If you hooked up gauges before you turn on the AC the pressure should be X psi. Then after the AC is turned on the pressure should go down. It should be maybe 50 psi depending on the ambient temperature. It doesn't hurt to overfill by a little. Did you replace the filter dryer?

The frame on my 02 is rusting on the passenger side between the bed and the cab. I need to know if anybody knows of a frame shop that can repair this.

So I was trying to replace the serpentine belt on the 4.0L. Well I got the old belt off but I just couldn't get the new belt on. Without an appropriate tool I went this route. Yes it is a piece of pipe with a ratchet duck taped to the inside of the pipe. Worked great with plenty of leverage. I...

On Tuesday morning I go to start the truck. 02 Ranger 4.0 FX4. It turns over but won't start. I apply gas and it runs but I have to keep it at around 3000 rpm to keep it running. I start to left off the gas slowly and finally the rpm jumps up and the truck can hold an idle. It seems to run fine...

I have an 02 ranger 4.0. The battery was the original until this past week. I have been noticing that when I go to start the truck up the voltage gauge (gauge is factory on the instrument panel) is down then comes right back up slow but not that slow. The battery voltage before I started was...

I heard that they were going to raise users fees. One of the fees was to make some of the roads in Southern Ohio toll roads, like they do around Chicago. I heard they are talking about a toll on a bridge or bridges so they can be finished. I wondering if anybody heard anything about this.

For awhile I had an exhaust leak in the muffler and also at the spring coupler near the cat. When driving on the highway I would notice the truck would downshift when going up slight grades (slight inclines on a manual you wouldn't downshift for them). I could tell by the tach. Well I had the...

Just got back from Boone in Wilkesboro and there's a few dead deer on the roadside if thats any indication.

If you want to recover a vehicle that has a run down battery why not just carry a hand crank generator? It would be lighter or the same weight as a battery and have more uses. Also I would think that a natural disaster that causes a loss of services for a week would be at the top of the list...

I think it depends on what you want to use the rifle for. If your going for target then you might want to build your own. If you just want one to plick with look around and see what kind of deals you can get. You will have to get a lower receiver from a dealer with an FFL unless you buy a blank...

They won't let you shoot a steel core bullet at the range. I think it damages the backstop.

This morning the price of gas was 3.32 and 3.34 at 2 seperate gas stations. This afternoon the price of gas is 3.62 and 3.64. This was in less than 5 hours. Did anybody notice?

A little background. It's a 55 T-Bird that has a 6 volt electrical system with the positive going to the body and the negative going through the wiring. Soem more background. First the car wouldn't start as in turn over sometimes it would turnover sometimes it wouldn't. The lights on the dash...

Had the same problem on my 02. Wehn coming to a stop after the speed was below 10 mph the brake pedal would drop adn the ABS would kick in. Had the garage look at it. The ABS wasn't getting any signal below a certain speed. Had both hubs replaced. I heard you can replace the sensor for a lot...

Heres the story. My brother gets 2 tires for free. They look brand new they still have the nubs on them from when they were cast. So we mount the one go to the tire balance machine put weights on the outside then the inside turn on the machine again and the machine shows zeros which means the...
