Hi guys, I want to replace the front rotors and pads on my 02 two-wheel drive. On YouTube, some guys remove the caliper and pull the rotor off. Others remove the hub and bearings also. I don't like to bang on the bearing and race to get them out. In the videos, it was not clear why the mechanic...

I think that I have a bad thermostat, 'quite slow to warm up even at 70 f outside. Do I have to remove lots of intake parts to get to it? It has been in about 40K miles or so. tks God bless Ed

Aloha folks, the A/C quit 'day before yesterday. It cycles every 2-3 seconds in the carport, but no cooling. Does that suggest anything other than a low charge to you? YouTube says clean the condenser. God bless Ed

I want to replace the front pads in Feb or March but there are soo many to choose from! What is the difference between ceramic and semi-metallic? So many brands to choose from. Are they all good? I drive like an old man so no drifting anymore. 2002 2wd 162K miles.

Aloha folks, Scotty Kilmer says "don't warm up your cars nowadays". Mine is a 2002 4.0, I always wait until the tack goes down to 1k rpm or so. Then there is a 1/2 mile 25mph before the main road! Do you guys give your truck a warm up? I realize that it is 70f or so here but that is cold to the...

Aloha guys, this past week or so when I back out of the carport, the engine surges just a bit. By the time that I get to the road, it seems ok. Does this seem to be fuel-related or maybe injectors? As I've posted before, most of my drives are less than a mile to church or the store. Once a week...

Aloha folks, sometimes when I put on the left turn signal, the indicator blinks quickly as though a bulb was out. But only sometimes. I don't think that a bulb can come back to life! What would do this? Maybe inside the steering column? thanks God bless Ed

Hi folks, I have been through this before but can't remember. Is there an easy way to adjust the door striker? The plastic wore out so I bought another and put it (I thought) just where the other one was. Ok so the door doesn't shut all the way and the door ajar light is on! There must be a way...

Aloha, in a previous post about the clatter on startup (2002 4.0), someone suggested 0wt oil. That didn't help at all. I am concerned that 0 wt is too light and should I drain it and go back to 5w 30? the 0 wt has been in for about 600 miles. Any thoughts? Did I tell you that I had someone pull...

Aloha folks, what it 0 wt. oil, I understand that when cold it is thin but it is a fhisiwaqual imposibobality for fluid to have no viscosity! So, what is 0? thanks God bless Ed

Aloha folks, I bought a used computer that has Windows 10 (supposedly nothing else). I set up an administrator account and a regular account for the internet. So when I start the computer, there is my regular account but no admin. account listed. How to access the admin. account if it doesn't...

Aloha guys, I think that I have asked this before, but maybe someone new can answer. I have clatter on start-up after a short drive (1 mile or so) If I drive more, 10-15 miles. there is no rattle even the next morning. I have had the chains replaced. My question, since I get full oil pressure...

Aloha folks, I have a small spot of oil under the truck (2002 4.0 V6). You folks have said not to use additives! There are 1K miles before the next change, I want to add 1/2 quart of some sealer to the oil the last 500 miles to save the carport floor. Also a little to the control arm bushings...

Aloha folks, I bought Photoshop Elements 13 years ago and have been happy with it. However, with the new hard drive, it won't load. Adobe says it is no longer supported so it won't open. Is there a workaround for this? Tks God bless Ed

Hi folks, The Track threw a code yesterday. p0001 fuel volume regulator. Is this something that I can spray into the engine or unhook the battery? Or do I replace the gizmo? About a week ago at fillup, I put in a bottle of Lucus fuel treatment. Would this have anything to do with the trouble...

Hay folks, I saw a check engine light this am. The meter shows an 01/01 fault. and it says pending 00. The book that came with the meter only shows 0101 and it says something about the MAF. So, I am not sure what the trouble is. Should I go clean the MAF sensor, or does 01/01 mean something...
