    Rear suspension question

    Rear suspension question

    I have done a search and I did not find anything on this. Every time that i would hit a decent size dip or bump my rear end would seem to bottom out. I recently replaced the rear shocks but the problem remains, any ideas? Thanks

    Changing heater core

    I gave my son the part # for the restrictor that I got from an earlier post and the guy at the Ford dealership said that the 88 5.0 did not require a restrictor. Do I put one in for good measure or just leave it out? The guy also told him that the heater core he bought from Checkers was crap and...

    water temp(what should it be?)

    Since we are on the subject, My temp guage does not go over the 130 mark unless I run the A/C and I live in Las Vegas. When I run the A/C, the gauge will get up around the half way mark and start to smell hot. In the winter my guage doesn't even get to the 130 and the heater does not get warm. I...
