    Ants

    Anybody have any secrets for killing ants? I have a ton of the little black ones ( I think they are called pavement ants) getting into everything. They are walking across the clothes line and going into the house. I have put out Terro bait trays and put Terro on and around the clothes line...

    Lower steering knuckles loose?

    My truck is wandering a bit so I had the kid turn the steering wheel back and forth and it appears that the lower steering knuckles are loose. The top bolt/nut part does not turn but all of the bottom part that is visible appears to be turning in the hole. Also, the on the left appears to have...

    CPS Recall

    I just got a recall letter from Ford for the CPS. Said they will replace it or reimburse you if you have already had it replaced. I replaced mine at 90k even though it was still working and keep the old one under the back seat for backup. I am hoping I can get a new one out of them for free.

    Long Starts

    I have noticed my truck is taking longer and longer to start. Today it took way to long, 4 or 5 seconds. It has ~156k on it with the original glow plugs. I have not replaced them because I have the CA model with glowplug controller and I thought it was supposed to give you a SES light if any...

    Front Wheel Bearings

    My truck ate the front wheel bearing today while I was out. Now after $210 tow truck bill it is back home and I am wondering where is the best place to get a replacement bearing? Napa wants to sell the whole hub and it is over $400. Is that the only way to go?

    Transmission question

    My truck has 138k on it and the torque converter seems to be getting a bit weak. I have never really pulled hard with it so I am hoping the rest of the tranny is fine. I am thinking of putting in a new 5R110 torque converter (they fit right?) and doing the full Transgo Tugger kit install. Do...

    Nasty Fire

    We are gettng smoked out by this sucker. Just got back from Home Depot with the fancy 3M Ultra Allergen filters, hopefully they will clean the air in the house a bit better the the ones we had in there. Really gets nasty at night. Looks like it was about 10 miles from my house but it is...

    Stereo Stuff

    Anyone here have the Kenwood DPX-701? It is supposed to have a built-in G force meter. I like how it looks as well, I think I am going to get one: http://www.kenwoodusa.com/products/ListProduct.aspx?k1=2&k2=46&k3=173&pr=2376 Also, what is up with Ford and their sillya$$ 6x8" speaker size...

    ICP#s

    I just got an Autoenginuity scanner and I am wondering what the ICP#s should look like since I had a P1211. Currently they are ~600psi at ~9% duty cycle idling and max out at ~2,400psi at ~55% duty cycle. Does that sound normal? Another thing I am wondering about is my exhaust back pressure...

    SES Light

    How many starts does it take to make the SES light reset? I think (hope) I set it with an overboost but it still has not gone off after about 6 start cycles.

    EBPV Actuator question Help quick please!!

    I have the turbo out and I took the EBPV Actuator apart in the turbo pedestal to see if it is leaking. I am not terribly impressed with the seals in there but it looks like it does not matter if it leaks a bit because the oil just runs back down the return. My piston seal is pretty hard and...

    Turbo removal

    I am removing the turbo in search of an oil leak and I have everything off or loose but I cannot get the incoming exhaust clamp to let go, any tricks? I just pried the one on the output off with a screwdriver.

    Oil Leak near Turbo

    I have been loosing oil every oil change and this time the whole bottom of the tranny and the back of the engine is covered. I thought it was the turbo pedestal seal but I cannot see any oil leaking out around the pedestal. I cannot see the very back side of the turbo on the exhaust side...

    Tugger Questions

    I am planning on installing the Tugger kit soon and I have a few questions. I noticed in the directions that there are two types of valve bodies that require different drilling, will my 2000 be the one the requires a lot of holes or just a few? What holes sizes do you all recommend for the...

    Transgo Kits

    Does anyone know the difference between this: Tugger and this: Non-tugger I am suspecting the non-tugger is just valve body mods and no pump mods, is that correct? Would it work since I do not plan on doing the pump mods anyway. I asked this on another site and got good answers...

    Door Controls going out

    My passenger side door has been acting up. First the locks were taking a few hit to unlock and now the window is intermittant. Is this just coincidence or could I have a ground going bad or something?

    Cleaning the Intercooler

    I have been thinking of cleaning the intercooler since I put the CCV mod on but I am wondering if it is worth it. Do you get much juck out? I just pulled the top hose and it only had about 2 drops in it and the tube and turbo monifold were nice and clean. I am starting to think that most of...

    Shudder during braking

    My truck has been shuddering during braking for awhile. I thought it was the front rotors so I replaced them along with the pads but it had no effect. Everything in the front seems to be tight and the tires seem to be round but there is a strong front back shake when stopping. I can drive...

    Exhaust Systems

    I am thinking about getting a new wxhaust system and I was wondering if there was any great difference between any of the major brands. Do any sound better than ther rest or work better for some reason? Right now I am looking at the Magnaflow for ~$685.

    Motorcycle problems

    I have a 1983 Honda Magna V45 and it is running like the choke is closed at low PRM and does not want to start easily. As soon as you open the throttle it takes off like normal but when you let of it sounds like the choke is closed or the ignition is turned off. It does not pull much vacum and...

    ELF Strike

    We just had a bunch of ELF (Earth Liberation Front) dorks strike a Sacramento neighboorhood and wreck a bunch of SuperDuties by spray painting ELF on them and slashing their tires. These people are really pathetic and need to be worked over with a hose for awhile. How do the morons think that...
