A driveshaft needs to have play to compensate for the movement of the engine and or the frame along with other items that do flex. I will say it should be OK with 1/8" or so, meaning I don't think that is your noise. Your noise, does it happen while driving or when you start out? Did you...

The "Stop" feature is mandated by the EPA in their rules for a "cleaner environment" so the dealer cannot eliminate it without a violation. It is like removing a seatbelt, that is a NO-NO. That said, you can purchase a FORSCAN tool on AMAZON and they are less than $100 for a good one. Then...

You should have the "skid plate" under your car, am I right? Even the felt ones I mean? Now if you do have a small leak, the protection plates will in fact catch the drip in your garage so you won't see it. You would need to park without those to see the leak, however if the tech at Ford...

Backup about 18" and take another photo. Are you speaking about the "white line" the length of your windshield or just the small circle stone chip? Also, I can see what appears to be a "sensor with wires" in the photo by the steering wheel. Is that something else? Show a shot of the seat as...

Wabbits? Where? Which way did they go?

I agree with you Tom. Just a thought that if the coolant passages had sand, then perhaps the "engine block bath" was not good enough for all "cracks and crevesses" as is said, but you are correct.

36K on my 22 BS Big Bend when the pump started to leak and had to be replaced. Now for the reason, if it were "sand" I would expect other internal pumps to fail as well as the Valves, Rings, Lifters and ect. Next sand would "scar" the Cylinder walls and the engine would seep oil and smoke in...

I don't know if this is right or wrong, but here it goes. Make sure you hook up the cables according to the owners manual, meaning in the right order. Place the Hot cable on the battery first, then hook up the Ground cable. Once completed, follow the Battery Management steps in the manual...

I have sent you a Private Message regarding your install. Thanks

That will make a "Battery Change" an easy job, Hell you can see the Hold Down Bolt in the photo. Maybe someone realized that most batteries are change outside of a Ford Service Department. LOL

Complaining to FORD is a waste of time. I did that, they then simply passed it to the local Dealer who told me to "NEVER" come back for anything again. He said they had a sign that said they could "Refuse Service to Anyone" and he didn't need the DRAMA. By the way my BS had about 5K on it...

Just thought I would give you my tip. My son is a pilot and works on some things, but he is "above" an oil filter. He flies Up and Down the East coast for his regular run with his base in DC. Lives in Minneapolis and commutes. Rough life. LOL Good luck.

Mark S., if you want a simple way to keep the oil filter from running down to your arm pit and don't want to "hammer" a hole in it, then simply use a "ZIP LOCK BAG", a One Quart size works. Open the bag, slide it up over the filter and finish twisting off the filter. I have even used a filter...

Most leaks from coolant come from Pressure forcing it out. You need to have a test run on the coolant system. Doing this as a DIY is somewhat risking. You would get the engine HOT and then look for a "stream of mist" in the area you already suspect. It must be HOT to create the pressure that...

The "reset" of the battery is simply telling the Computer how to charge and handle the NEW battery. Being new, it may not need charged as much as your old battery did. Look in the Owners Manual and be sure you do this. It is simple and takes about 10 minutes if you do it right. You can do it.

I bought through Granger Ford as well and only pay $2100 with zero inerest for 24 months for the 5 year/100K. I am in New Mexico, but saved almost 2K by going to Granger. Good Luck

I have placed mine on the rear roof for best reception. I have a magnetic and placed it about 3 inches to the side of the factory radio antenna. I then routed the coax to the rear hatch and followed it to the bottom corner. Using colored Duct Tape to secure it in the channel to that corner...

Looking for where you are. Your profile shows Green Valley, south of Tucson, but your one post says you are up North near Vegas or Kingman. I am in New Mexico so south would be a good place to pick up. lol Where are you and the current price for all five tires and wheels. Thanks. You can...

Great. I hope it is a cure for you. In 1970 I worked for Ford and the T-Bird was the first with standard Disc Brakes. Well they would squeel if the car sat in the drive overnight after a drive home in light snow. Light melting snow caused more sand to be sent around the rotors, so when the...
