    Raptor front shock on my Expy?

    If you want Fox shocks in the front, just call them and I'm sure they will have an application.

    h.i.d and l.e.d questions.

    I would just go to ebay and pick up a set of hid's from a seller that has a good rating. There is no sense in spending huge dollars on a kit. Many of the led aux light bars have a mix of spot and flood lights to balance out the view. The spots throw a narrow beam far down the road, and the...

    i knew to do it myself...but didnt

    A rough 'high performance' style idle comes from the cam choice. So no worry there. If you look at the Accel specs, they are basically the same as stock. I bought them because of the price. The additional voltage that they claim, isn't relevant in a stock motor.

    Bulletproof Steering

    You just need to ream out the tapered holes for the tie rod ends and that's about it. Those things flex when hit and then return, without staying bent up like a steel rod does. I had to use a set of high misalignment spacers on the drag link when I did my Scout steering, but otherwise it was...

    Random issues

    You didn't mention if you had any codes popping up. Also, I use the propane method for finding leaks. It allows you to get motor warmed up and test without any worries of fire.

    How do I manage timing w/ head removal

    You only need the locking tools when you're installing the timing chains. They are to keep the spring pressure from moving the cams. During the tear down just look to make sure that the timing marks are clearly visible and all line up, and then you can rip it apart.

    What glue to use on headliner repair?

    Use 3M Super 77 spray adhesive and apply it to both surfaces and let it get tacky before attaching it. You only have one chance to get it right, so a practice dry fit is helpful.

    Radiator tank cracked. clutch fan to blame?

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-270 This is the correct way to do the electric fan conversion. As you can see it's pricey, so it explains why everybody pieces together units.

    i knew to do it myself...but didnt

    I didn't buy the Accel coils because of the (debatable) high performance characteristics. The set of 8 was nearly half the price of buying regular individual coils.

    I used the Accel coils and they worked perfectly.

    Any clue what to do??

    First thing would be to pull the codes and see what happened.

    Gen 1 -- How to Steering wheel Cover -- Price vs Quality

    Agree, but.... it's all in how much patience you have to lace it up neatly. You can make or break the final product with your sewing skills.

    What Parts do I need Front End Rebuild

    There are parts that are commonly overlooked, like sway bar bracket bushings that can cause creaking / knocking. I would replace any bushings that I can with urethane versions. They perform better and last longer. (just be sure to lubricate them correctly, or you'll hear even more squeaking...

    Radiator tank cracked. clutch fan to blame?

    If that fan clutch wasn't doing its job, you'd see the temp gauge start to climb. Are the coolant and engine oil both uncontaminated? Unusual pressure in the cooling system is often a result of a blown head gasket.

    Spark Plugs Causing Engine Jerk?

    In general, people tend to blame spark plugs for issues too often. Most problems usually come from cops or sensors. Plugs don't usually fail suddenly and start causing problems.

    over head shelf

    I saw one in an F150 once. The only thing that I wondered is if the visors were even functional any more. It seemed like they would be way too low to use.

    No Oil in the heads after replacement

    No oil pressure on mechanical gauge = bad. Are you sure that you didn't block off any passages when you installed the new head gaskets? Don't take this the wrong way, but have you ever done a project that is anything like this before? It kind of seems like you're winging it. On a new...

    Shock Suggestions?

    What I was saying is that monroe makes at least 8 different shocks. Are they going to put in an econo-matic, a gas magnum or a sensa-trac? There IS a difference.

    Looking for a 3" Frame Lift

    It's the driveshaft itself that is the issue. Turning off AWD with the brown wire mod, doesn't change the driveshaft type.

    Shock Suggestions?

    I'd go to another garage. The answer 'Monroes' doesn't help you at all. That's like asking for a set of tires for a Ford. Go somewhere where they are helpful and knowledgeable. Having been in the business, I will tell you that there is a big difference between cheapo shocks and a performance...

    Does the cop boot come with the coils?

    Every one that I've purchased had the boots included.
