I was old that hitting an ole' tire with a baseball bat will improve your kids hitting power. I suppose b/c it will strengthen the wrists and forearms. From the reading that I've done the best is a tire that moves not a stationary tire. The problem is, all the limbs in my yard are pretty...

1st problem: My dad has a 1994 f150 with the 5.0 v8. Whenever you crank it the rpms and the idle fluctuate up and down. It is a real pain when you are trying to get out of a parking spot b/c turning the wheels sharply makes it worse and it usually cuts off. It will even do it while in park...

Hello, I have a 12.5 HP B&S engine that was running a few years ago when I parked it. I took it off the mower but I think I turned the engine the wrong way and allowed gas to get into the crank case. I put the engine on my other mower and tried to crank it but it would not crank and was...

What happens to your Explorer when you turn the steering wheel back and forth and the engine is not running? A few months back I was having problems after I changed the fuel pump. I thought to myself, "How in the world did you mess up the steering/suspension from way back there at the fuel...

I have a 96 Explorer 2wd. I bought a new set of tires for it a little over a month ago. I tarveled 20 miles on I-85 and it rode just fine. Three weeks later I took the same route on I-85 and anytime I got over 60 or 65 the front end would feel unstable, as if it were shaking side to side. Since...

I was driving down I-85 yesterday and my 96 Explorer 2wd felt as if it was shaking left and right, with a little vibration. You have to get over 55 or 60. The faster you go, the worse it gets. Feels as if I might lose control. I was on I-85 last month and this wasn't going on. I checked...

I bought my 96 Explorer XLT 2years ago. I bought it for $3,500.00. I have had to replace alot of stuff. Mainly b/c I am very picky. Within the past 6 months I have replaced the starter, the fuel pump, the heater core just the other day. Now I see another problem! I have ALWAYS bragged on how...
