    Violent shaking/lurching

    Hey, What kind of leak would a pressure test NOT detect? I left a customers house, and found what I belive to be a decent amount of coolant on the ground. Didn't have the AC on so it wouldent be water and my partner said it was kinda grease and tasted like coolant. Cheers Jeff

    Coolant loss

    Hi, I dont think it is anything to do with the head gasket since there is no evidence of puking however the oil cooler is a possibility. There is no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil so I am going to send in a sample and get it tested. Im wondering if maybe its the cap or the...

    Water Spots on Windows..

    Im surprised no one has said it yet but Stoners invisible glass. Best product by far, and its tint safe so you don't need to use multiple different products for inside and out. Invisible Glass cleans windshields, windows, mirrors and glass with no streaks

    EGR Sticking

    So I took it in to ford and the tech said he didn't really want to take my money since it didn't have any signs that he could bill to warentee. He said he could scan it but with no light it would cost me $80 and most likely come back negative and he can't just go replacing parts. He said when he...

    Removing Dash Panels

    Hey, Got the switches put in. They look pretty good although a tiny bit off, hard to do perfectly. My next question is the headliner. How do I remove those little plastic plugs? I thought they just come out but with a little muscle they dont seem to want to pop out. Thanks Jeff
