That's not exactly what I was getting at. Just that the writing style looks like what is used by Tech Hotline. As well as the powerless "I'll get back to you" type response. Tech Hotline is more or less hog-tied from making any true decisions. Anything they say or write could wind up in court...

Wow. Your responses are so "Tech Hotline" ish it's rediculous. Drive a Focus? Matching teardrop?

I enlisted in the Navy on August 24 2001. 18 days before the attack. I was in boot when it happened. Congratulations on joining. It'll have it's moments, but overall it's a great experience.:salute:

What he said. (ncranchero). Also, isn't the compressor clutch ground side switching? So a short to ground would cause constant running. Shorts to ground are usually easy to track and correct.

Transmission Troubleshooting Step 1: Fluid level. I know it's such a beginner type thing but that's exactly why it gets overlooked. I've seen so many trans "holy-****" moments boil down to low fluid. Also keep in mind that on an older one like this, it's possible the trans has been changed or...

I've seen a few 400-600K mile 7.3s in person. A Million is really impressive. They seem to just keep loving life. Well maintained of course.

As clutch plates wear in a limited slip rear diff they can create some endplay. Check out this website. http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/5ohcpa/cpa5ohtech018.htm It shows a rear diff rebuild. The author goes into a pretty good detail about the friction plates and the shims and how thickness...

Your right. There's some space in there. Dyna-mat and the likes are all pretty thin and can fit in nearly anywhere. That's your best bet if the noise is getting to you. If your not into pulling apart you new vehicle you could probably get a car audio shop to install some for a price.

If you post what vehicle we're dealing with some people may be able to give more specific information. Year and model. Don't say "Explorer" because of course it is. Be more specific. Some things I've seen in general with Ford DVD players is that they will fail to "fall asleep" which causes a...

The cause is....drumroll......rain. The roof is metal and the rain strikes it with such velocity that the kinetic energy of gravity interacting directly and vertically upon the water molecules at a standard rate of 9.8 meters/second, (not accounting for the surface area/drag ratio) is...

NCRanchero. Thank you. Holy crap, it's like finding another world. Or at least a new window.:p:

Two other ST forums? I've missed something. MyST and ??? Fill me in.

A shimmy in reverse could be something alignment related. Unless of course we're still talking driveline and driveline shimmy. If that's the case then disregard. Also, wasn't there a TSB years back about a shudder when the TQ Converter engaged which caused a bump or small surge type...

That Pensacola Adress is less than 6 miles from my house. I'll be out and about today anyhow. I think I'll drive by to see what's up. Your right. A deal that sweet should be questioned. But if it's real, I might get 3 and sell them all for a little profit. ;) Edit: I also checked the...

Well I'll be.... Learned something new today.

Now my curiousity is piqued about this Waskly. Even with it hardwired into the brake system, how is it going to prevent you from starting the engine, putting it into gear, and driving down the road? Does the truck magically shut off and lock up all the brakes if a sensor were to fail? Please...

You don't need wheelspeed sensors to run or drive. Just for ABS or Traction Control functions. Leaving them unplugged will get you an ABS fault light on in the dash and an inop ABS system. (Not Recommended)

Kind of sounds like bearings. An alignment wouldn't cause a bump feeling that matches tire speed.

The homelink system in the visors could be retrofit. The unit itself only needs 12V supplied to it to work. Technically you could put one in your pocket with a 9V battery attached and it would still work. Let the modding begin. :D

If the vehicle being discussed is the 97 Sport under your name title then I've got some direction for you. At some point in a vehicles life cycle the problems it has developed stop being a "Built Ford Muff" problem and slowly become a "This Truck Is 14 frickin years old!!" problem. If it were...

Depends. If your thinking about doing it. I'll take the "hey, it's your truck, make it how YOU like it." :thumbsup::thumbsup: But if you wanted to mock a lifted 2wd truck :crazy:..........I could get behind that too.:biggthump

I think I've got it. Tires can and will temporarily flatspot and cause just what you have. More pronounced in certain makes and/or quality of tires. As you drive the materials flex, heat up, and it works itself out. Then you park it, the weight sits on one spot of the tire as the...

"name this part!" I'd name it Shirley. Becasue it's Surely going to be important. Sorry, just being a wise azz.

You need a helper. Get someone you trust, who values your life and limb. Have them start the truck and cycle the steering back and forth while you are under there looking for what is loose. Look at the tie rod ends. (inner and outer) first. If tight then also make sure your steering rack is...

Nope. I have heard of, and seen, people drill a small 1/8 hole in a Tq Conv to drain it, then tap with 1/8 npt, and plug the hole. But it seems to me that it's too much work and risk for the reward.
