   I've got a 96 Ranger 2wd 137,000 miles, that's making an intermittant
whining noise when rolling, not affected by application of brakes or by motor
revs.  We've checked the brakes, nothing is rubbing or loose, in fact we
replaced the front shoes just because we had access at the ...

Are these trucks incredible deals???
They seem real cheap.

I have a 99 F150 SC 4x4 4.6 with auto trans.  Has anyone had any mods
done to their auto trans to make it shift more 'positively'?  When I am
driving in the hills, the transmission just doesn't seem to spend much
time locked in and the shifting is quite mushy.  I think that the

I have a new 03 Ranger that I've had for 2.5 months. I put a cd in the slot
on the radio and it won't come out. The dealer wants to take the radio out,
send it to a non-Ford repair and charge me for the problem. My question is
this: Can I free up this disc without the lame ...

I recently purchased a low-mileage, 2001 F-150 super crew with cloth seats.
When purchased, the driver's seat had a small hole in the cloth.

Hello to everyone.
I just bought a 1990 F-350 4x4 diesel to use as a work truck. It needs
a bit of work, so I was looking for shop manuals. I see that some of
the manuals (at Helm), are for Super Duty, and some are not. What is

I just checked out the Tekonsha tranny temp gauge installation
instructions.
They show that it should be installed downstream of the cooler, in other
word on the return line where the cooled fluid is going back to the

Hi y'all,
I've recently purchased a nice '92 F-150. Well taken care of by the previous
owners.
I found a paper in the glovebox saying I can't use the truck for a slide-in

I have a Ford F-250 and am looking for an overhead storage solution . The
only one I can find so far is Shelf-It which attaches to the stock sun visor
bolts. The deluxe package claims to have two 12volt outlets.

Is there a chart of year v. engine v. model v. tranny somewhere?
I have a '00 E150, with the 5.4L engine, and would like to know what
transmission I have in there.
A chart would be useful in researching tranny failures due to towing loads.

Hi...
I need to tune up my 1995 Ranger, 4.0. Anyone can guide me what I need to
get the parts or kit?  Recommend what the brand of spark plugs and the other
parts like filters.

Headed home from work last night and made the last stop before turing
on to my street and heard a gawd-awful grinding noise from the rear
end.  Pulled into the driveway and heard it again.  Popped the rear
