check alternator, battery or battery connections

Go around towards the side of the differencial where the driveline attaches to it. Over the top is the fill plug. PITA! But if you have any more trouble, buy a Haynes book and they show you a pic of where its at. Hope this helps.

Are you asking if a u-joint is a tranny problem?

I heard good things about Monroe Sensatracs...matter of fact, I'm starting mine now. I think next time i will just hire someone to do it cause they're PITA!

Sounds like a u-joint to me.

mine did the exact same thing...filled the fluid, still came on like yours...then i got ticked, decided to wiggle the wire on the master cylinder and it hasnt done it since. Try it...wont hurt.

the stock pipes are 2inches and the muffler i bought the smallest size was 2.25. Thats why you can buy reducers and extentions at the auto parts store. I like autoanything.com cause they were very prompt and after your first purchase, you get an email that has a survey to save 10%.

Autoanything.com. With the muffler, the fittings, extension, clamps, it came up to like 100 bucks

thanks for the advice. I decided to give it sometime (like an hour trip to school) and on the way back, it sounded great! I was doing a search and everyone that has a flowmaster 40, complained about the "drone"...I LUV IT! I wish mine was a V8 though, so it can sound much deeper. Thanks!

check if your washer fluid in the back is leaking....

finally finished! Only thing i'm concerned about is the sound. How come there's not a considerable difference from stock? I wanted it to be loud at idle and especially when you give it some gas and i'm not getting that. Hopefully i didnt do this and spend 100 bucks on nothing. Once again, any...

okay i got the stupid push pin out and it still wont come out! Trying not to get too mad cause i'll end up breaking something else (already broke half a clip holding the MAF)

Anyone know how to take out the stock air box? I've been at it for 20 mins now and getting pissed! any help would be greatly appreciated! (95 4.0 OHV)

I have a 95 xlt 4.0 4wd and i just got this at my front door today! I'm excited! It has 2.25(off set)inlet and (center) out let. Its my first mod and I'm kinda cautious. I printed out mp88's "how to install a flowmaster Muffler (with pics)" how to thread to help me out.Says its also for the 2nd...

maybe a ball joint?

2nd gen=95-01 pony

im confused. I have a 95 4.0 ohv. can i go to a junkyard get the 5.0 MAF, go to autozone get the filter and im all set? :confused:

Thats good! I was happy that mine was an easy fix too. I wonder why those are common culprits?

Do you have a multi-meter? Know someone who knows how to run one?

I have the same exact sound (tapping only in gear). I put up a thread asking for solutions but no responses...good luck!

did you test the cruise switch on the master cylinder? I did the same things that you did and that was the last check. Try searching and you will find my thread.

NuFinish here

what about the monroe sensatrac for street driving?

u joint

yup its the alternator...

New alternator definately.

i would say its an alternator problem

try autozone for the special tool and there is a thread on here where it has step by step of how to do it and it has pics!

I simply checked all of the possible problems like you did and eventually bought a haynes manual. Read that theres a switch called a "Cruise Switch" on the front of the master cylinder (ahead of the reservoir) and went to the dealer and that was the culprit. I didnt bother looking at the...

I thought I could press a couple of buttons and change the temp...well, you learn new things everyday! So, I'm guessing I have to have the dealer fix it right?

This sport trac has 42k miles only and its selling for 13k. So here's a couple of questions that I have. Is it common to have an oil leak in these vehicles? In the overhead console, how do I change the temp? (Currently reading 140F) Do you guys think this is a good buy? Any comments would be...

ask BarberJ if you have any more questions...

electricity will always find the path of least resistance. So if you have an opening in your plug wires, they will arc to something thats metal like the frame.

have you tried the simple walmart radio harness? Instead of splicing and doing all the bull, you just cut the original harness and install the new one in its place. just a suggestion, its what i have on my exp.

try putting some water in a spray bottle and spray the plugs with the ex running (of course). My boss just did the same and found a buddy of his' problem with the ignition coil arcking to the frame.

I was thinking of changing out my shocks too (95 ex xlt stock) but when i saw this link, it took me nowhere. Anyone know a better link? Or give me good suggestions with what they have? Pics would be awesome too! :D Thanks, rica

Thanks for all your help! I figured out the problem (not my husband). Turns out it was the cruise switch on the master cylinder (dealer calls it the cruise deactivation switch). It cost 21 bucks but i think its worth it. Again thanks!

im confused :wtf: i told my husband this and he asked what the connection was with the switch in the master cylinder and the cruise control. Obviously I dont know much, but i'd like to learn whats wrong...can you tell me what you mean?

horn works, yup

Okay, checked the fuses...they're good...what do i check next? Someone told me that it has something to do with the vacuum and they said its electronically controlled. Do these go bad normally?
