I've run across a '38 pickup for sale which a friend,who knows a little
about the truck, says has a '48 engine (I haven't had the opportunity to
look under the hood).  In any event, before I become too serious about
this truck, are body/interior parts hard to find?  Have a lot of ...

My wifes 98 mystique has a slight jerk when the transmission changes gears.
Sometimes it's very jerky and sometimes it's smooth. The car has 79000
miles on it. Do we just need a transmission flush or could it be the start
of someting more expensive? Also, what kind of ballpark ...

I put Dunlop Rovers on my 2001 Escape at 40K. Seemed quiter at first but
now, 10K later, I hear a lot of "whiring," especially at 30 and 50 mph. Hard
to describe but very faintly like a playing card stuck between the spokes of
a bicycle. The noise doesn't seem to come from ...

Today, our 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis' driveshaft--the part that goes from
the engine to the rear wheels to drive them--fell out. How complicated is
such a repair usually? Is it the death of the car commonly?

I have a '93 Aerostar 3.0 and my heater is broken. I live in Florida so it's
not a huge deal. I figured I'd try one of those 12 volt ceramic heaters. I
figured the more watts a model is rated at, the more heat it would put out.
I found a RoadPro model that's 300 watts! So what is ...

My 97 Taurus 3.0 Vulcan's serpentine belt decided to start giving up the
ghost, which I noted on an  early Christmas Eve look under the hood prior to
a trip to NY for Christmas.  For some reason (its only a year old
replacement belt) the back (smooth) side of the belt is starting to

I have a 1996 Taurus 3.0l Vulcan engine, and I want to disable the A/C for
the winter months, so I can enjoy more cabin heat. I found out that when you
select the defrost, defrost/floor, floor, or vents/floor setting, the heat
output is lessened because the blowing air is mixed ...

Can someone help me with the replacement of the speedometer/odometer/tach
lights that are burnt out!  Easy? Hard?  

I just noticed that the OD in my 18 yr old daughter's 97 Taurus AX4N quit
working. I asked her how long it was cruising at 3000 rpm @ 60 mph she just
gave me a dumb look. However, I wonder if her latest problem may be related.
Her car wouldn't start last night so she copped a ...

3L V-6 with about 60,000 miles getting 25MPG always.  When cold as in 40 to
50 F the engine may stall and die or when just starting down the road at
about 25-30 MPH it may hesitate then pick up and run fine.  No problems when
warm.  No indicators on the dash.  Dealer charged $65 ...

In December I posted a typlical cooling system problem that I have been
having with my 98 Sable.  Basically no heat do to a clogged system.  I had
the system flushed including the heater core and my heat came back.  The
problem now is that I smell antifreeze inside the car when the ...

I have an 89 Aerostar with 125K on it.  I recently put those new Plus 4  4
prong Bosch plugs in, because they were "the best" and any of you that
have ever tuned this thing up, know how hard the plugs are to get at...
(yeah, I did get them all, and not skip #5)

Anyone have any good or bad stories to share about the AWD Ford Aerostars?
I'm looking tor AWD for the New England winters that we have, and I have
had pretty good luck with my 2wd '89...
One thing that bothers me about Ford, is that your can't even get dealer
