| 1992 Ford F-250 XL 7.3L Excessive smoke VIN: 1FTHX26M7N Thanks for the input. I have come to the conclusion that the fuel distributor pump gear is off a tooth. I had to rotate the pump too far away from the factory alignment marks in order to make it run somewhat acceptable. Everyone's input gave me some ideas. ... |

| 2001 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4.6L Electronic rear suspension VIN: 1FMEU17L61 The end result was that I had to send the vehicle to the dealer to reprogram the system. Even with the Snap-on solus which will actuate the ride system it would not reset the dash lamp w/o the Ford only tool. bottom line customer happy. Thanks. |

| 2003 Ford Taurus LX 3.0L blower motor VIN: 1FAFP55U53 Thanks for all the input. I replaced the motor and resitor. Working fine now. GM generally has the resistor on the power side of the circuit. So I learned something here. |

| 2007 Ford F-150 Lariat 5.4L cam overretarded VIN: 1FTPW14V57 We decided to swap the oil from 5w20 over to 15w40. Problem has not reoccured. Ford say's the thicker oil will damage the valve train. Looks like he will need a engine anyway because of the sludge. Thanks to all who responded. |
