    Solved How to change SPARK PLUGS on a 4.6L V-8

    Will the loctite version of the nickel grease be okay? I cannot get my hands on the motorcraft stuff, no matter how hard I tried. I'm not going to order it, because I'm doing the plugs this weekend. Thanks

    OEM Tire Alternative

    I'm looking at new tires for my ST and I'm set on a tire, I just wanted to get a better grasp on tire sizing and the effects of playing with the sizes. 235/60R/18 are my size, but I was thinking about going with a slightly larger tire, perhaps? What would be the potential benefits or...

    Fuel Filter Replacement w/pics

    http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=508646 Is that what I'm looking at for an 07' v8 limited? Thanks :update: I changed my fuel and air filter today and my truck thanked me generously with more horsepower and greater throttle response. The old filter was filled with...

    Spare Wheel

    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. Unfortunately for me, the tires on it won't be the same size as the ones I'm getting. The previous owner decided to go with a 255/60r/18 AT tire. I'm putting some more economical treads on and they're 235s. I'll probably just keep the old set and use...

    Spare Wheel

    Interesting. It would be pretty amazing to me if that tire was unusable simply because of it's age alone. I would think this is more of a guideline, than a rule:) I've driven classic cars that had tires from the 50-60s. I run a pair of hoosiers on my 63' ford that are at least a couple decades...

    Spare Wheel

    The tire actually doesn't seem too bad at all, never heard of a spare expiring, unless it showed cracks, wear, etc. The rust on the wheel is a little more than superficial, however and I already took a brush to it to see how bad it was. My concern would be that I'm towing and get a flat. I...

    Spare Wheel

    I just took the spare off for now. I wouldn't have used it anyway. I don't think I would trust that wheel on a Geo metro, let alone a 4x4. I had another quick question about that wheel I'm looking at: http://www.partsultimate.com/product/231687 Does the hub pop out, so I can hoist it up into...

    Spare Wheel

    Not sure how I would go about inspecting it. Looks rusted. I'm bringing it into the dealer today and I'll have them take a look. Thanks

    Spare Wheel

    And here's one of the rusted out spare: I thought it was going to dissolve into dust if I touched it, so I didn't bother even taking it off. I think the tire may still be usable, though? Looks like the original spare, it's a Michelin.

    Spare Wheel

    I have an 07' v8 4x4. I think the wheels are 18". The ones on it are 255/60r/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The tires I'm looking at...

    Spare Wheel

    I thought these boards would have been filled with people doing the same thing. I was kinda hoping someone would reply with what they did in this situation. I think I'll just pick up the one I linked to and hope for the best. :salute:

    Spare Wheel

    Hah! I'm in MN now, but I'll be in OR in a few months. I want it for my haul to OR. :( I think I'm going to take the AT's that came with the truck off and buy some CS Fuel max tires and might as well spring for a nice spare while I'm at it.

    Spare Wheel

    The spare that came with my ST is all rusted and I was shopping around for a spare ST wheel. Found a few different results, most are around 300$, but a couple sites offer them at 144$ shipped. What do ya think? http://www.partsultimate.com/product/231687

    Sport Trac Accessories Thread

    1st post- What's the deal with the bumper grille, they just don't come with one? I noticed it was missing when I bought it and figured I could just pick up a stock one somewhere later. I was surprised to notice that the truck doesn't come with a bumper grille, except for the adrenaline model...
