  6. check engine light on, rough idling in the morning

    I just took out plug #6 and they look like they may be the original. They are motorcraft along with the wires, and look old. So i guess i will replace the plugs and wires for now.
  7. check engine light on, rough idling in the morning

    OK, went to Advanced auto after work and the guy used the scanner thing. It read P0306, #6 cylinder misfire. So i guess it might be time for plugs? I have 55,000 on the truck that i bought 2 yrs. ago. What kind of plugs are quality and last? Should i get wires also? How do i reset the check...

  12. WTF! antifreeze resevoir popped while driving?

    Hi, last week i got a new timing gasket, thermostat, and water pump. On the way home the heat needle gauge was going up and down, heat going semi-cold then hot. So i took it back in and the mechanic said they cannot do much about air in the coolant line. He said it might need a head gasket...
  13. 2000 Ford Ranger heater issues

    Hi, i have a 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0L 2wd. A few months ago it started leaking coolant above the tranny. I was told it was a gasket or seal at the timing belt cover? So they put some stop leak in the radiator and all was well for a few months. Well a few days ago i was going out to lunch...
