    Question About Intercooler Bolts - NO, Not What Size Are They

    Pulled my blower to fix a leak in the cooling system...for the 3rd time. Went to screw the intercooler back to the blower with NEW Ford bolts and they snapped. My rented torque wrench must be WAY off because I had it set at 18 inch/lbs. It never clicked to warn me. Having trouble finding...

    Spark Plug Is Too Far Down In Head - Can't Get Socket On It

    First time I've ever heard of this happening. It has a Heli-Coil Save-A-Thread on it, which is why I'm trying to remove it so I can install a Time-Sert. But it's too far down into the head to get the socket on it to remove. I'm assuming I somehow managed to smack the Heli-Coil insert down...

    Hestitation When Accelerating From 1st Gear - How to check with Predator?

    I get a very slight hesitation when I accelerate in 1st gear. It's only 1st because if I am above 1300 rpms or so there is no hesitation. If I rev the car at a stop (to about 1500 for example) and then accelerate it is fine, NO hesitation. So after the initial acceleration in 1st, going...

    How Do I Remove Steering Column - Need to get to the wires

    My right blinker only works if my steering wheel is tilted all the way up. As soon as I tilt it down, the indicator in my dash blinks fast BUT the rear blinker doesn't light up at all. After some research, seems to be a common problem in Ford trucks. So I need to get to the wires in the...

    Coolant Leak - Looks Like Water Pump (Pictures Inside)

    Noticed I'm leaking coolant. It only appears to leak when the fan kicks on. After doing some research, I'm thinking the water pump is leaking from the weep hole. I was looking under the car while it was leaking. There is a tiny gap between the lower crank pulley and the oil pan, it was...

    Interior Lights Are Out - Wire Is Touching Metal Somewhere

    Interior lights went out a few weeks ago. Checked the fuse and it was blown. Put a new one in, blew instantly. So I drove around for a few days with no interior lights. Randomly decided to try another fuse. Worked...for a few days then blew again. So I'm guessing a wire is touching...
