I attempted my first wheel bearing job and was hoping for some advice. I supported the inner race of the bearing when pressing in the hub but still noticed it somehow pushed out a little on the one side after the hub fully seated. (Picture below but hard to see). It sticks up about 1/8” on...

ABS light and Service Advancetrac message came on a few weeks ago on my 2010 Fusion. Noticed at slow speeds coming to a stop the brake pedal pulsing. Hooked up my scanner and pointed to driver side rear wheel speed sensor which I promptly replaced. Pedal issue went away but ABS light stays on...

I replaced the cables/regulator for the electric sliding rear window on my 2011 Sierra Crew Cab. It required me to remove the back seats and the plastic trim below the window. Ended up having a small piece shaped like a suitcase handle or squared off C with #15913744 and >PDM< #10363 and PWR on...

My daughter's 2008 AWD Fusion with 3.0 V-6 and 130,000 miles is idling rough and occasionally is stalling. Last week she called me and told me it was "bucking" while going through the drive thru and the check engine light came on. First thing I did was check wiring and then the air cleaner. Sure...

So my daughter's car started making a drivetrain noise and after some research and crawling under the car and pushing on the driveshaft I believe it is a carrier bearing on the 3 piece driveshaft that can't be greased. Does anyone know if that driveshaft will slide out the rear of the car...

So my dad gave me this kerosene heater he picked up at a yard sale for $5 and thought I could warm up my garage with it when changing oil or working on the cars. It looks in nice shape but there is no manual with it. Some lighting and extinguishing directions on the back of the unit is all. So I...

This is the virus that lays dormant in your system after you had the chicken pox as a kid. Well, I am pushing 50 now and had a small outbreak of them for the first time. Started as an itch on my belly/beltline and then a small red rash. Had a spot on my lower back/butt cheek at the beltline...

So I posted yesterday about my daughter's 08 Fusion and the battery cable problem. Car is now locked but the cable is so loose that I think when I shut the hood last night it somehow lost connection. And here is the kicker.....the key does not open the driver's door. So any way to get the hood...

My daughter's first car. Previous owner had an amp or subwoofer mounted in the trunk and has the + battery cable butchered. Odd looking metal thing that is bent up has two large cables leading away to engine compartment. one cable goes to the starter towards front of the engine and other goes...

My truck has 93K on it now and the ride sure is rough on these back roads filled with potholes in PA!! It has the original shocks/struts on it and I started researching my options to try and soften the ride. Certain bumps really throw the truck around on the road and handling is poor. Granted...

So I bought a used Jeraco truck cap that has a plug already wired into it for a third brake light and dome light. I purchased a 4 pin connector to hook up to the truck from Jeraco for $7.95. It has a red wire for the third brake light, a brown wire for the dome light and a black for ground. I...

I recently purchased a used Jeracho truck cap for my 2011 GMC Sierra. The truck cap has a third brake light and a dome type light with a switch on it. The wiring for these lights runs into a 4 prong type connector similar to trailering connectors I have seen. This connector sits just inside the...

So the original wiring on my old trailer (no trailer brakes) had 5 wires that ran to a flat 4 prong plug. Wires were white, green, green/brown, yellow and yellow/brown. The yellow/brown wire broke off right at the plug. So I had an extra flat 4 prong plug but it was only 4 wire (white, brown...

I drove my wife's Sequoia yesterday and am wondering about the "roar" coming from the engine bay. The 4.7 liter always makes this roaring noise on initial cold start-up which I am assuming is normal. It lasts maybe 15 or 20 seconds and goes away. However, yesterday we were running a little late...

This car has been parked since November in a non-heated cement floor garage in central PA. My past practice has been to start the car and drive until up to temp and change the oil. Is that recommended? Or is it wiser to drain the cold oil out of the pan over the next few days and refill with...

My daughter just got an 08 Ford Fusion AWD with the 3.0 engine. I looked up Fram Ultra filters for this engine on Rock Auto and found that it lists two different filters. The XG2 "before 9/25/08" and the XG10575 "after 9/25/08". Is that the build date? If so, did something change with these...

So I am looking at an 09 Fusion with 48K miles on it for $8450 and the dealer has it advertised with the following options: fs001, fs002, fs003, fs005, fs007 etc.... on up to fs0062 and fs0078. Could someone translate these for me or where can I find out what these options are?

Traded my tired 98 Z71 for a used GMC 1500 this week. My kids keep growing and the extended cab didn't cut it anymore. We opted for a short bed crew cab and 4 full doors. Previous owner never towed anything although it is equipped with a max trailering package. It has 86K on it. Manual says...

Replacing the wheel hub bearings on my 98 Chevy 4X4 truck and stripped one of the three mounting bolts. I had hit them with PB Blaster and Creep a few times prior to removing but still managed to strip one. Does anyone have a source to get the part # as I have tried several online sites but...
