    Starter Question

    A couple of times this past week I went to start the car and the starter made a noise as if it was just spining free. I would then try again and it would start normal. Whats up with this?

    Any Ford Technicians?

    Thanks guys. I'll demand a rebuilt rear. Im surprised they don't just do it since it is in warranty. If they give me a hard time ill just have to send the wife in to talk to them. LOL (Italian).

    It has the stock tires. Michelin. Would tires make noise under load? The truck is quiet while coasting. RP -:doh:

    STill under warranty. I don't know about the gas cap. They said it was ok. Who is RP? THe howling only happens under load. If i let off the gas it stops. If I sit in the back seat its lowder than the in the front seat.

    Any Ford Technicians?

    I took it in for service because the message center gave a check gas cap code. It was running rough. Ford changed the HIVAC soleniod or something like that. I picked it up and it still runs rough. I then brought it to another dealer and they said they cant find anything wrong with it. What do...

    Red to Black conversion

    Did you spray paint the dash also? Did you used the prep for the final spray die? If so does it seem like it will flake off?

    in the market....is mileage an issue?

    Miles to gallon isnt a good way to check. The leak down test is the best. I just threw in the mpg.

    in the market....is mileage an issue?

    I have 197,000 on mine and it runs great, no signs of stopping. The tranny would be something to worry about with that mileage. I use a quart of oil every 500 or so miles. Don't leak at all. I average 20mpg combined city/hwy. (when my foot isnt on the floor)

    Im looking for a picture of a man holding a sign that says "Get brains morans". He spelt moron wrong. I think he was at a some sort of rally like the women in this picture. Anyone have it or seen it? I last saw it on Rotten.com
