Anyone know where I can get a front end rebuild kit for my 96? I can buy the ball joints and tie rod ends individually, from my parts store, but was hoping I could same some cash on a kit.

I read the posts on bleeding the slave and went thru the procedures on this site and I'm still having trouble with my clutch. I replaced the clutch and slave, put it back together and hit the pedal with the quick disconnect off....the pedal was hard. I went on to bleed the slave 10-12 more...

I tried to remove the pilot bearing by prying on a bolt cupped against the back lip of the bearing, but that didn't work. After reading a few threads, I took the advise of beating the bearing to death with a chisel...that just drove it into the crankshaft recess. Now that I've taken off the...

The guy at the parts store sold me a fuel line QD tool and said it would work on the slave cylinder quick disconnect on my 96, but it doesn't appear to. Is there a special tool for the slave QD? Does it just push in on the white plastic sleeve surrounding the collar to disconect the "fingers"...

Anyone know who sells stainless steel wheel trim for a 4DR?

I'll have to say I'm pretty impressed with the small list of items I had to replace on my 96. With 95,000 miles on the beast, I've spent less than $150 on parts. Yeah, I bought the body lift, the KKM filter, the Borla exhaust and did some preventative maintenance (hoses, serpentine belt...

The front pinion seal is leaking on my 96 XLT. How do I change it? My Chilton manual does go into detail....

The clutch on my 96 started making some strange noises last winter. Every time I enguage or release the pedal, a loud squeaking is heard from the clutch area. Any ideas? I pretty confident the clutch is not bad as the truck will stall if I let it out with the brakes applied. I'm thinking a...

The steering wheel lights on my 96 for the cruise control on/off buttons are out. Anyone know how to replace these?

I'm about 1/2 way thru installing the pre-95 Performance body lift kit on my 96 4DR XLT. So far, it has not been too difficult, just time consuming working alone. The mount bolts that came in the kit are not threaded enough and I was not able to find (at ACE) fully threaded M12 bolts long...

I ordered the $165 Borla cat-back for my 96' 4dr from Rust Eck Ford (Witichita) 2 weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. Installation was a simple, but removal of the old system was a _itch! The only problem with the new system is the rear hanger...not exactly in the stock location. I'll...

I just pulled the stock Motorcraft platinum plugs yesterday with 68K miles on them. Stock gap should have been .052-.056" but most were .065 with 2 being as high as .070 after much wear of the center electrode. I installed the Bosch +4 plats and noticed a definite improvement in idle and a...

I noticed a front swaybar link on my 96 4x4 was broken the other week and proceeded to Ford for a replacement. It seems Ford replaced the 1 piece link with another, heavier yet unimpressive hunk of plastic and beefed up the diameter of the inner bolt. Ford wanted about $70 for both link kits...
