    Bearing Noise

    Don't really know what to check with the slip yoke, everything seems tight. I took off the driver side tire and checked the brakes, the pads were fine but the rotors had a little rust ridge on the inner side which I chipped it off, the inner pad had worn from this buildup, and the noise is half...

    Bearing Noise

    Yes it makes it at all speeds, seems like slow speed is worse. It was dark last night, I'll climb under tonight and check the yokes, it doesn't clunk at all though going into gear. It really sounds like a wheel bearing, there was just zero movement when I checked for movement vertically. I...

    Bearing Noise

    My wife's 2000 Explorer XLS is making a bearing type noise in the front end. I jacked it up last night and checked the tire movement horizontally and vertically and everything is tight.

    E-Bay stories

    Glacier, I still say if you buy a glass ball at Home Depot or Ebay and put it on top of any of these trannies, you'll have an intersting yard ornament...the best use of a Ford Trannie.........or Dodge for that matter.......

    Oil Usage

    How often do you change it? 3,500 miles should be tops, after that you will use oil just because it begins to loose it's lubricative properties.

    Fuel light mile estimate?

    Plus the wive's tale of blowing fuel pumps when you let it get down that low always seems to come true in my case. My wife has blown the fuel pump in her Explorer, my Ram truck, and our son's Honda Accord by letting the gas get down to nothing... Just a wive's tale...hmmmm...:roll: Bill

    help new heads now engine runs like crap

    How did you go about adjusting the valves after you torqued the heads back on? As I said before if you haven't touched anything else, it sounds like the valves are adjusted too tight and are not closing properly. Bill

    help new heads now engine runs like crap

    How did you go about adjusting the valves after you torqued the heads back on? As I said before if you haven't touched anything else, it sounds like the valves are adjusted too tight and are not closing properly. As mentioned a compression check will identify this. Bill

    Ac On..ac Off...ac On..ac Off?? Help

    Sounds to me like there is moisture in the system, have you had it charged lately. Perhaps they didn't evacuate the system properly. A little moisture freezes on the expansion valve, raises the head pressure and it shuts off. Also if you are low on freon it will cycle like that as well. Bill

    Seriously Squeaky Question, Help!

    And sometimes the upper ball joint is the squeaker. If you take the control arm off be sure to mark the adjusters location or you'll be adding an alignment to the process.
