Re: Off Roading With 1990 Xplorer ~ Any Experience With This?
Blocks in rear, new longer springs up front. You'll probably need to cut your fenders for any significant increase in tire size. After jumping through hoops and $, you'll gain a minor amount of clearance under your differential and the ass-end will likely drag on steeps (although a airbag kit maxed out will help). Aside form the comments/suggestions above, your best bet is aggressive tires, take it slowwww, a second pair of eyes over sketchy terrain, and governor on your willingness to stubbornly forge ahead.146Views0likes0CommentsRe: Something drawing on my battery
If your house/coach battery is hooked up to the alternator to charge while driving, the isolator (hopefully there is one) between the two could be malfunctioning, therefore not isolating any drain coming from the house battery. Batteries will try to equalize. I doubt your house/coach battery disconnect seperates this connection. I wouldn't want to use a battery disconnect swich on the engine battery. Aside from losing radio presets/disabling remote unlock/etc, the car's computer (ECU) has to relearn your driving habits, etc every time you reconnect which in turn will give you poor performance/mpg/etc for a bit. Simplified guide for tracking down parasitic drain. Anyway, with a new battery you may find your issue resolved.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where to find parts for older Dodge Xplorers
Looks like for Dodge '77 (B100, B200, B300), CR4C is a replacement OEM tank. I doubt Xplorer modified the gas tank. I suppose you could pull the one you got now and see if it looks the same. BTW, you need to determine your base model (B100, B200, B300) and seperate out Vehicle parts (in this case the gas tank) from RV parts added/modified later to the base model by Xplorer (holding tank). For vehicle parts, a good place to start is rockauto.com. Even if you don't buy from there, they're pretty good for looking up part numbers.212Views0likes0Comments
