If you don't read Scott Burns, you should.  His column today has a
very memorable line.  He's talking about various things that he

I am no expert but this does not sound good.  Today for the first time
my wife's 2003 Explorer started acting weird.  The OD (overdrive)
light on the dash was flashing and the button on the stalk did nothing.
We stopped the car and after a few minutes started it up and the OD

was pretty generic; however,  it did have cool radio with a digital
display that gave the name of the song being played.
When did Ford start offering this (display toon) and is it standard or

Need fitted seat covers to redo these seats.  I don't have a picture of
what they currently look like, as it is in storage.

an owner's manual, but I've read through most of the PDF file at
Ford's genuineservice site.  I see that there is a way to disable/

2002 Crown Vic with automatic cooling/heating.
The door behind the dash board was banging the other day.
I usually keep  the vent open,  and the temp on 60.
I increased the temp to 72 and then the banging started.

I had the privilege of someone either drilling into or punching out the
driver side door lock on my 2005 Expedition today.  They got my
eight year old cell phone and led flash light.
The question that I have, is this an easy fix or expensive fix ?  I have

doors (locks/windows/mirrors)
I am looking to replace the guts of the doors with something I can find from
the scrapyard/ebay/craigslist. I would like to know can I use 150/350/ or

I just got back from a short ride where the wagon started running rough... not
that the engine was misfiring but the transmission started going in and out of
overdrive down into 3rd and back again.  The "check engine" light came on for a

I tried to Google, but came up nothing (well at least no details) on adding

Thanks,
