I had to cut my fuel line on both ends to get my fuel filter out from under my 98. I put these quick release clips in both ends with this new kind of fuel line that will heat shrink around the quick release ends. I maybe spent $25 for a filter and the new ends.

did this the other day. saved me so much time. remember to replace the fuel filter when changing the pump.

it was the fuel pump. I did the hole idea. who ever thought of that was a genius.

Bought a fuel pressure gauge today. Its about 10 PSI lower then its suppose to be. Which means the pump isn't working properly. Also, turns out that the pump is sending air thru the lines. Most likely the check valve is bad. How hard it it to put a new pump in?

Sometimes it will start other times it will not. Just installed a new alternator because the volt regulator was bad but the car was doing this before i replaced it. Battery reads 12.50 volts. Checked the fuel relief valve and fuel shot out every time i checked it so the engine it getting fuel...

final update. my wiring was all messed up, even my ABS wiring, all because of that damn squirrel. he got into places i didnt know the wiring even went. all of the wiring harnesses had to be taken out and repaired. it literally took 4 years for the wiring to break down to the point that it need...

About 4 years ago I caught a squirrel chewing up my wiring. So every so often I find his handy work and have to fix it. I used a volt meter to test all the wiring. The O2 is receiving a signal and sending a signal. A mechanic friend said sometimes with this generation you can get the P0136...

Ok so my check engine light is on. Code P0136. O2 Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2. I've replaced it, fixed the wiring to it, and cleared the code but it keeps coming back. Thought it was the catalytic converter so I swapped the plug-ins around to check but no matter which O2 sensor its plugged into that...

ok so i was under the Exploder the other day and I think I found the problem. The connector to the O2 sensor that I replaced melted around the exhaust. So now I have to find new connectors. Do they make replacement connectors or do I have to solder each individual wire to the corresponding wire?

sorry i havent been up to date on this. I was consumed by finals and moving back home. I did enough repair to make it look fine for awhile but the rust is worse then I thought. It has just become to much. There is no way I would be able to repair it with my skills alone. I have loved my...

i hope its something easy like wiring or a leak. i really dont have the money for a new cat.

i know i didn't do that cause i had my mechanic, who takes care a fleet of explorers for my dad's company, pointed out which one to take out. Thats why I have no idea what's wrong.

So my check engine light has been on for about three years. I've been able to exempt the inspection because I drive only around my small town and to college which isn't a lot of miles. The code reads P0136 (O2 sensor circuit function Bank 1 Sensor 2). I've replaced the sensor twice and cleared...

Great mod. I actually noticed a small mpg gain since i dont have to jam my foot to the floor everything I'm on the highway. Thanks a lot.

So I had a pretty bad rust problem on the corner rear fender on the passenger side where the the fender and running board meet before winter. I thought I had it where it could last till the spring where I would have the time to go take care of it. But with all these crazy snow storms, driving...

damn...........................Great Truck!!!!!!!!!! You guys are doing an amazing job.

awesome idea.

Yes they do :D lol

So a few months back I was going to go buy a MAC exhaust system for my Exploder but then funds got super tight. Out of the blue I found this company called Exhaust Warehouse. sitehttp://www.exhaustwarehouse.com/ They sell every part you need to replace your whole system at a very inexpensive...

Its a truck. It says truck on my insurance card. I call mine The Exploder but she's a dirty girl cause it takes awhile for me to clean her when we play in the mud.

So my light has been on for alomst a year and I need to fix it before I get it inspected. The code said that it was the O2 sensor. Bank 1 sensor 2. I replaced it, cleared the code, and it still keeps coming on telling me that Bank 1 sensor 2 is bad. What it going on? Thanks for the help.

you beat it. If you don't change the price I'm going to probably buy it from you. Thanks a lot.

dont know what I'm going to do now. The prices just jumped $60+ more and $40+ for shipping. Thats making it cost way over $300. I dont have that kind of money nor do I want to spend that much.

If you're on this forum I would like to think you have some kind of clue on what your doing or extremely interested and willing to learn. However, there are somethings that we can't do or to afraid to tackle. We are all guilty of this in some form. There are many mechanic out there that do a...

Thanks guys. I'm going to try it myself. I'm pretty sure my ball joints and rod end are in great shape. If not I'll go to my mechanic. I highly suggest him. If your around the Pittsburgh area his place is called Lockhart Tire.
