    I changed out the upper left idler pulley and that seemed to do the trick.

    Fog (or Air) Horn Sound [Video Added] [SOLVED]

    Truck started making an odd, intermittent fog horn like sound from under the hood. It's getting louder and more frequent. I initially suspected an idler pulley bearing or something like that. Further research online suggest there may be an issue with the Idle Air Control Valve. Has anyone...

    Front Hub Bearing Question

    That makes a lot of sense. It sure is deceiving. I would have bet someone money that the driver's side was bad based on the sounds and feel when driving.

    Front Hub Bearing Question

    So I have a hub bearing out. Loud hum and vibration when driving. My question is...how to I verify which side it is? When I drive and make a slight left it gets noticeable louder. Likewise when I make a slight right it gets quieter. It this the driver side bearing? I wanted to replace both...

    Front Turn Signal Issue

    This has got to be an easy thing, but maybe not. My front passenger side turn signal bulb flashes like it should when using the turn signal. It does not stay lit as part of the "running lights" if that's what it is called. The driver side bulb works fine. Flashes and stays lit when lights...

    TPMS Fault

    Just a quick question. About a month ago I started hearing a slight "hum" noise in the front end. It has gotten progressively louder. Especially noticeable when I make a slight left or right turning motion while driving. I assume I have a wheel bearing going out. Today I got a TPMS fault...

    Exhaust manifold nightmare

    Dude....that's why dealers are also called stealers on a lot of car forums. I just had my passenger side bolts replaced. 2 were broken off, 2 others had larger bolts screwed into the head. Dealer quoted by $2000 + over the phone. Told me they had to pull motor to do the job. My local...

    Exhaust Manifold Gasket Leak

    I had the shop look at the head pretty closley. They were convinced it was fine since they were able to drill and tap the holes that needed it. Runs great right now and seems to be getting a 1-2 mile increase in the MPG department.

    08 sport trac key pad code

    You could also just look behind the fuse box located under the driver side dash, outside "wall". Its on a sticker on the back of the box. You need a mirror and a cellphone to take a picture of the sticker.

    Exhaust Manifold Gasket Leak

    I paid my mechanic for a gasket set, exhaust studs and 3 hours of labor. Less than $300. I had originally went to another shop and also called the local Ford dealer. They both told me that the engine would have to be pulled to do the job and quoted me $2500 - $3000. I was not going to pay...

    Exhaust Manifold Gasket Leak

    This is more of a rant than an issue I need help with..... I got my pass. side leak fixed yesterday. My mechanic said whoever worked on the truck before was a dumb@ss. The previous people were able to get 2 broken studs out. Their idea of a fix was to take oversized bolts (not exhaust studs...

    Cooling System Issue

    Nope...a nice hour long drive down the interstate has its ways of revealing leaks. :confused: Looks like it may be the radiator. Nice and steamy coming from under the power steering reservoir. I think that's what it is anyway...didn't pay much attention. Drivers side of radiator. I think...

    Cooling System Issue

    Cooling System Issue

    I have a 07 Limited. I have noticed recently that it sounds like the cooling fan clutch may be going bad. There are times when it sounds like a semi-truck...like the fan is spinning at the motors RPM. It only lasts a few seconds and then goes back to normal. When it acts up, I notice the the...

    2007 ST Limited 2x4 Transmission Problems

    I would check the O2 Sensor, the wire to it and the plug/connector and see if there any obvious signs of damage that could cause an electrical issue. It's free...just crawl under there and look around.

    'Whirring' noise...

    If it has one, it could also be the cooling fan clutch. My wife's trailblazer had the clutch go out. The damn thing sounded like a semi truck when that fan was spinning with the engine rpms. Not to hard to change yourself, but as typical, not a lot of room to work.

    2007 sport trac exhaust manifold leak...again

    I thought Ford supposedly upgraded the design or metal used in the new replacement manifolds so warping wouldn't be that much of an issue.......

    Two Issues...

    More details on the rear end knock. I noticed that at low speeds (costing along at 8-10 mph) it is the loudest and pretty constant. If I hit the accelerator it goes away immediately. When I'm cruising at 35-30 mph and I barely hit the gas to keep speed, it starts and it constant. Not as...

    Two Issues...

    So today I noticed that I have a light knock noise coming from the rear. It's particularly noticeable at low speeds and is pretty rhythmic. Over the weekend I notices a squeak noise from the rear upon first moving the vehicle after sitting for 4-5 hours. it went away pretty quickly though...

    factory key pad code location

    I have a 2007. Mine was located under the steering wheel side behind the fuse box. You need a small mirror and a cell phone to take a picture. Mine was even upside down. I'm not sure if its in the same place on the 2010's though. This should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKe7eh0xfQ
