    2007 transmission dipstick

    I just went ahead and replaced my sensors at the same time I got new tires since they were 10 years old. I don't see what the big deal is, if you don't like them don't blame Ford blame the nanny govt regulators And Ford isn't the only one that is doing this with the dipstick

    Replacing serpentine belt

    I watched the same video the problem I had was the stupid belt kept falling off the ac pulley I think what happened to me was that the shape of the belt from being folded in the package was causing a lot of slack right at the pulley. After sliding the belt around some I found that it would hold...

    Lean codes bank 1 and 2

    Just spray a little carb cleaner around the areas where you suspect a vacuum leak. If you have one the engine will speed up slightly when you hit it. When I was doing this for a living there was no such thing as a smoke machine. We would always find them with carb cleaner. But we did not have...

    Android 7.1 GPS Stereo units?

    I would look on Amazon at them to get some reviews. I bought an Atoto A6 and have been happy with it. Nice thing about Amazon is there are lots of reviews and it makes it a bit easier to shop them

    Starter solenoid/relay location 2003

    My first wrenching job was at Kmart when I was a kid we used to put a battery in a shopping cart and jump start people in the parking lot when they had a dead battery One time the guy I worked with jumped someone at night and was not paying attention He reversed the terminals and the battery...

    My point is red is the electric code for positive for a reason

    Starter solenoid/relay location 2003

    It's also the reason positive DC power is always marked red I would never grab for the battery positive but that's because it's drilled into what's left of my gray matter Not blaming you for what you did just thought I would state the correct safe way for anyone reading along

    Replacing serpentine belt

    I agree with your last sentence I did this for a living for 20 years that is enough lol But now I can not bring myself to let anyone else work on my vehicles

    Starter solenoid/relay location 2003

    NEVER under any circumstances disconnect your positive battery terminal first! Always do the negative one. The reason is if you touch ground with your wrench while working on the positive terminal you create a dead short and could cause the battery to explode or just arc weld the wrench to the...

    2007 transmission dipstick

    I decided against the aftermarket dipstick and tube for now. I just checked my trans fluid while I was changing the transfer case fluid, it was clean, I just bought this vehicle last May and it was supposed to have been changed at 100k miles according to what the original owner had written in...

    Replacing serpentine belt

    I used a breaker bar, always have a piece of conduit at the ready to slip over the end for a cheater bar. I use a pry bar to seat the drive of the breaker bar into the tensioner, then it stays put. I also use it to pop it back out All my pulleys were just fine so that was good. Did more...

    Replacing serpentine belt

    yeah but its impossible to zip tie the belt to the ac clutch you can barely get your hands on it the way it is take my word for it the duct tape works fine there is no residue as its just on there to hold the belt on the bottom of the pulley for a few minutes

    Replacing serpentine belt

    I did mine too yesterday, After taking the air snorkel off it wasn't that bad. When I work on an engine I look at what is in the way first and if it can be removed without much hassle I just remove it instead of fighting with it. Saves a lot of time and aggravation in the long run The problem I...
