Subject: Pinging Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 23:43:32 -0600 The 3.0L engine in my '96 Ranger pings in the summer if it is above about 90 degrees. I live in Wisconsin so this doesn't happen very often. I just use a higher octane in hot weather. Changing the spark plugs to copper from the original ones has helped, too. Ron Trampe telh frontiernet.net

> Subject: Explorer Pinging! > Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 19:28:24 -0500 > > Hi Tim...here's one for you if you don't mind. My wife's 94 Explorer with 56K on it has started pinging around 2 years ago. Tried different brands of gas, and premium gas as well...still pings. Had one dealer service it and said it had a partially blocked fuel filter. He said it causes it to run lean and therefore pings. So after a new filter it still pinged. On to dealer number 2, he says can't find anything wrong with it and said I should only use regular fuel as the high test can actually cause pinging because of the additives in it carbonizing...go figure. Dealer number 3 said it needed O2 sensors and also he decarbonized the valves with some kind of additive he put in the fuel rail. That seemed to help a LITTLE, but afterawhile it still pings as usual. Dealer then told me it is characteristic of the 3.0 and 4.0 V6s to ping and not to worry about it....I don't buy that one! I had someone on this list tell me to clean the MAF sensor elements with electrical cleaner or brak! ------------------------------ From: Bolte Brent <Brent.Bolte kone.com>
Subject: Re: Front Brake Pads Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 09:57:54 -0500 I think there are two big reasons you see more brake rotor replacements today than 15 years ago. One is that auto manufacturers are being forced to try and squeeze every drop of fuel economy out of vehicles as they can. One thing that helps to do this is weight reduction. Making the rotors thinner makes them lighter. It might not seem like much, but a few ounces here and a few there eventually add up. Being thinner however gives you less usable metal to wear into and tends to make the rotors more sensitive to warping from heat (the warping problem is aggravated by improperly and/or unevenly tightening lug nuts with an impact wrench, always properly tighten lug nuts on a wheel with disc brakes using a torque wrench). Once warped you can't 'turn' them as much since they are thinner and you end up having to replace them. The second problem is that brake pads are now made of materials that contain a high amount of metal and carbon content which tends to wear the metal surface of the rotor more quickly than older asbestos brake pads did. Asbestos was a great material for brake pads since it dissipated heat well and was not too abrasive to the rotors, unfortunately we now all know the problems associated with asbestos and why its not being used any longer. I wonder how well the aluminum rotors on the Dodge Prowler are holding up??

Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 00:07:40 Hey, On my 99 f-150 there are 2 line connectors on either side of the gas filter, I have never seen this kind before, and cant seem to get them to budge. There is also a hook type deal on each, that I think has something to do with getting them off, but I cant seem to get either off.. -Joe _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ From: "Joe M" <merchjo bellatlantic.net>

Subject: ADMIN: New FTE record Just an FYI to the Ford Truck Enthusiasts users.... We just completed analyzing the web server log files for December 2000.

Thanks to everyone for your support over the years.

Subject: ADMIN: New list policy Since December 2, FTE has received a total of 24 emails from list subscribers containing the "Sexy Fun" virus (sometimes known as "Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs"). In each case, our anti-virus software has caught it. Additionally, the list server has successfully stripped virus code 36 times since Dec 2 (you can't get a virus through our list server because it strips all attachments). I don't know who started this epidemic but everyone who's system has sent a virus is at fault. Anyone with a computer connected to the Internet should, without exception, run anti-virus software. Our new policy is: Make sure you have anti-virus software on your computer. Although our list software rejects posts with attachments, we are notified by it of all attachments. If we receive notification that a virus was sent by your system, you will be removed immediately and banned from resubscribing. In other words, if your system sends a virus, you can't resubscribe ---- forever. Yes, this is harsh, but the issue is very serious. What would you do if you received emails with virus attachments 1-5 times per day? If you don't have anti-virus software, do yourself a favor and get it. Then run the update utility every week or two.

Subject: ADMIN: More... New list policy This email is in response to a question/concern posted on a couple of the mailing lists.... First, if anyone doesn't believe the virus isn't a serious problem, I just received two more email's from list members while writing this that had the previously mentioned virus attached. Second, it takes far too much time to keep a score board of who's been warned and who hasn't. I'm not going to be an absolute tyrant, if the virus is too new for anti-virus software I certainly won't fault the user. If however, the virus is currently covered by anti-virus software they'll be unsubscribed. I understand that not everyone is computer savvy, but anti-virus software is a basic necessity. Since viruses make prime-time news, how can anyone not be aware that they exist? No one gets AIDS on purpose, but anyone having sex out of wed-lock without a condom has no one to blame but themselves if they get infected. Likewise, take precaution with your system and it will not get infected. There's one way users can prevent infection of their system even by new viruses that haven't yet been added to their anti-virus software: Don't open executable attachments (including self-extracting ZIPs), don't open screen saver attachments and don't use Microsoft e-mail software or if you do use it, turn off macros. Also, my family and FTE's employees are entirely dependent on the operation of FTE's 5 computer systems in order to make a living. The list users are not dependant on the operation of our systems in order to earn a paycheck. We, however, are. There's more here at stake than someone not being able to read list mail. Let me put it this way.... if you ran a business and someone wrote you a check that bounced, would you take a check from them again?
