    I can't drive 55...

    To quote a classic! This is probably a question for Steve, the proclaimed master of correcting interior cabin noise: If I drive around 55 mph with the speed control engaged, my gas pedal vibrates like there is no tomorrow. It has actually been doing this for qas long as I can remember...

    Fuel Filter - What am I missing here?

    About at my wit's end here. This is day two of trying to replace this filter, and the issue is the same as before. I can get the From Tank side of the fuel line off just fine, but I'm stuck on getting the To Engine side off. I've sprayed WD-40, pushed and pulled, tried leveraging and...

    Transmission fluid question? (update from filter problem)

    [Edit:] If you're reading this thread from the beginning, the basic idea is: 1. PepBoys has the wrong information for ST transmissions, and gear oils in their system. Be careful when selecting items using their automated system. 2. Dropping the transmission fluid pan only replaces a...

    How to turn a 30 minute swap into a 3 hour project...

    So, today was "Install Moog K80085 Rear Sway Bar End Link Kit" day. That project went fairly well, but I simply can't let the opportunity to tidy up a bit go to waste! Just one question to ask before I get on with the rest of the post: What's the impact of lubricating the Moog K80085...

    Mission: Find that Mouse! and other issues...

    Aided with my trusty smartphone (I'm literally under my truck right now), I began my quest to locate and extinguish rear end suspension squeaks. Picked up a can of liquid wrench (Edit: Silicone Spray) and did a quick roll around. Here's what I found: Mouse #1: Most noise. Silicone spray...

    Changing Shocks (Rear)?!

    Well, Last night I picked up my new Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks, and hit the garage to try and figure everything out. All I have to say is that, at that time, I found out I was missing certain tools that I previously had, and there's precious little space to dismount the top bolts on the rear...

    Back! Got some work to do :)

    Whew, Found my user account! I've since changed email providers, and had a bit of guessing to do. Anyhow, I don't expect anybody to remember me. I'm usually off getting deployed, so I'm not around much anyways lol. I bought my 04 XLT 4x4 brand new, and finally paid it off in...
