do you think my paint stripper heat gun would work ilo of a propane torch?

I had similar issue. Jacked up front of truck. put second jack under the lower wish bone to relieve the pressure on front suspension (one side at a time). TOP control arm main bolts left and right side. 21 MM. Loosed a bit and retorked to 98lbs. All sounds stopped. I also used MOOG on...

2 steps forward, 3 steps back. You'll love this..my new SPECTRA radiator from Autozone. Having issues with maintaining coolant level and reservoir not moving in level. I dug around this morning and found the FACTORY never drilled through the coolant overflow line INTO the radiator neck below...

thanks for advice - will keep on it.

what a mess. everything back together. shifts fine and runs cool. Bottom tranny line into the radiator leaking a bit - always did. Leaks worse now. I'll have to figure something out there. I flushed coolant best I could by cutting heater hose and forcing garden hose into both ends. I...

I think the tranny is ok..needs fluid for sure. I think the tranny fluid leaked into the radiator and not the reverse or at least minimum. I drive short distances and has been shifting fine until a day or two ago when I noticed some slipping due to the low fluid level. I drained what I could...

I noticed my engine coolant has gotten "oily" and turned red. Today my tranny started to slip when cold and when I checked oil level it was basically non existant but still shifted fine when warmed up. I just tranned the tranny to put a new filter in. Noticed the fluid looks like a...

ok...asked Autozone about the fan clutch - they actually have a kit to remove the fan clutch for Fords that closely matches the factory tools. Not a big deal after all. $163 for new radiator. Fit like a glove. $25 to get the two tools in a "kit" - have 30 days to return and get full $25...

So I'm watering my lawn with green water right now. Radiator has a leak. I have a 2003 sport trac with factory manual. It says you have to remove the fan shroud and to do so remove the fan/clutch. The directions call for two "special" tools. The description and pictures in manual suck. I...

So I've got the 6 CD player with the CD player not working. I've ran diagnostics. Disconnected battery, etc., etc. Its the drive gear thing that breaks I believe. I think all these radios eventually get this and I have 6 discs stuck in there. My question - is has anyone successfully...

yeah..its weird. Only during the summer and only in afternoons. Very annoying. When you hit the key fob - no sounds - no nothing - its as if the key fob has no battery in it but than it works again later when it cools down a bit. I'm in Tampa, FL. The door keypad works fine and if I...

I too struggled for hours (twice) trying to get filter off. My brother (a GM mechanic) came over one time and climbed under truck and had it off in 15 seconds. One, hes twice as strong as me but he just had some factory disconnect tools with him - good quality Snap On type of stuff. The crap...

I've had a consistent problem for several years on my 2003 Sport Trac. As soon as summer hits (I live in Florida) and the truck gets physically hot just sitting in the parking lot like from 12:00 - 3:00 the automatic door locks don't work. The door key pad works and the key in the lock works...

Yes - Sold - thanks for all the replies -love this web site.

Hi - I converted my 2003 sport trac back to stock for trade in reasons only. I'd like to sell my three upgrades as a package. I'd like to sell my FIPK KN 57-2529-1. Performance intake kit. Increases horsepower 4-8 HP and fuel economy. Probably have about 50K on it. Its a passive...

interesting...I replaced the oxygen sensors - upstream - two of them with Bosch with OE connectors, etc. Not motorcrafts but I'm told Bosch makes a great sensor. They seemed to work fine. I did not replace the one after the CAT. The web sites say their are "two" but I could only see the...

plugs have about 35K on them. I installed at stock gap - probably around .054 for all of them. New pugs are set at .053 right now and are OEM Motorcrafts. Could the demon coil act different on one side? Engine has never overheated and runs very cool - no issues there. On my idle...

2003 sport trac 4L. ok - I've been chasing a "missing" or "burp" in my engine for a while now. Misses every time a/c cycles , put in / out of gear, press on gas first time, etc. Just a little burp. Previous post said to go back to stock so I took my demon coil and put stock back in -...

all good suggestions - I'm hesitant on a few items because the "hick up" or "burp" as I call it was before and after the plugs and new coil. New plugs are fairly cheap - I have my old ones still so I will get the exact original model which is AGSF-22F-M (SP-500). But yes - my next step is to...

oh yeah...no codes...no pending codes are present either. Just runs like crap.
