    A/C heeeeelp

    hey, i only have a test light. I can read and understand diagrams, and I have the manual knobs for climate control. BUT, I dropped it off at a shop this morning as I don't have time to work on it further due to this thing called a day job. I'll post back with what they find. thanks

    A/C heeeeelp

    so all the fuses are good. I've switch the a/c clutch relay with the fog light relay and still nothing. are you saying that the manual knob to turn on the a/c could be bad? running EATC something I can do? is that when you push in the trip odometer and turn the key to accessory and wait...

    A/C heeeeelp

    hey guys, been a long while. So I replaced my a/c compressor, drier, orifice tube, low and high pressure switches. HOWEVER, the clutch is not engaging. What I've checked/tested: 1. all fuses and relay are ok. 2. put direct battery power to the compressor with engine off and got...

    2001 one piece driveshaft

    the driveshaft i got from rockauto had the u-joints already in place in the yoke plate, very convenient. but i just noticed that my passenger trailing arm rusted through and broke, so i'll replace those and see how she does.

    2001 one piece driveshaft

    hey big red, thanks for the offer to help. here are some pictures. it seems like the nose of the diff is tilted upwards. HOWEVER, it goes fine at very very low speeds like 1-2 mph lol, and reverse. so i guess the angle is ok. but if i gas it and the rpm goes up, there's a violent shudder...

    2001 one piece driveshaft

    So I got an exact replacement from RockAuto. Now when I was under there, I just noticed that the differential is not vertical !!!! I've replaced the cover before, but cannot remember if this is normal !?!??! I'm thinking it isn't, but I do not see any cracks or twisted metal. Can someone...

    Exhaust upgrades

    don't know if you still need a reply. go to another muffler shop, good shops can run dual out the back. the driver side will need to go up over and around the rear suspension. not a big deal. i have a single in dual out magnaflow.

    caliper suggestion

    awesome, thanks Thermo. I could go for rebuilding some of them. I have a front driver side one where the piston is completely frozen in there and won't budge. So i may just get a fully loaded caliper up there. i emailed the ebay seller to see what you get with the rebuild kit, as I would...

    how do i tell what differential i have?

    thanks for the link. very helpful. i did count the number of bolts and it is 12 ! and the cover is not round like the 8.8 10-bolt. what i'm thinking is that my expedition came with the tow package, so that would beef up the rear to a 12-bolt 9.75 ??? i hope so ! but then the door sticker...

    how do i tell what differential i have?

    thanks! you are correct with the 4R100. i wonder if the differential cover for the 8.8 and 9.75 are the same???? I'm looking at the Mag Hytec website and they only have a 12 bolt 9.75 cover, not a 12 bolt 8.8.
