My 2000 expy

1FMRU15L9YLA39745
Just bought last week, anybody in south fl that knows these trucks without ripping off?
Abs light is on so my buddy got me the abs module and I'm having a hard time getting those screws out I stripped 1 already, next is the infamous 1-2 hard shift I've been reading about I would love to see if anyone has changed these accumulator springs I've read about in my area that can show me how to do it or maybe if they're willing to help me, I'm in the Deerfield beach area. Also I bought a cabin filter as ford ran the vin and said I have the option for it but I can't for the life of me figure out where it goes, lastly I'd like to do a tune up plugs maybe wires fuel filter etc anybody can help?

You most likely have a broken spring in the 1-2 accumulator. they are not too hard to replace. Do the fluid and filter at the same time. Check the torque converter for a drain plug and drain it at the same time if it has a drain. Some have it and some do not.
There was a shop in west Deerfield/Pompano called Heavy Line, the owner's name is John and he specializes in Fords and is good and honest.
I don't know if he is still there.

It's been 10 years since I've been there so he might have retired by now, he was not a young guy when I knew him. If he's still there tell him that Mel Clark said Hi.

He's probably retired by now. If you want you can PM your email address and I'll try to send the info from my service manual. It's not too difficult to do.
