Discussions about Ford vehicles

I wonder why noone at Ford have thought of cutting a cylinder or two
out
of the hybrid from Escape, stick it into JDM Mazda Tribute, put the
usps truck
shell on top and sell to the USPS by a boatload?
The NYC taxi project did not pan out or they can’t compete with the
pricing
for the trucks that usps gets now?

Disclaimer:
I don’t own a ford in general and Escape in particular and have no
interest
in buying a hybrid myself within foreseable future, but am a curious
beast.

    My Taurus is acting up a little strange lately. It’s electronic climate control is not working properly like it should. The windshield defroster is taking "forever" to defrost my windshield in temperatures below 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The defroster would not defrost my side windows. There is insufficient heat or AC on the floor or around the car. The rear defroster is working fine. Could it be the thermostat in the electronic climate control be causing the problem? If so, what would be the estimated cost of servicing it since my car is currently out of warranty?

Is there a way to determine how to align the flywheel on installation?
Ie. Where the counterweight needs to be in relation to the harmonic
counterweight? or in relation to TDC on #1 or anything like that? Or am
I stuck pulling the crank and sending it to a shop to determine where
the counterweight needs to be?

Thank you in advance,

just replaced the alternator and i’m not getting a charge. the battery,
and wires and connections are good. is the voltage regulator part of
the alternator or is it a seperate unit? could it be the pcm?

My 2002 mecury villager (same as nissan quest) from the time it was
new would blow out the heater blower speed control resistor approx.
every six months. Now they are only lasting a couple of weeks untill
they fail. My friend has the same van purchased at the same time and
he has the same problem. Is anyone aware of this problem and the
solution? Thanks>
