    Mechanic broke spark plug!

    this guy is jerking you around, MAKE him fix that truck...its his fault. I dont care if those plugs were cemented in there. It was his job to get them out and replace them...he failed and is now trying to give you the run around cause he may have ruined your motor.

    Looking for a Blue-Ray player. Which one?

    i would have to say if you want blue ray, just get the PS3. For the price you get the DVD player and a gaming system.

    is this gonna be a problem

    my plan is to sometime soon get a set of 31's. Am I gonna have any trouble with the 31's and a 3.27 ls rear?? I know that generally you should have a little better gearing but Im not gonna be doing any offroading, the bigger tire is gonna be more for looks than function.

    damn tranny!

    ok i did the whole process today. I only had to add 3 quarts though to refill to normal level. I know that i would have to do a full flush to get more of the crap fluid out, but 3 quarts doesnt seem like much....is that normal? I let it drip for a while too, at least 45 minutes. Either way my...

    damn tranny!

    damn tranny!

    yeah i checked after a parkway ride to my mothers. The truck was running, in park, and the fluid was hot. And the fluid level was what i said. About 2 inches above where it should be on the stick. I just really hope that changing the fluid and bringing it to normal capacity is gona fix this...

    B&M trick shift fluid

    anyone use this stuff in tranny. Is there anything that would benefit from it being a stock transmission. Im gonna change the fluid and filter and was just wondering is it worth the extra $$$. If its not worth it is there any fluids out there that are better than others, or maybe sythentic...

    axle/leaf location = lift??

    yes i did confuse myself when i was typing..lol. But I'll do some more searching because 6 inches is a lot more than what i want. I really only want to do about 2-3 all around. And i dont wanna burn a hole in the wallet either. btw thanks for the pics

    axle/leaf location = lift??

    was talking to a co-worker the other day who had in the past owned a 1st gen explorer with a lift. He told me that he had switched the axle from under the leafs to above the leafs, and this gave him almost a 3 inch lift. Is this something that people do for a cheap lift? I would normally...
