    ac fuse blows after a few minutes.

    F1 AC clutch fuse flows after running ac for a few minutes. Does fuse protect anything besides ac clutch? Where could I find a schematic for this circuit? 2001 3.9 L V8. Thanks in advance. Ben

    Battery charge life.

    Approximately how long should an 01 3.9 L battery keep enough charge to start car after sitting. Fully charged battery will only last about 9 days until down to about 11.5 to 12.0 volts. Haven't been able to find any major drain problems. Approx. what should the amp drain be when car is asleep?

    Gen1 3.9 O2 sensors

    Are all four oxygen sensors the same part #? Some list them with the same part number for upstream and downstream and some manufacturers list them as different numbers. Is the Bosch 15717 a good choice and will they work in all locations? Thanks, Ben

    windshield replacement

    I have an 01 LS with a cracked windshield. Found one from an 02 in a pick and pull yard. What is best way to remove the windshield? I will have it installed in my car by a glass co. Mine has rain-sensing wipers, does the 02 have that feature or does it not matter on the windshield? Ben Hess

    What is a good way to hold pulley from turning when trying to loosen the bolt? Have the crank positioning tool but don't think it is a good idea to use that. Any ideas besides removing starter and trying to hold flywheel? Ben
