    Transmission fluid service

    Trainmaster: after reading posts on here and doing my own trans, the dipstick plastic degrades in the hot oil. On my personal vehicle the stick was in the pan just swimming around. I’m glad I got the dipstick when I bought the filter. Jmho, your results may vary. JoeZ

    Transmission fluid service

    Hey Franklin I did the flush on my '03 Taurus, I was puckered up the whole time, I didn't like doing it that way but you can't easily drop the pan on a Taurus. I dropped the pan on my Expy, did the filter and replaced the dipstick, you should have a new dipstick kit on hand when you or a...

    Lower steering shaft replaced today

    Finally, I made time to replace the steering shaft on my 2008 XLT 4wd. First I sprayed the hell out of the bolts and the shaft ends with penatrating oil. I positioned the shaft so I could remove the upper bolt, and then found if I put the lower bolt facing forward I could get the socket on the...

    Is there a way to get a band-TPMS truck ('09) to recognize Ford stem TPMS ('14 F150 wheels)?

    I don't know about the Ford stem tpms, but my tire guy replaced all 4 of mine with stem type (probably genaric) and had no problem programming them. Check at a tire shop, they should know. Good luck.

    Cover or Tray to cover shifter hole on center console?

    Hey Matt! Welcome! I did the same thing on my 2008 XLT SSV. I found a plastic tray at a thrift store for $1.00 that was the same dimension as the shifter hole. I spray bombed it and glued it onto the bottom of the console plate. It fits great and looks semi-factory. Make sure to get the rear...

    Dropping transmission pan

    I used a wobble extension and a short socket, save yourself trouble and buy a new dipstick kit. Mine broke after getting the pan back on so replace it. Save yourself some aggravation. JoeZ

    Has anyone installed KYB struts?

    Has anyone used KYB struts on their Expy? I am looking to replace my oem struts, and read that the Monroe quick struts aren't all that. RockAuto has them for a decent price. I like the Bilsteins but they aren't in my budget. Thanks! JoeZ

    Tyre pressure sensor fault

    On my '08 I had one sensor fail, and it would only fault when the wheel was hot. One week after replacing it, the strap broke on another one. I found it when replacing the front brake pads. The funny thing about that one is it still worked fine. My tire guy replaced the strap on type with the...

    Headlight retainer spring clip

    Yup, pulled the headlight back out and the metal clip was a pretzel. Thanks for the reply 16plati. Sorry Chris, no # yet.

    Console for former government 3rd Gens?

    I just did this to my 2008 ssv. I bought a used console from a 2009 that matched my interior from a local yard, $125. It came with both brackets and all of the bolts. The rear bracket was the only one I could use due to a "box" under the mat, but the front of the console bolts to the dashboard...

    Headlight retainer spring clip

    OK, so I replaced my headlight bulbs Saturday, and after driving at night I noticed the PS light was higher than the DS. I removed the headlight again and noticed that I had destroyed the spring clip that retains the lower outside of the headlight assembly. Does anyone know the part number for...
