A/C whistling when button is pressed...
does the whistling sound sound like an air sucking whistle?? or a rubbing, metal plastic abrasive whistle?? That will determine if it's the motor or not.. if it' s an air sucking whistle then it's probably something else in the box, maybe even blocked. Since the start of AC season where I work...- retrogarage6

Gotts Mod **Pics**

But have you ever noticed that the oil in those filters is getting sucked into the intake tube and coating the MAF with filter oil? Well it is. And just a matter of miles does the MAF fail and send...- retrogarage6

A little help please? loud humming

Front Sagging 04 Expedition
do you have air suspension? If you can't ID the shocks by looking at them open the access panel on the left of the luggage compartment in the rear and see if you have an "Air suspension off" rocker switch. If you only see the red button thats the fuel pump cut off and there will be the air ride...- retrogarage6

Need help figuring out a part #
if you put your vin# in the fordparts.com site, it should give you a list of parts filtered for your vehicle. Just watch foot notes on parts that have any multiple choices or options such as color or trim level but generally thats why the vin# is entered. Close enough to the electronic parts...- retrogarage6
