You may here a whining noise from the rear end, this is a common problem with the ring and pinion gears. They have a rebuild kit for this. Also the clutch packs in the rear diff go bad and you'll hear a grinding sound while accelerating and turning from a stop. There's a clutchpack replacement procedure for this problem too.....

Well I'm glad I don't hear that problem yet. I'll keep in mind if I hear any sounds like that.

I changed my front abs breaks yesterday and when I pushed in the cylendars I loosened the bleeder screw to keep from pushing fluid back into abs unit. I read online there's a possibility of sending debri back or damaging the unit. Well I had no problems, breaks are fine but I still have a vibration when stopping. I probably need rotors

On a good note I did find info here on the 2 7 airbag issue and followed the instructions on replacing the bulb. All is well with the air bags

I'm on to changing oil. I found local store sells motorcraft 5w30 synthetic blend. I'm thinkin of adding slick 50 also as it's a ritual of mine.
