    2005 6.leaker little/no heat

    So as the temps have been gradually falling, I've discovered that I lack anything close to acceptable heat output. At idle it's cold and while cruising it's lack luster at best.The cooling system seems full, hoses are solid and reservoir is full. I'm Thinking either the control valve isn't...

    Hot heated seats

    Yes, I know they're supposed to be. Question is, is there an auto on program? I've read there's one with factory remote start and the system set to auto; BUT, I don't have remote start. I get in the truck, close the door then start it and every now and again on a regular basis the seats turn on...

    HydroVac retrofit

    Would it be a worthwhile upgrade to these trucks? I know it's a great system on my F600. Just thinking about a better system for the smaller trucks that is inexpensive.

    Wheel identification

    Found a set of nice 16" wheels for my '68, I think.They're not marked as to what they belong on, no GM, FoMoCo, or Dodge markings.I did find the number 170 cast into the back between two of the holes, would that mean they're 8x170?

    Late '70's 460 flywheel

    Needing to find a flywheel. I believe I'm seeing two different options, one being internal balance and the other being external balance. How do I know what I need to look for? My experience is in SBFs and FEs 385s are a bit of a gray area.

    Changing the color

    Picked up a pair of seats for the Capri, good seats, great price, color is slightly an issue.They're red, all red. Gonna look into finding a pair of form fitting covers; BUT, if that's a bust, is there a way to dye them without having to worry about bleeding and premature color fade?

    LED questions

    So, replaced the tail/brake lights in the Yota with some newer, brighter LEDs. Only issue now is when I step on the brakes my dash and marker lights come on.My thought was the newer bulbs are more efficient and require less power to run and are causing feedback through the system. Any ideas...

    bell housing questions

    Got a bit of a hairbrain idea.First, does Ford's manual Mod transmissions have a bell housing that's separate from the trans itself?Second, if the first is a yes, does it use the same four bolt mount as the older Ford transmissions?
