When checking the tranny fluid drip out of the trans pan hole, should the vehical be running in Park, Neutral or drive??

NOT TRUE! It's all about tooth count. Thats why there are so many different gear ratios out there. And, even if you didn't have teeth to count then to change ratios the toothless input shaft and the outer ring gears size would have to be changed. An 8.8 is aprox. 8.8 inch ring gear. With that...

Thanks for the help! Both lower Joints are now replaced. I ended up having to use a little heat to persuade the separation from the steering knuckle, but it all worked out .

I have search the the forums to find a thread on replacing the lower front ball joint on the 3rd gen explorer but could only find one by MountaineerGreen on the 2nd gen. They appear to be similar save for the difference from one being bars and the mine being coils. Any he:exp:lp would be...

That red flashing light is part of Ford's security system. It lets you know its working or the would be thieves that the vehicle is so equipped with said system. Your key has a security chip in it. If that chip goes bad and the light is flashing the vehicle wont start. I have seen the opposite...

Changing gears is something that one needs to look at carefully. What you may be hoping for just might not happen. If you put high gears (numerical lower) in, you add stress to the tranny and t-case. It's like pulling a trailer. The extra load on the drive train may cost you gas mileage. Going...

My 03 x drives fine in auto mode. But when I put it in 4low (and it goes into 4low just fine) it makes a grinding howl of a noise while driving. Hard to describe, but not the normal whine that you might expect in 4low. Oh and in 4high it makes high pitch pinging sound when even in a slight turn...

I never thought the Gell Cells would be worth the money untill this happened to me. I alson never thought about a booster pack being used on my own vehical. (I almost always have cables). Now I'm seeing this more clearly.

Battery isolators can be set up in diferent ways. Here is a link to what JC Whitney has on them. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=battery+isolator

The dual battery set up is used all the time in pick-ups. I agree, once you find the spot to put the battery then get yourself a battery isolator kit and wire it up.

I'm in. I would be more than willing to share some tips and a trail ride.

I think that next time (if I have the $) I will buy an Optima battery!

OK thanks.

The battery wasn't really $975 the the driver coming out was $975. The driver accually claimed he was thoughing the battery in for free.

I had concidered AAA but had a friend that needed a tow off road and he was told they wouldn't pay for anything not on paved road. Is he wrong?

Went for a little trip not long ago, to a place called Hole in the Rock. A stones through to the north of Lake Powel and 57 miles of the most washed board road I've ever seen, south from Escalantie UT. Took 3 hours to get there. I pull up to look at an historical marker, shut the exploder off...

Hello from Utah (No I don't have horns and I don't have a dozzen wives). But I did recently buy a gen 3 exploder. The ***p that I wanted would have cost me 5 grand more for the same year and milage. So now it's it's a ford dominated household hear. I also have a Bll Bronco. I am glad I found...
