Ford Excursion :: Cabin Drone That Sets In At About 75 Mph?

What is the reason for the cabin drone that sets in at about 75 mph? The drone gets much less at about 90 mph and then almost disappears. When I take my foot off the gas pedal within that speed range, the drone seems to be gone.

My Ex V10 2004 4x4 has the following mods:

(1) SUSPENSION LIFT. ProComp 4".
(2) GEARS. Re-geared to 4.56.
(3) PERFORMANCE. Banks PowerPack, i.e. Banks cold air intake, Banks exhaust manifolds, Banks y-pipe, and Banks Automind programmer.
(4) EXHAUST. Flowmaster Super 44 muffler, single-in-dual-out (SIDO). Stock cat remained in place.
(5) WHEELS. Moto Metal MO951 Chrome wheels, 20x10, 8/170, ET -18, BSM 4.79, with 35/12.5/20 (315/60/20) Nitto Trail Grappler tires.

Volvo - V70 :: Reverse Gear Non Functional Suddenly

Having my beloved v70 XC SE towed to mechanic today. Suddenly reverse gear was non functioning. No choice. Assume it's time for gear box replacement (whatever that is). Only 133K miles on the vehicle and I LOVE this car. Is it worth the cost to fix transmission or should I just donate or try to sell the vehicle?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Code 00281 - Replaced G68 Sensor But Still Only First Gear And Reverse Are Functional

I started my car the other day and found that it only drives the first gear and I can also put it in reverse. VCDS gave me a 00281 code saying no signal from Vehicle Speed Sensor G68. I replaced the sensor, but it still doesn't go into gear beyond 1st.

VCDS gives me the following codes after replacing G68.

2 Faults Found:

00652 - Gear Monitoring

27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent

00281 - Vehicle Speed Sensor (G68)

03-00 - No Signal

I came across TSB 01-99-02 which says something about the codes being incorrect. It seemed a little vague about whether it is actually G38 or G22. I don't want to buy more sensors only to have it be something else. The speedometer and tach work fine so G22 doesn't seem likely to me.

The VCDS site says it could be several things including bad G68 or G38 sensor, low fluid & bad valve body. Was it the G38 sensor?

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Wiring Up Few Sets Of LED Lights Under Side Rails In Bed?

I'm going to wire up a few sets of LED lights under the side rails in the bed of my F350 and connect them to the Aux 4. 2 Questions:

1. What's the best way to feed the wire from the upfitter switch out of the cab? Is there a way too feed it out the back, behind the rear seats? Or do you think it would be easier to route it under the cab, out through one of the sill plates?

2. Can I ground it to any clean piece of metal on the frame? Will this create possible issues with the stereo and feedback (ground loop).

The LEDs I'm using are a series of 24 LEDs that are bright white. I wired them into my duck boat under the gunnel rails and they're perfect and work great and their just super glued in place and have been through 3 duck seasons and work like new and are still attached like new.

Ford - Crownvictoria :: 2000 - Parking Brake Is Non-functional?

2000 Crown Victoria, 186K miles

I have to park on the street at my house, and it's a decent enough hill. I always park facing down the hill and I'm in the habit of turning the wheels towards the curb. Just recently I was parking and in neutral, easing the car's weight onto the parking brake and I heard a pop of some sort, and now my parking brake is basically non-functional. I don't think I lost any cables as none of them are hanging loose under the car, but I won't know until I get the rear rotors off and can inspect things. I know at least one other CV owner who went to check his parking brakes and the shoe linings had separated from the backing plates, but all of that's not really my question.

As of now I have to park on the street with one of the wheels firmly against the curb to hold the car in place (in this case, driver's front wheel). Am I going to mess up the tire on that wheel by doing this? There are no ill effects to this point, and maybe it's okay if only for some hours at a time and not days/weeks. What do you think?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011- Remote Start Functional?

Bought the 2011 F150 Lariat used, no window sticker shows online, got a build printout from the Ford parts man. According to the build, it says "with remote srart".

Got one key and separate fob with the truck....just a black key, not the remote key. Had a second black key made at dealers expense and kept one remote from the trade in. All works well but.....Would like to have the remote start functional.

Dealer says buy the key, $140, plus cut and program. Lock shop says $190 for it all.

My question is if I buy the key and have it cut, can I program it properly in the truck....including remote start.....since I have two regular coded keys?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F250 - Hubs Won't Unlock / How To Get Them Functional

I just got a 99 F250 PSD, it had not been in 4wd in a while, now the hubs won't unlock.

My 01 F250 seemed to have strictly manual hubs. Turn right to lock, left to unlock. They may have been aftermarket, but on by the PO. Do I need to put some new Warns on the 99? Or can I lube then up and get them functional.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Key Fob Sets Alarm Off?

MY mk4 key fob has been working just fine till the other day. I went to unlock the doors with the key fob and the alarm started to sound. Proceeded to unlock the doors with the actual key and then that shut the alarm off. So I can only lock my car with the key itself now. I changed the battery out of the fob and still nothing. Every time I go to hit unlock it triggers the alarm.

I've got a 2008 chev 2500 6.0 liter. This is a intermittent problem. Turn the key "click" nothing happens, try again it starts. Clock sets back to 1200. Chev garage says it's not starter because clock sets back to 1200. Lights will slightly flicker when you step on the brakes. Grounds have been cleaned, battery 1 year old. Ignition switch tumblers working hard. Any guesses. Chev garage cure is run it til it dies.

Ford Excursion :: 2000 6.8L V10 - No Fifth Gear

I have been getting awful gas mileage lately. I have a 2000 6.8L V10 Excursion, so I wasn't expecting much but it got bad. I know winter weather kills gas mileage but i finally noticed I do not have fifth gear. Fluid is good, clean and not burnt and all other gears hit when they need to, what this could be besides a new tranny.

Touareg :: Heated Steering Wheel Button Non-functional?

I don't have the winter package on my early production V8, but the button to control the heated steering wheel is present. Is it there on all vehicles, but non-functional in some, or did I luck out? Hoping that maybe VW was trying to make up for the fact that I didnt get the sun shades, the hatch assist, etc.

Ford Excursion :: 2002 PSD Stuck In 4x4 Low And Won't Go Into Any Other Gear?

So after confirming that my Ex was in 2wd (dash switch) with no 4x4 light on gage cluster it still was in 4H. So I took it to the dealer and they managed to get it stuck in 4 Low and now it won't go into any gear but 4x4 Low. Definitely a transfer case problem but I ended up driving it home at 20 MPH. 119K on truck.
