radiator.........heater too hot, gauge is not high by [email protected]
94 aerostar today drained and replaced coolant. Tried to burp it but obviously haven't done something. Temp gauge doesn't go as high as before. Use to sit around "O" of "NORMAL". Now doesn't even reach the "N". Yet the heater is hotter than ever. So hot I'm afraid to drive it. So far I've...

coolant change......now heater too hot yet gauge too low by [email protected]
94 aerostar: changed coolant and tried to burp, but trouble. Now heater runs very hot (very quickly) yet temp gauge barely moves. I'm afraid to drive it since I can't depend on the gauge to tell me if the engine is over heating. The air out of the heater is so hot it almost burns my hand. Any...

5W-20 in Hot Climate? by Z.Z.
The manaul for my new (to me) 2004 Taurus specifies 5W-20 oil. I live in Arizona where it's pretty warm most of the time with 110F not uncommon in the summer (98F today...). Seems to me that 5W-20 might be a little thin for that climate. My Ranger with the same engine (3.0l) specified and I used)...

Anyone know of a good brand of brake pads, preferably with a lifetime warranty? My left pad is squealing, and it is Albany brand, from AutoZone, but I've had to replace one or both of my pads about once every 18 months. They do have a lifetime warranty though, which is nice. Also, any...

Hello everyone; I have encountered a problem and wonder if I should finally let my car go. It is a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria, with the police interceptor package. Possibly, one of the clutch packs in the transmission has failed, as there is a whine when I try to move it, but no drive. The level...
