    Codes P1744 and P0306

    I went to the dealer yesterday to see what I would be able to get for the car as a trade in. They offered me $1750 for it. Considering a new transmission would cost somewhere around $2k and the vehicle also needs a full tune up and 100k miles service does this seem like an alright deal? If I...

    Codes P1744 and P0306

    Ok, I may end up trying the Lucas transmission treatment and a fluid change just to make the car last a little longer, I really don't have $2k laying around for a new transmission right now. The cams were welded by Rickety Engineering in Ohio at around 70k miles, the interior is very nice and...

    Codes P1744 and P0306

    Ok, got it on cyl 6. So a transmission fluid change will not fix the problem but will it make the condition any better in the short term? The car is right at 100k and I don't think it has ever had a transmission fluid change, I have only had it for 4k miles though. Thanks again for the help.

    Codes P1744 and P0306

    I cleared out both codes Sunday morning and they haven't come back since. Is this a good sign? Car still idles rough and pulses with the car in drive at a stop. Do you think it would be worth the money to have the transmission fuild changed? Could that make the problem with the transmission...

    Codes P1744 and P0306

    Does yours do the pulsing at a stop? Any chance that a transmission flush and change would make the problem go away? Any idea on the tune up cost for new plugs and wires? Thanks a lot for the help.

    Codes P1744 and P0306

    Well my 98 SHO with 97,000 just started acting up the other day and threw a couple of codes. The codes are P1744 and P0306. I am thinking that a transmission rebuild and a tune up are in the near future. When the car is in drive and at a stand still it starts idling funny and lunging forward...

    Moog SLO springs

    Yes, even though he didn't think it would work I told him to just do the install. To his surprise the struts, strut mounts and springs fit perfectly. Ride height is now level and the car feels great. Now I just have to take care of the rusted out brake lines to get it back on the road :)

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    Well I talked to the dealership this morning and they said labor would run about $225 to replace all the lines. This seems more than reasonable for that kind of piece of mind. They priced the replacement lines at $147, part number I have is F8DZ-2C287-AA. Does anyone know a place to buy these...

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    I just got the car a couple of months ago and just dropped about $2000 in it to replace the rear suspension, rack and pinion, brake pads, windshield etc.. so I would like to keep it. Looks like new lines is going to run about $90 and have no idea about the labor costs, the more I read on the...

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    Yes, it looks like just the bare steel lines running along the side skirts are rusted out, everything else looked ok that was coated in plastic. Perhaps to save a little money I can just replace the ones running along the side skirts. Looks like they would just unscrew and come right out.

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    Ok, I found a couple of other posts on the brake line replacement. In one thread the poster purchased the Ford replacement lines and stated that it only took 30 min to replace them all. Can anyone confirm this? If I can find the replacement lines which are not that expensive, this sounds like...

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    Man, I don't think that I have the experience or know how to attempt dropping the fuel tank. Any idea how much a shop would charge for the job if I bought the brake lines? Thanks for the help.

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    Yep, that looks exactly like what I saw under my car. How time consuming/skilled is the replacement of the lines? I just spent a lot of money getting the suspension and rack and pinion replaced and would like to try to do this myself if its not too hard but I don't have a lift available just...

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    I can't see a distinct break but right under the drivers door is where the brake fluid is dripping from. Is it common for brake lines to break like this? Are there two brake lines and one ebrake line on the drivers side? Thanks for the help.

    Help, Brake Line Leak Driver's Side

    Well I am not sure how this happened. I put the car up on ramps this morning to do an oil change. As soon as I have the car up on the Rhino ramps I notice a pool of fluid right below the drivers side door. After taking a look the leak is coming from the brake lines. Within 20 min all of the...

    Moog SLO springs

    I was in pretty much the same situation. I knew I had bad rear struts and I bought the 2002 SES Struts and strut mounts to replace them. When the shop took the strut/spring assembly out they found that the springs were broken at the top as well. I ended up going with the Moog springs in the...

    Opinions on this suspension setup

    Well I stopped by the shop after work and they continue to try and talk me out of installing the 2002 Struts, saying that the rear end of the car will sit too low. Even after I tell them to just install the freaking parts already. I did look at the old SARC strut next to the new 2002 strut and...

    Opinions on this suspension setup

    Ok, thanks, I didn't think I was loosing my mind. I double checked the part numbers and they are correct. I ordered the parts, had them delivered to my house and then dropped them off at the shop, so I have no idea what the mechanic is looking at than. The part number I used was AST52 which...
