I have a 2001 Explorer Sport with about 43K miles and still have the original tires-255/70/16 Goodyear APs. The tires visually do not look like they are worn or need to be replaced. Still a lot of tread-nowhere even close to the wear bar. The shoulders are somewhat rounded compared to the spare...

I would imagine that my 2001 Explorer Sport doesn't have the towing capacity to car my BMW (about 3200 lbs). What do I need to do or what do I need to beef up the vehicle so I can safely tow it? I want to hit VIR and some other tracks further from MD, but don't want to end up stranded if...

Ok, this happened on Sunday when we were getting hit with the nasty-ass blizzard in MD. I was coming back from Columbia and was driving on Rt 29 towards Ellicott City (at this point, I should've been off the road-MD was in a state of emergency and no one should've been on the roads). At this...

I was under the impression that Diablo was a separate manufacterer, but when I see posts on the Apten chip, I see mentioned "Apten Diablo" chips. Are they the same?

How often should I change the tranny fluid on my Explorer Sport (5 speed auto). Someone was telling me that i should do it every 15K miles since the tranny is kind of a weak spot in the truck. Should I change to synthetics? Its still under warranty and I do not want to void it or blow it up...

Is this easy to do? What needs to be done? Just take apart the armrest and yank the radio connections? I am going to be driving down to NC and I know my back seat passengers are going to be annoying and screw around with the radio in the back seat. :mad: Why couldn't Ford have made a...

Not looking to totally mod out my Explorer, but I want to get a little more oomph out of the SOHC 4.0. What is the single best thing to do? Chip? intake? exhaust? I've cruised onto various sites, and never see any applications for the 2001.

I have a 2001 Explorer Sport and my "check gage" light keeps going off. The culprit is my oil pressure gage is all the way down and after it warms up, it goes to operating levels. What could be causing the drop in oil pressure? Also, if I have the truck in neutral or park, and I rev the...

Anyone put those new Bullitt rims on their Explorer? I love the way they look and I think they would look great with the gray panels on my 2001 Sport. Is there anything I need to do to ensure a good fit? Do I need spacers? I currently have stock 16" rims-I plan on just doing a plus 1...

Hi everyone! I am a new Explorer Sport owner (2001 Premium Sport, Toreador Red, all the goodies but leather and moonroof) and I LOVE it!!! I hardly ever drive my BMW anymore. But every car I have ever owned I have modified and so I have started my quest for more power. I think the SOHC 4.0...
