    Write Up - Door won't unlock? Quick and Free Fix!!!

    I ran into this problem a little over month ago. I was leaving the gym and hit the button on the remote to unlock the doors, heard the normal clunking sound but when I pulled the door handle nothing happened! Driver's door was still locked! Hit the button a million more times and watched the...

    150,000 miles and counting...

    Just hit this on Thursday. I bought my Ex with just over 60k and I've put 90k on it myself in 6 1/2 years. I'm pretty impressed with how reliable it has been, it is my first Ford and I was never a Ford fan at all before I got it. I love my Ex and it may end up with another 150k on it before it's...

    Anyone running 265/75/16 tires without any type of lift???

    Hey everyone, I'm thinking about getting some new tires before the bad weather hits. I've decided if I do I'm going with a set of Hankook Dynapro Rf10's. My Ex came stock with 255/70/16's and I want to go a bit larger but don't want to lift it just yet since I run a set of 22's the rest of the...

    Red or Blue Orifice Tube???

    Hey guys, I'll be replacing my accumulator and orifice tube soon and have a question. Which color orifice tube do I need? I see that there are both red and blue ones. Is there any way to tell which one I need before pulling out the old one? My Ex is a 1998 XLT 5.0 by the way.....

    Anybody watch Trucks on SpikeTV??? 4.6 DOHC swap into an Ranger/B2500

    Did anybody watch Trucks on Spike TV today? They started a new project on a Mazda B2500 (Ranger) and are swapping the 2.5 4 cyl for a 4.6 DOHC from a Mercury Marauder. Looks real interesting, especially since it's been said so many times on here that it can't be done. What do you guys think?

    trailer hitch for a 98 Explorer

    Does anyone know if this trailer hitch fits Explorer models with a 16" spare? It's a U-haul model # 78166 and I could not find any info anywhere if it does or not so I was hoping if someone here has this model can they confirm if it will fit the 16" spare. Here's a link to the E-bay...

    Replacing O2 sensors for better gas mileage

    I was thinking about replacing the the 2 upstream oxygen sensors in my 1998 Explorer 5.0 which now has about 115k and from what I know it has the original O2 sensors (I bought it at 60k). During the winter I was consistently getting a P0153 code (slow O2 sensor response) which seems to have gone...

    Clarion PSWFSU powered sub

    Hey guys, I guess this sub isn't the greatest based on the comments I saw from a quick forum search but I won it cheap on Ebay and I am not looking for a huge system just a little added bass. The only problem is the seller didn't have the instructions to install it. It has not been shipped yet...
