    Flashing 4x4 lights

    I had my 4 wheel drive (high) engaged on sun driving thru a snow storm here in Ohio. After about 30 mins, my 4 high and 4 low lights started flashing at me. Any ideas on this? What caused it? How to fix it?

    Center Console

    I am looking at swapping out my center console. I have a '96 sport with the basic console. I wanna swap it out for one out of a limited that has the buttons and the digital read out. Are the plugs already in place? Can I bolt in the new one? Is it that easy or is it a big modification??

    Draining the Torque Converter???

    I am a little confused. There is no longer a way to drain the remaing fluid out of the torque converter when you are changing the filter and fluid. There is still fluid in the converter after dropping the pan. There is no way possible to drain it? There usually is an access hole or a rubber...

    Just a thought. I replaced my IAC Valve this weekend. The ford dealer wanted $137.00 for it. I went to the local siferd hosselman and got it for $47.51. I looked at cleaning it, but why chance it, I found it cheap. By cleaning it you chance having more problems then just a carboned up IAC...
