Went out yesterday to start the truck.  About 34 degrees so waited a
few seconds after light to engage ignition.  Engine started and then
stumbled and check engine light came on.  I shut it down because it
was running so rough and went out to drain the fuel.  Restarted truck

My 2000 Ford Ranger with 62k miles starts up if I let it sit for a
while, then it starts to sound real mufflie after about a minute at
which point it bogs down and dies.  Then, it usually won't start again
or does just for 10-15 seconds.   At this point, it just cranks over,

Where do I get really good repair manuals for the Ford Ranger?
I have the Haynes from the local auto parts store and it really lacks
the kind of info I need to troubleshoot.  I can read and understand
schematics and other engineering info.  Any good ideas?

Does any one know what ford uses as far as fluids go.  I have a Ford F-250 SD 2006 with Diesel Engine.  I have a small leak somewhere up front and I believe its power Steering Fluid due to the color and the reservoir is lowering slowly as well.  Can I use any type of Powering ...

Another head-scratcher to digest and toss about:
My air bag light. Sometimes, it does what it has to: turn on when
starting, then shut off. But, other (unpredictable) times it will
start flashing a code (3-2, methinks) and stay lit = no airbag service

I have a 2005 F350 Diesel truck.  I have a question about the batteries.
Are the batteries in this truck supposed to be maintenance free?  Mine
are not and there is a plastic covering over one battery that prevents
access to the cells.

Has anyone had any actual experience with one of these?  I am looking
to find out what others have obtained in actual fuel economy for one
of these trucks for this engine, transmission, 2 wheel drive...for
this year and if relevant years of this same series.  Please do not

I have a 2002 F150 Fx4 with keyless entry.  My wife makes deliveries to
customers and a couple of days ago it was 42 below with the windchill up

 a customers door with a delivery and when she returned to ...

Looking throught the classifieds today i found a 1981 f150 step side
4x4 with 400 4spd. the truck has a bad clutch and needs a new one. i
know that the 400 and the 460 use the same transmission, but will the
4spd hold the power of the 460. Also how hard will it be to put a 460

I've got an F140 4x4 (Off road package, extended cab) with 105K miles.
I live in Minnesota where it's been quite cold of late.  As expected,
the tranny takes a while longer to warm up and thus to shift into
overdrive.

I really hope one of you can help.   I have a 1997 F150, 8 cyl. standard
transmission.   It's my late husbands truck But I've become very
attached.
The problem is with the following:

Driving along this day in Midwest, cold.  Heat is working fine and all of a
sudden no more heat.  Check the vent direction and that valve flow appears
to work fine, airflow through respective vents.  Air conditioning definitely
works.  Check of radiator and hose from top to manifold ...
