    Anyone used Dorman Anti-Rattle Kit

    My liftgate is rattling a bit and was searching for new rubber bumpers, when I found this kit. Search forums and nothing came up. Has anyone installed this and had success? http://www.dormanproducts.com/itemdetail.aspx?ProductID=15607&SEName=38424

    Clutch Pedal Pad Replacement

    Has anybody had to replace the clutch pedal pad on their ex? If so where did you get the part? I'm having a hard time finding a part number for a 1996. It appears the same size as the one on the brake pedal. When I look on RockAuto they only have the brake pedal pad for an automatic...

    Replaced Head Gaskets got some codes.

    Exploder, 1996 4.0 OHV, is running, but rough idle. New gaskets up top, pretty sure I did everything right. Pulled codes P303 (cylinder 3 misfire) and P141 (O2 Sensor). Spark plug is new. Wire isn't that old maybe 20,000 miles on it. Coil pack worked before I started the job. Before I start...

    Thermostat Housing Question

    I am replacing my thermostat housing on my 1996 Ex and I had a leak coming out of the seam on my old thermostat housing. I ordered a new one from RockAuto and the O.D. on the tube where it enters the upper rad hose is smaller than the stock O.D. (sorry didn't have calipers to measure exact). My...

    Anyone Replaced a Rag Joint??

    My rag joint at the steering box is loose and looks pretty worn. I have bought another rag joint and wanted to know if there are any special tools that I need or suggestions on putting it on? It looks pretty straight forward, but you never know. Thanks.

    Can You Adjust Steering Play???

    Last weekend, put in new bearings and races. Wheels felt nice and tight up and down. When I grabbed the tire from side to side I noticed that there was a lot of play. I did not put the car down and check the tie rods properly, but will do that. However, when I did the same check on the driver...

    Help diagnosing rough idle.

    Wife's came home last weekend and engine had a rough idle. I scanned the motor KOEO and pulled a Code 157 MAF sensor. I replaced the MAF sensor and the code went away. Ran a scan KOEO & KOER and pulled no codes. Rough idle continues, so I inspect IAC which was replaced a couple of years ago...

    Where's the Cheapest OEM parts?

    My Explorer just fried the p/s pump. I bought a rebuilt from Carquest. 3 weeks later, I am replacing that. Thinking I should go new. Does anybody know who sells Ford parts cheap? Prefer local (So. Cal), but internet will work. Thanks, Matt:cool:

    Shifting Problems

    Wife came home today and drove me around in her Limited. Car would rev up and not shift into second. I checked fluid and it was fine. I drove the beast around and noticed that if you backed off the gas while it was revving that it would shift up, unless you punched it too hard, then it would...
