Bad A/C compressor ?? Have you figured this out, yet ?? I would try taking off the serpentine belt (just need a 15mm? (not sure on size) socket on a 3/8" ratchet, to remove it), then see if the CENTER of the a/c compressor turns easily, or if not, then it would indicate the Compressor is...

update on 96 v8 exhaust manifold r & r OK, I removed the splashguard on that side (passenger), and then was able to get a 15mm socket onto that bolt, just enough, to get it loose. It was not seized at all, at least, after I had already soaked it with PB Blaster....the new manifold (made in...

I have a 96 EB with 5.0, bought new in 96 with 3 miles on it. VERY well maintained. I just took it apart, to replace the right exhaust manifold gasket, that I thought was leaking, but it was the manifold, cracked completely into 2 pieces !! New one is $196.99, here locally, made by Dorman...

V8 oil cooler hose replacement, O-ring....and console lid question.... No, I have not had ANY leaks, since REMOVING the oil cooler, and replacing both water hose that go to and then from it. There is NO way you could replace that small hose, between the cooler and the water pump, unless you...

My '96 Eddie Bauer 5.0 AWD has a noisy tire, I recently had it rotated to front, and started REALLY noticing the thump-thump-thump....these are Goodyear Wrangler, OEM size tires....2nd set since new, with 90k on the truck. You can see, regular, "bumps" on the tire, all the way around it...

Well, I finally got my front axle pinion seal leak fixed....I installed one from O'Reilly's, and I don't know if it was the way I did it, but it leaked worse than before I fixed it!!! Got one from Ford, it had grease already applied to the seal, and seemed to be made a little...

on my wife's 96 5.0 V8, I had to pull the console, remove an access plate under it, to get to the electrical PLUGS where the O2 sensors plug in !!!!!! That looked easier than removing the exhaust pipes, the only other way I could see to do it. It was easy, after I got the console out. SHe has...

ABSOLUTELY they make BOATLOADS of $$$$$$ on financing, that is the ONLY way dealerships survive, nowadays.....they tell you that 8.5% is the best you qualify for, tell you about the 2 dr. bills you didn't pay in 1989 or any other B.S. they can find to talk about on your credit report, and then...

It is fairly common for a sales manager to put too much into a trade-in, sometimes because he is selling a model that is 500 days old, or something like that, they look at days on the lot, manager looks bad if he has a bunch of cars that have been on the lot a LOT of days..... Also, just...

I got it this a.m. at Ford dealer, it was 39 or so....bout the same as O'Reilly's....I left the ticket out in my car, will post the part # later.... James Jensen eokie1@yahoo.com

Glad I found this, because I just found the exact same problem, O'Reilly's computer is showing the WRONG part, it is Borg-Warner # 31019, I checked their website, it shows this part # when you look it up on the web, too........I will go to my local Ford dealer, Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney...

just something to keep in mind, "program" cars can be either: demo. from THAT dealership (salesman, sales manager, dealer, parts manager, etc. drove it for 5-25k miles) repo (bought at Ford Credit auction....could be a demo. that the dealership sent to auction (I think..), an ex-rental car, a...

now, not sure if this is what you are noticing, but on mine, at least, it seems to be a normal thing for the radio display to dim when it gets nighttime, and brighten when it is daylight.....if you look at it when it is just between the 2 levels, you will notice it dimming or brightening...

I don't know about the later models, they may be different, but I *think* if it has the trailer wiring at all, it has the "tow package", as I remember (I sold the Explorer to myself, got it for dealer cost, I was selling new Ford's in 95-96) the tow package included the Limited Slip 3.73 rear...

TALK to the ZONE REP., they are about the only ones who will do any assistance $$$.... but, with over 100k....it is not too likely they will pony up much. I do, of course, agree, that unless maintenance-neglected or seriously over-revved, or something, a crank should NOT break.... James...

well, could not find the OTC tool, T79P-4676-A, anywhere locally in Dallas, where I work, and which I learned from OTC (tool manufacturer) was superseded by their part #, 205-133, anywhere locally, it was only $34.35, but could not overnight it to me, until tomorrow (I had missed their 1 pm...
