I thought of doing that but I didn't want to do this repair over and over. Most people on forums usually have those reman motors fail shortly after installing.

My front wiper motor gave out after 19 years, motor part # was 2l2f-17d539-ad. Decided to replace entire motor and transmission, (Linkage). Dorman part # 602-040AS was an easy solution and was a direct swap. Truck only has 56xxx miles and worth keeping a little longer. Wanted to give back to...

I had a gates thermostat fail in the open position in about one year, poor heat, replaced with a Stant stat and haven't had a problem since. Your stat may not have been opening fully causing high idle.

I would check into fuel pressure regulator located under plastic intake manifold. I have a 2005 4.0l and I had to replace mine early on. Might be a TSB also. Good luck.

Make sure lower hose is not collapsing when you are driving especially if radiator is partially clogged. Check if Clutch fan has slight resistance when spun on cold engine that's not running. I had bad luck with a brand new gates stat,had to pull it and replace with a stant 195.

Starting with engine cold,start engine and let it fast idle for 90 seconds. Shut off engine and get under truck at rear of engine and look up with strong flashlight. Your looking for coolant dripping down or greenish/yellow stains.By running for 90 sec,you are pressuring coolant system but...

Had monroe 58617 installed last summer to fix rear end sag.Truck sits level and somewhat higher. first two weeks,the ride was stiff and i was starting to wonder if I made the right move. After two weeks ,things started to ease up some and the ride got acceptable. This is on a 2000 4 door with...

don't feel bad,my handle cracked at the screw and is hanging from the cable. I w:thumbdwn:as still under warranty but service writer told me that it would not be covered since he determined the part was not defective.So in other words I must have broke it.He quoted me $17 for part and a "couple...

thanks for quick reply gijoecam,did the replacement seal stop all of the leaks on your hatch.

Hello to all,had a lot of rain thursday and I noticed that hatch glass along the top was leaking in four places.water was coming in so much that it was puddling on the cargo cover.Has anyone been able to adjust hatch glass for a tighter fit or know of a good site to order a replacement seal.Thanks.

sounds like symptoms of a fram oil filter installed.use FL1A only.

Hello to all.I am having a common problem it seems w/my 05 fuel guage and it's inaccurate readings.Has anyone given thought to the idea of installing an autometer or other aftermarket guage in a 'A' piller pod and be done with the problem.It's seems ford is jerking a lot of owners around and not...

ryde or die-I would check your rear driveshaft U joint for excessive play and wear before doing more expensive tranny work.Later. :us:

dreamcargt-You could try cleaning MAF wire with brake cleaner.I think there is a Ford TSB on the subject about aftermarket air filters which use oil and that a light film of oil on wire will cause improper PCM readings.Ford advises not to use any filter that uses oil.Make sure engine is not...

Icepounder-I"ll save you the trouble,there are only those 5 wires coming out of the top of TOD.You tapped the correct wire but my switch only glows dimly in auto,a little brighter in 4WD and very bright only when axle slips or I floor gas pedal.Wire is 16 rather then 14 gauge.My only guess to...

Brian B-I own an 00 4DR with sport pkg.With the P255 tires you get 4:10 open rear axle ratio. :us:

minimagpro-take your xlt to a ford dealer right away before you cause more harm,It will be fixed free of charge,under warranty.You will need a shift solonoid replaced and an additive added to your existing fluid to keep problem from recurring.Make sure you describe the delayed reverse engagement...

It is really simply to get the dash off.Remove the 2 7mm bolts above heater control.then insert 2 wide putty knives left and right of radio, slide them behind bezel and pull foward together.radio,lighter and switches will come out all at once.I found it easier to unscrew 4wd switch rather then...

I installed the switch two day ago,it definitely works and I was able to spin the truck around in 2WD with all the snow and ice we had in nyc.30A lighted autozone switch barely lights up in Auto setting until you floor it or front slips then light gets much brighter momentarily.In High setting...

Thanks for the quick responses,I did search for info about doing this and read every topic about where to tap wire.At first the yellow wire was the wire to cut, then brown wire under driver seat, then it was said that the wire originated behind R/S of dash next to airbag.Unsure as to why I had...

:us: I performed this mod today,tapped brown wire behind the radio where I believe is the TOD relay.Question:TOD relay had part #F87B-2C222-AB,did a part search on genuine ford parts and # did not come up.Was this the TOD relay?Had 5 wires connected with black plug,2 Lt.Bl/Bk,1brn,1Blk,1...

If water pump age is not known or is original you may want to swap out since old worn out pumps cannot move enough coolent at higher rpm's.Also new coolent ,192F thermostat and 16lb radiator cap.Pressure wash radiator from back to front.check acc. belt for glazing which is caused from slippage...

Question to everyone out there that has performed 00M12 themselves.I have an 00 explorer with 18000 miles that has the cold idle cold weather surging.I do not have the tensioner problem at this time so I was not going to do it.Has anyone used fel-pro ms90890 gaskets instead of the kit from...

I have a 2000 4 door xlt with the sport group pkg.It came with a higher ride height (TT&longer shackels)from the factory.The right front sits 3/4" higher then the left front and the front is 1" higher then the back.Today I adjusted the torsion bolts,loosening the pass.side 2 turns and tightening...
