it is kinda dirty and smells burnt. I want to flush it but not...
