My driveway is probably a 20 degree grade, I mash the ebrake pedal to the floor, put it in neutral and it doesn't hold for squat. I meant to get it looked at during my last state inspection, but forgot to tell them. I know how to work with drum brakes, I just don't like it and when I've tried...

'04 Sport Trac, 4X4, limited slip rear, 80K miles. When I come to a stop and then take off again, I feel a strong vibration throughout the truck. It has done it for quite some time, I'm not sure when it started but it has gotten worse lately. This is my first limited slip rear, I initially...

Someone on Ebay will for $36 take your assembly, repair what's wrong and check all switches/lights if you don't feel like doing it yourself. I think that includes return shipping as well.

Does the cruise control go through that connector? I've had some weird symptoms over the years, and it could be because of that connector. For about 6 months, when I hit the turn signal either way the lights would come on but not blink. Somehow it fixed itself and started working properly...

I've got interior panels off of my '04 for other reasons, thought I might look into an audio upgrade while things are opened up. My XLT Premium has the factory Pioneer 6 disc changer and the sub woofer. I would much rather listen to what's on my Ipod rather than mess with CD's, and I listen to...

Can you give details on the symptoms and the fix for the cruise and E-brake issues? I'm having issues with both on my '04.

How do you get to the wiring connector? For about 4 months I had the turn signal issue where it would just stay lit up and not blink. Suddenly it stopped doing it, but at the same time the cruise control stopped working. I'm thinking the wiring harness connector must have rocked the other...

What's the problem with cross terrains? I have them on mine, much better than the crapyears. Not the best in snow, but we've had a lot this winter and I haven't gotten stuck. Ride is OK, too.

So for the past year I would get code P0442 jpop up very intermittingly, like once every couple months. I have just reset it and it stayed off for a month or so. Earlier this week, the Check Fuel Cap indicator came up, I checked cap and seemed fine, but it continues to come up every time I...

Is it the 4WD not disengaging or is it just the auto locking hubs not unlocking immediately? I was surprised when going from my '93 Ranger which had directions to back up to unlock the hubs to my ST which gave no direction. Thanks for the taking foot off the gas tip above, I had never heard...

Any pics of the evap canister? I'm not sure which piece that is.

Mine went last spring at 5X,000 miles. I think I paid a little over $100 for a new one from the dealer, and it was a royal pain to replace. Took me and a buddy 2 evenings to get the old one off and the new one on. And the loaner tools from Autozone didn't help too much, I ended up fabbing my...

It was 8 years between when the first bombing of the WTC took place and 9/11. These guys will plan things out for years. They'll wait it out for the right opportunity.

I was in traffic on the DC Beltway. The plane that hit the Pentagon probably flew right over my head.

Somebody earlier mentioned that it takes two sides to sign a labor agreement. My comment was directed more towards them. Unions were necessary in the '20's and '30's, as there was a lot of business corruption. In the 21st century, we are deep in a global economy, and unfortunately we have...

These people build up what the union will do for the employee, but don't say any of the downsides. They candy coat what they are selling just enough to get people that don't know exactly what is going on to sign these cards. Especially if they are given a free lunch. Some will sign just...

I have nothing against the hard working men and women that make up the unions, they have great training programs, they just have leadership that uses bad tactics to get people on their side. I'm not allowed to hang a non-business oriented calendar in my office because if I do, it will be...

Thanks for the responses. I'll change the battery this weekend! (swamped at work this week)

Man, how many of those can there be. Battery to block and block to firewall is easy, how can I find out how many others there are?
