120048 is the miles. Had the valve cover gasket replaced a while ago and is not leaking from that location. I originally had 4 oil leaks. PVC hose, valve cover, a seal (can't rememeber but is was in the front of the engine), now the pan what it looks like. The pan bolts are covered in oil.

Checked it out and no. This has me stumped because the trans bolts that screw just above the oil pan are covered in motor oil.

I have the pcv tube and valve cover replaced which stopped one oil leak but I have new drips on the ground in 2 spots both sides of the oil pan. The bolts on the back side were loose so I tighted them and it's still leak from that location. Now the question is I've been told the rear main could...

Hey Alex, What part of Michigan are you from? I'm in the metro Detroit area.

Confirmed the hose was plugged/wrapped. Not sure why but replaced the hose which wrapped around the back and passenger side of the engine. PVC is tight but does wiggle slightly in the valve cover. Is this normal? I did have a dealer put dye in the system to trace down a possible cause to...

I can confirm the seal on the PCV is spraying oil everywhere. Running down all over the valve cover so that is a confirmed issue. Now what I can't tell is if the locking tabs are broken. When I had a deal service the PCV at the dealer, it wasn't leaking but I'm hoping that is the issue and...

Well the PCV valve is very loose. Wiggling freely, but hoses are connected. I'm not sure if the main seal on the rear of the engine is leaking.

Ill pick some up at the dealer if possible. The PCV value ill try to, my fear is the cover is cracked.

I'm having a serious oil leak. This AM, noticed a spot on the ground the size of a basketball. Trac was a full quart low. I traced 2 possibly 3 leaks, but the PVC valve is leaking for sure. Was changed about a year ago by a deal but hasn't leaked until late. Then, from what I can tell is...

It's been a few weeks. Usually use it to defrost. So I engaged it this am and it turned on very quickly and off just as fast. Probably a leak in the system.

I'm having an issue with the A/C Compressor. I went to defrost it today and I began to get a metallic burning order. So I pulled over a noticed the compressor was not turning. I turned on the A/C and still nothing. The clutch does spin when using your hand. When I engaged A/C the air did...

Hmmm, I'm wondering if this could be related. I'll have to dig into this further tonight. Thanks for the feedback Richard L.

Quick question, an intermittent issue has turned into a failure. When I try to engage speed control, the dash light blinks for a quick moment and turns off. I'm thinking the sensor has failed. If so, what is the part number for a replacement switch/sensor and how tough a job is it? 2003 Trac...

Welcome!!!!

A bit of an update: I ran a bottle of Seafoam in and the noise somewhat went away. I can still hear is ever so slightly say merging onto a freeway where I'm between 2 concrete walls. Its noise free but then you will a ping ping, then nothing. Had to do this 3 times for it to act up...

I will try Seafoam or an additive. This is what is sounds like: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGJZ6kKzLus&feature=related">Engine Noise</a> I will add if I put it neutral and raise the RPM's to 100, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000, the rattle isn't present. Big Al

I'm having a issue which started today. 105K miles new fuel pump and fuel filter was installed last week. Any time I'm accelerating while in gear/driving, I get a noise like a pinging/rattle or if I'm in motion and go to accelerate say to pass someone, I get the same noise. Its consistent the...

I have 105K miles on the trac and need transmission fluid service. Some say flush, others say pan drop. I usually have the trans service performed every 25K to 30K miles. Should the pan be dropped this time around? Big Al

I don't think mine were recalled. I'll see how these wear and proceed further. Its a nice tire, but cost is out of this world for $178 per tire. Funny thing is on The original Goodyear Wrangler's, pulled 60K miles on them. I might go back to those if these don't work out.

Well, I had to get new tires. Only got 35000 miles out the these tires and I was very disappointed to say the least. These were a 70000 mile tire!! Anyways, Michelin did warranty the tire with a 35% discount off LTX2 or nothing back. My question is anyone else have this issue with...
