    can i use stock radio from mach 460 w/o cd player?

    I have a Mach 460 \wo a CD and picked up 2 used factory cassettes on e-bay and both had the same problem you describe. It must be somthing about the head units wanting the CD player for some reason. I gave up and got a Panasonic unit at Fry's for $110 that has dual preouts (4 plugs are very...

    Wierd Steering Column ignition problem

    I got mine at the dealer for $40 and they cut the door bumps for free with two keys. Locksmiths wanted $120 to do it. FYI, the auto parts keys won't open the doors or trunk so you will have to use your old key for them and new key for the ignition. The dealer key opens everything but the glove...

    What else can cause rotors to keep warping??

    Is your friend torquing the lug nuts to 85-105 ft-lbs in a star pattern? If he is over or under torqing, it can cause the rotors to warp. Make sure he isn't getting any fluid leaking on the pads. If that is okay, check the bearings and spindle for run out. You'll need a dial indicator to check...

    RCA plugs + -?

    I really don't like the thin wire on the RCA plugs and I'm going to buy bare plugs and soldering them with thick wire. From what I remember the center part of the plug is the positive and the rim is negative. Is that correct?

    pcv valve replacement

    I just did this, get the Motorcraft PCV part. The ones they push in the stores have a 90 degree bend on the top. The hoses on my engine were hard and would not bend to fit. Pick up the wire mesh screen that goes under the PCV and a gromet too. FYI, the easy way to get the screen out is to hit it...

    Remove crank bolt, engine is on stand

    What is a good way to remove the crank bolt from the engine when it's already on a stand and without a flex-plate? I don't want to damage the crank and I'm worried that sticking a pipe in between the stand studs and the flex-plate bolts would damage the crank. Using a breaker bar on a single...

    spark plugs??

    I'm pondering this on my 94 as well. I was thinking, the easiest way for my truck was to remove the tire and fender splash shield to get a better line to the plugs. As anyone tried this tactic on a Mustang? :bang:

    what are thumpers?

    Just a note, 96 Explorer heads are GT-40, but 97 and up are 'P' heads. I think in late 97 they don't have the EGR air injection ports. That may or may not affect emissions, since from what I've read the air injection is re-routed after the engin is hot, and you take emissions test with a hot...
