    175k miles and becoming the Daily Driver - things to consider?

    Very important but often overlooked until you can’t start it is to change the fuel filter. It always plugs up when you are away from your tools!

    Grinding or slight shuttering/rubbing noise while braking

    I’m going from memory here...isn’t there supposed to be a removable clip that the ears on the brake pad fit into on the caliper? It creates a track for the pad to travel on while brakes are being applied. I don’t see any in the pictures so wonder if the pad may be vibrating from the slop the...

    Recoating power running board step pad?

    I coated mine with flat black Rusoleum Bed Liner (spray can version) after a wash down with acetone. Available at Lowe’s and WalMart. Mine were not the folding style but this should work. It gives a nice nonslip texture and still looks like new after a year of use and many power washes. Use...

    Restoring running boards

    I have an 05 Limited with the running boards that faded too. I found by washing the plastic boards with acetone, taping the surrounding body color, and masking off the doors and fenders about up to the door handles, that I could spray paint the running board plastic with Rustoleum Bed Liner...

    Where can I source this plastic panel for cheap?

    I was able to attach mine by drilling 3 holes thru the thickest part of the cheap plastic into the metal seat frame behind it. Sheet metal screws were inserted and the fix has lasted over 3 years. One of the holes actually went thru the broken tab, at a slight angle, to properly space it.

    Backlight not working on drivers door keypad

    2nd Generation. It’s a small inconvenience but I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had the light go out in the driver’s door keyless entry keypad. Is there a fix for this other than a full replacement of the keypad? I haven’t found any mention of this in this forum or on UTube.

    2008 Issues!!! HELP!!!

    Change the oil in the trans as well as the filter. Mine did the shutter when the oil looked good but had lost its viscosity. While the pan is off, go to Pep Boys and get their oil drain plug kit, under $10. Install it in the recessed area in the enter of the magnet. In the future you can...

    leather steering wheel repair

    About four years ago my wife showed me the same problem on her 2005 Expedition Limited. I surmised it was caused by using hand sanitizer and then touching the wheel which is about the same as putting paint remover on the leather! After much research I was looking at about a $250 repair bill to...
