Ok so I'm getting ready to fix the ranger and I just want to make sure I have the right part name before I order it from a junk yard in kansas and can't return it. Is the arrow in the picture below pointing to the upper intake manifold? I'm referring to the part that connects/bolts to the...

All right, so my bronco desperately needs an engine cleaning/degreasing and I really want to do it myself but I've heard so many horror stories of it going badly or problems that arise from people doing it themselves. Is this something I can do by myself or should it be left to detailing pros...

Alright, finally got the bronco running and thought it would be fun to show ya'll what I've done so far. This is the truck the day I got it First thing I did was buy a repair manual for it. Next I got some new tires to replace the crappy egg shaped ones that were on it already. This is them...

MLK 2012 Ride Alright guys, I’ve been waiting long enough to get back out on the trails and the time has finally come. I will be heading out at 7:00 A.M. on January 16th to ride the trails at sycamore creek. Anyone willing and able to join me at said time (or a little later) is more than...

When I went to get the bronco aligned the mechanic told me the bushings were shot. Well the bronco has a RS400 (or 4000?) 4" lift on it and I was looking at them to make sure they're the same size as the ones I bought from autozone. My question is this. Look in the pic see the bigger bushings...

So last night I got my oil changed and while finishing noticed that the coolant reservoir was low. So I filled it, only to have it all pour out onto the ground. Turns out there's no hose connected to it and the radiator. While looking around the engine bay I noticed a few other places that...

WOOHOO! Finally found a good bronco that is in my price range and had the stuff I wanted on it. I'll be picking it up on Saturday but for now here are some pictures of it.

I'm serious! I've got the cash and this dude is legit from what I can tell. Unfortunately I've got so many hundred miles working against me and can't get there to purchase it. I figure if someone is in the area and can buy it that would be awesome:thumbs: any takers? dead serious...

So now that I've finally got my economy car I'm ready to start saving for a jeep/ weekend toy. Stumbled across one that needs a new head gasket/possibly a new block. How hard would such a project be for an average joe such as myself? Not super serious but there's a few jeeps round here that are...

anyone ever had a stick shift snap on you? like the entire upper half just falls off? This happened to me today on the jeep I'm borrowing and I need to find a way to fix it. It's not entirely clear in the pics but the part the broke off wasn't even the threaded area. from all I can tell is...

Alright guys, I narrowed it down to four models (Camry, Accord, Corolla, or Sonata). It feels like it's taking forever to find "the one" but I think I may have come across it. This one: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/2500846022.html He's asking $9750 for it and it books in good...

Alright guys, I'm looking at trying to sell my truck too. Just decided that it would be better for me to get a better MPG car with all the miles I will be driving during college. Here's the details on my truck 2004 f150 fx4 package 115k miles original tranny and engine runs strong and can...

Thought I should start my own since I'm finally starting to break some ground in mod progress. My Truck as I got it (just cleaned up a little) 1. Threw a bead of silicone around the third brake light to seal up the classic leak, no pictures but pretty obvious how it works 2. Got rid of the...

hey guys just a question for ya'll. I'm looking at getting a cb radio for my truck for when I hit the trails. I'm stuck right now on whether or not to install one or just get a handheld. Now before you say anything please consider what I will be using this for. I go on trails maybe once or...

Alright guys I'm getting ready to buy my new exhaust system abd was wondering what everyone was getting in the terms of price ranges. The shop in my area quoted me $400 installed for true duals with an h pipe, magnaflow/flowmaster muffler, and chrome tips coming out any way I want. What do ya think?

Quick question about the four cats on my year's truck. I know that the first two are the typical DO NOT REMOVE under penalty of law kind of cats. But are the back two some kind of other cat? Someone told me that there was a possibility that they were "resonator cats" and that if they were I...

Hey guys I finally picked up a grill guard with a couple lights pretty cheap off of craigslist, just wondering if anyone had experience with getting the mounting brackets and nuts separately and what it cost them. I'm hoping for no more than $50 but it will be what it is. Anyone have some...

Hey guys just a quick question for all yall I was wondering if any of the Ford techs here know what all is updated on a PCM reflash. Currently I have a low idle while stopped at a red light (400-500RPM). I'm wondering if a PCM reflash will correct this. I've already done everything I can think...

2011 5.0 F150 Review Today I got a chance to test drive the new 2011 f150 FX2 Screw with the 5.0 liter engine while I was at the dealership buying my IWE Solenoid (See my other thread). Here’s a few of my thoughts on it comparing it to my 2004 f150 fx4 Scab and 2010 xlt Screw. First Impressions...

Edit: for those of you who don't know this fix is to prevent water leakage from entering the vacuum lines and causing a grinding noise that is very loud and is the sound of your entire 4x4 system being torn to shreds internally. here's a link to the tsb info...

Well I was having trouble with a low idle and wanted to replace my tb because of it. Some members on the forum suggested otherwise and while it didn't help with my low idle I have heard it helping rough idles and codes involving the throttle body. *DISCLAIMER* This is what is necessary for tb...
