So a friend of mine has a 95 explorer with the OHV. Sometimes the explorer won't start and she was telling me she needed a new battery. Well, as soon as I took a look at it and realized women simplify things a little bit I checked out a few things. The explorer sputters a tad bit while starting...

Well the transmission in my explorer finally went. The reverse went out of it in a parking garage one day. I drove 100 miles back to my hometown and took it to the Ford dealership who told me it was the transmission that needed to be replaced and would cost about $2200 to fix. We figured out...

After a year of college I think it is time to do something drastic to cleanup the carpet to look like it did before. What is everyone's best advice of what to use? Do rugdoctors work well on truck carpet? I've used spot shot alot and some of the foam applicators but they're not potent enough....

Well it all started when one day it was hard to open the door from the outside on the passenger side. After a while the inside door latch was a pain to pull to get the door open. I took apart the door panel and decided that the outside door latch was pop riveted on and the springs looked to be...

For a couple more months than need be my CEL has been on. I ran my Laptop Diag from OBD-2.com and code P0141 came up. After then checking each individual sensor for a reading using the software I found that OS12 which I assume means bank 1 sensor 2 , had a reading way below the others @ .03v (...

Well after my 1600 mile road trip I believe my lower ball joints have had it. Squeaking sound coming from front end when turning or bouncing front end. A hollow clunk sound is heard wheneve I hit a pothole as well. While I change these, and hopefully these are what to be changed I need to change...

Well, I've been FORD person ever since my dad got a 91 Explorer EB. Though I did drive a S-10 Xtreme for a year or two I've convinced myself against all odds of friends and family that Ford does rule. You know you're a true for lover when you watch Bill Ford's commercial and you want to salute...

I got my set of Xenon fender flares (polyurethane) and my friend is going to get them painted at the Ford dealership he works at. They quoted him 2.5hrs labor @ $40and hour. They say they prep it,spray it, and then bake it at 98F no humidity. Is this an ok deal or should I look to paint them...

On truckperformance.com today it seems all of there exhaust kits are on sale for $0.00. Maybe they'll honor it once they find out.

I had a thought about my 98XLT. What if I were to put coilovers in the shockmounts and remove leaf springs by replacing them with traction bars. It seem like it theoretically should work.....

After browsing the ranger station for a while I ran across this company that puts together kits for 91-94 Explorers for Baja racing it seems. Not sure if anyone has seen this yet...I thought it was top notch Baja Explorer

It all started when I ordered a set of Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares for my 98XLT. After waiting two weeks I get a package for 1982-1988 ranger flares and it seems bushwacker screwed up and sent me the wrong item. When I call Truckperformance.com back they call bushwacker and find out they...

Well "The General" (98XLT) has a problem. It seems the front diff has a leak and I was quoted $500 to fix it. It is a slow leak, maybe one or two drips a day but I think I might be able to disable control-trac and that might help a bit(for a while anyhow). I would imagine when it pulses power to...

Ok, Well I looked, and found my yellow wire on my GEM (torque-on demand wire) and cut it and ran wires up to the front. The problem is the 4x4 still engages when the wire is open. Another thing is my keypad doesn't recognize my code anymore. I'm guessing I cut the wrong wire? I have a 98 so I...

~THE GENERAL~ After alot of planning, saving , and waiting I finally have purchased my new setup: BFG AT 31's and MT Classic II. It looks great on my rig and I have gotten alot of compliments. One big prob is they do rub on the wheel wells when you turn the tires almost all the way...

Wow, So many thoughts about whether or not I should do the torsion twist and shackles on my X so I can make room for 31BFG's and MT Classic 2's. My first concern is power, with this new setup I'm sure to loose power, but how much is the question, I have the SOHC. If I were to chip it and add...

Well, I love my 98XLT SOHC Explorer I just purchased. Only one major problem, the ride? The history of this vehicle is that it was a leased car in Chicago(bad roads) and with only 45,000 it rides pretty rough. Ruts and cracks in the road sorta of have a jolting effect and sound. I took my X into...

Dang, I'm so confused. I really want an Explorer but all I can read is people complaining about this and that going wrong. Also, I hear alot of praising of Jeeps and this is heartbreaking becuase I really wanted to get away from the thought of them. Everyone at my schoo has one and strive to be...

Found a immaculant 98' Explorer XLT , Black,45k just off lease. Looks like it has new tires and the underbody is like brand new, not typical of midwestern cars. Price is 13,500.

I'm lookin for ideas of moddin a 97XLT and I would like to see as many X's as I can for ideas, besides we all know you want to show off your X. So post those pictures ppl

I've stumbled upon the explorer I want, A 1997 Blue XLT with 80,000 miles for 11,500. I'm lookin to put a 2" lift on it and 31's , does anyone have picks of the mickey thompson classic II's on their explorer? Also are they a good choice, or are the eagle 589's better?
