It's been awhile guys. So I always use synthetic oil and go about 5-6k miles between changes. Well about 4kish miles after my last change my engine starting ticking really loud. When I got home I checked and my oil was low. I bought new oil and a filter. I went to go take off the oil filter and...

Hello, so as the title says I am looking for someone in MA/NH area (I'm currently in Haverhill, MA) who has experience or can do the swap? Right now I am talking to Enhances Street Performance and have linked them to some V8 build threads here and discussed what I want out of this. I basically...

I cannot for the life of me get this to work without a server to connect to. I was hoping someone on here could either link me to the info or let me know. I just want to practice my database skills. I have searched the Internet and it only shows how to take a database offline, which I already...

I am hoping I get either the junior Database job, or helpdesk. I got the skills it just depends if I stand out enough... Downloaded SQL server management studio and python to practice more advanced stuff... With ITT Tech in my programming class the most advanced code we wrote was a class project...

I want to change my fluid in tranny to full synthetic. Do I need to flush out ALL the old fluid or will I be ok just putting a new filter in and gasket and adding what, 3 quarts I think it is? I always hear mixed thoughts about fluid flushes. I read if you don't normally get fluid flushed, you...

That is one unbelievably good looking ranger. Love the blue! Hope you win STOTM

Lucky sob's. I gotta take a $100.00 safety class, wait 90 days. By then I won't want to kill people... Ridiculous...

My rangers front brakes are the bigger rotors, as in HD option from factory and are much large then my front explorer brakes. Before I go and attempt suicide, can I swap rotors and caliper attachment brackets as a big disk upgrade? Or is this a completely stupid idea? What is braking, 60...

I have a new to me 1998 explorer 4.0 4wd I just recently acquired. When I come to a stop my brakes release making an almost mechanical arm noise and the squeeze back down, but they skip as they squeeze down. My brake pedal also goes down some when it releases pressure. I go about 5 additional...

So I got an explorer so I could take my wife, son, and soon to be born daughter places after my rangers tranny went. It has 118,7xx miles on it now, I paid $2,200.00 for it. Previous owner flashed the check engine light; so I thought there were no problems. Turns out p0304(misfire cyl 4) was a...

I got spark plugs at autozone today and the guy gave me ones for a 1998 explorer with an OHV engine, but I have a SOHC engine. Does anyone know if these will still work for gap size and all? If any confusion, I have a 1998 sohc explorer I just bought. I'm gonna change oil, spark plugs/wires...

I seen a really nice explorer sport with 74k miles and I test drove it. It drove really nice besides a squeak from front suspension which is either a ball joint or shock I assume. It does have a water damage title from 2005. Besides not having a good title all electrical works without a problem...

I've had a grinding transmission for about 10k miles now. It would grind at low speeds if I gave it too much power. I learned to drive it nicely. Recently, well yesterday while I was doing laundry; the tranny kind of gave out in a way. I now have to go so light on the pedal, I almost have to...

I replaced my upper control arm and my ride is sooo much softer. But now it pulls to the left pretty hard if I let go of steering wheel. I'm wondering if by me tightening the balljoints in with wheel turned could of caused this? I of course had to turn steering wheel to take some bolts off. Or...

I was changing my upper control arms and the bolt that holds it to the mount had the metal brake line off first bracket in the way. I tried to be careful and not bend it too much toget bolt out but I guess it was too old and got a break in it somewhere. I hit pedal and it pisses brake fluid. So...
