    Time to say good-bye and thank you so much...

    Well, I rescued her, fixed anything and everything, all while doing preventative work. Added about 150 miles (sick, I know) in just over two years of ownership. Now she sits in stunning condition, both inside and out; detailed meticulously outside, in the cabin, under the hood and...

    Where to start on a B1342 code

    After searching here, I see a B1342 (ABS module) code conjoined with several other codes that I don't have so it gets confusing as to what's up. 2003 3.9l w/ 54K no rust NC car. I do get a P2106 (throttle body control) but believe I am supposed to address the B1342 first. Just did a full set...

    Beautiful day, but.... what the?

    Okay, bit the bullet and ordered factory upper and lower rear control arms. Everything looks good but what do you guys think about this line that looks like a crack in the casting? It's not an excess slag line, it looks like a crack running pretty deep from what I can tell. I can send it back...

    No tranny filter replacement on a flush???

    Dealer will do a tranny flush using BG machine and BG fluid. I've looked at several threads but haven't found a firm answer to this: Why would you do a machine flush and not drop the pan (inspect) and replace the filter? Dealer says they don't drop the pan. I'm willing to pay the $ for the...

    Identify these coils

    Going to change the VCG's and was wondering what coils are in the car. All work was done at a Lincon dealer but are those coils FoMoCo? Of the 8, five look original to the car and they are all dark headed coils with no stickers and have a "FWV4A" stamped on the head along with the part number...

    Any interest in hard copy shop manuals etc anymore?

    Is there any value to hard copy Ford manuals? I have a friend that has a Ford dealership and he has repair manuals, EVTM's, trans repair, parts catalogs, service bulletins from the 60's on up. All Ford stuff. I know it's Ford but it is a general question if you guys think there is value in...

    Anybody use a Motive self brake bleeder

    If yes, what size fits ours? I can't find the correct cap. Maybe I need to look under the Jag S series? Also, I may have an issue. I had to move the car and use the pedal before I had fluid in the calipers (front). Really had to lay into the pedal to get it to even drag. When I put new...

    Installing rear swaybar & lateral links

    All around this on my search so maybe you guys recall a link: 1) Replacing my four items stated above (rear swaybar and lateral links). Do I put the car on jack stands with the wheels hanging or do I use ramps with the vehicle weight on the suspension? My plan was to use jack stands at the...

    Is there a torque specification page?

    Title pretty much says it. I'm doing suspension work specifically and have done a few searches for the torque specs. Is there a thread you guys recall (on here)? Tire rods, control arms, struts, sway bar links... front, back. Of course, wheel lugs would be good to know also. Thanks.
