I have the same idea with mine but there are a few problems. Locks only stop the honest theves and any two bit mechanic now how to get around them. But with the switches what are you going to do to detur the honest theif? Would not recommend for a daily driver. i wired some extra lights into...

problem is that the 97 to the 99 is a diffrent generation and its hard to say that its the same wiring. Ford started adding more goodies in 98 and up. But from the buisness stand point its cheaper to produce the same wiring harness for all the models.

if you jack up the rear end of the truck and turn the one wheel the other shoul turn the same distance. It would also help if you had someone else holding the other wheel to put resistance on it. If your wheel will turn while the other person can hold the wheel with ease, then not posi. if...

what type of paint did you use? I found that the Fusion paint and plastics paint work good. Even though it feels strong, it flexes and breaks the paint from the heating and cooling. really need a platics made paint

When ever I suspect fuel problems I always recommend to check the fuel filter. Its cheap and easy to replace. Then when you pull the old one, blow through the new one and then blow through the old one to check the resistance. If you cant blow through it then its bad. If that does not work...

What did the fluid look like? How much metal was on the fill plug? Most fill and drain plugs are magnetic to pick up any shavings in the oil. If there was alot of metal(could have looked like grease) then it could be a bearing going bad. But my uncles van had a whine in the rear end and it...

When you say that it stops blowing what do you mean?? does it stop blowing out the vents and start going through the dash vents? or does is sound like the blower stops working. I could be that you have a vaccum leak and that the vent flap is only working when the vaccum has built enogh...

fuel Couple of questions...Did you check the fuel pressure and how much do you have at the fuel rail. the port should be at end of the rail. It may not be getting enough volume. Also how old is the fuel filter that could be causing a problem.

Any one know if the DOHC Focus Ztec head will match up to the 2.3L block. If the water jackets hang over thats fine but will the bore, water jackets, and head bolts match up?

Adjustable pressure plate On some of the years there is also an adjustable pressure plate. If the mechanic did not notice this or adjust the pressure plate (new ones need to be set) then this could cause the chatter you are talking about as well.

Pallet Cant say it was a pallet of pavers. But it was enough pavers that the front end lifted off the ground going accross intersections for 20 miles.

Codes?? Have you tried to drain the fuel and put fresh gas in it??? What are the codes for the check engine light......The computer threw the light for a reason.....Need a code to be in the ball park if the plugs and wires have been changed

They are ok I have one on my 97. I noticed that it does change the aerodynamics of the hood area. From what I can tell with "love bug season" it works good but does not get every one. I can say at least an 80% decrease in bugs on the the windshield. A big change that I have noticed is that...

From what I understand with my 1997 is that there is a hole behind the fender badges. I dont know how big the hole is but it should be there.
