I have a pretty much stock 94 XLT. I hate the bucket seats, I mean HATE them. Besides the cloth covering (puke), they're worn & mushy, and the back doesn't sit up straight enough for me ... this matters: my back's bad. Enough grousing ... has anybody junked the Ford OEM seats and found...

Well, I gotta admit I'm pretty frustrated. I'm just starting to reassemble the rear R drum brake. I'm early in the installation. Got the secondary shoe on, put on the primary (rear) shoe, and then realized I hadn't connected the parking brake cable to the lever. OK, remove primary shoe, and then...

I just ran SeaFoam (as described in many threads here) thru the brake booster vacuum line last week. I wanted to do the TB so that I'd get all the cylinders, but I didn't wanna invest the time in disconnecting the IAC (1st Gen), so I just settled for hitting the rearward cylinders thru the brake...

Just registered a few days ago, thought I'd put up my virgin (#1) post. A couple of weeks ago, I became the 3rd owner of a '94 XLS with 115K miles on it. I just got through doing the immediate "new/used car" work (brakes, lights, etc) and have been taking great advice out of this forum...
