I could find room for a size 34 or 35. Since I'm not using a solenoid or electronic dual charger, the batteries don't have to match.

If you use epoxy its going to be nearly impossible to pull it next time you replace pump, RTV could be pried off, but I'd use a latex caulk that can be pulled off very easily.

Switch #2 and #1

You're right, 0 ga is overkill for ten feet, I'll use 4 ga. I think I'll go with second option because of inconvenience of first option where I have to find a restaurant where I can sit two hours and carry in the spare battery. Mounting another 65 battery in engine doesn't look feasable so...

I've read over a dozen posts for ideas for dual batteries, some going back over ten years. I'm looking at my options to install two batteries in my 2000 Explorer using two completely different ideas. In past few months I've had the battery drain too low from overnight charging my phones...

Hmm... Disturbing thread. I need to replace my OEM rear parking brake pads with OEM similar. Is this going to be an all day job?

My senior year in high school I drove a '48 Packard convertible.

Parallel parking fail. Living in a farming state, I got my license at 14-1/2. I think I was in 9th grade junior high school. Too young to drink or be drafted, but old enough to drive a massive farm combine on the highway. Now a days kids learn to drive playing Fast and Furious video games.

Partially pulled down one side of headliner from the rear. These steps might help anyone that wants to rooftop mount anything. Removed dome light, pushed fiberglass rode towards rear, hit a front support bar. Pulled the two plastic push screws and grabbed push rod through hole. Pulled...

Roll bar / lateral supports. I'll go to junk yard and slice open a headliner. With dust mask, safety glasses, and long sleeve shirt. Ha!

I mounting more antennas on my roof and route the coax cables to my dome light location, then have all my cables follow same route down the seatbelt pillar. The first antenna was mounted towards the front, but pushing a stiff fiberglass fishtape to the rear I hit a roll bar. I doubt I'll be able...

Older drills used brushes that spark. Everyone has gone to a brushless design for better efficiency.

Friend has 2000 4L SOHC Explorer, similar to mine (OHC). He had the pump replaced six months ago, but didn't put in new filter sock. The original symptom was once a week the engine would miss about half a second. I suggested replacing the pump. That fixed the problem. The problem came back...

Just In case my OEM key gets worn down and won't unlock. I can use my hidden spare copy key.

Fun fact... If you hold your factory key next to the lock, the RF chip will allow a standard key copy to start engine.

Same model - 2000 OHV XLS. Two hoses connect to a plastic box below battery. The box stubs may crack. I sawed one off a fitted a new hose on both.

That's what I did at 180K miles, plus the steering rack & pinion. I used my O'Reilly's First Call account and parts cost was around $800. Local shop helped me and charged $300. Local tire shop charged $50 for realignment using same computer jig as Firestone uses for $120.

Snow? HA! It was 86° in North Texas day before Christmas and predicted 88° this afternoon.

Some states may still have a law against leaving the key in ignition and engine running. Texas enacted such a law in early '70 that prohibited key left in ignition (but didn't specify engine still running). My college buddy had an old Buick with dash mounted key assy worn out and he used a...

Go with flat red primer - actually a brown color. It will hide the disk brake and shoe grunge.

Though it may not apply in this case, I just want to throw this out about O2 readings. P0170 - P0172, especially P0171 - System Too Lean. That would point to insufficient fuel feed but if you reword it, it can mean too much air feed. That would indicate a vacuum leak sucking in more air after...

There's a word for that ... Beta tester. Hah!

Then use a flush kit. Cut open the hose and splice in the flush kit
