I purchased an 04 Limited V8 with 105xxx miles on it about a month ago. Test drove it probably 20 miles with no issues what so ever. Within maybe two weeks the problems started arising. First off I get a low speed shudder/vibration almost like the tires are rubbing. I'm guessing it's my...

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement rear hatch panel online for a reasonable price? Doesnt need to be painted because I plan on shaving the Ford emlem. This is why you never take your car to a machine car wash. The high pressure driers ripped the panel completely off and the car...

Well I just moved to Overland Park, Kansas from California and I finally got to play in the snow in my Ex. We didnt get much snow but coming from a place where it NEVER snows it is better than nothing. The Ex handles surprisingly well, although I have never driven in the snow so I have nothing...

I just drove my dads 2002 XLT V8 2wd to the auto store to pick up parts for my 2002 Limited V8 4wd and man his has way more power than mine. His is completely stock and the tranny is starting to go. My tranny was just replaced less than 2,000 miles ago, I just flushed and replaced the coolant...
