    Intake cover question

    ? I don't see the fuel rail covers, in yours thats what they look like from stock, just like mine... The fuel rail covers are about 4-5" wide with the same pattern as the intake plenum cover...

    hid kit with canbus ballast

    On newer vehicles the bulb out indicator is done through the system messaging. This is no BULB CHECK light itself, it just comes up on the messaging system. More than likey they all have this, you can check yourself just by removing the headlight assembly with those 3x 10mm bolts, and...

    hid kit with canbus ballast

    That procedure is for the older 95-96 models. The 2007+ models are totally different, I don't think this will work the same!

    Coming to a stop, I feel like I am bumped from behind

    As long as its the X3 3000 model or any model compatible that can hold custom tunes with the sport trac, and its been unlocked, he can tune it for you! The SCT livewire thou does not do the transmission tunes... SCT X3 3000 (Perfect!) SCT TSE (Perfect!) SCT iTSX Wireless (Perfect!) SCT...

    Don't forget to RESET your OIL LIFE!

    They should have had this mentioned in the manual! Alot of people do not know about this feature, smart on Ford, but for people who do not know, it kinda sucks when you need the power and aren't getting it and don't know why. I found out by racing my buddy home sometimes after work for fun...

    Don't forget to RESET your OIL LIFE!

    Press the menu button until it shows "System Check" and press the reset button to select it, and then it'll start out by telling you your oil life, at that point press and HOLD the reset button to reset the level. You can change the intervals at whcih point you want it to remind you as well in...

    Don't forget to RESET your OIL LIFE!

    You can customly change the "Change Oil Life" to come on at whatever intervals you want as a percentage remaining, being 100% = 10,000kms. So basically if you set it your oil life start level to 30% it'll remind you to change at 3000km, 50% for 5000km and 70% for 7000km, and so on. You do not...

    new here

    Check your fuel pressure, and your MAF & AIT sensors Are there any codes you can pull off? Also check your spark plug wires and coils, my neon had bad spark plug wires, I couldn't rev it pass 2500 rpm or go faster than 70Kph, engine started to hesistate, and of course check your spark plugs too!

    need help with squeaking nosie..

    Sounds definately like the belt! Either the belt is loose, tensioner is worn, or belt needs replacement. The signs are when you turn on your lights or any accesories, the batt meter drops because its taking more of a load causing the belt to slip and not spin fast enuf to produce enough current...

    Won't idle when cold... idk what to do

    "Plastic Intakes" have a huge advantage over metal/cast, smoother runners, runs cooler and lighter! You won't have to port and polish them!

    Won't idle when cold... idk what to do

    Check your air filter too, my wifes old pontiac when I first met her way back did the same thing, never idled until it was warm, then check the air filter and it was soo clogged, she had never changed the filter at all or ever! As soon as I removed it, the engine ran like new! Check your IAC...

    How to: Headrest Screen Install

    You could also get Rosen or Audiovox units that come as a WHOLE headrest with the screens pre-installed, just pop out your factory headrests and pop in the new ones and wire it up! Plus these units have built-in DVD players and Gaming on each unit, so you can literally watch different movies or...

    How to: Headrest Screen Install

    I do mine differently, I do it by hiding the FRAME underneath the Leather/Cloth, which also holds it in place without having any backing or plate needed to mount it too! I cut the hole a bit smaller than the actual unit, by cuting out in an X-Pattern, insert the frame inside, over lap the...

    Don't forget to RESET your OIL LIFE!

    Don't forget to reset your OIL LIFE, since when your OIL LIFE becomes less than 10%, it ALSO limits your POWER to about 75-80% and lowers your rev limiter to about 4500rpm!!! I know this because this had happened to me and as soon as I reset the OIL LIFE % it instantly got all the power back...

    Coming to a stop, I feel like I am bumped from behind

    Torrie from Unleashed Tuning did mine. Yes it was a BIG difference, like power on demand, you don't get that sluggish laggy take off, and the shifting is very noticeable, shifts hard between gears! Especially when you change it back to stock, it feels like a 4cyl! The factory setup limits...

    My photos/schematics/diagrams still available.

    I need the overhead console wiring diagram/pinout out of a 1998 explorer! NVM, I found it from the Overhead page link.... :P

    hid kit with canbus ballast

    Those canbus warning error correcting modules don't work. It just filters the flicker for the DRL (Daytime Running Lights), but does not correct the Error Check light Code. I had to add loading resistors 3-6 ohms 50W resistors across the factory load and that kept the "Check Bulb" errors from...

    5.0 Coyote Adrenalin engine swap

    Nice! Was wondering about the Coyote Swap into one of these!

    bull bar

    Since the bullbar mounts directly to the frame, I think since there should be no difference in frames between the normal and STA that it should mount the same way. You would only have to trim the front skirt for the plates to go thru, both STA and normal ST!

    Coming to a stop, I feel like I am bumped from behind

    Ever since I got my SCT Custom Engine and Transmission Tune, I don't think I have that bump anymore... or since it shifts so HARD now with the tune, the bump is merely noticeable now? LOL :P

    Front Bumper Swap!

    Thanks! I'm going to the wrecker tomorrow so I can pull one off... mostly because my original 95' bumper is all cracked and busted and some rust, since wanting to change it I might as well see if I can update the look a bit to the better looking 99 and up bumper! :D :navajo:
