Can someone please explain to me how this parking brake cable setup is supposed to work? I've just replaced the drum shoes (what a PITA!) but there's a lot of slack in the cables so I'm thinking I need to replace those as well. But looking at the picture, I can't even see how they are supposed...

So the A/C has never worked on my ST. I caved in to the heat today and thought maybe I'd try a recharge with Red Tek 12a. According to their info, pressure on the low side should be around 38psi when the job's done. When I connected the gauge to to the coupler though, it shot all the way up to...

I have a '04 ST V6 4x4 LTD. Axle code is D2 which I know means it's a 4.10 Limited Slip Differential. What does that mean with regards to towing capacity? I hear everything from 3500lb up top 7160lb depending on tow package. How can I tell if I have the package which gives me max towing capacity?

I checked the level on my rear diff and its low. The manual says I should add one of two types of oil depending on axle type. Mine is a D2, which is limited slip. Is that the same as Traction-Loc? Should I use the synthetic oil? If so, when topping up do I need to put in more additive?

OK, I'm an idiot. I won't bore you with the details, but whilst working on my new baby (03 Sport Trac XLT) I managed to go and puncture the A/C condenser. End result, a puddle of red oil all over the garage floor. It looks like an easy replacement with only two hoses coming out of the bottom of...
