    Stainless Brake lines

    The only problem I have had with brakes in 30 plus years of driving is with stainless steel braided brake hoses. I hit the pedal hard one day and it blew the hose open right where the crimped ferrule and braid come into contact. Fortunately I was about a block from home. That was several...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    My 1996 honda accord had no oil leaks at 150k plus miles and no major repairs. My 2003 expedition needed a new transmission at about 86k miles. Rear end has been making noise since buying it used in 2007. Windshield leaked and caused all kinds of problems. Heated and cooled seats won't work...

    This has happened to me several times over the years and it is only one Safeway gas station that it happens at.

    How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck?

    Shocks NEVER lift or lower a vehicle. They only provide oscillation dampening .

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    Extended warranties are for people that are bad at math and also bad at being financially responsible. If you did the math you would see that about 12 percent of the money you spend on the warranty is actually used to fix your vehicle. And financially responsible people have a fully funded...

    2003 Cranks but will not fire

    On my 2003 I went ahead as a precaution and just bypassed the fuse panel fuel pump relay completely. Do a Google search or search for the wiring diagram to figure it out. Use a good quality relay like Bosch for this. I believe I used the grounding signal from the pcm that goes to the original...

    I wouldn't buy a twin tube shock. I'd stick with monotube

    Changing forgotten fluids

    Transfer case does not take mercon v. They have a special fluid as stated by the other poster. Front and rear axles will depend on what you have for a differential. Consult door sticker and take on rear diff to determine what matches up in the owners manual. Don't forget brake fluid flush

    Brake fluid flush

    Every few years. If it isn't the same color as when it came out of the bottle then people aren't doing themselves any favors by not cleaning the system out . I just hook up my extractor to each wheel until it runs clean.

    Door ajar light

    I just left my car turned off. Waited for the battery save to kill the dome lights and then opened each door until I found a door that didn't turn on the lights. Happened to be the last door, passenger side rear. I had sprayed the hell out of all the latches already with no luck. Took the...

    Battery drain

    Do your draw test as mentioned earlier in the thread. I believe the factory manual states the draw should be between 24 and 26 mah. I find it odd to have such a small differrence between the 2. And this is for a factory vehicle with no after market stuff.
