I have a 1995 xlt, V6 auto 4wd, which has given me nothing but trouble since the day I bought it. Tons of little things, but the biggies are the trans at 66k ($3500) and the steering rack at 85k ($1k). So I swore I would never buy another. Of course, a mint 97 xlt V6 auto AWD falls in my...

4.0 intake manifold, just to the passenger side of the T-stat housing. One-wire. What is it? I ask cuz I found a thread asking about bad mileage. It said if you get crappy mileage (yep), check your T-stat (OK), and your coolant temp sensor. Ran out to NAPA and bought a $18 "Coolant Temp...

$1300 bucks! Pisses me off. The steering rack is $120 rebuilt online, but brakes & shocks is where my comfort zone under a car ends. The Ford part was $500 new, plus they did the PS hoses, plus an alignment. Still, there is no way I would have wanted to do it myself. I was tempted to just...

Which one is the coolant temp sensor? I bought one, and it has 2 wires & is on the driver side of the Tstat. On the passenger side of the Tstat is a one-wire sensor. What is this? Will it affect my mileage?? Thx

Its the steering rack. #### ford.

When my right front wheel hits a pothole, the steering wheel shakes violently enough to throw your hands off it. Also, when making a sharp right turn at any speed, violent shaking. This was not gradual. Yesterday fine, today scary. No missing wheel weights. Left wheel fine. Regular...

Yep, one 10 amp fuse! Thanks y'all!

Ok, it may be a total coincidence, but my 4x4 will not engage and my overhead console is blacked out! Turn the knob on the dash, and the 4x4 idiot light does not go on. Look up to see if I am going N-S-E-W, or check the temp, and the display is black. What happened? I dont see anything...

Ahhh, Ford quality...if they have not recalled Explorers, then nothing is wrong. Right? Right? Anybody? Its not like Ford has a history of that or anything. I guess we can no longer take umbrage at those who call them "Exploders". Yep, I just unpluged mine.

HEY! Did you guys know she sings? I had no idea. Turn out, she is saying "boots" and "walking", not.... And what car are y'all talking about? I've been watching for an hour now, in slow-mo, and have yet to see a car. But the front end does seem to have excessive shimmy.

Not cycling at all. Stays off, so wont take any more freon. Is there any way to rig it so it stays on (engaged) all the time?

No metal shavings, the belt still spins, it has freon in it, (reads "medium" on my cheap gage) so its not a big leak or an "overcharge". I did not get the whole can in, just a little. The compressor does spin by hand, so not siezed. Any ideas how to fix this?

My wife has been complaining about no AC in the X, and I have managed to ignore her since I dont drive it. Well, today I drove it in the heat wave. It was murder. Time to fix it. So I gave it a bottle of R-34 BEFORE I noticed the compressor clutch was not engaging! I have had AC...

Is 5 x 114.3 the same as 5 x 115? I really want these aftermarkets to it.

thanks!

anyone know if the BMW X5 wheels will fit on an X? I cant find the bolt pattern anywhere, never mind backspacing. THANKS!!!

Harbor Freight is one of the best deals around. There is not a store near me , but I have used the website. Cheap stuff, but dirt cheap prices. Have you seen the NASCAR style aluminum floor jack for something like $80?

Ok, let's take it as a given that "fashion" is stupid, and I have never been a trend-sucking dilettante. Wore black dickies and a gray T-shirt all thru college. I was the last kid bringing a metal lunch box to school. I'm sensing that I'm the last one to know again. As a kid, I always...

"body lift" would have a different meaning....

Thats a lotta work (and $) for a couple extra doors. There are cowboy Caddillacs, those must be cowboy limosines. There is a dude around here with a 4 door late 80's Bronco. He only drives it in winter. The 1st time I saw it, my doubletake almost snapped my neck! First I thought it was...

Advertising is everything. Most salesmen will tell you it wont be on there, but somehow it "accidentally" gets put on. There is a local dealer here who is willing to lose the sale rather that sell a car without his logo! At least its better than 10+ years ago. They used to DRILL a...

Do you own the building? Whoever does probably has the contract with the coin-op people. They will pass on the cost of damaged machines to you. For the $$ you kids spend on laundry, you could probably buy a couple of machines yourselves.

Thats not really a "blow out" - more of a disintergration. F*ckstones would blowout, ie explode. One second the tire is on the road, next second the rim is on the road, (if you are lucky). I had one 10 years ago, drivers front. Blew a hole, literally, thru the drivers fender. If...

Gimp, Does "Better-Built" have a website? That sounds like what Ive been looking for, and at a price a little more that what it would cost in materials.

Thanks all, but I think I am going to sell it on eBay. All the websites above have engines over 13hp start a 750, which still cant come close beating the new Kohler for $500. Can't rebuild it. Siezed solid. Run without oil. I would do rings, seals, & bearings; but this will need way more...
