My Explorer gave her life for me on 11/1/13. I was traveling 60 mph on Brownfield Hwy in Lubbock, TX when a Buick Verano failed to yield to oncoming traffic and pulled in front of me. I didn't have time to react or even tense up before broadsiding the Buick on its passenger side. The lady who...

I finally decided I needed to give my 01 a break from constant DD duty, so I found myself a nice 2010 XLT to take over. Rides very good and is in good shape. Only thing is that the mileage is awful compared to the 01's V8. I call her... Black Betty Specs as purchased: 2010 Ford Explorer XLT-...

So I'm in the midst of a cruise control upgrade from 2nd Gen controls to 3rd Gen media controls (yes, I already have a 3rd gen steering wheel and the necessary clockspring) I already had the button's resistors changed to match the ones in the second gens but I can't get them to run the cruise...

Got a 01 Ex V8 with the 4R70W. Has 145,000 miles on it. I picked it up two weeks ago, checked all the fluids and found it a quart low on tranny fluid. Filled it up before I left the dealer and all was fine. Got the 3-4 shudder twice in the last week (wasn't very hard), decided to do a pan drop/...

Seeing as I've owned this car for two weeks now I guess I should make a registry for it. Went to Pollard Friendly Ford in Lubbock, TX with the intentions of putting a down payment on a 2007 Ex V6 4X4. I was literally heading into the office to sign on it when I spotted this green gem sitting to...

1998 OHV V6, MY DD! Okay I pulled my oil pan to replace the gasket and the old gasket left alot of the rubber behind and I scraped it clean.But as I go to put the new one on, I find that the rubber tab on the rear passenger side of the old gasket had broken off flush with the metal. It acts...

So today I scored this beauty from a couple at a garage sale... FOR $30! I offered more because I felt I was scamming them, but they said no. So far it works great for pulling DTC codes, which alone would cover the $30 dollars, but who is the best custom tuner for 2nd Gens? -Will

So last Tuesday, I broke down and bought what I thought was going to be a donor for making Wendy, my 98 XLT, a 4x4. That pretty much ended when the owner gave me a clear Texas title for this X, with no history of accidents on it. I've decided to rebuild this 99 XLT that came with one door and...

I'm doing an EATC swap into my 1998 XLT using parts from a 1998 Limited. I got everything hooked up, but it only blows air in full blast mode, no matter what mode I am in. What was supposed to do with the RD/OR wire? At the fan controller I just left it not hooked up... what should I hook it...

So one day, way back in 2009, I went out for a run. Being 15 and all, I had about one thing on my mind: I wanted a car. Fords were quite popular in my family, especially Explorers (92 XLT, 95 XLT, and an 02 XLS), so naturally I felt the connection when I saw Wendy sitting in front of a house...

So I noticed that my windshield wipers keep missing a spot in the center of the winshield, just below the mirror. So I replaced them, but it still misses that same spot! I looked at the windshield and realized there is a dent in the center of it. It just slops inward! No crack or chip, just a...

Okay so I'm planning 5.0 swap this summer and I was looking up 4R70W rebuild kits when I came across Ford's new 6R80, the 6-speed auto tranny bolted to the 2011 5.0 Mustangs. Does anyone know if this transmission will bolt up to the older Explorer 5.0s? And might there be a stand-alone tranny...

I was researching some things and I decided that I wanted to buy a new throttle body. I read that a larger ones for the 4.6L mustangs work great on Xs. But when I started looking around for one, I came across this: Its the stock throttle body for the 4.6L Cobra and I think they are both 62 or...

First and foremost, the only thing that I know about the exhaust system on my vehicle is that it is restrictive from what I hear. And I also understand that if you can make it less restrictive, your mpg will increase. So, I was wondering if it is possible to just cut the exhaust line that comes...

So I now have 2002 XLS and I was wondering what kind of upgrades I could do it? I already upgraded the radio from the stock AM/FM/Single Disc with "World Plugs" to an AM/FM/Tape/CD/Aux with the "Phase 2 Plugs" And I have searched and searched and come up with zilch... 1.) I picked up the...
