    Wheel Bearings

    2wd or 4wd? I did both sides on mine(4wd) and it was a pain. Get a bfh and plenty of crowbars. The rust is the biggest issue. The hub actually rusts to the knuckle and is a pia to get off. Good luck1 keep us posted.

    How do I fix the rear wiper?

    Yes rtbrjason, I can see how hitting the rear wiper arm with a rubber mallet while driving can be cumbersome. Isn't that why we have kids for?:rofl: What I'm talking about with the rubber mallet,pavojc, is this. If you haven't tried any of the suggestions for fuses,power to the switch,motor...

    How do I fix the rear wiper?

    This is an all too common problem with these motors. A replacement is around $50 remanufactured, plus a core charge. It's a pretty easy fix. Right off the top of my head here is how it is done. 1-Unscrew the nut holding the wiper arm and remove it. 2- Open the rear hatch and unscrew the strap...

    Found where noise was coming from.

    I just did mine this weekend when I replaced my hub. It's pretty easy to do. If I am thinking correctly the torque setting is 16lbs. Once you remove the old ones, jack the front end up. Then once you place everything on the bottom and middle, let the front end down and the top part of the link...

    Hesitation and loud noise when stepping on the gas.

    I bet that your egr tube is cracked or broken.

    weird rear a/c question

    That was it. The rear controls were set to heat. Hortonguy. Should I pull it from the Head(where the computer face sits) or farther down?

    weird rear a/c question

    On the picture of the rear hvac controls(sorry I forgot who posted them as I write this) how do I remove just the blend/heat/fan section plastic? I have a light burnt out behind the blend knob. As for "position two on my '97 is "Rear Control", thus if the rear is not on, it won't work as if...

    weird rear a/c question

    Thanks for the reply stamp. Yes the fan is blowing at this speed. The speed also increases at each setting, i.e. spped one low, speed 2 higher etc. all the way to position 4. It just seems weird that the a/c will blow cold on all of the other settings except the second. I should have...

    weird rear a/c question

    Hey guys. I just finished charging my a/c. What a pain because of the placement of the port, but I digress. While I was charging it I turned the front ac and rear ac both on high while charging. When I was done I noticed that the rear ac blows cold on all of the settings except for the second...

    front suspension questions

    Sounds to me like a bad wheel bearing hub assembly. Get a good floor jack and jack up each side of the front end. Grab each front wheel at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock. Push/pull. If there is ANY play. then it is your wheel bearing. Or a bad cv joint also. Or both Or more I only know this...

    Power Steering pump and winshield washer/wiper switch

    Rock Auto had the best price when I replaced mine. Make sure you get a motorcraft one. Motorcraft is the only one that has hole that fits the electrical connector.

    EATC issues

    I would replace the cheapest part first. I'd start with the resistor first. If that doesn't fix it, then get a scrap control head.

    Lean Codes

    It sounds to me that your o2 sensors are working properly. I mean they are after all telling you something is too lean. When you replaced your pcv valve, did you replace the line that goes to the rear of the intake? That part has a tendency to develop a pin hole and collapse the boot attachment...

    Removing eddie baurer pinstripe

    My pinstriping was all chipped as well. I removed it using the quick detailer stuff. then when the stripe was wet I removed it using my thumbnail. It took a while, but not too bad. After the striping was removed, I clay bar'd the remaining residue. It took two or three attempts but it is all...
