    Now what?!!

    Well...after chasing all the rumble, sputter, low idle and whatever other crap I've been dealing for the last couple weeks with my new to me navigator, it just crapped out on me. I guess this plug was the cork that was holding the damn. Lol. So the long story short went to my mechanic to see...

    Front hubs are done.

    Well...compared to the brake job this was a breeze. :) Unlike the brake job didn't have to take the pads off the caliper. (Thank you YouTube.) because in my head I thought I had to. Just take out the two 18mm bolts on the bracket that holds the caliper and the pads, the take out the four...

    Wow what a pain in the brake.

    So I decided to change the front rotors and pads today, went and bought the pads and rotors took the left from wheel off took the caliper off, pulled the rotor thinking it is going to pop right off and it's stuck. Worked on that sucker for three hours. Beat the crap out of it with a hammer, no...

    Goodbye 2001 expy and hello 2004 navigator.

    Well after searching for couple of weeks I finally bought a 2004 navigator. It doesn't have everything I wanted but considering I actually don't need any of it (ok maybe 4x4) I couldn't pass the deal. First thing I noticed is the power difference. I mean it is like night and day. I had to stomp...

    Hot days no power.

    Hope everyone is well, since it's been a while since I've been around. So here is my new issue...when days get hot truck losses power from standstill to about 40mph and after 40 things get better again. Weird part is this doesn't happen in the mornings or cooler days. It only happens when it's...

    Any idea what this is?

    I was under the truck and saw this dangling filthy plug that comes down from the engine and goes behind the oil filter. No engine light, no codes truck runs great.
