    Look what came out of my truck today

    Bought a custom set of Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2mm spark plug wires years ago for around $90 with hopes of ANY performance or MPG gain. Nope, not even my "butt dyno" could tell a difference. In hindsight I should have bought TWO sets of OEM Motorcraft WR-6120 wires for around the same price. Must...

    And mechanics gloves just don't work when replacing spark plugs. It requires "feel", and you lose all feel using clumsy and sweaty gloves. Must say, the "easy" job that embarrassed me was PCV valve replacement. Hard metal coolant line and frustration from confinement caused me to break the...

    Look what came out of my truck today

    ^ YES, Motorcraft SP-500 FTW! Those are probably Autolite AP103 (copper center electrodes) and don't appear to be plated. Don't care what many say about not using copper or nickel anti seize on threads because it affects torque and grounding. I will always use anti seize sparingly on ANY plug...

    o_O Wow, surprised it wasn't misfiring. Bet they were screeching loudly on the way out. Replaced with Motorcraft SP-500 or Autolite 103 Series?

    Drivers seat

    Those two bolts shown in your first pic are usually NOT the issue. If DIY, you'll need to remove the rear seat cover and inspect the UPPER bolt mentioned in the TSB. If you don't want to go that deep I would call an automotive upholstery shop before any Ford dealer unless it will be covered as a...

    2002 ST Stalling when first starting

    Fuel filter OK? Intermittent issues are the worst. I haven't used ForSCAN yet, but sounds like live data would be the easiest way for you to diagnose. If you have access to a Windows laptop all that's needed is a $20 dongle and a free download. Reported to be useful as a dealer only machine...

    Drivers seat

    I believe I got my seat back to "lock" in position after moving it all the way forward and back several times. This a good reminder because it's a very serious safety issue in case of a collision and/or air bag deployment. IIRC, the repair involved removing the seat back cover. I'll continue to...

    Drivers seat

    I had that reclining issue with my manual driver seat, but only once since I'm the only one that drives the vehicle. IIRC, I sat in the seat and put slight pressure on the seat back while lifting the lever. Seat back released, I adjusted, and haven't moved it since. I believe there was a...

    Powder coating adrenaline wheels

    Those came out great. Lowest quote to clear powder coat my "teardrop" rims was $150 each, but that was mobile. Doesn't sound like they dismount the tires from the rims. I'll keep looking.

    2001 Sport Trac V6 - Upper oil pan bolt specs

    I don't usually order from FPG, but their parts listings usually show hardware specs. See "related parts"below diagram. https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-bulkhead-assy-front_1l5z-6675-aa.html

    Driver side fender

    ^ Agree. Search for reputable body shops in your area and get estimates. Looking at OP's pic $500 does sound very low to me unless it's a hack or moonlight job. JMO

    Driver side fender

    OK, I can see why you're having a hard time finding one. Hollander link mentions Adrenalin, but still vague. Good luck with your search.

    Rattling and growling while driving

    No check engine or flashing engine light indicating a misfire? Diagnostic trouble codes usually don't apply to mechanical drivetrain issues, but I'd scan for stored trouble codes before driving further. Have you heard the same "marbles in a can" rattle after startup or other times? Heard similar...

    Parts Wanted Looking for Chrome Tail Lights

    Appear slightly different, but free shipping is a plus. IIRC, I paid around $130 shipped to Hawaii around ten years ago. I have the black versions of these "Anzo" or "Euro" tails and they have held up well...
