I have a new 2003 E-150 Econoline cargo van that keeps losing hubcaps from
the right front wheel. Have lost 3 in the last 1400 miles. Dealer replaced
the wheel last time thinking it was defective but lost number 3 hubcap just
last week from the new wheel.

In one day, my driver's side window went from perfectly operating to not
going up at all.  Definitely sounds like a stripped cog.  The truck "only"
has 130K on it, is there an easily replaceable cog, or does the unit itself
have to be replaced.  Is this a known problem (i.e. they ...

I have a 1990 Ranger that has a leak causing water from rain or
melting snow to accumulate on the floor boards of the drivers side.

On a 2002 4WD ext cab 4L V6 Ranger XLT automatic, has anyone gone from the
stock 245s to 265s when replacing tires, and if so what are the results and
your opinions. TIA     Mark S.

I'm not Scrape, but hope this helps.
Also, I once helped on a front end rebuild on one.  Pain in the a.s, but it
can be done at home if you have jack stands, floor jack, and the tools.
Better with two people like we did.  Go ahead and put some quarters in the

The dealer wants $125 bucks for a new key and to reprogram it.  I found a
web site ( http://www.nvo.com/chipkeys/displayroom1/ ) that offers ford
chipkeys for $16.50 and said I could reprogram the key myself, check the
owners manual.  I checked the owners manual and it said I could ...

Anybody useing Synthetic automotive antifreeze in their truck? If so how's it

I have a 97 f150 extended cab. The rear window (sliding) is leaking on the
passenger side. I have read that it is a design flaw with the window, and
the whole window should be replaced. I have also heard that it is the
"halo"? What is that? And how much do you think this would ...

hi have a f150 xlt w/ 5.0... Just recently the steering became jerky and
   lacked fluid movement.  It seems to be getting progressively worse.
 It's like the power steering kicks on, then off.... especially at low
speeds.  It's very jerky, and the car wheel doesn't wind back ...

I'm looking for someone who carries a timing belt kit for my 91 Ranger
(belt, tensioner, etc..) rather than buying the parts individually. Can
anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I was wondering, will
performing aftermarket modifications to my 2003 F150 void the warranty.
A magnaflow exhaust and an Airforce One air intake kit are what I had in
mind.

What's the best way to lock down the hood on my '79 F-350?
Would prefer not to drill holes for hood pins.
Is there a source for the locking hood latch, and did they work?
Thanks for any info, you can see pics of the truck on my site below.

I have a 1988 F350 4x4 with a 5.8l 351W.  Anytime I drive the truck I have a
hesitation on light acceleration but not when I put the pedal down.  I ran
the test for trouble codes and it tells me I am running rich (which I can
smell).  The check engine light comes on after about 20 ...
