    The idiots at the ford dealer

    Autozone, Pep Boys, etc. have the clear plastic gasoline siphons. The good thing is that they self primeand remove a squeezer amount at a time. The tubing fits right down the tranny filler tube. With the price of gas, it may come in handy for other tricks!!!

    The idiots at the ford dealer

    I've used a $1.19 gasoline siphon with good luck. The squeezer gets a little warm from the fluid, but it is simple to use.

    The idiots at the ford dealer

    Make sure the car is on level ground and check the fluid HOT! A cheap gasoline siphon works well. Just collect it in a jar so you can see how much you are taking out and check the level often as you remove the fluid. Why did they add fluid th your auto transmission?

    Brake Pad Question

    First, turning down the rotors makes them thinner and MORE likely to heat up and warp again. I would have opted for new rotors as they are cheap (around $30@). Second, i believe starting with the '04s, Ford went to ceramic linings as mine make absoletely NO DUST. Mechanics like to cover their...

    Thanks for the responses! No, I don't stomp on it often. Was just concerned when I heard this noise. Thanks again!

    '04 Automatic Transmission Question

    Yes, and also checked the universal joints, rear sway bar and total under carrage. Car has under 5,000 miles on it - seems very strange. I can replicate bang over and over at 55 MPH.

    '04 Automatic Transmission Question

    Have an interesting noise (bang) with my '04. Cruising at 55 with accelerator maintaining 55 MPH speed and then stomping on accelerator produces a "bang" like a broken transmission mount. If I hit 55 and let off the accelerator and then punch it, it is quiet and just takes off. Had the engine...

    How many miles on your brake pads? Could be the wear indicators. If so, time to change them.

    My Town Car has more low end torque

    Why does my '93 Town Car (4.6 220 HP Dual Exhausts) seem to have a lot more low end torque than my '04 GT? Even my '81 Corvette with only 190 HP seems to have more torque at much lower RPMs. Just curious.

    overheating

    I'll bet you your anti-freeze mix is not 50%/50% (water to anti-freeze) and when it gets to 212 degrees +, it starts to boil and has reduced cooling capabilities and will actually overflow from the expansion tank. Check your mix when the engine is cold with an anti-freeze ball tester. Make...

    Mach 460 rear speakers

    understand, but my question is arethere tweeters that should be playing in the rear? Car has 2k miles on it, so if they are shot, they should be under warranty.
