    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

    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...

    Climate Control on a 2003 Excursion

    For the past two days my climate control has been completely dead, although the fan kept blowing on high heat. None of the controls worked and neither did the LED's. (Of course the temperature was in the 70's for the first time this year). Fuses were all OK and secure. Today I started it up...

    Fuel Filter

    The replacement cartridge is attached to the bottom of the screw on cover. How do you seperate the two. Is it just pressed onto that little center shaft or should I be trying to unscrew it? 2003 7.3 Excursion. Thanks in advance.

    Backup lights

    The backup lights on my 03 Excursion are terrible. Is that the way they are, or is it just me? Are brighter bulbs available or is the only solution one of those aftermarket bolt on kits? It also seems that the lighting is not even - the rear right is not a bright as the left.

    rear view mirror

    Came too close to a tree and shattered my rear view mirror today. No damage to the plastic. Where is a good source - other than the dealer - to get the replacement mirror. It is a 2003 Excursion, has the lighted turn signal and is heated. Will this be a complicated replacement?

    Ball Joints

    Today I had my yearly 2003 Diesel Excursion inspection by the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. (Christ, they even measured the diameter of the exhaust pipe). The technician said that my ball joints were starting to wear. He stated that this is typical for a Ford truck - is it? It is a 2003...

    wipers

    Our latest spring snow storm has finally done them in. What are the largest wipers you can use on an '03 Excurison - front and back and do those "winter wipers" really work? They winter wipers are on sale @ Wally World for $5.35 -@ that price I guess I should just pick up a pair. Has anyone...
