pickups, not sure which diesel engines,and they are not the type of drivers that
would abuse, any thoughts?????

I just purchased an 01 f150 and it has the 'Code Alarm' Ford
dealer installed alarm w/ remote start - does anyone have a
manual for this or know of where I could find one?  I am looking
for how to arm/disarm the system without the siren chirping

The brakes on my Ranger recently went out. (still had a little braking
power). Replaced master cylinder and redid rear brakes (replaced
cylinders and shoes). Bled system. Still only a little braking power.
ABS and brake light stay lighted. Would this mean hydraulic unit needs

1981 F150.  The "S" shaped pin on the upper driver's door hinge broke this
week.  Can I replace just this pin or must the whole hinge be replaced, and
any leads on where to get this part?  I'm looking for new.
Thanks in advance,

I have a 1994 F-150 with a 302-V8. It has 135,000 miles on it. The
engine is making a ticking, or rattling noise at lower RPM while
driving. I assume this is from the valve train.  What could it be and
what should I do about it?

I think my fuel pump is dead. Where do I jumper to make it run with key off?
Someone said the Inertis switch. But that is just an off/on switch in case of
front in collision, The Inertis switch is ok.
I assume there is a relay somewhere. But where?

I have an 87 van with 302 engine.  It runs fine but will die at any
given time (loss of ignition).  Sometimes it will start, run at idle
for several seconds, then die.  The last time it died was going down
the road at 60 MPH.  Sometimes it will start back up.  One time I

The van has seen better days, anyone know where to buy replacement floor
pans ?

This problem is on a  96 Ranger XLT, 2 wheel drive, short bed
I am fairly certain that I have a wheel bearing  going.  The sound that
it makes is speed related to tire and wheel rotation. Hard to describe
but kind of a "critch, critch,critch".  I have tried preloading each

All,
I recently purchased a F150 2004 FX4 SuperCrew with the 5.4 engine.  A
friend of mine this past weekend started raving about the K&N air filters -
and how we could immediately tell a difference in performance the first time

I've an F150 4x2  which is mostly used for hiway driving, with a couple of
NY - LA runs thrown in during the year. Installing an anti-sway bar (rear?)
has been on my mind lately, I was just wondering if anyone with one already
installed think there was noticeable improvement in the ...

I have a '95 Ford Ranger.  I know that on most vehicles, when the
brake pads get to the point they need replaced, the brakes will start
squeaking constantly.
On my truck, they will squeak a little in the morning (which I'm

Although my brakes seem to be working OK, I am hearing a slight hissing
noise under the dash.  This noise almost disappears when I push the brake
pedal in slightly.  These are power brakes.
My first thought was the vacuum host going up to the booster (I believe)

Looking into some information concerning installing  a pair of Hella
500 on my F350.  I have a brush guard up front and it appears that
mounting them on it will not be a problem.  I am concerned about the
wiring and do I just want to wire it directly to the battery and then

I have managed to talk myself into wanting a F-250 Diesel, (crew, 4X4),
used.
The gassers out there seem to take great pleasure in ribbing oilers about
maintenance. In the real world, what are the major maintenance differences?
