Aside from a whining throw out bearing, my '93 ex is making a "wobble" noise right before I have to shift into second. I am also noticing it as I shift into third. This all happens before I throw the clutch in. The noise is also noticable when I shift from second to first and the revs...

Does such an animal exist? I have a '93 XLT with a manual that I enjoy, but I may have my eyes on a later model X in the new year. Are there any Sport Tracs or 2000 or later trucks out there with a manual trans? Cheers

Over the weekend I gave my 93 XLT a good vacuum and steam cleaning so I disconnected my battery in order to work on the vehicle with the all the doors open if need be. Just after re-connecting the battery and trying to start the truck I heard the starter tick a couple of times and it...

I have some unusual tire wear on my front driver side tire. The outside edge of the tire is balding pretty fierce!! I suspect my ball joints are going, I get some wobble when I am travelling at highway speeds and notice some "play" when I make a sharp turn on some occassions....any...

I'm planning on installing a new CD player for my '93 X this weekend. I am not much of an audio guy, but I am sure I can manage to install a new unit if I take my time. Are there any things I have to look out for? I was told not to buy a radio puller and use some coat hanger wire and bend...

I have to get my front U-Joints replaced whenever possible. How long can I go with seized front U-Joints? Has anyone brought their EX to a mechanic to get the work done? I would like to know how many hours I should expect to be charged for labour. I would love to do the work myself, but...

I can't help but cringe every time I pull my boat out of the water at a launch. Some launches are terribly steep and taxing on my clutch. The truck pulls the boat and trailer out, but there is a stench of burnt clutch everytime I do so. I discussed the matter with my mechanic and he...

I just got my Ex back from the mechanic. It was making the dreaded clunking noise on turns and occasionally under hard braking or over bumps. I had the radius arm bushings replaced, but I can still hear the clunk! The truck steers and handles great with the new bushings, but I want to get rid...

I have a ’93 XLT with the removable moon roof. I bought the truck used, but I found out that there should be a bag to place the glass panel, and a shade that screws in covering the panel. Is it possible to get these items from an aftermarket supplier, or do I have to buy these items from the...

I'm getting my mechanic to replace my radius arm bushings next week. I was going to attempt the work myself, but I dont have the right tools to take the rivets out of the crossmember. Has anyone sent their truck to a mechanic to have the work done? I would like to get an indication of how...

My '93 X has been making some terrible clunking noises when I turn left (mostly into my driveway). I also hear the clunks on some right turns, but not as often. Also, I am getting a weird groaning or whirring sound when the truck is idle, it kind of switched from a whir or groan to a screach...
