    Oil filter leak

    When I start my truck (96 explorer xlt with the 4.0) it leaks oil like crazy. I went to tighten the oil filter and it was tight but the filter and the bracket that it gets screwed onto moved. It seems like the bolt that hold the bracket on might be loose? Mind you it's 6 degrees out and with the...

    Screech on start up

    When I start up my truck (happens with both remote start and key start) there is a very loud screeching coming from the belt I'm assuming. It only happens for a quick second and only on startup no matter if the engines hot or cold. I just replaced the belt a few months ago and it stopped for...

    Death wobble

    This morning driving to work I was going 45-50ish and switched lanes and right as I did I got a pretty heavy wobble in my steering wheel. It was enough that I had to slow down to control the steering wheel. Once I picked up again and got back up to that speed it was fine. I just put on a set of...

    Trimming to fit tires

    I recently bought a set of terra grapplers from a friend so I bought some wheels for them and when I put them on my truck I wasn't able to turn the steering wheel all the way. I would have to trim some of the bottom of the fender to make them fit. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions...

    Front shock suggestions

    I'm in desperate need of front shocks mine are pretty much non existent. Any suggestions on front shocks? I just installed the Monroe load adjusting shocks in the rear about a month ago and they're great. I'm running a tt and shackles and considering doing a 3" body lift within the next few months.

    Towing

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a good trailer hitch for a 96 XLT 4.0 that's not too pricey? I'd be pulling most likely a tilt trailer (I don't have a trailer yet) with up to 2 quads and a dirtbike on it for about 45 minutes each way to a riding spot.

    DRL, tail lights and dash lights not working

    So I turned my headlights on before and noticed that my dash lights didn't turn on. Then I got out and realized that my day time running lights, tail lights and license plate lights were also not on, only the headlights were on. Any one have any ideas on what could be wrong? I checked the fuse...

    295 70r17

    So I just found a set of nitto terra grapplers on Craigslist for $100. The tread isn't perfect but for $100 I couldn't pass them up. They're 295 70r17 and I was just wondering if anyone has/is running these on their second gen. And I also have no idea what size rims I should be looking for...

    Sagging rear end

    My 96 XLT 4.0 was sagging pretty bad in the read and espically the drivers side (the drivers side sits almost 3" Lower than the passenger side) so I bought brand new leaf springs and when I just installed them and re measured the ride height it was exactly the same as before I put the new...
