I have a set of aftermarket cross bars and the clamps that will fit on the Trac's factory roof rails (Gen 1 for sure, not sure about Gen 2). They have 1" square aluminum bars and all 4 clamps have plastic covers that "lock" into place. I hauled a kayak on them easily. $50 plus...

A big thanks to all on this forum for all your help and enjoyment while I owned the Trac. Just time for a change. I've driven gas-guzzeler trucks since 1992 and decided it was time to remedy that...so... I bought a 2014 Ford (of course) Fusion Hybrid. Got the SE loaded up, they didn't...

And I have been grilled relentlessly for my eligability on one occasion. You just never know.

Just replaced my Interstate battery. It was in the truck when I bought it...in 2006. They make a good battery. I replaced it with a AutoZone Silver for $127. Figured I don't need a seven year battery.

8500 miles a year is the PERFECT candidate for leasing. Generally, they have a 12,000 mile limit and you can easily re-negotiate that number. If you keep the vehicle in good shape and don't mod, its a good way to get a high-end vehicle for lots less thsn buying. It just isn't for everything.

I love the 87 towing tune, but I'm much more of a torque kind-of guy. I could care less if if your car can go 150 mph if it takes 2 miles to get there. Give me a hard launch and enough guts to go from 35 to 65 quickly and I'm happy. The towing tune does just that, hard launch, snap shifts...

TOO FRICKIN BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it is an Android tablet, get as much memory as possible to start off with. Android only allows documents (pics, ebooks, data etc) to be on the external SD cards and only some apps will be allowed to be installed on the SD card. A couple of games will fill up a 4 gig tablet. I don't...

Mine is doing the same thing. Looks like a door disassembly in my future.

Had the exact same symptoms last week. Temp normal, then just shot up to the top of the scale and my HOBDrive showed 257 degrees. I was in traffic, so I stuck it in neutral and gave it a bit of throttle to spin the fan and it dropped right back down to normal.. I watch ed it really closely for...
