    Traded the Sport Trac in and got a Fusion.

    Karma is beating me to death for some reason in 2009 and early 2010, so my life sucks, had to do something to make the bills go easier. So I traded my 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac in this past Wednesday on an 07 Ford Fusion. Hated to do it, but was behind on the payments 3 months, and it needed...

    Yoyota not admitting fault for problems.Acceleration.ABC news story

    First off, I would like to say as a former technician I know how sorry they are in admitting fault and trying to blame the customer for THEIR problems. We had a TSB for Oil gelling in the heads on engines. They sent out a TSB to US, not customers to remove and clean the heads. And how to blame...

    black chrome... anyone know anything about it?

    I have seen "black chrome" wheels on cars and other parts. I have seen a few Mercedes and Lexus cars with the emblems done this way. I think the PROPER way is electroplating, like gold plated emblems. So I don't want to hear about tint sprays, paint, etc...I want it to be permanent. Anyone know...

    WHY are there different sections for 02-05 and 06-up?

    Why are there two sections for the 2002-2005 and 2006-up models? They are pretty much the same vehicle with only minor changes.

    3rd gens, LED bulbs and message center... says bulb out when it's not?

    I figured I would try some 31 LED bulbs, 3157 in my tails. They worked fine, blinked with signal, got brighter with brakelights, lit up brightly with lights on, much better than stock. But the message center said the LR and RR signal bulbs were out. So I put the stock 3157's back in. I don't...

    Is there a way to keep foglamps on with highbeams?

    I tried to search and found nothing. On my 07 Explorer sport trac when I turn on the high beams, the foglamps go OFF. I would like to have them stay on. Is there a way to do this? I dunno why Ford designed it that way, seems it would be better to have both on.

    Wonder how hard it would be to do THIS for Explorers? RIZE 8" lift for Expedition

    I just recently found out RIZE industries makes an 8" suspension lift for 03-up Expedition (fits up to 37" tires) which also is four wheel independant suspension with the rear axle running through the frame rails. It relocates the axles underneath. But I guess the supply and demand theory...

    I saw a 2008 Ironman edition Explorer today. First one I ever heard of. Looked cool with the orange foglamps,blacked out headlights, black grille, fender flares and bumper apps, etc. But I was wondering what if anything is different other than looks?
