    What did YOU do today?

    the bad experience was a couple years ago. I've had morning appointments ever since. sounds like your situation is much worse, I'm basically in the monitor and use drops category.

    What did YOU do today?

    went to the optometrist for checkup, I'm good to go for a while yet. helpful hint: do not schedule an appointment for late day/evening if you're going to get the eyes dilated. during low light, when street light and headlights are on, dilated eyes will see these as huge fuzzy orbs about 4-6...

    What is leaking? 3.0 ranger 1993

    you can purchase, rent, or borrow cooling system pressure testers from various auto parts retailers. that allows you to pressurize the cooling system without the engine running. much safer when you need to get up close to find the leaks.

    Camshaft install

    still in the vehicle? or on a stand? will you be replacing the cam bearings too? basically, it's easier to state what does not have to come off. when you get down to the head bolts ,, stop. don't touch the exhaust manifolds either. upper & lower intake comes off, valve covers, rockers loosened...

    225/70/15 vs 235/75/15

    my 2005 is the same as yours. with about 370,000 miles on it I've had several sizes of tires. stock was 225 70 15 on 6" steel wheels. I do strictly road use so 235 75 15 ATs were ok, very little difference. the 245 70 16 was a bit too much, definitely slowed it down and a noticeable decrease in...

    Rear Speaker wires

    on base models the rear wires are not there. it is possible to obtain a harness that has them, but I feel it is easier to run new wires from the radio. check the plug at the radio, it may have the rear wires. if it does they go to a big square connector. it's the other side of that plug, the...

    Total eclipse

    we wound up in a field access driveway about 1 mile due south of the McDonalds in Carey, out in open country. had a great view of the horizon. the red prominence at the bottom was a surprise, also it didn't get as dark as I expected. traffic going was great, coming home was the heaviest I've...

    2000 3.0 has vibration/lugging between 1200-1500 RPM in gear and out of gear

    have access to an infra red thermometer??? they can read the temperature on an individual cylinder revealing which one is not firing properly. double check the plug wire order too. did you pull the cam sync unit for inspection? a few drops of oil on it's top bushing won't hurt anything and may...

    04 mountaineer sway bar against 04 edge sway bar

    the coil bars are a couple inches wider to clear the frame bulges for the springs. neither the Sport Track nor 2000 4x4 bars would clear a 2005 coil frame.

    04 mountaineer sway bar against 04 edge sway bar

    the 2001 Sport Track and 2000 Ranger 4x4 are identical in shape/mounting. judging by it's weight it is solid.
