http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/2009/dodge/ram/spied/rumors.html can anybody explain the difference between the two types of suspension. Pros, cons? "A coil sprung rear suspension is different from a coil over rear suspension, like Honda uses in the Ridgeline crossover utility truck." thanks.

am I the only person who finds the current crop of full size trucks with almost unuseable beds because of their height? My 04 F150 is 4X2 and I've had to climb onto the bed of this thing so many times I'm considering retrofitting the intergrated tail gate step off the 08 superduty to my truck(if...

I have a 04 F150/XLT/SCAB/4X2/LBOX with the 5.4. It has 4.1 gears with a limited slip. I would like change the rear end gears as I mostly do highway driving, my payload is not heavy and I never tow. I think it has a 10.25" rear end. -what's the lowest final drive I can put in it, is it 3.08...

just got a 2004 F150 with the 5.4, 3valve. I'm suspecting the noise at hot idle to be the cam phasers. Ford has a TSB and it's very vague as to their definition of if/when the phasers should be changed due to the noise. The TSB says the noise does not degrade performance or longevity. I did buy...

2000 frontier crew cab. no horn. cruise control main switch on dash works, steering wheel cruise buttons don't work. srs light comes on at start and goes off, exactly the way it should as per service manual. does this definitely rule out the clockspring or not? thanks.

just bought a 2000 frontier crew cab. 4.5ft bed. is there a way to lower the height of the truck a bit without touching tire height? I'm pretty sure the front is torsion bar which should be easy enough but the back has leaf springs. does anybody make a kit for something like this. also, the...

a 2000 dakota V6/2WD/auto is rated 16/21 city/hwy. there are three models, regular cab/ext.cab./quad cab(4door). difference in weight between lightest to heaviest is about 500lbs. which model is the 16/21 for? They're all listed the same and there's no way any vehicle is going to get the same...

looking for a quad cab dakota 2000-2004. 4.7L V8/auto./RWD. any tips, years/options to avoid, look for? strong points, weak points? definitely do not want the 'tow package' which gives the shorter gearing, any markings on the diff. to identify which gears it has? thanks and happy new year to all.

a friend is considering purchasing 97-02 F150 RWD for personal use. which engine would give him a better long term reliability, the 4.2L six or the 4.6L eight? the EPA lists almost identical fuel economy figures for these engines and he is a very easy driver so durability is the biggest factor...

what are these things? are they responsible for moving a website towards the top on search engine results?

I'm going to get a 1993-1998 Ranger or Mazda B series. There will always be a minimum of 500lbs of cargo in the bed with an occasional peak of 1000lbs. The 4cyl is 23mpg city and the 4L six is 19mpg city. I do alot of driving and the 4 cylinders mileage is tempting but considering the cargo I'm...

the drivers window crank on my 91 MPV is extremely difficult going up or down through the range of 1/2 up to 3/4 up. I've done the obvious and siliconed the seals but it didn't make any difference. When I take this thing apart, what should I be looking for? Do things break/wear out in there or...

I've got a 1990 Mazda MPV 4cyl. 5spd., used as a work truck that has a peculiar problem. The coolant temp. goes to 3/4, and sometimes almost at red zone, on the highway, doesn't matter if you're doing 50mph or 80mph. All other times, it is perfectly at half point, in blistering heat in stop and...

We've got a 1999 Nissan Quest with the 3.3L V6(VG33E). Wife was complaining about 'noises' on morning starts and 'exhaust smell' in the cabin when heat/vent was on. I took a look at it when hot and didn't notice anything. Next morning, cold start, I heard it loud and clear. It is seemed to be...
