I think I have finally narrowed down the faint knock to it being the rod bearings. I will be bringing it into the shop tomorrow to have them replaced but my MAIN concern is... The knock is not loud at all. It's barely there when it's cold and when it's hot it sounds like someone is tapping on a...

To make a long story short, I had to have my timing chain tensioner replaced, it was literally "broken." Well they got the tensioner on, put the engine back together and didn't set the timing. The idiots thought oh things just need to break in so they let it run for ATLEAST a half hour OFF...

It is aftermarket... Look where the switch is... Look at the interior light. ;)

Thanks for the help!!! In that case, I have one for sale in great shape!!!!

I was able to get my hands on a fairly decent hitch from a 2002 Sport Trac but I have a 2001 Explorer XLT and was trying to put it on today and noticed it was right up against my rear bumper and it was about an inch to an inch and a half away from my rear shackle. Is this hitch mean't only...

I hope this thing hurry's up and gets here already!!!

How much quicker are the shifts in your opinion? My boss's powerstroke shifts so fast it's almost instant and I want my shifts to be pretty much equal to that.

One more question though. Am I actually going to feel the difference? Is it going to gain power or is the driveability just going to be better?

I just order my SCT XCAL3 from James Henson and henson performance. Has anyone delt with him before? Am I in good hands, I'm not going to get screwed over right? Thanks for the help! -Matt

I have some new shots of my Explorer, I need to get some during the day which I might do tomorrow at work. [:)] Here are pics from tonight... Here are my lights that I piss people off with when they don't turn their high beams off. [:D]

Damn that pretty good... LOL

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like it and I use it for whats it was built for so it works for ME.

Yes BFG All Terrains and I had the bumper made for me. Anyone need one, I can reccomend a place that does awesome work as you can see.

It's not much but it's a work in progress but I'm doing my best. After a night of racing, she's a torquey little girl... :D Some action shots when she was near stock... As of today, intake, exhaust, TT, 2" rear shackles, 31's, tint, custom pre-runner bumper, Bilstein...

Well it was kind of bitter sweet. Most know of the Dixon bros racing pre-runner bumper but I didn't feel like spending that much and I didn't want to travel 4 hours to get it. So I asked Preston's to make me one and he told me 450. I thought that was a good deal until he told me that it only...

Preston's might do low riders but I don't know. They really deal with a lot of lifted trucks. They just do a lot of custom work. The top bar doesn't get in the way. It's real close but out of the headlights beam. :)

Ever here of Preston's?

My New Bumper * * *(updated pics)* * * It was fabbed at a shop that has done some nice work for the company I work for. Anyways, the skidplate is coming, it just has to be made.

That bumper would be PERFECT because I did just buy new lights so that would be perfect however, the price is a tad steep but I could manage but if I could find one like that, that might be a bit cheaper than that would be great too.

My 01 XLT was backed into and I am going to have it estimated tomorrow. There's definately more damage than meets the eye so I am gonna try and point all this out but nevertheless whether I use ins money or my money I need a new front bumper... ideas other than stock? Thanks for the help.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Ford guy but they are known for their transmissions being their weak spots. Well, I think I'm gonna be having more serious problems here soon if I don't get this resolved. My trans is starting to shift a little funky as in, if I goose it and it kicks down to passing...

But what part of So Cal? I'm in the San Diego area. San Carlos area... By Cowles mountain. :)

Are there actually many so cal guys here on this site? It seems that there aren't many Explorer freaks in San Diego atleast that I noticed. If there is post up!!!:D I'm in with the Focus crowd and know quite a few people in that crowd but I have another vehicle I'm building now, gotta get...

Ok, the person I bought my truck from was the one and only owner and he knows my truck very well, so when I turned my tortions up, he offered to do it so I let him, he cranked them all the way up. Now, I have heard many different things and was they aren't supposed to be turned all the way up...

Ok, I introduced myself a while ago but I'm still really new to the whole Explorer scene so I have some stupid questions, my apologies in advance if this isn't in the correct section. I have a set of 31's on my Explorer and my torsion's turned up a bit. I want to have a mild to moderate lift...

I will have an 01 Explorer sitting in my driveway tomorrow night and want new shocks for it before I get the lift kit. What shocks do you guy reccomend? I don't want to spend a ton ocnsidering I will be lifting it soon. I don't know if there's a shock out there that may give a small lift, I...

Alright, I don't have the Explorer yet but I'll be buying my Explorer by the end of May. I now drive a 2006 Focus ST, it destroy's just about everything in it's path including WRX's, and just about every Toyota, Honda, Nissan. I know just about every performance options and world in the...
