SOOOOOOOOO, could this be the cats?

Two major repairs, P0171 and P0174 AGAIN!!!! Alright, I've looked at a number of the threads for these codes and know they're are quite troublesome. Here's what was done just 1,000 miles ago. Fuel injectors cleaned Intake manifold gasket replaced Fuel rail gasket replaced Injector seals...

Just got my antenna. Great seller, good communication. A+++++++++ and all that and the bag of chips. Thanks!

I've noticed how the Lincoln Navigators have power rear quarter panel windows. I'm just curious if anyone has tried this modification and if not, what the experts think my chances are of making it work. I would be using the stock Lincoln accuator and probably some sort of aftermarket switch...

This was sent out to our department and it's got some good info so I thought I'd share... What follows is an email sent out to my FD. Some interesting info for first responders and gearheads. FIREFIGHTER WARNING RE: CHEVROLET EQUINOX FUEL CELL Beginning Back in September, 2007...

I did several searches. Honest I did, but nothing seemed to answer my question. How do I interrupt the door open chime? What I would like to do is install a switch that I can flip if I have the door open and the key in the ignition. I know that it is part of the Crown Vic Police Interceptor...

I was moving the socket for my trailer lights plug to a spot in my bumper this weekend and I wanted to paint the area around the hole I cut as there was bare metal. So, I took a chance and got some Rustoleum Flat Black Paint. It was a PERFECT match. So perfect you can't tell where I stopped...

In doing my leaf spring/shock replacements, my rear axel is now a couple inches too far back. Fortunately, its still in alignment. How do I fix this? :banghead: Note, I only have two jack stands and the stock bottle jack. I do however have all the sockets as well as rachet straps. Thanks!

No longer 911, now just the bolt holding on the shackle is siezed. I broke the bottom bolt that holds the rear shock to the spring plate. What size is this bolt? Where can I go to find this? Will a Lowes/Home Depot bolt be strong enough?

I've been spraying penetrating rust eating stuff on all the bolts for 2 days now, I have my tools, the shocks are here and pick up the leaf-springs and shackles tomorrow morning. I've studied my Haynes manual and the forum of course and I think I'm ready. Wish me luck. I'll post pics and a...

2000 sport. Mono leafs and 4 door leaf packs are the same length, right? Guy at the stealership seems to think differently. Thank you!

Hey everybody! I'm going to get rid of the old lean/squat that my Ex has had for the longest time and put in a set of door leaf springs. While I'm at it, I'm replacing the shocks as well. I got a set of Rancho RSX17000s for $191.72 shipped at Summit Racing. Anyway, my question is this...

FIXED!!!! Thanks to Dan for his response and to all on the forum for the information contained within. Removing the intake plenum to replace gaskets and plugs/wires. This piece is stopping me and I can't figure out how to disconnect. Help!

Alright, well the cold and my health have forced me to hold off on my full tune-up, but my X is having problems. For a couple weeks prior, I was experiencing a very rough idle at start-up and some hesitation when cold. Fine in the higher rpms and when cruising. On Tuesday, I threw a CEL. I...

Doing a tune-up this weekend and that includes changing plugs and wires. I have the elbows, wobbles and beer to help me through the plug portion. I've also made sure that the little kids in my area will be safely stowed away at parks and shopping malls so that the profanity that is sure to...

Daddy like! :thumbsup: :notworthy: :party: http://www.trucktrend.com/autoshows/coverage/163_2007_sema/2008_toyota_tundra_diesel_dually_project_vehicle.html

This is a recap of my previous posts, but things have quickly worsened as you will soon read. While driving yesterday, my battery light came on and the volt gauge was reading low. It happened at highway speeds and after driving for about 15 minutes. The light went out and the gauge returned to...

Here is a link for what appears to be all the TSB's for the Ford Explorer... and other vehicles I imagine. http://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Explorer/2000/tsbs.shtml You can change the year in the URL to find the correct year for your vehicle. The list only gives summaries of the problem...

"Ford Motor Company today became the world’s first automaker to set a land speed record for a production-based fuel cell powered car, racing to 207.297 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover, Utah in a specially-designed Ford Fusion...."...

Well, it will probably be a year or so before I can actually drive it myself. But I'm now a member of the Providence Volunteer Fire Company and I definitely be riding in it amongst our other units. :D

The bottom (and likely the whole) left side of my driver's seat is about an inch further back. It still reclines and goes forward without problems, but it does get uncomfortable on longer drives. I've included a picture, but I'm not sure if it shows the problem very well. Is there a...

Well, my Sport suffers from the common problem of a sagging rear-end and I was going to adjust the T-Bars, but decided against because, 1) The height difference is about 2" and I couldn't quite get that much adjustment, 2) I've heard that the 4 Door Leaf Springs are better, and 3) It's a truck...

My HU comes with a remote control that I decided to flush mount in the armrest of the center console. I cut out the vinyl and foam today and created a tunnel for the remote signal. I also put a lens in the front of the armrest to make it look clean. I'd rate the look of the project a 6.5...

I'm wondering if my CV joints are shot...or perhaps if I have another issue. If I'm in 4 HI or 4 Low and try to turn somwhat sharply, I can definitely feel the wheels skipping. Is this the CV's going bad? If not, what might it be? What is the lifespan for an Explorer CV anyway? :scratch...

Restore Engine Treatment -- Is it any good? I have 115K on my 4.0 OHV. Good stories? Horror stories?
