I've been looking into picking up a set a Powerslot rotors and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the cryogenically treated version of these rotors? It's about $20 extra per rotor to get the cryo-treated rotors. I have no problem spending the extra money now if it will pay off in...

Hey guys. I'm helping my dad fix his '97 Mercury Sable (3.0L DOHC engine) but we're both kind of stumped. The CEL is on and when I pulled the codes they were P0171 (Bank 1 Lean), P0174 (Bank 2 Lean), and P0300 (Random misfire). The car is hard to start and when idling for a couple of minutes...

Hi all, quick question. I was just curious when it is necessary to put in a high output alternator? I have a 500 watt RMS amp powering two 12" subs which according to my math should draw about 60 amps. The alternator in my Yukon just died and the regular replacement is a 105 amp alternator...

This question is not related to the Explorer, it's actually for a Yukon but it's more of a general audio question. I have heard differing opinions regarding speaker shape and size. I have heard that round speakers are clearer, but oval ones are typically louder. I have also heard that with a...

OK, long story short I was replacing my U-joints and in a stupid move managed to break the lip off that holds the clip which holds the U-joints in place. This is on the flange on the front of the rear driveshaft, which bolts up to the transfer case. So I'm looking to replace this flange...

I searched but didn't find the answers I was looking for so here it goes. I have a '92 EX that currently has a stock exhaust set up. Well the from the muffler back has been replaced but with stockish parts and 2.25" tubing. I was thinking about cutting out the muffler and replacing it with a...

Thanks for your purchase. Great buyer, made the transaction very easy. Prompt payment. I would not hesitate to sell to him again. :thumbsup: Thanks. -James

I realize that tow hooks have been discussed a million times but I didn't find much information on what I am trying to do. I want to add some tow hooks to the front of my '92. The problem is I don't want to remove the air dam. I realize I will have to notch it out but I want to keep this to a...

I just wanted to share my first serious wheeling experience with my Ex. Thankfully this doesn't belong in the Whoops! forum. I had taken the Ex on the beach once or twice before but that beach was basically just a dirt access road that a FWD compact probably could have made it through. So...

Today when I was driving home the charging system light on the dash came on for about a minute and then went off. The car starts and runs fine and I didn't notice any problems while the light was on. I wish I would have checked the voltmeter while the light was on but the light was only on for...

I installed a '99 rear end in my '92 Ex recently. The rear end is a limited slip with 3.73 gears and 25k miles. Before I installed it I drained and refilled it with Mobil 1 75w 140 oil and did not add friction modifier because I was under the impression that the Mobil 1 already had it. Now...

I just swapped a '99 rear end into my '92. Everything except the parking brake is installed and working perfectly. I can't figure out how to hook up the parking brake cables. I checked the two write ups and they were a big help but don't really specify much about the parking brakes. I was...

A few thousand miles ago the heat shields around the cats started to make noise because some of the welds broke. Well rather than get them welded back on I pulled one of the shields off completely and the other one fell off on the road. Looking back it probably wasn't the best idea to pull it...

Lately the power steering on my 92 Ex has developed a moderate leak. I tried a bottle of Lucas which slowed the leak but didn't fix it. So it looks like I am going to have to repair this leak. Well it looks like the fluid is leaking at the spline right where the pitman arm attaches to the...

I just installed an auxiliary transmission filter with a temperature gauge. I installed the filter and sender after the fluid comes from the radiator but before my 2 coolers. Is this an OK placement for the temp sender? I installed the gauge to keep an eye on temps when towing. But now I'm...

I wasn't sure if this should be posted in the modified section, if so please feel free to move it. Well right now I have a 92 Ex with 3.27 gears and average around 16 mpg mixed driving. I am planning on swapping in 3.73 gears for better towing and drivability(sp?). I was wondering how much...

I have a 92 XLT 4x4 with 3.27 gears. I am looking to upgrade to 3.73 gears for towing purposes. I am hoping to do this very cheaply, like under $500. Is this even possible? If I can't do it that cheap then I won't bother and will just suffer with this gearing. My X has 157K miles already...

Quick question, I have a 92 XLT with 3.27 open gears and I plan on changing the gear oil in both ends (4x4) to a full synthetic. The shop manual calls for 75w 140. I was thinking Mobil 1 but that oil is about $16 a quart so it will cost like $80 for the oil. The Autozone that I went to also...

Hi everyone sorry I've been asking so many questions lately. Well anyway my 92 X has always ran great but I have always had a problem with the dreaded pinging. Right now I have the octane shorting block out which helped the pinging but didn't eliminate it. I have always suspected that the...

I have a 92 X and the gas gauge hasn't worked since I bought it. I am pretty sure that the float is leaking because it always reads empty but the gauge does move when I turn the key off. Well as far as I know the fuel pump is original so when I drop the tank next weekend I am just going to...

I tried doing a search but couldn't find a solid answer. I have a 92 X with 157,000 miles. Tonight I plan on seafoaming the engine through the brake booster to remove carbon buildup. I was wondering if it is a good idea to put some in the oil as well? I can't find a definitive answer so...

Hello everyone new member here. I have a '92 XLT and when I measured from the ground to the wheel well it seems that the rear sags about 1" lower than the front. So I would like to do an aal or F150 leaf swap to eliminate this sag and to help eliminate body roll. I also do some towing with...
