Good morning all, I've been trying to find an online decoder for VIN numbers and Federal (door stickers to find out what the codes really mean for my 96 Mazda. I've tried all the Ford decoders I could find but most of them don't work, or only give partial results for the VIN. And nothing...

I'm getting ready to overhaul the clutch in my 96 B2300 soon. I have all the hydraulic parts ready to go, but now I'm looking for a clutch disc and pressure plate. There are a lot of new players in the vendor arena since the last time I shoped around, like F1, Geforce etc. Any suggestions on a...

Looking for ideas here. I've noticed that the back of the headliner on my 96 B2300 SE is damp. I've already used RTV to seal the 3rd brake light assembly to the cab. The leak is still there. Could it be the rear window seal? How difficult is it to remove the headliner? I've never taken it...
