Thank you for the website and graphs, this will make it much easier to choose the correct grade oils to use in my 2.3turbo Mustang!!

im not here to call you a liar, but the fact remains that engines are built with MUCH tighter tolerances than they once were.. that being said, a heavier oil is harder to get between moving parts and WILL cause problems.

Its hard for us in the AF to get anything other than 15W40, and we have had replace a few engines as a result.. I tried telling the old hats that you HAVE to run the specified oil or it causes timing chain tensioner failure, sludge, and ultimately engine failure and I get the ole "Well, they...

believe it or not, the vacuum is higher at idle than full throttle because when the throttle plate is closed it introduces a restriction which increases vacuum

probably not the pump as they run constant while the engine is running, sounds more like differential noise.. this was a problem that there was a tech service bulletin on for earlier 3rd gen X's

sounds like you either have a loose/leaking vacuum hose or a directional door with a pinhole in the diapgragm. Oh yeah, 3rd gen X's are drive by wire so you can scrap the throttle linkage idea

I had the dashboard out of my 05 explorer to repair a fresh air/recirc door problem. While it was apart, I moved all of the directional doors manually, then re-assembled and tested all settings.. Mine blows out of the floor vents constantly as well, Im beginning to think that its supposed to...

this is just here say, but i heard that the 1-2 upshift is intentionally programmed like it is to chop the throttle because ford knew that the 5r55e trans was and is a weak piece..

Well i just got done re assembling the truck today and it works really well. Something i did notice was that all of the directional/blend doors have the same setup, so if you get cold air when you have the temp select set to hot (or vice versa), it could be one of these damn things... hopefully...

Damn I knew I should have taken pics.. I used Loctite Weld to stick the arm to the flapper, but i prepped both of them before.. I cut slits in the end of the arm and sprayed electronic parts cleaner into the end of the flapper door.

actually the nickname was from an 83 mustang gt i had.. lol.. the weak airflow problem was the typical piece of **** broken piece of plastic, i did a short write up in the 3g forum about how to repair it without taking the whole dashboard apart. thanks for the welcomes guys!!

Thank you for the reply good Sir! And nice find!!!

Well, after using alldata to figure out how to get this thing apart to repair or fix (after removing the entire dashboard) the mixer door i figured it out really quick after alldata told me to remove the heater core/ac condenser box.. i will list all of the steps, but i didnt take any pics...

If they were already warped, I dont recommend getting them turned as you will have thicker and thinner spots and it will warp again very easily.. The only reason rotors should be turned is if there are shallow grooves in them and you are replacing the pads as well. Your pads should be fine as...

sorry to bring this back up, just have a question.. so the lever that locks the tilt locks the telescope function after that block is modified?

Whats happening yall? Im from Northwest Georgia but stationed at Creech AFB, NV. I joined to get some tips and tricks for my XLT (more specifically weak airflow from vents...). Thanks all! Nate Sanders:us:
