    Trouble Removing Intake Manifold

    it is the egr tube that comes up from the egr valve. It is held in place with a rubber o ring. The metal tube doesn't go straight into the manifold it is kinda bent on the end. You have to twist and move the manifold around as you are lifting it up to remove the manifold. It can be tricky...

    My truck doesnt like the cold

    sounds like the IAC, idle air control valve, do a search on it then clean it out. If that doesn't work then you may have to buy another one.

    Help With My 96 Explorer / 4X4 Light On, No Engagement

    your model has the CAD system (center axle disconnect). You need to make sure you are getting vacuum to the controllers and diaphragm mounted on the front axle. Do a search on here for CAD and look for articles that get detailed on how to check these things out.

    New battery & alternator. My battery light is on, and the truck dies constantly.

    What motor you got? Also get a voltmeter and go out and see if you have 12volt at the batt. post on the back of the alternator. If so your fusible link is still good and we can go from there.

    Steering wheel off centered?

    I couldn't tell you unless I checked it out. I would at least take it back and tell them to center the wheel. Then you can ask them why they didn't make the camber closer to zero to see what they say.

    Steering wheel off centered?

    That adjustable piece on the pass side is for cross caster split settings, not camber. You only have so much adjustment with the caster/camber cams. The pass. may be maxed out as positive as it will go so they moved the driver side more negative to get the cross camber in spec.

    Steering wheel off centered?

    Yes, the way they have your camber set is going to wear the inside of the tires more. They should have tried to get them both closer to zero (unless they couldn't for some reason). All that needs to be done to correct your steering wheel is to make the driver side tie rod longer and the...

    Steering wheel off centered?

    Your total toe looks fine. I don't like how they set up your camber though, according to alldata the camber range should be from -1.0 - 0. They really just moved the left side more negative to adjust the split. Maybe they couldn't adjust the right more positive ? Anyway, if the car doesn't...

    Steering wheel off centered?

    unless you have bought a caster/camber kit the alignment shop can't adjust these angles on your stock vehicle. They will still charge you for what you think is a full alignment. All they are really doing is setting the steering wheel and the toe. This is stuff you can do with a 2x4 and a...

    Fog machine to smoke EVAP?

    sounds good, keep us updated, I want to know how it goes. Remember the evap system isn't supposed to be tested over ~1.5psi so don't just let it run forever. Run it to that evap test port, with the gas cap off, when you see smoke come out the gas cap area put the gas cap back on and run it for...

    Is it worth the fix? In desperate need of advice.

    If you can do most of the work yourself, keep it. But if you have to pay for everything then the bill can add up real quick. If you can't do much yourself, I say cut your losses and get rid of it.
