    Loosing VSS signal causing speedometer non-op and shifting issues

    I have an issue with my 97 tach and have deemed it to be a bad cluster. In talking with a bunch of service departments I am told that you can drive just fine with no cluster so I would bet its not the cluster. As always though, watch out for Murphy.....

    issues with oil!

    I'm not impressed with my dipstick at all in my 97, Its round and flimsy with a larger flat area to read the oil level. The oil level reading varies drastically from one side to the other..... very weird.

    Got My Expy..

    This must be what the 97 and 98's have from the factory since they have a 2WD position on the switch.

    what to replace at 170k

    I just did mine, and I was scared to drive it once I saw rust holes. If they let go, much more damage will happen. You could possibly lose control and wreck the truck! This is what I bought and I am very happy with both price and quality -...

    No Heat

    If your engine is stock I would stick with the factory recommendation. Not sure what it is for your vehicle but they spec it for a reason. Ford engineers design the engine to run at a certain temperature for reasons of performance, economy, longevity, and others. Don't second guess them without...

    Water Pump

    If it were me I would not get that, I would stick with stock. Rock Auto has pumps from $32 cheapo - $90 Motorcraft..... but thats just me.

    Trailing arms

    Oh and as an FYI for anyone reading this and about to do this job...... Do one side at a time. Once the old one is off, put a bolt through one end of the new one in place where it goes. You will notice that the other end looks short. On mine it was due to the drive shaft weight pivoting the...

    Trailing arms

    Well, after reading about the 15 sawzall blades I opted for the cutting torch. Took a couple hours but its all done. Thanks for the responses though. Made a helluva mess!! There were just pieces left over, nothing worthy of photographing. They were worse than I thought.... good thing its done.

    Trailing arms

    I could yea.... I got the nuts off with no problem..... I think I will wedge a bit between arm and mount and stick my sawzall blade in and cut boths sides of the bolt off. I know the front one will move a little. I don't imagine they will cut easy but at least its a plan.

    Trailing arms

    I received the new ones and am in process of removing old. How did you guys get your bolts out? I have tried beating them, air chisel, impact and turning them, all they do is bounce in the rubber. I was almost thinking about a cutting torch and cut the whole arm and bolt out..... hate to do that...

    Near as can I find, the bolts for my 97 are 14mm X 4" Grade 10.9. Should be fun finding them! Corrections welcome. I just ordered the $145 ones from EBay.
