    Cold Air Intake

    I have been looking at cold air intakes for my 05' ST, currently i have a flowmaster muffler and a 3 inch exhaust tip, but i want to add a CAI system for a little better performance and sound, what cold air intakes will fit the ST? i prefer K&N but looking around at different sites most of them...

    exhaust setup

    i was down at the muffler shop yesterday and i wanted to do an si/do setup but the guy told me its very difficult to set up a dual setup on these trucks because of the fuel tank being in the way, so i ended up just getting a single setup.

    we get gas mileage like a truck so yes :D. plus it comes in 2wd and 4x4 not awd like ridgelines and claiming to be 4wd.

    New Oregonian

    you can always look up the VIN online, i looked mine up i have an 05 xlt mine has basically all the stuff yours has, plus paint matching bumper and running boards, step bars, but i don't have the towing package or L/S, i guess every trac is unique lol.

    what lift and how high?

    you could probably get by with cranking the T-bars that will give it a 1.5-2 inch lift plenty of room for 31's and it looks good, its the cheapest too. if you want to take it a little further go with a body lift.

    Replacement shocks

    Hard time starting when i get gas

    mines running fine, its an 05 with 122k miles did it have regular service done with the previous owners,? you might wanna check the fuel line for leaks and see if you can smell gas coming out when you do start up.

    Explorer, Jeep or 4 runner??

    the only problem i heard of with the latest explorers is sometimes when you accelerate a little harder you can smell burning oil. but other than that it's probably reliable. i also don't like GM at all really as mentioned earlier reliability can always be an issues with them, i still see plenty...

    Ethanol E85

    Hello, i noticed when i purchased my sport trac last week it is FFV and i live in ohio, so there is a great amount of E85, its cheaper but i know it burns quicker. but my question is how is the mpg compared to normal gasoline? and is e85 bad for your engine and any other components?
