    dealer woes

    Hi folks, Need some advice. I'm having some problems with the dealer. Here's what happened: I had a swivel housing leak on my front passenger wheel and my upper rad hose was leaking at the plenum chamber connection. I decided to let the dealer fix the swivel housing leak and while they were at...

    drifting to left

    I had my front passenger swivel ball resealed yesterday by the dealer (big freakin mess by them by that's another story) and I've now noticed that my truck drifts to the left when I brake. Could this be related to the swivel job? Thanks, Al

    friggin window regulator...

    Is there something I'm missing here? I'm putting in a new window regulator on my driverside window. The motor mounts onto the regulator itself but how do you know where abouts the motor should be positioned on the teeth so that when you put the regulator back in, the bolt holes all match up...

    BMW 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine

    I recently found a 1985 D90 for sale that had a BMW 4 cylinder turbo diesel put in it. I'm just wondering if there's anyone here that has heard of this conversion being done before with any thoughts and if this engine is a decent one? This truck also had it's original frame changed over to a...

    Fuel Pump Fuse Amp??

    Can someone here verify what the fuse amperage is supposed to be for the fuel pump? My owners manual says 5A but I just noticed that there's a 15A fuse that someone stuck in there. This truck was driven by a LR exec before (I'm the second owner) so basically LR owned until I bought it so curious...

    Charging System Indicator

    Hi folks, If there is a problem with the charging system, shouldn't the battery LED light up? It only comes on when the truck does a system check when you turn the key to position 1 and then after that it goes out with the other lights like everything is fine. What I'm seeing is my battery...

    What's to come??

    Hey folks, Just got back from the dealer this morning for some work I needed done. I found out a little while back that the dealer was recently bought by a couple brothers who own Ford dealerships. Apparently since then, almost everyone who worked at the dealer prior has left. In fact I found...

    Some crazy sh#@!!

    I was at the dealer yesterday picking up some small clips I needed for my center console (had that wood stuff where the gear selector is - changed it out to the rubber mat) and while I was there I asked how much the rear ladder cost. You know what they told me?? $500!!! Holy crap! Why don't...

    Backpack rack experiences

    Yea you're right Robbie. We should start a separate thread for it. Thanks for the info about the rack. I think it's a great rack and love the concept. I just wondered because when I put the roof rails on my truck, the dang thing was so noisy I took them off so was curious about whether the...

    Is my hearing going??

    Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. My radio seems to be getting softer. Over the years, I've noticed that I've had to turn the volume up a little more to hear the radio. I'm not that old and don't think I have a hearing problem so was wondering if it's normal or possible for the...

    fuel pump or something else?

    Hey folks, I just noticed tonight that I hear a "gurgling" sound coming from the gas tank area. I think it's the fuel pump but I've gone through the archives and it sounds like it could be a couple different things and wondered if anyone else has ever encountered this sound and knew what it...
