I was referring to the air filter box. I took some images and my pvc valve looks like the one in your post. So please what is the correct on for the pcv? I think my hose is OK. It twists off the valve cover but I might snap off plastic tabs inside the valve cover? there is still the throttle...

Trying to learn about PCV valves, throttle bodies, air filters, IAC, & MAF. I used to just tell the shop that I needed a tune-up, but they keep the vehicle several days, and besides, I can use the money I save for other car stuff. So there is oil in the air filter canister, so I guess the PVC...

Thanks! I have some research to do! What's a good shop manual

Is there a concise guide to performing a "tune-up"? When I was younger, a "tune-up" was plugs, points, condenser, plug wires and air filter, but things have changed, and that was decades ago. I read where the ST spark plugs are easily broken. There are several sensors which should be routinely...

The aluminum wheels on my 2002 are stuffed and blemished. Can they be refinished?

So I think I'll go with Monroe OESpectrums #37122 front and #37035 rear. Parts places get about $65.00 but they're $40.00 online. I'll do the work on the paved driveway. Not exactly sure where to place the jackstands. Comments?

Thanks for the comments! I use the vehicle onroad, although I might go 4WD on the beach occasionally. The roads in NE Florida are really terrible; one continuous infrastructure project, so I want to smooth out the ride. TIA

2002 ST I want to put on shocks to compliment the new upper and lower ball joints, tires, and chassis mounts! TIA

There is a hex nut which holds the clutch plate. I had tp use some large water pump pliers on the outside of the clutch plate while loosening the nut. Plate pulled off and there was a spacer in there which removed, then reassembled to see if the clutch engaged and released. It did and the A/C...

One of the cab pads is near the latch edge of the door. The bolt is behind the seat. Maybe pill the seat forward to expose the storage are back there. Roll down the window and repeat your test to see if it localized the noise better. Sounds like that bolt might have loosened up a little. I'm...

Is the sound constant while the engine running? While the vehicle is moving or stationary? When you hit a bump? Inside the vehicle or underneath? Towards the front or the rear? My bet would be that while jacking up the vehicle and see[rating the cab from the chassis something got displaced or...

I can't offer a guess without a better description. Maybe the jack wasn't properly stowed away.

I didn't think to try WD40 on it, and usually I try to fix everything with either WD40 or duct tape (LOL) The clutch would not suck in by turning the ignition key which was the tip on a YouTube video. I held the clutch disk with some extra large waterpump pliers, and loosened the 8mm nut with a...

That's what I thought, and that's the time they quoted and billed. I didn't want to get involved with torching the bolts to free up the locktight, and actually figured the bolts would all be torn up, but they reused them.

I will try my outside side mirrors next.

It was a .040" washer I removed. It passed the morning evaluation!

The electric lock on the driver door which hadn't worked in several years now works.

My grandson stood on my armrest going from the front passenger seat to the back, and it is cracked up badly; the hinge assembly, the armrest part is cracked and even the cup holder is damaged. (I probably did a lot of damage myself in the ten or so years of bad road I've owned the truck) The...

My shop installed the prothane pads (about $120) for $288 and the ride is smoother and quieter, better on the bumps, and the Door Ajar light is out because the driver door close and seats properly. I do not think I could have done it in a reasonable amount of time out in the driveway, so I am...

I removed a shim from the compressor last night. There was only one shim in there. Test drive today.
