I had a local mechanic install a new alternator that I provided the parts on. Asked him for estimate for labor. Long story short, he forgot I was providing the parts and bought an expensive alternator and Installed It. When I went to pick it up found out what he had done and he had to remove...

Has anyone installed a dash cam with a wired rear camera on a '07 or later Trac? I'm fixing to and looking for wisdom. Oldtimer

Thanks Todd. I finally got it on so if anyone has trouble in the future with this the attachment behind the seat is the last not the first one to connect. Jim

I couldn't find where anyone has addressed this in projects so I'll just ask. Has anyone had to replace the 10 way power seat trim panel on a Gen II? I guess I'm getting old(just 78) but I'm having difficulty getting the new panel back in place. I know there is an order in which you're...

Thanks Rich, sounds good. I just hope I can find something to put on it to remove or coverup the stickiness so everything that touches it won't stick to it. Jim

Ok, I'm not loosing my mind I don't think. I cleaned the inside of my windshield with a mixture of 1 cup distilled white vinegar, 2 pints of distilled water and a couple of drops of Dawn dish detergent. Upon finishing, I decided to also clean my dash surfaces. Luckily I only did the top panel...

Excellent write up on the Trans-pan change but then what would I expect from an old Instrumentation Tech. jim:banana::banana::banana:

Thanks for the imput, I went to Oreilly's & they looked it up and said it was called a strut stabilizer. I got 2 of them for under $33.00. Thanks again. jim

Hey guys & gals. I have developed a rather loud metallic rattleing noise in my undercarriage. I have banged on everything I can find to bang on with my large leather mallet with no success untill today. I was under the rear rechecking the strut/spring assemblies without any success when I...

I have an exteneder left over from my 2005 and it works fine in my '07.

Hey Y'all, my '07 Ltd. has the 6 disk cd/radio in it with Sirus. No navigation. Is there any gps in my vehicle from the factory if so equipped? Thanks for your help, Jim
