Hey guys, its been a while, but i'm back! With the cape run, I will need a beach permit, correct? Where do i pick one up?

Anyone up for some 4 wheeling in the next three weeks in the MA/NH area? I'm pretty novice, and don't know any of the trails in NH. I could use a guide.

After the rains up here, my truck started to develope a sqeeking while the truck is rolling. It sounds a bit like brake squeel, but does it all the time (except when the brake is applied heavilly, then the sound disappears). I suspect this is a wheel bearing problem. Is this usially a wear issue...

I saw this on e-bay... wondering if anyone else knew of it. Won't help me much as I have an OHV. You SOHC guys might be in luck though. Seems a little more thought out then the Tom Knight M62 based deal. Sigh... I REALLY want an Eaton SC under the hood.

I have the late OHV6 (1998). I understand there were two after market cams available at one point for this engine. One was a mid-level upgrade designed for the stock system which delivered about a 20HP boost. The second was designed for a supercharger, but made a normally aspired engine idle...

I would like to get better tracktion for my rear axle. I have an open diffy right now. I was thinking about an Eaton Electro-locker, but they wre pricey. Is it worth the dough?

I finally put on my Hella FF75s. I bought two sets for the roof rack. I know many of you arn't thrilled about the stock rack. I swapped my 98 rack rails for a 99-01. These are all metal, and have a open area above the thumb screw. These have slide on guides, so when the screw is tightened, they...

My brake lights arn't working. I replaced the fuse and the bulbs... no go. The center lights is also not working. I broght it into ford, who said it was due to some aftermarket lights i'm using. These lights are run off a relay thats attached to the foglamp assembilly. These work fine. Ford...

I am trying to get my truck ready for inspection and noticed my brakelights are not working. Replaced bulbs... nothing, so checked the fusebox. Well I don't have my manual anymore so I pulled each one individually, somewhere along the way I lost track which fuses go where. Does anyone have a...

My mother's 96 has had no AC for a few years. It gradually faded out about 3 years ago. I figured it was low on refrigerant so I bought a can of refrigerant and a can of sealent. The only problem is that the refill nozzle apears to be the hi pressure end... it runs at about 120 psi. I can not...

I'm adding another 1/2" in the rear with the short AAL by Explorer Pro-Comp following the directions in the usefull thread tutorial. Should I be using locking nuts for the new center bolt? The thread makes no mention of it either way. I'm also adding a few new lights while i'm at it...

I am trying to build a model of a 98-01 Explorer from scratch. I need to locate scale dawings to do this. Does anyone know where to find them?

I'm getting an AAL to go with my shakles. The shakles raised the rear to about 1/2" above origonal factory (they were sagging pretty bad). I plan on getting about another 1-1.5" from the AAL. Will i need to get a longer sway bar? I figure i should do this the same time i put in the AAL. I...

I will finally be out of school for a few months. Anyone interested in a new england explorer run in late april to mid may?

Has anyone tried the Eaton M62 SC adapter by Thomas Knight? I know this was talked about a while back. I'm about ready to lay down the change for it, i'm wondering what experience others had with it. I'm running the latest ALD4 tranny, i belive this is also use in the SOHC V6 so i'm not that...

Do all engine mods that produce more power reduce gas milage? I am planing on getting that eaton supercharger adapter/kit next year after the truck is paid off. My milage is about 13-15 mpg right now, and i don't want to get any worse. I do need the extra power though. I was figuring on...

Does anyone know how good these are? are they cheap bulbs or are they as good as the phillips bulbs? these will be going on Hella 35W 85V ballasts http://www.directimportstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=46&osCsid=c5d406993049669642b688732536a94e

I finally met someone who knew a bit about late model Ford factory radios. As many of you are aware, I am one of the numberous people that had a problem with the premium head unit sold in the 98+ Ford explorers. Here is what I found. This product came in 4 versions. The problem versions were...

I talked to Rancho yesterday and they said they had nothing for a lifted explorer. I'm running about 1.7" up front and 2-3" in the rear. Anyone know of any shock that can handle the extra height? this is for my 98.

I noticed recently that one of my HID lights has gone purple. Not just a little purple, we are talking Barney here. The otherone remains its stock bluish tint. I checked the harness and all contacts for corosion or a bad connection and found nothing. Is this normal? Does this mean the light is...

My truck is at 86000 miles with a rebuilt tranny at 56000. I plan on getting some rebuild parts for the truck while i have some extra money. Obviously that eaton M62 charger and adapter are at the top of my list. The eaton M62 thread talks about an internal after-market shift kit. Who makes...

Am i correct in asuming the 95+ factory fog harness was designed for 50W, even though they only run 37W stock? I am upgrading my lights soon and want to put Hella 550 Amber fogs in. These run 55W a peice. I also have my aux driving lights' relay on this circut. I'm pretty sure it takes very...

Ladies and gentalmen, it has been a long time coming. My Sport has finally been lifted: 2" rear, 1.7" up front. This morning I got my mudders. These are 32x10" Bridgstone Dueler MTs. As of right now, I DO plan on keeping the valence. It looks good and even with it i still have about 18" of...

Not sure where to put this, as its not really computer related. I'm looking for engineering or CAD drawings of the 95-01 explorer and explorer sport exteriors. I plan on using these to help make a model of the vehicle using rapid prototyping. anyone know where i can find them?
