    A/C electronics diagnostic, help

    So I found my problem. It wasn't any kind of equipment failure. On my last camping trip something must have gotten in my engine compartment and gnawed through the two wires that go to the sensor on the drier. I found this out as I was about to unplug it and jump the wires. It wasn't readily...

    A/C electronics diagnostic, help

    Unless a blend door can cause the compressor to engage im not going to fix it at this time. Itd be like fixing a scratched rim before a flat tire. It is a concern ill deal with in the near future just not now. Thank you for the step by step run down though.

    A/C electronics diagnostic, help

    I did the self diag. test and it read 22 67. And from the research I gathered that is a fault or failure of the passenger side blend door. Ever since day one with this truck though its passenger side vents havent immediately put out the temp I change it to. If its cold and I need heat the...

    A/C electronics diagnostic, help

    I did scan it with my SCT handheld tuner. No codes at all I did "try" to add with an AutoZone all in one can. The gauge read 100psi from the low side. If the compressor isnt running the high and low side will be the same. I do follow Makuloco and watched that video before I even posted the...

    A/C electronics diagnostic, help

    I havent added pressure to the system. I swapped the working fog lights relay for the A/C clutch. The fog lights lit up with the A/C relay. So, relays good. Underhood fuses are good. Compressor is still plugged in. It is the dual automatic, digital style.

    A/C electronics diagnostic, help

    Up until recently my A/C worked perfect. Not even a hint of problems (aside from the common blend door thing). Then one day the A/C compressor would not engage. The AC light on the controls lights up and im getting fan but no compressor engagement. Ive checked the neutral pressure from the low...

    Radiator failure is common. Also our radiators are 20lb systems. A cheap one will fail quickly at that pressure. Most other cars run 14lbs. if im not mistaken.

    07 explorer 4.6l v8 bolt ons

    Guess it really depends on your budget. A hand held tuner, cat back exhaust and K&N intake are fairly common mods. After that possibly a gear change, throttle body and intake runner control delete. If you really want to go big they used to make a supercharger for it. Past that, look into the...

    Current good shops selling tuners; 4.6 3V

    I keep running into old threads that aren't helpful. Who are the current shops that sell tuners with tunes for our 3v 4.6s? Id like to also know which tuner has the ability to shut off the intake butterflies?

    Electric Fan Conversion - 2008 Sport Trac

    It'd be nice to know what to do with the electrical connector to the factory fan. Seems like there could be a way to integrate that over to the electric fan.

    Ahh, yes. Can you see why I called the ones you are after a 5 V spoke. It looks like five Vs. Have you seen 20" adrenalin wheels?

    Running Board Disassembly and Paint

    Maybe a professional job on the grip surface of the running boards would help. Like if you went to a dealership that does aftermarket spray in bed liners. Maybe slip the sprayer guy a $10 to hit the boards on the next bed liner job.

    So it is possible that my system is either broken or it really can detect when the butterflies have been disconnected because im still getting a check engine light and im down on power from when I had the butterflies zip tied open. Stay tuned. Trouble shooting and solutions to come. Be patient...

    Help me - The Engine does not start

    Ford dealerships have a diagnostic analysis computer that will be able to do it all. Find the issue and then sync them all up. Im guessing most dealerships could have you in and out in 2hr or less.

    Help me - The Engine does not start

    If you get a different gauge cluster you will be in the same boat. The gauges, key and computer all have to sync up to work. If 1 is not recognized then you wont start.

    Help me - The Engine does not start

    Bite the bullet and flat bed it to the dealership. PATS isnt something you can fix with unhooking the battery or cycling the ignition 10 times.

    Front bumper removal

    Most of it is straight forward with bolts or plastc screw push clips. But in front of the tires there are brackets that have me stumped. I cant seem to find any info on how these assemble or disassemble. Anyone with experience please help.

    Dual Straight Cat Blacks

    Wondered this myself. It may be possible to just run both pipes butt-up next to each other. One 3" should flow plenty though. Id like to see if a side exit in front of the driver rear can be done.
