    Steering shaft flex coupling turned

    Say...a funny thing happened on the way to the barber's... Not really, but that sounds like a better lead in than what I've got! A few words from the wise would be appreciated here, guys. After reinstalling the steering gear, but before tightening things down, I noticed the steering...

    Help...Removing Steering Arm

    AGGGgggghhhh....two days trying and I can't get the Pitman arm off either end! I've tried the arm puller, heat, PB Blaster, and a BFH! Any suggestions? It's on a 1994 Lincoln Town Car...4.6...206,000 miles on the odo. I'd appreciate some trick o' the trade as I'm about ready to spit nails...

    OK, How do you REALLY adjust a door?

    As usual, Haynes makes it look sooo simple. I could use your help again, guys. The driver's side door is 3/4" low on the latch side. How does one reach the rearward 2 bolts on the body side of the hinge to adjust? Remove the door? Remove the fender? Say "screw it" and take it to a body...

    Do they hate cats?

    I was at O'Riley's this afternoon and saw some oil absorbent. The package stated that it could also be used for winter traction, to line the BBQ, and as cat litter. Further down the notice said it contained crystalin silica...which, in the event of frequent exposure to it's dust could cause...

    Floor Jack rebuild?

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have a Sears 3 ton floor jack that won't hold the weight. It rises fine, but slowwwwly goes down. I'm thinking o-ring failure. Can these things be rebuilt or serviced, or is it a 50lb paper weight? Sears no longer sells nor makes parts for this...

    Here's a stumper...

    While looking under the hood I noticed one of the red wires from the OBD connector had been cut...a nice, clean slice. Any idea why someone would do that? Also the wires to the cigarette lighter had be cut and taped. Again, what was the previous owner doing here? All comments welcome.

    Time for the trans...(gulp)

    I'm working on the trans for the first time and would like some tips that would help here. It's a 1994 AODE/4R70W. I'm replacing the tailpiece (cracked), gasket, seal, front yoke, front half of driveshaft, and center coupler. All except the seal and gasket came from the U-pull yard, but shows...

    A light-er problem...

    Okay...here's an odd one. The under-hood light stays on! What the h___? It's not like an refrigerator door, eh? So tell me, if you please...How does it work, and how do I fix it? (Okay, with a leaking gas tank and a leaking rear seal/bearing on my trans, this is not my most pressing problem...

    A little trans advice?

    Hey, guys...I'm going to replace the trans pan gasket, and maybe the oil pan gasket as well. The reason: the '94 F150 sat for 5 yrs or so...and 4 qts of the trans fluid had leaked out. After filling and road testing, it leaked around the gasket, after only a half-dozen stops and 16 miles...

    Okay to run 31x10.5's?

    Just got a great deal on four Dominator (made by Cooper Tire) 31x10,5x15LT's. Replacing Goodyear Wrangler 28x9.5's. My question is, will these larger tires bog down my '94 stock 302...what with only 185 ponies. I'm thinking that might be too much tire. Haven't run the truck with 'em yet. I...

    F150 sitting..

    Thanks to each of you for the advice. There were only 'fumes' in the tank, so it stalled after a few minutes. I added some dry gas and Lucas efi cleaner to five gallons of gas. No sign of water/varnish. The gas tank (secondary) leaks a bit...the primary leaks badly from somewhere around the...

    '94F150 sat for 5 1/2 yrs

    Ready to get it going. I'd appreciate some advice, suggestions, and warnings from your experiences! So far, I've replaced a few brake lines and the e-brake cables, done a 4 wheel brake job, changed coolant, oil, brake and power steering fluids. Rad hoses and belts appear to be in good shape...
