Wasp spray is on the shopping list.... Thanks Ralphie

If there were ever an expert in this subject, they have spoken and I stand corrected. Actually glad to hear it. I have been on the receiving end of other cars that were 'correctly stored' garage queens and spent many hours and $$ in putting them back on the road. My experience is not with the...

If you buy an 'unused' GT today, you are buying damaged goods if you intend to drive it. A GT sitting for 10yrs is in FAR worse condition internally than one that has seen limited regular use. The unused one got ravaged by time, rather than the previous owner. There are no new GTs and those...

Yep, blue is the looker.....

Tire Rack does not list a Hoosier R6 in a 315/40-19 that I can find. Was it discontinued?

The shim thing has been debated a bit. I did not bother, the tensioner is near center of its range and there is no belt slip to past 16psi. I did insist on a steel pulley not aluminium due to slip issues but have not had need for the shims at the PS pump. Replaced the belt at the 20k service...

The lumbar bladders and pump balls are available aftermarket. Got some for my wife's Escape from a seller on Amazon. They are not expensive. Trouble will be with installing them in the GT seats with the vent holes....

Don't need a lift but the blower needs to come off. Not a particularly hard job for a competent mechanic. Took me about 3 hours all in but I took my time.

Which size Hoosier are you guys running on the rear and how do they compare to the size and look of the Bridgestone on the car? IE are they nearly the same height? What are you running on the front? My current set of Bridgestone rears are nearing end of life and this thread might have me...

Not sure what TSB you are referring to on the DI engines. ALL ecoboost engines are DI. We have owned 2 now and been very pleased with both. Current one is in wifes Escape, a 2.0EB that now has 45000 on it. Peppy little CUV and has been very reliable. I get all the TSBs on our vehicles via...

Thanks! The Odyssey group 75 is available from Amazon for 267 w/ free shipping and 3yr warranty. It does look identicle to the Sears other than the red top. Thanks for posting.

So what are the preferred replacements these days? AutoZone and Orielly Auto are both selling a line of AGM batteries now, any good? Correct size? What about Odyssey?

Oops, sorry. Thought you were speaking of the oil drain plugs. Don't know what size the trans plug is off hand.

http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-097-021-AutoGrade-Rubber-Gasket/dp/B000CIQY78 This is a box of 25. Its a 12mm. Many auto parts shops have carded ones with 2 or 4 in a package. I keep a box of these and a box of the 14mm (097-025) ones on hand and they fit 90+% of the cars, bikes, trucks and...

If the plug is leaking, just replace the washer. A new copper washer or bonded rubber washer work great.

Lots of recent rumors about a hot little two seater Lincoln. Anyone can confirm, deny or add to the rumor mill?

You can see all of this information with TorquePro app on your android device and a bluetooth OBDII interface module.

First, the O2 sensors do not measure temperature. They meassure air/fuel ratio with a wide voltage swing right at the stociometric point. With the rear O2 sensors turned off, the CEL light will never be set for cats missing. The OBD Emmissions check will show all tests ready except for the...

That would certianly poison the 4 sensors but would just set the CEL permanently. Or if reset it would just come back within 3 drive cycles. Besides, the foreward 2 sensors are important for the ECU to auto adjust fuel trims. Running without them long term would eventually lead to the fuel...
