Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I hope this is not a
dumb question but why
does the truck not have
an rpm Gage ... I just
installe the vacuum
modulator and I want to
test out the gears
changing when I'm
driving... As I mentioned
the problem I had was
the truck was running
high and not changing
gears that I noticed.

Add an inexpensive tach. Did you try manually putting it in 1, 2 then drive? Did it shift? Often, the linkage and steering column collar wear out and it becomes easy to select "2" when the indicator says "D".

Yes I noticed that to get to D it clicks twice getting there.. Also at one Point I felt like it was on neutral - a tach is a gage ?

My 2008 Ford Escape AWD floor matts keep getting soaked. I thought I had fixed it by making sure the sunroof was closed properly, but it has continued. I have tried to figure out where this is coming from and finally after drying them out again I laid under the the vehicle and both on the drivers side in the middle of the front floor area and the passanger side there is a small hole about the size of a dine right in the middle. That would account for the water coming in after rain storms and such, but why would these two holes be there? Was there a drain area there with plugs and they are missing? Can I have a piece of metal welded over them? Don't know why they would be there. Doesn't seem to be a rust issue as it is frim all around these small holes. 7 Answers
