    Indash tv shopping...

    I'm bored with my current tv/iPod setup, and looking to get something that is compatible to play videos off my iPod. I'd like to get a Pioneer or Alpine, but any other options that WILL play videos off the iPod and not just the songs, post up and let me know. Thanks - Beau

    Speakers popping..

    I've had the same speaker setup in my truck for 3 months now (all Infinity door speakers), and now all of the sudden when I cut the igntion off, I'm getting this loud ass pop out of all four door speakers. The grounds are fine and nothing has changed. Any ideas?

    A Few Wire Questions (Pioneer guys come in..)

    I've got a Pioneer AVH-5700DVD I'm installing this week, and have a few questions about the stock wire. Before you even tell me to, since this is a dvd/navigation unit, there ARE NOT any ready made adapters in which I don't have to cut/splice wire. 1) What color(s) is the Ford factory ACC...

    Anyone have a CD-Ib100?

    I'm about to buy a CD-Ib100 and wanted opinions on it. I've heard it sucks with ALL other Pioneer players except the AVH-P5700DVD, which is the only one they made with a iPod interface so far. If you've got both the 5700 and cd-ib100, even better. Just wanted some opinions before I spend 100...

    Fan Removal

    I'm taking my Flex a lite fan off and putting my stock fan on my truck because I'm trading it in this weekend. I didn't remove the fan myself when I did the supercharger install because I had problems and was pissed off so I didn't even watch. I know I need a special Ford fan wrench to remove...

    Bleeding brakes every other day!!!

    I replaced my master cylinder last weekend thinking it was my problem to the "hard braking". It was, but only for a few days after I put on the new master cylinder and bled them a few times. Now, when I bleed them the brakes feel fine. But when I get back in to drive later, they are hard...

    Master Cylinder Woes

    I put new brake pads on 2 weeks ago, front and back, and now I have to press the pedal so hard to stop. Bled them twice, still nothing. I don't like to mess with more than pad on the brakes, so I took it to Just Brakes and the guys said the master cylinder was going bad. Now, correct me if...

    Caliper play?

    This afternoon, I put new rear brake pads on. No biggie, done it twice before. Took about 30 mins. Well a few hours later I go to my gf's house, and we go get something to eat. A mile down the road, I smell the brakes. I look in the mirror and I've got smoke coming from the pass. side rear...

    Leather Cleaner for DIRTY leather?

    At my old job, I used to get pretty dirty and never really paid attention to how dirty it was getting my grey leather seats. So I put a seat cover on the driver side only but it was too late. Now it pretty bad, and I'm thinking of selling my Explorer so I want to get them clean. I searched...

    02 Sport White Face Gauge Question?

    I've had a instrument cluster for a while but I'm waiting to get my odometer turned and white gear indicator before I installed it. Question is, does anyone have the part number for the white gear indicator? I think Aldive may have done this, but I'm not sure. Second, is it just an overlay...

    iPod problem

    Recently I started having this problem with my iPod. I put it on shuffle, listen to it, then turn it off when I get out. But when I turn it back on sometimes, it won't go back through the menus and will only go forward/backward through the shuffled song list. The only way to back to the menu...

    Fan Shroud

    Since my old Flex-A-Lite fan went through my hood and ate up my shroud, I took it off. I went from a 16.5" fan to and 18" Flex-A-Lite. The older fan keeps it way cooler than stock, and the newer one is better. I've heard alot of people say it won't cool right without it and other say it...

    Gear Change Question

    To start, I searched but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I've got 3.55s Open now, and just bought an Auburn LS and about to buy 4.10s. I'm not going for top speed at the drag strip since I don't plan on doing over 135. I've searched for gear calculators to find out what the...

    Charging problem

    I've got a problems with my alternator charging my battery. When I crank it up, it's almost half on the gauge. Then I drive around for a minute and it starts to drop. It's keeping a charge, it's just like it's having a problem. The alternator is not even a year old and the battery was...

    Hole in my Hood >=(

    So I'm riding down the road and the next thing I know I hear a BOOM! Much like a tire blow out, which I thought it was and would rather it be. I pull over to my dad's which was right down the road, only to get out and see a HUGE gash in my hood. My Flex-a-lite fan blade came off, I've got no...

    Limited Slip questions

    I've got a 2000 XLT AWD w/ 3:55 gears. I took my front driveshaft off earlier only to realize it's open, not limited slip like I thought. My question is how do I figure out what spline axles I have and how much would it could to get a limited slip put in? - Beau

    I'm planning on putting on my FMS headers on next weekend but I'm having doubts about the EGR. Mine plugs in the pass. side near the firewall and the FMS ones EGR bung is in the middle of the header. So it's going to be A LOT of bending and it's probaby gonna break. My question is what is...

    Belt slipping bad

    The belt on my supercharger is slipping horribly. I tightened the hell out of the tensioner and once I hit about 6 lbs. of boost it slips bad and I loose the boost. I'm pretty sure it's not my main belt, but if it was would this make me loose the boost? I've also heard of racers putting...

    351m ?

    351w ? My dad's friend (racer) has an old 351W engine in his shop and since he is about to move, he wants to sell it. He hasn't given a price yet, but I have a few questions first. I know the bottom halves of the 351W/C are the same as the 302, but what about the deck height/width? I've seen...

    Powerdyne rebuild?

    My bearings in my S/C finally went out (after 3 weeks of SCREAMING like a twin-screw supercharger) tonite. I just bought a rebuild kit with bearings and a belt. How long is it gonna take it to replace the bearings and belt? I don't HAVE to replace the belt, but if I'm getting one that's...
