Don't respond to fake tickets from police con men by Jim
Don't fall for fake red light camera or speeding tickets, mostly in California, so far. The fake red light camera tickets come in the mail, from the police! Yours will say "Traffic Violation Notice" at the top, and will tell you that you MUST identify the driver shown in the photo, within ten...

How to align Camshaft Position Sensor? by [email protected]
Is there any way to properly align the camshaft position sensor in a 4.2L V6 (from a 1997 F-150) without having to go out and spend $60 to $100 for a "synchro positioning tool" ??? I hate to spend that kind of money on a tool that I might never need again. TIA, john w.
