My biggest question is can I mix em? I place regular power steering fluid in, whitout consulting the manual. What a dumb move :huh:

Thanks for the update so far. I should probably drain the fluid since I used power steering fluid instead of Mercon. Whaddya think everyone? I mixed the original with Power Steering fluid, is that OK? Any idea how to drain, or where?:unsure:

I just changed my AC Compressor, all went well. Had to move my Power Steering Resevoir to get at the compressor. Finished the job to find out that the Power Steering has a significant shudder to it now.:angry: I used regular power steering fluid. Is that OK. could it be my problem...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I'll see if it needs cleaned. The belt n tensioner look fine. I think if I catch it early enough before the Compressor goes, i can get by without replacing the orifice tube and evaporator. Just not letting the system be open to long when i place...

My AC Comprssor is starting to grind. (sounds like that at least) Should I replace it before it contaminates the system? Sounds like its the clutch but I'll just replace the whole compressor while I'm at it. Put my ac on the other day smelled some burning from the car(my car I think) but...

I have an 2003 ST with 58,000 miles on it. The brakes have recently been pulsating alot, with lots of feedback in the brake peddle and steering wheel. Is it time to change my rotors? Most likely the front first? I imagine around 50k and this will happen. Also does anyone actually torque...

Anybody ever have to replace the gears in their differential. (ring & pinion) I see on Explorer Forums there is "the Whine" comes from the gears going bad in the differential. I have a 2003 Sport Trac. Wondering if it could be a wheel bearing(hoping!!!) Thank in advance

My 2003 - 2 wheel drive Trac makes a Whine as soon as it hits 36 mph. Only in the 36-40mph range. Cant tell where its coming from. Sounds maybe like a wheel bearing but I imagine a bearing would do it all the time, and not just between that 36-40 range. It might be wind noise at that...

I understand they are slid in but there is either a normal wrench fitting around the lines or some type of compression fitting? Is that a compression fitting or a spring disconnect?

I'm looking for my orifice tube to see if its blocked. I'm thinking its in the line between the Condenser and evaporator, before it even goes into the accumultor/drier. Can anyone verify that? I think its a pressure fitting? Is this correct. There is a black plastic connector and a...

Thanks for the feedback. I know the low pressure side drops when the compressor kicks on. Is the low pressure switch the same as the cycling switch. Thanks in advance

yes system is on max ac. No Cold air and comprssor goes on and off every 5 seconds. Is that normal?

I checked the low side pressure. it was like 110psi. so I lowered it to 45ish. Could it maybe be an orifice tube?

My air conditioner is now blowing hot air. The compressor cycles on and off every 5 seconds. Anyone else have this going on? I checked the pressure and it was was to high, so I lowered it and it still happens. I ordered a new cycling switch for it and will try that first. Then I will look...

Anybody have or ever see one of those truck tents that fit in the back of the Sport Trac. I would like to buy one for some road trips but not sure if they work? Thanks all

That is hilarious - I got a new light for xmas and it does probably go with it. Wow the jokes on me. I thought I would remember something coming out of the dash that distinctive. Ohhh boy:lol:

I installed a remote starter and alarm in my 2003 Sport Trac. When re-installing the dash components under the steering column I forgot where a piece went. The picture is below! One would think I would definately remember where such a distinctive piece went but ???? There is a metal...

I'm installing an eclipse double din Head Unit. Do the side clips in the kits actually Attach attach to the front Bezel Faceplate? I have a kit with plastic pieces that screw to the side of the radio, but no real way to attach it to the front Bezel. Is it mounted to the Bezel or...

Anybody have any kits or better yet ideas how to actually attach a double din head unit inside the car. I have an eclipse head unit. I already cut down the inside dash bezel to accomodate the front of the unit. Not sure how to actually mount it and hold it in place??? Also the traditional...
