Hey guys I got an Apten chip a while ago, burned for MKK2. It wouldnt start, probably because the EEC had been reflashed. Where can I get the code checked (for relatively cheap)? I'm sure the dealership could do it, but would they charge me an arm and a leg to do it? How about something like a...

Heh heh , this was in the current issue of Grassroots Motorsports..... "According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Safety Administration, American Products Company (APC) has paid a $650,000 civil penalty as a result of it's manufacture, certification, and sale of...

Ok, so I got my Apten chip 2 months ago. I was out of town when it arrived, so couldnt put it on immediately. Then, when I was available to put it in, my tranny started acting up, so I waited to get that ironed out so the dealership wouldnt pitch a fit. Tranny still isnt fixed, but I cant wait...

I'm developing a strange goo of sorts on the front drivers side brake caliper, and it's spreading to the entire front drivers suspension (control arm, etc). It's a very thick substance, yellow-brown in color- looks like a heavy-duty grease, like axle grease or something. I know its building up...

I encountered the 1st gen. X with a claimed 260 hp. Needless to say, I was quite interested, and asked him what he had done- he gave me the old "i'm not gonna say b/c i'm a dork look" and just smiled. I began to think b.s. and told him to open the hood. I see a completely stock engine- not even...

Is an alignment necessary after swapping out the shocks and/or swaybars? I was initally going to lower it and get it aligned, and later add the EE swaybars and Edelbrock shocks, but then thought the shocks/swaybar replacement could mess up the alignment that was done after the lowering...

Well I got the X back from the shop after having the rear axle and rear differential replaced. On my way home, i make a quick exit out of a parking lot on to the street, and what do i feel but the rear inside tire spinning.... before the replacement, i had the stock 3.73 LS diff, and would...

Ok guys, now that winter has descended on atlanta, my engine seems to be running very cool....very cool. The temperature gauge rarely even gets into the indicating arc thing...usually rests between the C and the beginning of the arc, even after hard driving...redline shifts every time. One day...

I was checking around for the best prices on Cobras, and found www.buyfordmotorsport.com They have '98 Cobra rims (17x8) for $109 ea. and '95 (17x9 $149 ea. 17x 8 $159 ea.) Anbody know the difference between the 95s and 98s? They looked the same on the website. Also, anybody know why the '95...

I'm thinking about a chip as my next mod, and was wondering if you put in a new chip, will that affect a dealer's ability to service the car? not like regular tune-ups but, since my tranny had been dying lately, i've had a new one put in...would a chip affect a service like that? i know its been...

Put the KKM intake on a coupla weeks ago (runs great) but at WOT in second gear around 3200-3500 RPM, there's about a 500 RPM drop (really noticeable in engine tone and on tach.) Anybody know why this is happening? I dont remember it happening before the intake but maybe it did and i just never...

Finally got enough money saved for some truly gorgeous Cobras...now where to buy? I'm thinking e-bay but the shipping costs frighten me, and if something is wrong it could cause more headaches than its really worth...So, where did you guys get your Cobras, and how did it work out?

anybody know how much (if any) the factory ride heights varied from 95-97 to 98 on? also, anyone know if limiteds have a lower stock height than xlts, etc. maybe its just me but limiteds look lower...

I'm very close to getting the KKM Tru-Rev Intake. I know it works great (from what I've heard), but I also plan on adding an EE MAS eventually. Anybody know if it will fit on the EE MAS? I'm sure I can ask KKM but I figured I'd throw it out to you guys to get some feedback.

On the inside of the hood there is a black fiberglass/paper feeling thing- is this just a sound insulator? heat absorbant? anybody see any negative effects by removing it? and another question to test everyone's invaluable wealth of knowledge:) I am getting ready to paint my mirror...

I was just checking out the Saleen body kits for the X and saw that Saleen's rear spoiler only fits 98-01, but most of the other parts (front fascia, etc.) fit 96 and up. Anyone see a reason why the spoiler won't fit a 96? And speaking of Saleen, anybody know if there's a spot other than the...

Hey. There's an auction on e-bay for "sound storm" 5x7s and 6x8s. I was wondering if anybody had heard of SS and if they are decent speakers or not? Are the front door speakers 6x8s and the back 5x7s? Thanks.

Hey everybody. Anybody know how far the Saleen X is lowered? I'm thinking it's around 1 3/8", but i want to be sure.

It might soon be time to get a new SUV, but have no fear, my current X now becomes a full-time project truck. I was just curious about what you guys thought about the potential of a sport truck in the new X or the escape. I see much more potential in the escape, but just wondering what john...

Do would a fiberglass Ranger hood fit an X?

Whats the easiest ay to shed some weight from our beast-of-a-machine? Anybody know of fiber-glass hoods or aluminum deiveshafts?

I got a cheap way to get some power. Go to Pep Boys and buy some STP Fuel Injector cleaner. If unless you've got a new truck or new injectors, this helps TONS. I got a '96, so I'm guessing the injectors were pretty messy. I put about 3 bottles in and it now it runs much smoother (better idiling...

Got kinda a basic question here. When you lower an Explorer, what are the blocks for? How much are they? Are they required? I was thinking about lowering around 1 3/8" (without EE kit). To lower, are just the blocks and new u-bolts required? Thanks for the help.

Are there any safety issuses when lowering via torsion bar bolts? I don't want to sound like a pansy but i would rather prefer to not have my whole suspension come apart while going 80 mph. Any info would be apperciated.
