My 2000 Expedition has suddenly developed a weird charging issue. During normal driving, everything seems to be working fine. If the engine RPM gets to about 3500 (passing on the freeway, hard acceleration, etc.), the lights start to dim and at about 3800 RPM, the battery light comes on. Once...

Go to kbb.com and you should be able to find out what the "book" value of the bike is. To find out what you can realistically expect to be able to sell it for, go to either craigs list or cycle trader for your area. You're probably going to be shocked at how little they're selling for versus...

Yes it could if it's allowing the oil to drip out and blow back onto the exhaust when you're driving. This will definitely cause a burning oil smell.

It depends on your vehicle and the trim level that you have. For example a Ford F-150 XLT will have a more comprehensive gauge package than an F-150 XL. The gauge you're asking about is the charge/volt gauge showing whether the battery is discharging or being charged.

Petcock and any number of parts dealers will have what you're looking for.

In reverse order, yes you can replace the thermostat yourself. Get yourself a repair manual for your vehicle and it'll walk you through it. It's not hard at all. As for testing the thermostat, there's a couple of ways to see if it's opening or not. First, take the cap off the radiator and start...

I believe you have what is commonly referred to as half shafts and there's one on each side. If the cv joints are clicking, it may be possible to remove the boots, clean and lube the cv joints and install new boots. If this doesn't fix it, replace both half shafts. They're not that expensive and...

Sounds like a wrist pin knocking. The 258cid 6 cyl is an incredible engine, but they get tired like everything else. 202K miles is definitely getting your money worth. Since you've got good oil pressure, there's likely nothing major wrong, I'd pull the engine and go through it (rings, bearings...

Cooler air is more dense, therefore performance will improve. Usually it's not real noticible on a stock bike though.

Don't bother riding it yet, first flush the cooling system and get all of the frothy crap out of the system. After you have fresh coolant in the system, THEN ride it and see what happens. It sounds to me like you have either a cracked head or bac head gasket and you're getting exhaust and/or oil...

The 500 Vulcan shocks or relocating the shocks is more than likely going to be your best choices since there probably isn't going to be a lot of aftermarket parts for a bike of that vintage. You could also look into changing the front fork springs to shorter units, if available, and get some...

It's not as simple as just putting in new seals and calling it a day. If the seals are leaking, then chances are the oil is dirty. You don't mention how old the bike is, but if your disassembling the forks to replace the oils and seals, how about changing the springs while you're in there? Make...

Way too many potential problems to list and not enough information. What's the battery voltage? It's possible that the battery has enough voltage to turn on the radio, but not turn over the engine. Other possibilities are: bad starter, bad solenoid, bad ignition switch, bad starter relay, bad...

Any plug purchased for that vehicle will be pre-gapped. I've never trusted that and have always check them to make sure. I've found a few that were off over the years, but they're usually close. To answer your question, the gap is .044
