Mowed the lawn and used my newly acquired bodyshop materials and fixed the bumper on my Buick. Before: After:

my guess would be that you have a connection to the solenoid that is not doing well in the cold weather. my guess is that it is probably easy to get to as warming up the transmission/ internal temps are not affecting it, so probably a connection out in the weather under the truck. unplug it...

That Datsun Fairlady! AJ

well... replaced the garage 4' fluorescent lights with 4 foot LED lights that I got from BJ's wholesale for 20 bucks a piece. (missed the sale when they were 17) because one of the two fixtures decided to die.. probably the ballast. also replaced the center stand pipe in the toilet tank as it...

I agree, there is something else in the driveline that is hecking him. if I were to guess, the fuel filter may be plugged especially since he had to clean out the tar out of the fuel tank. there were also some weirdness with the rpms when he pushed in the clutch, so not sure what that was...

For the 3.0 crowd, is it really that slow on the highway? My 4.0 automatic will do 90 easily, although it gets a bit scary in the wind at that speed.. AJ

wasn't sure if PATS was in 99 or not. sounds like you got lucky, go grab a kit from Autozone and drill the old one out. Now you will have two keys, one for the doors and one for the ignition. I would still give your BIL a dope slap lol AJ

99 may have PATS if it is a V6... give your BIL a dope slap, get the free column and pay a dealer or locksmith to set up a new key that fits the new ignition. If it doesn't have PATS, yank the old cylinder out (you may have to drill it) and get the kit at any autoparts store. AJ

Neither, it was the rooster. Glad I could help. AJ

A type of horse. Just like a mustang and bronco. not to be confused with a maverick which is a steer/ cow. anything else I can help you with in animal identification :p AJ

for both cases, I am pretty sure it is not the engineers that were to blame. And while a good generation is between the Pinto and the Escape/ Bronco Sport, the guilty party has the same issue: contol costs even if a few people die from it. that would go on the accountants and senior...

did they not learn from the PR disaster of not adding a 7 dollar fix to keep the PInto from exploding in a rear end collision? SMH... AJ

yes! save that Ranger from spending an eternity rusting away next to a Chevy! AJ

You are in Michigan, you only need A/C like 2 weeks out of the year! AJ
