    Well, she wouldn't move outta the way.

    Mine was about $7500 Both front airbags deployed so that means not only they had to be replaced but the air bag module, the sensors, and the 2 front seat belts had to also (Ford Motor requirement when the air bag goes)

    A/C clutch not engaging, new compressor

    try swapping the fuel pump relay with another one from the fuse box. They should be the same. if it starts then you have a bad relay

    What do I need for a diy tranny fluid change?

    and actually, although you wont like this and neither do I, from the mfg's point of view trans fluid is not considered a consumable like engine oil. The truck doesn't burn it or use it up if there is a leak you need to get it fixed, no topping off. So their stance is it doesn't need a...
