sealed bearings. timing chains...when you start to hear the "timing tick" (usually at cold start) the clock is ticking.

expect to change all of the wheel bearings. get a good brand. the cheaper shop brand don't seem to hold up well, its worth the money up front to not have to change them three or four times. check your rear struts, the springs tend to break. i had broken springs on three of the four corners...

Unless you have other worn parts you should just need an alignment.

Sounds like your tie rod needs to be checked. Also make sure they changed the bearing with the hub. Have to assume they did but....stranger things have happened. As for the screech you should have the e brake checked. It all gets taken apart to do the bearing and hub. If it wasn't put back...

It's not really a big deal to do. You may need to un bolt a couple things for clearance. I want to say I didn't need to on the fronts. I don't remember on the rear. Fairly straight forward. Air tools help bunches.

I had a high idle issue with my 02 4.0. Check to see if yours has a throttle cable of if it's all by wire. Mine still had a cable that the inner liner had come loose and had bunched up behind the pedal, preventing the pedal from returning to idle position. I figured it out by getting...

I was having a high idle issue with heavy downshifts. immediately thought IAC. went and got a BW from advanced auto and it didn't fix the issue, worse, now my truck was throwing trouble codes. Pulled off the Borg Warner and put on a new Morotcraft. (Yes motorcraft is the way to go) MOtorcraft...

crank shaft position sensor will shut your truck off. if its just starting to go out it can be intermittant.

im not doing anything tremendous. just swapping out the stock head unit with a sony unit. have the wiring harness that is supposed to go with my truck. it has 4 pigtails on it. i realize that some of them go to the premium sound connectors. the truck has two pigtails one with power and...

the temp sensor and or thermostat is a different idea. i will look into those as well. thanks for the ideas. with regards to how long it takes to warm up, it doesn't seem to take too long.

alright, let me see if i can address all the questions, -i thought of the fan clutch, was one of the first things i changed, i don't think it was a severe duty. -i am doing the fuel filter and servicing front and rear diffs this weekend -will check the throttle body for build up, and elbow...

swapped the fan clutch when i bought the truck. no difference.

yes its the loud fan noise. no i don't have a heavy foot. mine is also a 4x4. so having the pcm flashed will fix the issue?

i have a 2002 xls 4.0, about 150,000 on the clock. have been getting 10-11 mpg. new plugs, fluids, clean air filter, new fluids in the front and rear dif, transmission serviced, pcv valve replaced... anyone have any ideas. no real idle issues, transmission shifts ok. i should be driving an...

Just thought i would say hello. I drive an 02 Ex. XLS. picked it up a few months ago.
