When I reached for the lever I cut my finger, and it was messy and hurt. Had to look down and see what caused it when got home. Photos below. I tried to bend...- nycnftm

Crazy thinking out loud idea and want to know if it has been done and what it looks like.

Antifreeze
Hello I've had my 1997 5.4 for about 3 years now. In 2018 I replaced a whole bunch of stuff and the plan is to not fix anything over $500 again. Since I've owned it the antifreeze looks awful. It was a shade of pink. I used the thing with the balls in it to test it and it says it is fine. I...- nycnftm

Easy Fix, common problem. Dealer extortion?
I have a 97 Eddie Bauer. One of its problems is that it doesn't always go completely in park so I always have to apply the brake. What I think is related to this is that car doesn't think it is in park and the electronics stay on causing it to be dead if I do not drive it daily. I read on...- nycnftm

Parasitic Battery Drain
I have had a parasitic battery drain for as long as I had the truck. (One year) The battery will die after not driving it for about a day. Now it is getting annoying.
