    hot drivers side ac and high idle

    Yes thats when it does it. It is a normal idle then revvs a little high for about a second than goes back to normal idle for about 2 seconds. It just repeats the process. No extra loads no higher temps. everything seems normal except for the higher engine idle for a second.

    hot drivers side ac and high idle

    ...? I don't think its manual. it just the 3 knobs that you turn. Its not a digital degree or anything.

    hot drivers side ac and high idle

    07 x 58k miles, Lately the engine has been revving intermittently during idle. It will idle at 1250rpm then jump to 1750rpm for only 2 seconds then go back to 1250rpm for about 5 seconds then back to revving. this only happens when the air conditioning is on. Also the drivers side AC is not...

    Tires need help

    yea the big issue is that the tires were not round? The tire was round but when they put the tread on the tread was "wobbly" like moving side to side. This caused them to use 8oz per tire. But i never noticed it on or off road.

    '08 Body lift issues

    There are no issues with the shifter. at least when I did mine there weren't any. you have to modify the steering extension the front bumper everything goes in "easy" you need two people to do the job as the pucks that hold the body mounts spin and you need to get leverage on them. Ive done...

    Need immediate help on 07 mountaineer body lift!!

    Did the kit you purchased have the steering extension on it? That is something that is needed. You need to slightly modify it to fit but that piece is absolutely necessary.

    Tires need help

    That's my truck!!!!! 32" guard dogs. They were good. Almost shot at about 2.5 years. But I also drive it like a car than a lifted truck so I know I put more wear on them. . .

    NEED HELP! With truxxx install

    I also loosened my lower control arm where it meets with the center of the truck. Helps a little with clearance, lets the arm drop to the floor so you can get the strut with the lift back on. Air tools help a lot. I know you can do the job without but if u have them why not use them.

    Coils 3rd gen to 4th yes or no

    alright, if the answer is out there sorry, however after a couple days of research and lurking I cant find the right answer. So a definite yes or no would be great. Are the coils on the 3rd gen the same as the 4th?

    I had truxx and a custom body lift. You can also talk to stepj and ronin. We all did the body lifts and truxxx. Ronin did something a little more custom for the front of his. But it depends what you wanna do. If just a few inches I would do truxxx and get BTF upper control arms. total is...

    Suspension question

    there isnt much. I have tried to see if the struts on the 4th gen x are the same as the 3rd gen x(05) but not many people will comment. Also I am thinking about just cutting some spring. there is a guy on here that cut 1/2 coil from all struts and got a 3/4" drop in front and 1/2 in back...
