I, have a1987 mustang gt 5.0 with power locks , mirrors, windows with a
60 amp alternator and it's only putting out 11 amps on the dash metre
when you start the car also turn on lights and rpm gauge goes from 1000
at idle to o just wondering if I should go with a bigger alternator

Besides being crap rated on Consumer Report, Ford sponsors gays which shows
that the Michigan based company is a sicko.  I hope they go down the toilet
with all the rest of the SUV's.

i have this big old van and i am afraid the transmission went out. I have
had it for 4 plus years. It seemed to rev up and not really go like it
should, so i parked it. Just on time, because it wouldn't move after i
backed it in the driveway.

Just bought it recently,   some  questions:
1.Do  the  red lights in the two front doors   light up  when  the
doors are opened ?,  mine don't .
2.Even following the manual instructions I still can't get  the AM/FM

very fast idle i cheched vac. lines and linkage both ok what  should i
do now. it has a 3.8 v6

It took me a week to get around to it, but I finally pulled out the
injectors. I found my problem, I think - the plastic around the outlet
side of the suspect injector was cracked. I blew the piece out of the
block and I THINK the problem is gone, though obviously I want a new

My 98 Windstar / 94K miles has one helluva rattle that seems to be coming
from the right front that's noticible mostly in bumpy parking lots.  I don't
believe it's a bad strut, as I have full control of the vehicle, no slop in
the steering.

2003 f-250 Super Duty. This has a lousy 3.58 or something like that rear
end.  I would like to see about changing it to a 4.11 or so ratio in.
Wondering what I would have to do.  Buy an entire rear end assembly?  Some
portions within?  Where to purchase?  Also. It's 4wd. Do I need ...

Anyone know the smart key operating frequency?
 Thanks.

I just found some old receipts and realized that the quick lube place
put _10W40_ in my 98 Escort. All my tapping problems started after this
date. (Fortunately no cold weather). This engine was originally speced
for 5W30, though Ford later recanted and told people to use 5W20.
