1999 Ford Explorer ; 1984 Chevy Celebrity ; 1996 Ford F-150

I've reviewed your all your issues-I recommend your part it out-its a money pit-Sorry

Don't combine questions and vehicles. Each problem and each question must be posted separately.

Un less you have access to free parts I don't think its worth putting money in to either of them. Find somthing used in good shape.

YOUR EXPLORER IS NEWER

SEEMS YOU LET YOUR MAINTENANCE PROGRAM SORTA SLIP AWAY

NO DOUBT, IT IS MORE "DESIRABLE" THAN THE CELEBRITY, PROVIDED IT STILL LOOKS GOOD.

IF YOU FIND THE RIGHT TRANNY SHOP, YOU MIGHT GET IT REBUILT FOR $1500---$2500

SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF COULD BE DONE DIY OR DIY BY ONE OF YOUR BUDDIES......OR AGAIN, FIND THE RIGHT SHOP AND MAYBE GET A GOOD DEAL (I MAY CAN SUGGEST POSSIBLE RESOURCES)

SELLING THE OTHER MAY HELP FUND SOME OF THE REPAIRS

IF YOU REALLY LOVE ANY OF THEM (FOR WHATEVER REASON) FIX IT!

THIS NEW STUFF IS SO DARN COMPLICATED, AND THE STUPIDEST THING GOES WRONG (LIKE IT WON'T TURN OVER BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM), AND PRETTY MUCH IF YOU DON'T HAVE A $40,000+ MACHINE OF YOUR OWN, YOU WILL BE AT THE MERCY OF A HIGH TECH SHOP

AS FAR AS THE TRUCK SQUEAKING---THE RUBBER BUSHINGS IN THE SPRINGS/ SHOCKS/ ETC; RUBBING METAL MIGHT BE QUIETED DOWN WITH A GREASE GUN

AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY ARE NOT EXPENSIVE, SOME OF THEM ATTACH TO THE GREASE GUN LIKE A GREASE FITTING. OTHERS SCREW ON, ETC

WHAT YOU DO IS SHOVE THE NEEDLE BETWEEN THE RUBBER AND METAL, THEN GIVE IT A PUMP. DONE MULTIPLE TIMES AND MULTIPLE PLACES. MY FRIEND HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH A TUNDRA, THE 1ST GO ROUND HELPED BUT NO FULL FIX......WE THEN JACKED UP ON THE REAR/ AND THE FRONT, GOT THE WEIGHT OFF OF THE SPRINGS AND "HYPODERMIC-ED" IT AGAIN, WHERE WE COULDN'T BEFORE. NO MORE SQUEAKY!!!

I DRIVE TWO JEEPS, THE 35 YEAR OLD CJ 5 IS DRIVEN DAILY, MY 66 YEAR OLD WILLYS, EVERY CHANCE I GET!

I DO MY OWN WORK AND KNOW THEM BOTH, FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER......BUT......I DO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH STUFF AS IT HAPPENS

I HAD 5 CJ 5s PRIOR TO THESE, NEVER OWNED NOTHING BUT

WHILE IN THE ARMY, I LEARNED QUICK, DIYing WOULD SAVE ME $$$

WITH HIGH SCHOOL AUTO SHOP, AND HIGH SCHOOL MACHINE SHOP AS PREREQUISITES, I BOUGHT MY 1ST JEEP IN 1981, AND A CHILTON'S REPAIR MANUAL SOON AFTER

OVER THE YEARS, I "TALKED" TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE (AND THE WRONG ONES TOO!!!) WATCHED AND LEARNED, IF I DIDN'T KNOW

I'VE REBUILT AND BABIED BOTH OF THE JEEPS THAT I'VE HAD NOW, SINCE THE EARLY '90s........AND I'M A PLUMBER!

I'M NOT SCARED TO JUMP IN EITHER AND GO WHEREVER I WANT

HERE'S SOME OF MY COLLECTION OVER THE YEARS, THIS MAY BE YOUR START IN DIY TOO
