    Diesel

    Here's my thought.... Has anyone swapped a diesel in their Explorer? Does anyone know of a motor/tranny that might work in an Explorer? what would a person need to do to swap from gas to diesel? I'm not 100% serious at this time, and with my limited automotive experiance I don't know...

    Upper Ball Joints / Control Arm

    I have replaced my Upper Passenger side before. Recently I was told my the friendly VA inspection folks :fire: that I need upper and lower. So I went to autozone and purchased upper and lower. I opened the one box which I was under the assumption that was the drivers side and installed...

    Fuel Injector leaking

    Just wondering if you can use silicone to stop an injector from leaking. The problem started when I had the cam-tensioner warrenty work done and I didn't realize it until after the warrenty for the work was out of date. I'm down to the injector now, but don't have another o-ring, don't know if...

    Roll Over Point

    How can you determine what is safe and what isn't safe when wheel'n. Currently people always laugh at me 'cause I freak out way too easy when I get on angles. The pics always make me think, "That wasn't too bad" but the fear of tip'n 'er over really worries me. I have had a wheel off the...

    What's the difference

    Normally this seems obvious to me but currently I'm stumped. I just got my roof rack basket and it's time for lights. So I start looking and can't belive the prices and price differences. For example, I know Wally World has all kind of "junk" lights for $30 or so. I know the 4X4 sites...

    Where do you get your parts from?

    Recently I was once again on a mission to replace something I broke. I thought long and hard and finally came up with the two websites that I used for my Ford Replacement Parts. For this particular case it seems FordParts.com is cheaper by $5.31 (shipping was NOT included in this estimate)...

    75w-140 differential Fluid

    What do I buy. It list this but the book also had a star. I think for the Limited Slip. Fleet Farm unfortuneately doesn't have or sell 75W-140. The closest is 85-140 pr 80-90 (I think) I would like to swap front/rear fluids this Friday when I'm doing several others things. Sorry for...

    The vedict is in Transfer Case needed

    I've been having problems with my 4WD for the past year. Finally it stopped shifting into LO and I heard 6 clicks shorty after starting it. I didn't get a CEL or the 4WD light flashing and my 4WD would work, but seem to slip or clunk under any torque. I read the post about cleaning the...

    Anyone know. After my work, the shop said I had 5% loss in 4 cyl and 7% in 2. What does this mean? What is the stock (ideal) compression? Thanks

    What is the 01M01?

    The 01M01 is a program, not a TSB(Trouble Service Bulliten). It extends the warrenty for up to November 2004 or 100,000 miles. This program covers the noise made from the timing chain hitting the chain guide. I just have this done and though I would share what this all included for me. I...

    33x12.5 in snow

    I just recently put my 33s on and we got about 4-6" of snow. Driving along lake Michigan we have a crazy cross wind which was blowing my truck all over the road. My buddy was driving his stock Alavanche and didn't say he had any problems. Is it the width of the tires that is affecting it...

    Stock Car Alarm

    I'm currently at work and getting plauged with people telling me my alarm is going off. I've been out there three times and it's been silent. I was parked in a snow bank (gotta test out the ability of the 33s and BL!:D) I now moved it to a level surface and manually locked my doors so the...

    Color Scheme

    Ok, I though this April Fools thing was finally over. I figured I'd start this in case someone was looking for new color scheme as it seems to change each time I post or look at a new thread.

    3" Body Lift and bigger

    How do you guys get into your truck? I just did the a 3"BL with 33s and it's a ways up there. Especially RICK. Do you need a ladder, special shoes, a ramp?:D hee hee hee. I couldn't imaging much bigger. Maybe I'll just get used to it.
