    Ford news

    Up to 500 ford employees are getting a raise from $19.28 to $28.50. There goes the price. 40 hours x $28.50= $1140 a week, $4560 a month. And they still haven't gotten the build correct on the explorer after 5 years. Pass door and tail gate out of alignment.

    Replacing air filter

    I did this After you undo the 2 clamps, slide the unit to the left to get the prongs out of their holes. Lift the right sideup. It will hit the extruding pieces. Just bend them up a little and jiggle it out. It can be done without removing the plug or clamp. Just take your time and be gentle...
