THANKS ErnieX I think I finally got it fixed!! Been tapping on clutch off and on while doing all the other stuff. Finally in a fit of desperation, I got an 8 ounce ball peen hammer and gave it a love tap and got engagement. Pressure dropped to around 25. Comp off, pressure rises past 60...

I checked out my fan by sticking a rolled up newspaper into it. Didn't even slow the fan down that I could tell. I tried jumping each switch separately after compressor had shut down. Neither one would make compressor engage. I did disconnect each switch separately while compressor was...

I have used Chevron gasoline, off and on for 25+ years and always found it to be a great fuel in any vehicle I drove. Up until this year, I have used either BP or Chevron 98% of the time. Now, the last three times I have filled up with Chevron gas, my Explorer will not start the next...

Steering Knuckle Question Now another question: I finally got around to taking the steering knuckles off. Is there supposed to be some kind of seal, packing, or gasket type thing around the CV joint cover, like where it goes into the back of the knuckle?? If mine had one, it is non-existent...
