    No throttle response in an Excursion

    No, I'll do the shocks and differential and "phantom" brake light myself. myself. It can't be that hard. BTW, I'm on Cape Cod and beware, everyone jacks their prices during tourist season. This may have been beyond the call of duty however.

    Banging inside of the air intake manifold?

    Thanks for the reply. I thought of that and took a look, couldn't see any debris. Besides, it really sounds like something is actually hammering on the manifold from the inside. I know mice couldn't do that - it's that no thumb thing on those little critters.

    Banging inside of the air intake manifold?

    This isn't really a Ford truck question but maybe someone can help me out and shed some light on my (my son's) problem. He inherited his grandmother's 1995 Mercury Sable 3.8 V-6 with only 80,000 miles. Yesterday a severe banging noise seemed to be coming from within the air intake manifold...

    Fuel Guage gone wacky

    Thanks for the info. In fact it was ULSD. I haven't had any problem as the fuel is used, in fact for the next 2 fill-ups everything seems to be normal. I guess only time will tell.

    Fuel Guage gone wacky

    Yesterday I stopped and pumped 45.544 gallons of diesel into my 2003 7.3 Excursion. After starting up the engine, the fuel guage move moved to 1/8 of the way from empty stayed there for about 5 minutes. The low fuel alarm then came on and it completely shut off, the needle was pointing to the...

    Rumble

    I've developed a rumble on my '03 stock Excursion with 69,000 miles on the odometer. It only happens between 55 and 68 MPH and only opon acceleration. When I let off the pedal at it goes away. It sounds like it is coming from up front either or toward the middle of the vehicle. Not only can I...
