Actually, it does... not necessarily because it's synthetic, but because the fluid is new. The old fluid compresses due to moisture, contaminants & over-heated fluid that accumulate over time & use, which the new fluid doesn't. There's more line-length (more volume of fluid) going to the rear...

While you're at it, get a quart of synthetic brake fluid, siphon most of the old fluid from the brake fluid reservoir, add in some new stuff, purge/bleed new fluid to all 4 calipers (remember to keep topping off the reservoir so it doesn't go empty). After changing the fluid in my 03 ST...

Not a bad Sunfire there... GT w/suroof & monsoon stereo. Do a google search for "SUNFIRE EVIL EYES"... it looks great with that front bumper style w/fogs and still utilizes the factory headlamps, gives it a more-aggressive appearance. I had a 97 Sunfire convertible with the 2.4 TwinCam &...

I was in Sarasota last week (buying a house) and will be moving there at the end of June.

My 03's cruise also doesn't work at times until the engine is restarted... but at the same time, the horn & all but hi speed on the wipers will not work... turn the key off, start it back up, all is work again. I haven't dug into the column yet to see what's going on. TJ

The remote locks & unlocks like it should, just the horn confirmations doesn't when it's acting up. What doesn't make sense to me is that turning the key to "lock" and re-starting usually fixes it.

My 03 ST XLT 4x4 has been having intermittent issues for a couple months that were rarely but now almost daily. At times the cruise, wipers (except washer & hi speed), and horn will not work, however if I come to a stop, shut off the engine and restart it, all will usually work again. At times...

Sorry guys... I submitted payment to Todd on the 20th, jumped while the jumping was good :banana:

How far is her drive to work? Short winter trips will affect fuel economy worse than if you put a lower-temp thermostat in your cooling system. Air-fuel ratios are affected by coolant temperatures, so until the engine is fully warmed up you'll be using considerably more gas than normal...

Got my 2" lowering blocks from Advance for $25. They had 3" for $30, but I'm pleased with the results I got... gaps look more balanced front to rear now, less like it's nose-diving. TJ

That change made a nice impact LaRue, I like #4 a lot... has me thinking I should get back into doing yellow pages listings again ;) TJ

I like the 3rd one best... the only suggestion I would make for improvement would be to put the business name section above the "we go where" - "located in Sumter" - "LOCKOUTS" section. TJ

^^^ Okay... I'll jump already :banana: Emailing you shortly Todd. TJ

I got the el-cheapo Magnavox units from Wal-Mart. At first I was pissed because I lost a few channels that I used to get, but gained several that I didn't have before. Changing the direction of the antenna made a huge difference though. I had helped an elderly lady change hers over...

Heat is not mandatory... if it were there wouldn't be a frozen foods business. My advice is to dress for conditions. If it's a cold day, wear thermals and multiple layers of clothing, two pairs of socks, etc. I work for a euro-car recycler... My workplace isn't heated either, nor...

Have you done anything to your truck lately? When changing my shocks I had lowered the evap canister above the spare, code came up shortly after. I applied some dielectric grease to the o-ring on the right rear breather hose, put it back together, been fine since, no more CEL. TJ

Household income down 20% due to employer cutbacks. Still doing okay since I live rather frugal, however the new garage probably won't be built in the spring as was planned. TJ

3/36 warranty... Langston's Used Auto Parts in Tampa has cloth seats from an 03 Explorer XLS... doesn't say if it's a Sport Trac or not. www.car-part.com doesn't specify more than just Explorer. TJ

They were just checking to make sure the air bags worked... something they saw in the owners manual to inspect yearly? :wacko: :lol: TJ
