    Liftgate glass hinges on an '04

    OK, just had to do this. Hinges were $72 from Ford and they were in stock - Hmmmmm, I wonder why..... Total time was about an hour to fix EXCEPT my washers where rotten and cracked.

    How to: How I changed my 05's Front Wheel Bearing

    The balljoints are a piece of cake. I live in the salt capital(NY) and find these pretty easy. The problem is dirty corroded threads on the control arms binding the nut. The trick is to clean off the bolt threads on the control arm with a wire wheel. A Dremmel works best. Then soak with PB...

    I used one of these on my old Blazer. Haven't had the need to try it on any others but I don't see why it wouldn't work. http://www.amazon.com/Ridgid-31170-10-Inch-Basin-Wrench/dp/B001HWJ6ZA Worked like a charm for me.

    2003 Explorer Emergency

    Never experienced a misfire in my Ex but I did in our Subaru. The CEL would flash and not retain a code. A Subie tech said the flashing light was a misfire warning and codes aren't necessarily stored. I did have a flashing CEL in my Ex once and it ended up being my alternator. Took it to a shop...

    clear vs amber and plastic vs metal

    A little personal experience. I live in the snow belt of NY and prefer the yellow lights over white. I used to work nights and had a set of white and a set of yellow lights on my car. Long story short - white lights on= zero visibility, Yellow only = 100% visibility. No this isn't scientific in...

    vibration is driving me nuts!

    Alignments don't cause or cure vibrations. Sounds much like a bad wheel bearing. I've had them go bad and couldn't find any play in the wheels. The hum is the key. My front one has been driving me nuts - I really need to get on that.
