I have a blown 2003 in the driveway. Explorer Express kit, closing inn on 172K. No issues except belt, tensioner and idler pulleys every 35K or so.

You should be able to "flip" your 2' drop mount and it will be flat of a small rise. You just have to unbolt the ball and nut and reverse them. Had to do it so my jet ski trailer would sit level as the tounge was high. Hope that helps! Bryan

x2 on checking the hoses to the sensor.

FWIW, OE brand parts are typically built by aftermarket companies anyway. Bosch and Wagner are OE brake suppliers. In my experience bang for your buck is often better with aftermarket, premium brands.

Marvin, I'd highly recommend an aftermarket radio (Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, etc) over any type of used OEM unit. A new radio can give you CD, MP3, Bluetooth, Navigation or any combination thereof for not a lot of money. Do some research, but Crutchfield.com is a great starting spot.

Go to your parts store. Motormite makes them.

Idler Pulley? Tensioner? The belt tensioner should be replaced with the belt but is often overlooked.

These are sold. Thanks for everyone's interest.

Ken, Sorry forgot the useful info. They are off of an '03, so Gen 1 style brackets. $20 + shipping?

Gauging interest here. I replaced my rusty factory step bars and have the OE brackets is anyone is interested. I just want to cover shipping cost and a couple bucks for my effort. Located in Southern Maine, 04005.

Hey everyone. I just relocated home to New England from Iowa. Somewhere in New York I lost a center cap. Anyone one have one for sale? $30+ on ebay seemed a bit high. There's a pic in my library, but it doesn't seem to be pulling through to the post. [Broken External Image]:

RE: seat heaters. I too find the driver side to be a bit cooler than passenger. My theory is that the driver side is used more often and therefore runs cooler. As I don't keep the heaters on for more than 10 minutes, I haven't dug any further. I wouldn't suspect a fuse. It it's...

The shorter SilverStar life is a matter of physics... To burn brighter, the filaments are designed to burn hotter and that shortens life. The back of the packages make note of the shorter life on the comparison chart. Back to the original question, x2 on bulb replacement.

FYI, I had a very similar issue and the sensor corrected it. There are two sensors that are similar, but clocked differently. I ran into this with the local parts store. The guys found me one on application and it was black. I went to plug it in to discover that the square corner of...

Any parts store should be able to get a brake caliper slide bolt for you. Most should have it in stock.

I believe Sylvania is running a rebate on their bulbs until the end of November....

Brake noise can come from anywhere there is vibration or binding. Inspect the caliper slides to ensure they are moving freely and replace the rubber boots if brittle or cracked. Check out the pad hardware (abutment and retaining clips). These will loose 70% of their tensile strength within 24...

Roy, Does the dash indicator light up when you attempt to engage cruise control? The cable sometimes comes disconnected at the throttle body. The system will turn on (dash indicator lit) but the cruise won't catch. Hope this helps!

Checking out the parts houses websites, looks like two versions. One with just an outlet on sender, the other has outlet and return. I suspect Job1/Job2 versions? One manufacturer shows the return system for any model made after 4/23/01. Make sure to replace the strainer and filter...

You can get a cam, check out the link below. However, that will require their heads too.... I have one of the Explorer Express kits and it adds some pep. (It was installed on the truck when I bought it.) It will push five pounds of boost, but I've never put it on a dyno. There are...
