    Head gasket

    I have 98 xlt 3.0 and have noticed a rough idle last couple weeks. Yesterday I noticed water spitting out exhaust. Oil don’t show milk or oil cap. I ran compression and # 3 is low. Am I looking at gasket PLUS A BAD HEAD? Any way to run test to determine if it’s valve or cracked head?

    Power steering troubleshooting

    Well I went and exchanged my new pump for another new pump, new high pressure and return hoses and followed the instructions to it all. It all seemed very promising even to the point I thought I got a bum pump, until I started the motor!

    XLT door handles

    hello everyone I have a 98 3.0 with doors that are very hard to pull open. I’m sure it is due to the second door which the main doors latch to, Anyone know how to adjust these? I knew the door handle wouldn’t take too much to break, and I don’t want to break another one. Thanks for any input.
