    Question Park Assist switch seems to be broken

    So installed new switch and exact same problem: stays lit in off position, every other push of the switch, the yellow light flashes off but then back to yellow as soon as you release the switch. Any one have any ideas? Appreciate it.

    Question Park Assist switch seems to be broken

    Ok, wasn't sure of the name, but that sounds right...backup alarm off switch. So heres the deal: When I back up and approach an object, i get no audible tone. I'm assuming because the switch is toggled in the off position. The off light is lit and no matter how many times I push the switch...

    Thanks to both of you! so under the hood your 2003 excursion looks like my 2004 F-250? cool. another question: what is the purpose of removing the shroud? is that so you have more room to work? I know i sound like a noob, its because I am. Glad I'll be in capable hands tomorrow.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    this weekend, I replaced, the rear brake pads, emergency brake pads, rotors, oil bath seals on axles, and brake backing plates. I still have to adjust the emergency brakes because they don't "hold" the vehicle when engaged. When up on the jack, I had them tightened enough to stop the wheel...

    Identifying High Idle Mod

    Newbie question: when my truck is cold and I turn it on, and let it sit for a bit to warm up...invariably within 2-3 minutes, the idle jumps up a bit, and stays steady at an accelerated RPM. maybe around 1200-1500 RMPs. I was reading about the high idle mod, and wondering if this means I have...

    Maiden Maintenance Voyage on 6.0

    Took my first peek under the truck today, and immediately saw what appeared to be an oil leak around the oil pan, and transmission. Is this normal? I never see oil droppings on the ground where I normally park it. What should I do? Do I need to replace some gaskets? HEre are some pics:

    Underbody Rust

    Here is an example of the rust I am trying to treat. Tankerdude...from your experience, I can just paint over this and it will stop the rust? How does my rust look? Par for course, or pretty bad? I don't know how to judge...
