    Part number for tail pipe hanger bracket?

    Thanks for that link, MrSticker. I was considering that as a solution. Looks like I will move forward with that.

    Part number for tail pipe hanger bracket?

    The hanger on the tail pipe rusted off this week, so that will need to be replaced, but the support bracket attached to the frame is in pretty bad shape too. I have not had any luck finding the part number for that bracket, though I realize I might be stuck with a junkyard part anyway. Any...

    2004 EB new head unit

    No, you can help me with this since you have the factory DVD. Once the wiring leaves the factory DVD, where does it go above the headliner? To the driver's side, or the passenger side? Does it connect somewhere under the dash to a secondary harness?

    2004 EB new head unit

    Since you have a 2004 with the 6-cd changer and the factory DVD player - can you tell me where the wiring from the dvd player is routed? I have the same setup, but mine was bought used with an aftermarket DVD player. I'm trying to understand how to properly interface an aux/dvd into the...

    Rear A/C quick fix?

    It is possible to replace either of these modules without removing the trim panel. That's how I did it at least. I didn't bother to put all the screws back, but I was able to get them all out with a small rachet. Just pull out that tray on top and and reach down in there.

    Exhaust flange studs / nuts

    Hi gang, Wifey complained that the car was suddenly louder (only when I asked her how her car was running, of course). Sure enough there is a leak at the exhaust flange just upstream of the muffler. It was 11 pm, but from what I could tell, there are no exhaust flange bolts at that...

    Cruise control switch

    So I have a few bad controls on the steering wheel switch in my 04 EB - Volume down, coast, cruise control off, radio mode and memory. I'm assuming it's the switch itself (SW-6003), but of course I'm open to other suggestions. I peaked under the steering wheel cover and can see the switch...

    Buying A 2003 EB

    That's exactly when you SHOULDN"T buy a car, if you don't absolutely have to. That clouds your judgement and prevents you from getting your best deal. There are other cars out there - always tell yourself "I don't need to buy a car today." If you can pit a couple of dealers against one...

    Buying A 2003 EB

    For what it's worth, I just got a 62k miles (100k) 2004 Exp EB 5.4L with lots of bells and whistles and in pretty good shape for $12k US. You have a long list of items you know are a problem, and it has a lot of kms on it. I would keep your options open. You could stand to do a lot better...

    Noob question regarding oil/trans leaks

    Well, even though no one gave a hoot to comment on the previous post, I thought I would give an update on the resolution. Turns out the previous owner had the torque converter replaced, and whoever did the work did not put a vent tube on. Dealership charged me just $250 for repair. That's...

    Door Lock Code

    I just had to do this myself. In order to get in the right position, I had to hold on to the "Jesus" handle above the door, then lower myself so my back was on the floor and my head in the leg space in front of the passenger side. I thought it was towards the top and front of the fusebox, but...

    Noob question regarding oil/trans leaks

    Just picked up a 2004 5.4L 4WD Eddie Bauer with ~63k for the wifey. It matched my '94 Explorer EB, and it was a good deal ($12k + tax,tags), but of course the dealer hid the leaks well. Thanks to all of you on the forum as I used the posted tips on things to look for when buying. I already...
