My mechanic's computer would not identify the code, so I had to take it to Ford. It turned out to be an exhaust purge tank and valve failure. It didn't run horribly, but if you disconnected the battery so that the computer had to relearn its engine, it would stall for the first few miles until the computer adjusted. Pull the ground clamp off your battery for a few minutes and see if it does the same thing.

My mechanic will run mine for about $40, a friend of mine in North Carolina said that he got his run for about $25 at the dealer. It really depends on who you go to. If you do have a bad plug...a cheap solution would be change the plugs. I bought Autolite Double Platinum plugs for about $3 a piece. That is a $24 solution if you replace them yourself. I know they look like a pain to, BUT you save big bucks by doing it yourself. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can buy the plugs and take them down to Pep Boys or a local shop and say you want them replaced. Usually they will charge anywhere between $60-$100 for the labor.

Any ideas? Remember it's a 4x4.

You may want to consider the following speakers; Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X576 - 5"x7"/6"x8" Speakers http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-30MhWn0nR9k/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=400& I=113KFCX576&o=M&a=0 As for a 6x8, this size is most often found in factory systems. Most retail stores will sell 5x7 and 6x9, and less knowledgeable sales folks may look at you funny if you ask for a 6x8. Most 5x7s are designed to fit in a 6x8 hole. Crutchfield will provide you with wiring harnesses to connect aftermarket speakers to your factory speaker wires and detailed directions on how to remove the door panels and rear panels of your truck and install the speakers. You may want to purchase a door panel tool from them as well for a few dollars more. Some folks will recommend the use of two flat head screwdrivers to remove the door panel, but you stand a much better change of screwing (pardon the pun) up the door panel and/or fasteners this way. If you purchase the above speakers, or some like them, and the sound week in you truck you may want to consider a four channel amplifier like the Kenwood KAC-648S 25W x 4 amp or the Kenwood KAC-748 35W x 4 amp.

The Exstang Sabre snapless looks interesting. Also the aluminum roll tops look very secure, but what about leaks. ------------------------------ End of 97up-list Digest V2000 #81 ********************************* ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts 1997 and Newer Truck List....
