    Coolant leaking somewhere around the firewall

    Something better than some expensive stop leak you would purchase at Auto Zone is to go buy some regular black pepper and pore some into your radiator and that stops a lot of leaks. The pepper trys to get out where the leak is just as stop leak would and it swells. Mine was leaking from the...

    A/C leak?

    Okay so I went to Ford and purchased a new service port for $9 (which I was surprised) but now I need to know how much R134a goes into the system to be full. I heard (3) 12oz cans. Does anyone know exactly how many oz's it takes? Hopefully this will be the fix to the problem or I might...

    A/C leak?

    I took the dust caps off of the service port and noticed some green around it and then all of sudden I heard it leaking the R134a out pretty good. How hard is it to replace the service ports? I know you can buy the repair kits which just have the valves and the caps but mine has a...

    Radiator Installation

    My radiator has a small leak and I was wondering how difficult it is to replace on your own. I went to a shop and they quoted me at $330. I checked Auto Zones Website and I can buy the radiator there for $200. I was just wondering how much work it is to replace on an Explorer. I had a 1990...

    Seafoam Question

    Is it true that using seaform can cause your engine to start leaking oil? I have had some people tell me that it works by cleaning the carbon deposits out but by doing so it can move some of the deposits out of the way from places they are covering that would leak if they werent there.

    Radius Arm Bushing Replacement
