Hey Dude: just saw this...flashing O/D can be really bad. I had that happen to me, needed a new tranny. total cost 1700 bucks

Hey there; As far as the Keypad, it may indeed be broken or the code you have is wrong. You will have to double check with ford, if you give them VIN, they can get you the right code. Leaky diff is bad, humming noise means there is not enough lube. You need a rear diff lube job. It may just...

I fixed it. The ford techs could not figure it out...not shocked. But the switch's orientation mattered. They had it placed at 90 degree angle from the brake pedal. it has to be inline with the pedal. They tried to tell me that it was my master cylinder or calipers.

Sounds like your timing chain guide has bought it. please know that there are 4 chains on the 4.0L v6. I had the same sound, and had the chains done, but ended up rebuilding the entire engine as the cost differential was about 400 bucks.

Hi guys: so, it seems that "big red" now has another issues. I noticed that unless I press the brake pedal firmly, the brake lights don't come on. I was stopped by an old dude who told me I had no brake lights, so I got out and checked. Pressed the brake, lights come on. No problem, I...

Hey can you post the pictures again please? I have the same issue and I want to fix it. Thank you very much

Problem found... Seems as though it was a bad plug. I actually checked the plug twice, but could find no fault, however the Ford tech pulled it, tested it and it was "broken" whatever that means. I re-replaced all plugs, and now Big Red runs like a champ.

Hey guys I checked the PCV elbow and it looked fine. The IAC was next on my list, but I took it to a mechanic. He said it looked fine. He did an injector cleaning and vacuum thing to get carbon deposits. But same problem. So, I made an appointment for the dealer. One mechanic said my torque...

Hi guys, I am perplexed in my pursue for a smooth running truck. So when I am at a stop light on the brake, the engine shudders in no pattern what so ever. It runs smooth, the suddenly shudders. it is a mystery to me. Here is what I have done thus far: Engine was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago...

cost Hello: I paid 2400 all in. It was worth it. The engine is like brand new.

Hey: So I had to get the timing chains replaced in my 02. Ended up just getting the engine rebuilt for like 400 bucks more. It is expensive and requires the engine to be pulled to get all 4 chains replaced. So, if you are gonna have a shop do it, ask about the difference in price for a...

Hello: I ordered mine from ebay...27 bucks delivered and installed them in about 4 minutes. Its just a clip. You may want to check out youtube for an instructional video. But its farly easy to do and very cheap.

wow. I just had the whole engine rebuilt when my timing chain started to fail.

yeah...but I supplied the timing chain kit...I bought the kit before I had decided to just do a rebuild so I did not protest the cost.

UPDATE: so, it was a timing chain guide. Seems a brand new one that they put in was defective...though I have my suspicions. The mechanic said "did you give us all the guides in the kit you purchased?" I gave them a complete kit, all guides, tensioners and chains included. I think they lost...

Here is the update folks...took the advice from here and bought a new control module, and guess what? I have 4x4 again. THANK YOU so much for the advice. I do have a follow up question though, is it normal to hear a whine when you turn? I am thinking I need to get grease put somewhere...just...

Update: Rock Auto sent me the wrong part...

I just use Meguiar's Back to Black 2x per year. The plastic looks great and no need to mask and paint. It works great on all the plastics regardless of color.

Hello: I may be the messenger with bad news. My o/d light was blinking away as well...Turns out that the Tranny was shot. I had to have it rebuilt. I certainly hope that is not the case with your truck, but it is something to think about.

that is crazy...on a newly rebuilt engine. I think I am going to beat my mechanic with a bat.

the truck is a 4.0l v6. Had the engine rebuilt because the timing chains were going. Was gonna cost me 2000 for just chain replacement. My mechanic told me that the rebuild would be better in the long run.

Hello folks: here is a conundrum. I started my truck last night (30 degrees in NYC), and she fired up with no problems at all. As i parked the truck, I noticed that it was really loud and sounded like a diesel. This concerns me because I spent about 3 grand to rebuild the engine 1500 miles...

Thanks...I can only guess. LOL
