    I could use your help on this one guys

    Not sure if you got this issue corrected yet, but I remember my brother-in-law had an issue with my sister's mustang. The issue appeared to be alt./ bat. low and the car wouldn't stay running for more than a few seconds. It turned out to be a battery in the key! They tried using their backup...

    06 Expedition Oil

    I use Mobil1 5w-30 along with a mobil1 oil filter and change the oil every six months or 3k whichever comes first. After looking at different brands of motor oil specifics, I feel the Mobil1 5w-30 is the best choice. Funny thing is that the viscosity of this oil at 100*c is slightly more...

    What is this button?

    I think the question is regarding to the little round switch closest to the steering column. It does look like a factory switch, but I don't think it is. It does look like a switch used for aftermarket fog lights, back up lights, or a light bar perhaps.
