    Looking to interview owners

    Bush has said that 1,000 times, the problem is that its not possible at the moment. Research needs to take place, although we won't see results of 30 years or so.

    Looking to interview owners

    This is my last 20mpg vehicle. My next will be a ~40mpg car. The main reason is that I take it long distance, its the contrast of spending $200 on fuel compared to spending $90 or less.

    Sirius Power Connections

    The first generation tuners had to be supplied 12v power. The newer ones don't.... they get it through the cable.

    Did Ford discontinue the Explorer Sport in the form of the sportrac? I have a 2001 Exp Sport and I can't find them on the Ford website anymore. Was it replaced with the XLT sport?

    BTW...the tuner is not $300-400. You can sign up and get it for like $50 somewhere. I'm not sure what the current deal is, but its usually quite affordable. Give Sirius as call and ask a salesperson. WWW.Sirius.com

    Warped rotors

    Has anyone had a big problem with warped rotors? I have 68,000 miles on my explorer and I am going onto my 4th set. I live on a dirt road and I suspect thats the cause of it.

    Gas Milage info

    After running exactly 1/2 tank of gas at 60mph I got 21.5 MPG. Not too bad I guess..... I wonder what I was getting at 85 MPH. I bet my K&N airfilter is helping too.... My car is rated for 22mpg at 55 miles per hour. I bet if I went 55 I could get 23mpg.

    Rattling Cam chain ---again

    So its possible to have the tensioners crap out twice. I got mine fixed in May and although the rattle sound is pretty much gone from 2500rpm-3000prm...I can still hear it a bit when the car is cold.

    Going to the Rocky Mountains, what to do before hand?

    You will be fine. I drove my 2001 Explorer through there a couple years ago and it handled fine. I had 3 other people in the vehicle and lots of camping junk. It kind of bogged a bit at times, but it wasnt too bad. Camp by Estes Park, CO. I found a campsite at 9000 feet and there was snow in...

    100,000 means nothing. If you take care of the vehicle, you should only be 50% through its life.
