    Second Gear Flare

    I posted this in the stock section but didn't get any answers. I tried searching but didn't find anything. I have a second gear flare but it only flares under 3/4 throttle from about 40 mph (i.e. merging on the highway). I tried full throttle from a stand still, full throttle at 40 mph cruise...

    Second Gear Flare

    I tried searching but didnt really find the answer. I have a second gear flare but it only flares under 3/4 throttle from about 40 mph (i.e. merging on the highway). I tried full throttle from a stand still, full throttle at 40 mph cruise, and normal take off. All shifts good and firm but not...

    Won't Idle

    I got it fixed, it was the IAC. But what was weird was it happened suddenly. Something like that usually takes some time. All is good now though.

    Won't Idle

    Hello, I have a '96 XLT. Just this morning I started up and just cranks. It will start if I hit the gas but will shut off again after I let off. After starting a few time like that and I slowly let off the gas it will idle at about 300 rpm. Any ideas on what could be causing this? If you...

    Is changing the trans fluid really important?

    actually if you ask ford, since it is a 'sealed' unit, it is "lifetime" flui. but we all know that is a raft of crap. also most transmissions have 100k service intervals

    Is changing the trans fluid really important?

    it's really more of how it's driven. we just rebuilt a 02 explorer trans with 185,000 miles on it.

    Should i do this ?? 170k 03 eddie 4.0

    as far as i know you cant actually do a complete flush because of the torque convertor. there is more oil in there though than just pulling the pan. actually with the mileage and you say you can feel it starting to slip, might want to look into getting a rebuild while its not tore up bad. these...

    Radiator

    I tried searching but didn't really find anything. My radiator has a leak and I am going to get a new one. From what I have read, the V8 has a larger core radiator than the V6, which I have. Is this true? If so will it bolt up? I do a good bit of towing so it would be nice to have a little...

    performance chips

    not to steel the thread, but what do you guys think about programmers in relation to reliability. i am in the same boat with a stock motor, no exhaust or intake. some people i have talked to dont like them saying they are hard on the transmission and the drivetrain in general.
