    130 watts

    PCM update

    Well I just call my ford dealer and said I wanted a PCM update, he told me it would cost $89 but I would be wasting my money if there was not anything to update. So he asked for my serial number and told me he would call back. When he did he said there was nothing to update, he said there was no...

    Headlights

    As we all know our low beam headlights are really crap. I'm using the sliverstar ultras which help but I wish they still were better. I was looking at my lights today and I was thinking that if the little dome reflector that's in front of the bulb was taken out maybe this may help. So my...

    I bought 4 new old tires for the X 265/75/16s. Two of them have 95% rubber left and two have 85%. My question is do the front or rears wear faster?

    Spare Tire 03

    I know this has been talked about a lot, but I can't find any info on an 03 explorer. I'm running 265/75/16 can I fit this size in the spare tire cavity? Would it be better to go with a 245/75/16 so it won't stick out as much (any pics from the back would be great). I know I can pull a wheel off...
