    Trans cooler...

    You need to know if the trans temp is in the OBDII data stream to be able to read it. It is for my '08. I had to add custom Ford PIDs to Torque Pro (the program I use) I am not sure about yours

    AC clutch

    It could read 100 depending if the vehicle was recently running, if its hot under the hood or its hot outside lots of variables My point is if its reading 10psi for instance then he knows its low on 134a and that has to be addressed before anything else that's all I am saying

    AC clutch

    that's all you need. Screw it on and see what it reads. Hi side is only used for diagnostic purposes unless you mean the gauge is built into the can? I have seen those but I have never used one. Probably should still work but I am not sure. I have one that built into the low side hose for...

    AC clutch

    If you use the chassis for ground make sure that the connection for your meter to ground is good. Touch the positive lead of the meter to B+ to make sure otherwise you may be chasing your tail using a bad ground for the meter

    AC clutch

    it could still be what John is suggesting while the engine is running and the AC is on try lightly tapping on the clutch face with a hammer or something similar, if it engages then you have too much clearance between the friction surfaces of the clutch discs very common

    Ford exiting the sedan business

    driving will never go away. but as time goes on less and less will be sold and with the imports leading the way in sedans the market will just keep slowly shrinking. Ford is just trying to look into the future and taking a gamble to survive in the long run besides , thought we were supposed to...

    Ford exiting the sedan business

    yeah I know. I am in the industry Ford is in my backyard. I worked there for 13 years. I hear about this stuff all the time. I think they are crazy too. My kid is an engineer there. They are all worried about their jobs. Our generation isn't going to be buying them anyway. They probably wont...

    the main reason they are doing this is they are putting all (most anyway) their eggs in the autonomous vehicle/mass transportation effort they are going to be cutting a LOT of existing jobs in the process while adding some new ones in other places

    Grill Removal...

    you dont have to take the grill off completley take the shroud off that covers the top of the radiator and then remove the fasteners for the top of the grill then just tip to top of it forward. There is enough room in there to work. I stuck a piece of wood in there to hold it open so I could...

    Hardwired a radar detector

    I just have mine mounted temporarily on my dash. They say mount it as low as you can since the fuzz aim the radar gun at the headlights or the license plate and its more likely the detector will pick up the signal mounted as low as possible on the dash I only use it on long trips otherwise it...
