Is that grill from a BII?

Thanks! Unfortunately I am in the process of selling it, but I needed to get a pickup truck and if I keep the Explorer I'd have 4 cars and that's just too many vehicles in the driveway! :-)

Well said! Ed

nice! Hey man, nice job on that thing! Ed

Kind of what I was expecting to hear :-) Thanks for the responses! Ed

Yeah, I didn't think they were cost effective... but I wonder if they actually work... like if the science behind them is any good. Ed

Anyone hear of this? http://bioperformancesolutions.com/ This legit? Ed

Any threads here that deal with that procedure that you know of off hand? Or will my Haynes manual probably cover that well enough? Never messed with u-joints before :-) Ed

I still have no answer. I bought an 01 Maxima as a daily driver and just started a new job so I haven't had a chance to due further troubleshooting. How would I check the U-joints? Ed

Yeah, one of the shields is actually loose, but the sound is much different that that sound (which I know well). This sound is coming from closer towards the front and is a "thicker" sound... meaning it feels like a heafty metallic clanking rather than the chattering of thin sheet metal...

I have some new info that perhaps could spark something.... I discovered that the metallic clanking noise goes away if I am turning to the left and is worse when turning to the right. It doesn't seem to be related to the compression of the front shocks or springs because the sound is still...

Someone at work suggested a loose emergency brake cable. I haven't had a chance to physically get under there and check it but I tried applying the e-brake as I was hearing the noise and it didn't stop it. Anyway, any other ideas on this.... I am starting to worry that my tranny is going to...

Doesn't sound quite the same... with my sound there is no connection to the engine speed or even the speed of the truck down the road. Once I'm warmed up I can hear it clanging as much from going over the bump in my driveway as hitting a pothole at 55. Thanks! Ed

I just started hearing this strange "chattering" from right under the center hump. I have an auto transmission. Here are the symptoms: 1. The noise is related to movement of the truck, not related to engine RPM. 2. The noise begins shortly after driving cold... it gets louder as the...

Ok, it turns out it was NOT the water pump leaking after all! I also replaced the thermostat at the same time and apparently when I put the housing back on, the themostat fell slightly out of its spot and the seal got caught when I cranked it back down... which sliced a piece of it right off...

I had an auto-hub do that on me. Sounded just like you described. Ed

That's what I was thinking too... but I still have hope for the same reason it may have leaked. I did crank the bolts down a little more right after I tested it and haven't started it since.... so I'm hoping that may have closed the holes since the RTV wasn't set. I'll fire her up in the...

I just spent the day installing a new water pump. I removed the old one, cleaned the surface well... scraped off the old gasket and such. I got Blue RTV and applied a thin layer to the new pump, put the gasket on and put another layer on the gasket (engine side). I then got it on and...

That sounds pretty good... where did you get that one? Thanks! Ed

Nice! I like those wheels... what brand are they? Ed

I would think Mexico would be even less prepared for a hit like this than anywhere in the US.... if it has to hit land, let's just hope it hits the least populated area possible... period. Ed

I agree that it was probably a mistake to be there in the first place... but Americans don't give up their land so easily... even to Mother Nature. I think if they want to still live there and take that chance... I understand. I think with the right plan, the area can be pretty safe. Once...

Hey, that's nice! That's an unusual color for a sport isn't it? Is that custom? You have a link with all your specs somewhere? (EDIT: oops, I see the link) Ed

I don't have the original leafs anymore, but even if I did I wonder if the result would be a sagging rear? I've seen the SOA done on many 5.5" lifts and the rear always looks a bit low.... add a little more hight with the 6" and I would imagine things get a little low back there. I'm just...

I thought about eventually going up to 6" with my lift since the Skyjacker kit will do that. The only problem I thought of is that I don't think I would be able to continue using the Skyjacker leafs in the rear because doing an SOA with them will give me more than 2" more lift. So besides...
