    4WD Problem...7" of snow

    All- I have searched the forum for the answer to my question, and thought I had it...but then my 4WD miraculously started working again. My 4WD hasn't been working for about 6 months. One day I flipped the switch just to make sure it was still working and there was no indication on the...

    Kelyless Entry Code

    I have a '99 and the code is up under the emergency brake...way up there! i had to lay on my back on the driver's side floor board to actually see it. That's the 5 digit master code, and it will always work no matter what. If you want to change the code to something you'll remember, let me...

    New Tranny Fluid

    do you mean put that stuff on the 20 pan bolts? Because my leak isn't coming from the T/C drain plug. I checked it first and it was dry as a bone.

    New Tranny Fluid

    at the bottom of my T/C there was a rubber plug. when i pulled it off, i could NOT see the T/C drain plug, so my husband turned the crank (with 18mm socket) until i saw the plug at the 6 o'clock position. the drain plug was 10mm (i think, i'll check my paper when i get home) and 6qts drained...

    recent fix

    bonestock- if you have a 4R100 tranny, i can tell you exactly how to do it (i just did it 2500 miles ago, & my truck is running great...no more shudder yet). here is a website where i got the "how to". You will probably have to register to view these links, but it's free. There was one...

    New Tranny Fluid

    1000 miles ago, i did my own tranny drain and fill. i also added a remote filter from summit racing (perma cool brand). I drained the torque convertor, drained the pan, dropped the pan, cleaned the gasket, cleaned the magnet, and cleaned the pan....then refilled with Royal Purple Max ATF...

    Paaenger side oil leak update

    this might sound silly, but do you have to change oil weight to usee the lucas oil additive, or is it good for any weight oil? i use 5W30 in my expy. I had the head gasket leak fixed 50K miles ago, and it's back. of course my expy isn't under warranty now and i don't want to pay that kind of...

    Ground Short?

    I'm not an electrician, so i might say the wrong things. That being said here is my problem: this past winter my 4WD switch randomly stopped working (it had since randomly started working again). I also lost the ability to roll down my drivers side window only (all other windows could be...

    k&n filters

    i have one in my expy, and for a while my MPG suffered. Since more air was entering for a given air: fuel ratio the fuel consumption went up. i dropped from 16mpg to 14mpg. Once the filter got dirty my MPG went back up. i see this same phenomenon every time i clean the filter.

    Busted Cargo Window

    not sure if it was a bullet. i never found one, and my rear tires were even with a semi's rear tires on HWY 55 S...doing about 75mph. i have just assumed that maybe one of his tires kicked up a rock or something. i got most of the scratches out. i just rubbed really hard with a moist paper...

    Royal Purple ATF

    it does meet mercon specs, so that's a relief. the advertisement says that it's a direct replacement. thanks again!!

    Royal Purple ATF

    will be changing my own tranny fluid soon, and wondered what you all thought about royal purple atf. i was going to buy it because i found a great deal on it in a hometown store, but my husband said i should be leary of a synthetic since i have high miles (120K). should i be worried? thanks-

    cheap mod!!!

    sorry japato...yes, i did just tape off around the badges. actually i used painters tape and plastic garbage bags. i covered my side mirror (so the over spray wouldn't damage the plastic) with plastic, and i taped a plastic garbage bag to the bottom side of the badge. this way most of the...

    Busted Cargo Window

    Had to make an emergency 1800 mile round trip in the expy and managed to get my passenger side cargo (third seat area) window shattered. I pulled over at the next exit and taped it up the best i could. I put a piece of poster board on the inside and plastic on the outside. I even used...

    cheap mod!!!

    i used prestone brake part cleaner and did all of my badges. i did it in october, and i haven't had any problems with them not staying shiney. i found a thread that shows how to do the oval badges that have the plastic coating on top. the badges i'm talking about are the one's in the front...

    From 16 to 12 to 14.5

    well, now i'm at 116K. i'm getting ready to do all the fluids, plugs, and new belt. while i'm under there...i guess i'll take a look at the O2 sensors. i'm going to try a new air filter...True Flow. it's a foam filter, that you can "clean" by blowing compressed air through it. watched a...

    what brand/type shocks to buy ?

    i have the adjustable rancho rsx9000's and they are awesome. i didn't get the in cab adjuster because it was as much as all four shocks. i do a lot of highway driving (so i use setting 2). i do some minimal (once every 6 months) heavy towing (so i use setting 4), and every now and then i...

    I'd Kill for those MPG numbers!!!!

    i tried 87 (like the manual says to use) and i tried 89. i didn't see a huge difference (except in cost). what i have noticed, is that it makes a dirrence which gas station i go to. i seem to get better performance with BP/AMACO gas. i don't get as good with SHELL, and for the money i tend...

    I'd Kill for those MPG numbers!!!!

    i regularly get 14 mpg city and 16 mpg highway (almost 17 mpg). i don't know if you have ever visited this site: www.bobistheoilguy.com it's free to sign up and there's a lot of info on there. i noticed an increase in mpg (~2 mpg) after i treated my engine with auto-rx (can read about it at...

    Cruise Control problem

    my uncle has the F-150 2000 model. he got the recall notice, and when he went to the dealer they told him that there isn't a fix yet. they don't know how to fix the problem so they are just disconnecting it to keep it from igniting and burning your truck up.
