    '01 V8 EB bogging at WOT

    I'm cross posting this into the stock forum... Maybe nix the one in the modified forum? Everything is stock... Sorry! Ok, so anyway, one of the guys that works at the place next door came over because he saw my Explorer in the parking lot. He's having a hard time trying to figure this out...

    '01 EB Ex V8 bogging at full throttle

    Ok, so one of the guys that works at the place next door came over because he saw my Explorer in the parking lot. He's having a hard time trying to figure this out. He recently replaced his upper intake after cracking it (with a new stock one) when trying to tighten down the coil pack bracket...

    Current events

    Hi all, Just checking in to say hi, discuss what's up... I've been off the forum for a while, as well as all but one other forum while trying to reorganize my priorities. I've always put the important things first, but also always lapsed into the familiar when I felt somewhat like I've done...

    Swap ECU's?

    So my speedo is off, as is the odometer due to my tire swap from the stock 15's to 16's. I know that I can take the truck in and have the thing reprogrammed for the new tires, but I can probably get an ECU/GEM from a 2000 V8 Limited at the yard for a lot less $$. Since the V8 Limited has the...

    Why MFT stinks

    It's Consumer Reports, so of course it's a junk review, but still good toilet reading. http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2012/08/why-the-myford-touch-control-system-stinks.html

    Husqvarna/Redmax backpack blower

    ...and I'm going to invest in a backpack leaf blower. I'm considering the Husqvarna 150BT. Anyone have experience with one? I'm fairly sure that it's a Redmax EBZ5150 blower, and Redmax is a killer unit, so I'm pretty comfortable with this rebrand... Thoughts?

    Joe Dirt's Stock V8 economy findings thread

    Ok, just to introduce some food for thought. I have recently purchased the OBD bluetooth dongle and Torque for my Android. I have been driving with it for about a week now, and have made some interesting observations which some go contrary to my past thoughts. The overall readings are still...

    Solving the kidneybuster ride

    I'm tossing this in here since it's technically a stock question. If it fits better in suspension tech, maybe it can make it's way over there... Ok, so anyway- since Deuce may soon be turning into a daily driver, I have to fix this ride. I know the Superlift shocks don't help, but honestly-...

    Stupid heat shield...

    So somewhere on the highway I lost the heat shield that goes on the bend / pre-cat pipe and the oil pan. Am I asking for trouble if I don't fab one up to replace it? Yes, I know they put it there for a reason... :D

    Droid Razr

    Anyone have any new opinions? Replacing the Blackberry and moving to Verizon, so probably looking at a Moto Droid Razr. Anyone have one that can provide some insight? No, I don't want an iPhone. :)

    New Van Halen

    So after too many years, Diamond Dave is recording with VH again in case you didn't know. Album soon, tour announced. Not sure yet, need to hear more. Just doesn't sound the same without Michael Anthony doing backing vocals. Wolfgang plays good Bass, but the vocals just aren't the same. :(...

    The Oreo Thread...

    Is nothing sacred anymore?

    I thought for a second- hmmm, that's not a bad id... then I had a Lewis Black moment. Are we really to this point? Carve-able foam pumpkins? Really?
