    The other night my wipers stopped, moved a bit, then the fuse popped.Now when I replace the fuse they move for a second and it pops, i can push them back down easily and the fuse doesnt pop with the motor unplugged so its not a short in the circuit.

    For anyone trying to get the maf screws off

    This turns them into normal screws, no need to buy a security bit set.I've even used this on ignition screws on dodge trucks.

    For anyone trying to get the maf screws off

    Those pesky security bits are easily taken care of by taking a punch or in my case a spade bit and breaking them off with a hammer, then you can use a normal torx to remove your maf to clean it better.

    NEED HELP BIG TIME

    Even if this was a good idea those frame rails would need to be cut back farther, the frame is still mangled where you cut it off.I suggest a full frame swap, you wont get this near straight with no experience.

    The whole side of mine is rusted out behind the wheel well.My original plan was to bend some copper tubing and use that but its impossible to get the bends right without a tubing bender and the dipstick wouldnt read correctly.Now im cutting out the rotted section and replacing it with 3/4"...

    I unplugged some wires to take the pictures.It seems this was controlled by a separate remote, so i'll probably be removing it since its useless.

    Do the heads commonly crack when these things blow a headgasket?

    It doesn't have that frothy milkshake appearance trans fluid mixed with coolant has and the trans shifts fine.I had the cooler on an 01 explorer rupture and it took out the headgasket and transmission pretty quickly filling the trans with coolant.

    Do the heads commonly crack when these things blow a headgasket?

    I'm having someone check the coolant with the engine running in the next few days for bubbles, I have my fingers crossed I don't have to tear it down and do head gaskets. This would be a lot easier if I weren't away for work. If there are no bubbles I'll order a coolant system pressure testing...

    Do the heads commonly crack when these things blow a headgasket?

    I have oil in my coolant, so I'm guessing the headgasket is blown.The truck idles fine and blows hot air the temp gauge reads low but I think the sensor is gummed with oil skewing the reading.
