So I recently bought a 2004 Ranger Edge with the 3.0L in it, and for the most part it runs beautifully. However, I keep getting p0304 (cylinder 4 misfire) and a p0316 (misfire detected on startup) codes along with a slightly rough idle. I was only getting the codes on hot startups, and...

I haven't been here in awhile since I got rid of my Explorer. I just bought a new truck this past week though, and I love it. It is a 2004 Ranger Edge, 4wd, with 31x10.5 Goodyear Wrangler Muds on 15 inch American Racing rims. Powered by the 3.0 V6 with the 5speed auto transmission. This one...

So I will be buying some new speakers for my car soon and need advice on what to get. I will go ahead and say this is not for an Explorer, it is for my Saturn that I now drive that replaced it. I'm not too keen on the stock speakers in this car, and want to upgrade. I am not currently nor...

Alright, this isn't for an Explorer, as I don't drive one anymore. This is for the car that replaced it, my 2001 Saturn SL (I know, lame). It is obvious the PO tried to do some paint work on it and failed miserably. The result is a giant cloudy spot in the middle of the hood. It looks...

My truck is now officially dead. Tried to fix the tranny problem with a new TC, didn't work. So now it's time to call it a goner and part it out. The truck doesn't engage in gear, and the transmission makes a nasty whirring/grinding noise. Thought it was the Torque Converter, replaced it, it...

So I was driving along today like normal, mid throttle, and my explorer goes to shift into third gear and something popped. I lost forward gear, so I coasted into a driveway. It went into reverse for a second or two, then nothing. This whole time it's making a nasty whirring noise. It makes...

Figured this was the best place to put this thread. I recently acquired some 1" ratchet straps from work that were going to be thrown out. Reason being the hooks on the end were cut off for some dumb reason, so as they stand now they aren't really usable. I figured I would take them and...

So I was out of gas today and went to put some in. I have been running on empty a couple of days, so I was cutting it kind of close. I put $15 in, about 5.5 gallons, and started on my way. That's where something strange happened. I started the truck, fuel gauge went from empty to as full...

This guy ranted about his wife (well, sort of wife) on an Acura forum and forgot to logout. She sees it, and hilarity ensues. Read post #1 and then post #44 http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=770786

So, I've been having this problem with voltage drop at idle for some time now. The starter, battery, alternator, and battery cables are all new. There is also an extra 4 guage wire running from the alternator to the solenoid on the fender where everything is else is connected. This problem...

I've been having a slight issue with voltage drop at idle. I've narrowed it down to an old alternator to solenoid wire. My problem is I can't find one to buy it. I've searched online at all the parts stores including RockAuto and Fast Parts Network to no avail. This is the main wire that...

So I recently have had this fascination with Classical music. Particularly the louder, more aggressive, and majestic kind. I enjoy the amazing range you get in Classical music, and the great feeling of power that comes from it. I also enjoy listening to pipe organ music for the same reasons...

So my dad is going to be looking into getting himself an SUV. He currently has a 1990 Full size GMC that he will be getting rid of soon. We no longer have the need for a full size truck all the time and it takes a lot of gas and has it's share of problems. Anyways, he is wanting a good...

Alright so I think my good old lifter tap is starting to worsen some. It used to mostly go away when warm. But it doesn't anymore. Still sounds like it always has, just doesn't go away. It doesn't sound like the rods are wearing away or anything yet, the sound always changes to the point it...

So I was looking at exhaust possibilities for my explorer and ran across this: http://summitracing.com/parts/WLK-17415/ That's right, Dynomax is having a $75 rebate on most of their exhaust systems. That one is only for first gens, but I looked and saw the rebate applies to systems for...

I just found this interesting, and some awesome stats in there for the computer nerds around this place: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=76191543919&ref=mf I've never even heard of a Peta byte referred to before. That's a lot of photos.

So my buddy has an '04 Ranger with the 4.0 and the 5-speed auto. I'm trying to figure out what transmission he has, he's having some shift flare and delayed reverse issues. I've looked and all I know is that it is either the 5r55e or 5r55w. I'm going to set him up with a shift kit and an EPC...

Alright, I'm really in a bind right now with what I want to do with my life and I need some advice to help point me in the right direction. First, some background on me. I'm 19, and in the middle of the second semester of my Freshman year of college, at Indiana University. I chose this...

So my brother is looking at buying this Jeep. 2000 Cherokee Classic to be exact. All stock as far as I know. Has the 4.0L, 4 speed OD auto, Select trac (2wd, AWD, 4wd, 4L). What does he need to look for? I didn't know if these things still had the CAD in 2000, but I mentioned it to him...

Ok, so due to problems I was having awhile ago, my explorer has basically a completely new charging system. It has new cables, a new alternator, and a new battery. For the most part everything works fine, always starts great, battery works just as it should. However, I have a problem with...

Oh man, just saw this on Pirate, a good laugh for anybody who hasn't seen this... http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=763645

So, I thought I would share a little information with you guys that I learned the hard way. Story goes like this: So a few months ago my starter quit working. Ok, so I rebuilt the starter with new brushes and cleaned the stator off some for a good contact surface. Slapped it back...

Has anyone swapped out a second gen full length console into a first gen? I looked around but couldn't find anything. I could use the extra storage space, want to know if this could be possible. I know there may have to be some mods to the dash right where it goes, but that's fine.
