    stubby 6mm hex

    Get the thin cut off wheel for your angle grinder and it will cut any type of steel. I have cut off allen wrenches and drill bits with no problem. Make sure you have a good eye shield.

    Blinking third brake light

    I didn't know the mustangs had them. I guess I will have to do some investagating on this one. Maybe it will be going back to blinking.

    Blinking third brake light

    Did the third brake light project on my 01 back in 01. ( third brake light blinks when brakes are applied.) I have driven some 40k sense then and had hundreds of cops behind me seeing it blink without a problem. This week the blue and red lights were flashing behind me. Cop said my brake light...

    Todd, keypad lock

    Todd, you said if you lock your truck with the keys in it and running the key pad dosn't work. I never knew that so I tried mine today. Left the truck running and locked the doors. Punched in the code and the truck unlocked. Mine is a 2001, job 2. So this may not be the case with all model...

    Need help with DRLs

    There is no sensor that I know of. When the key is in the run position the DRLs are on. This truck started out to be built for Canada, thats why it has DRLs. They are required there. Maybe some of our friends up north may know where the module is located. If anyone has a wireing diagram for an...

    My 2-3 flare solved

    If you have no engine braking in first gear the gasket on the valve body is shot. The pressure is blowing by and not letting your transmission down shift. You can also tell by driving in first gear and letting off the gas. The engine should pull your speed down. If the truck just slows down like...

    Need help with DRLs

    I know very few of you have DRLs but maybe someone could help. My 2001 came with factory DRLs.They just started flickering for a while before they would come on. Now nothing happens for a while, then they start flickering and then come on. Each time the cycle takes longer. My headlights work...

    Why blaim him?

    This is an email I received, take it for what it's worth. Don't want to start another political debate here, but it seems there is plenty of blame to go around. Folks: Thanks to Bill Bell, a friend and former military officer for sending the following message from a retired Sergeant...

    Head count, XCAL-II, how many backed out of a purchase

    I was thinking about getting one because of the good things I heard about them on this site. But after some of these problems started to arise I decided it was something I could live without. Kind of made my mind up for me. Now its a thing of the past and I no longer want one.

    Fuel Filter??

    I had mine changed at Ford and two mechanics fooled with it for 25 minutes. This is with the ST on the hoist. They said about 20% of them don't want to come off. It cost me 50.00 total for the filter and labor. I almost did it myself, but I was in for a tranny flush and they said the filter...

    Any Pit Bull Owners?

    A neighbor has had one for six years. A family pet that has been as nice as can be. One day the adult son that still lived home was helping his mother with dishes and they started playing around with the dish towels, swinging them at each other. The dog took this as an act of aggression against...

    Fuel Filter trouble

    The labor charge to replace it at my local Ford Dealer was $25.00. I am glad I had them do it. The mechanic tried to remove it for about 15 minutes. He then went and got another mechanic and after about 5 more minutes they got it off. They said every so often they get one like that.
