    Emissions leak/gas cap issue

    Randy H, If you can smell petrol / gas fumes at some point whether while driving or not, but while the engine is running it might be the Evap canister purge valve. The hole may be very small, the size of a pin head. Check the entire connection, take off the Evap canister purge valve and the...

    Any words of advise on security cameas

    Itybitybob....why don't you just get a universal wireless Netgear - Wal-Mart sells them for $49 but you can get them on E-bay for less. I purchased one for $25 used which I am using with my Samsung Blu-ray player. It works well as long as you are able to WPS - Wireless Protective Security-...

    Itybitybob....I recently help setup cameras for my sister and neighbors and I have them myself so I might be able to help. Three different systems. Lorex, Night owl and Swann. To setup any unit you will need to know what your ISP IP address is. However before you start were you able to setup...

    Looking at buying a used Windstar or Freestar, any recomendations?

    Andy, take it from someone who has owned a 2000 Ford Windstar, had neighbors who have owned newer and older Windstar- save your money, seriously. If you are looking for a mini van go with Toyota or Honda in the 2005-2006, prices are not that overwhelming. If you can settle with a SUV then the...

    rubber donuts that are between the frame and the carrage

    Eddie, I live down south, Florida to be exact and I have had this issue for more than 2 yrs. Although I didn't contact the company that supplied this "crappy product" to Ford, I did email Ford and the NHTSA on several occasions. I even went as far as filling out the complaint form sent to me...

    Instrument cluster not working

    Arturo, Your truck has a speedometer cable, quite similar to a 1991 Mazda 626 I use to have. If all the other instruments work then I would agree with Rich about the cable. Unfortunately when ever you work on the clutch you have to disconnect the cable which I believe in your case, comes from...

    brake fluid leak

    Mickey, sounds like you may have fluid leaking in the break booster, this doesn't often happen but it can. The master cylinder usually leaks out side on the front of the booster. If you have done all the external checks possible and there are no visible leaks, that is where you should check...

    Check Engine light P0442 - EVAP Leak

    Thanks Eddie, I will have another look at the hoses and the canister. Last Thursday I spent the better half of my day off under the trac feeling around and inspecting as much as I could, but saw nor felt anything. Had a doctors appointment so I did drop the box so I could have missed...

    Check Engine light P0442 - EVAP Leak

    Need help please from anyone, primarily Todd Z. I have been having the dreaded Code P0442 ever since I had Sears installed some new shocks on the Trac.

    New rubber installed

    Great choice Jeff, over 3 years ago I wanted to get rid of the crappy Wranglers and was looking for better tires and a deal. My neighbor knew a Manager at Firestone and these were the tires he sold me with lifetime rotation and wheel alignment for around $550.00 total. One of the best things I...

    Upper Control Arms

    Dave...Examine the bushing on the right hand side, if they are still in fairly good condition, I would just replace the outer part of the arm, that is what I did and I have not noticed any adverse effect with steering or driving. As stated previously I did change the left side as well...

    Upper Control Arms

    Kyle...I did both left and right the upper control arm on my ST in May this year just as the Trac was rolling over to 100k and my trac is 02. I had a similar issue, the arms where shot. I purchased MOOGs from Advance Auto parts for about $250. Greased them and installed them myself purely...

    New clutch is installed -- Now that's what I'm talk'n about!

    Good job Rodger, I have a similar '02 ST, same color too and has just turned 100k miles. Thankfully I am still on my original Clutch. I am fortunate to have taught my two boys to drive stick partly using my truck and another car. Hope I am not talking too soon. Had one problem about four years...

    Polyurethane Body Mount bushings?

    Rodger, I have been looking myself. The only ones I have come across are made by ES and sold by CS Discount Car Parts Stuff but they are classified as Universal. The tech support does not seem to know much about whether or not they will fit. {Universal SKU E1294102G @$24.96 for a set of 2}...
