Hey, be careful. If you have the 235 originals on a 2WD, you may not want to go extreme. The allowance for rims sizes are up to 18". Do not quote me on that. If you only going to use it for road use, remember that you can lose stability in maneuvering. Check your specs with a pro. I...

The problem with the ST is that Ford Racing does not do anything with the 4.0. What engine is in your Ranger? A bigger filter probably won't mean better performance. A better filter definitely will. I run Ford and NAPA Gold filters only, in that order. I have run Walmart filters and found...

Hey, that's a nice bash. I'm going to figure $2,600. The Ford glass is spendy, but is better than the PPG glass, which is still very good. Also, the pillars may have been tweaked. Glad you're okay. Ed

I came across a bulletin not too long ago about the front end differential. The vent tube on some is too short and when the fluid gets hot, it spews the fluid out onto the front end making you think you have a leak. The diff cover needs to be replaced and the vent re-routed. If you still have...

Say, F, do you have the Pioneer 6 cd changer? If so, I have had the same problem on my '02. I discovered that not all cds are made the same. The thicker ones and sometimes the thinner ones get stuck. What I have found is that the credit card does not work well enough. Try your driver's...

Thanks, Todd. First, does Wayne have a web site? Also, I do not want to lose my bottom end. Can I just lose the very last cat in favor of no cat or a high flo cat, or will that just be a waste of money? Ed

Does anyone know what the configuration is for the '02 exhaust system? Does it have 5 cats or 2 pre-cats and 3 cats? Can the last cat be eliminated since it has no sensors or wires? If so, how will that affect the performance throughout the power bands?

Coastie, my '93 aerostar was like that. The van could not suck in enough air when cruising up the California Mountains after having been on the Nevada desert floor. The MAF always went bananas. My ST adjusted very well. Edman

Hey Brad, I may be a day late, but all the advice is primo. First, find out if you have 3:23 or 4:10 gears in the back. Then find out if it has limited slip. If it does, check to see if it still works. The 4:10 will smoke cheap tires and can break the limited slip-although Ford's rear ends...

Tom, this reminds me of the '60's and '70's when Pontiac, when it was still Pontiac, and Ford had to oblige the big boys-on paper. What's your take? Are we facing a performance crisis?

Sometimes, the gas we put in our vehicles is poor. Period. Ford suggestes BP Amoco fuels. I use Conoco, (it's made in the USA) and Amoco. I don't have Mobil or Exxon here, but their good, too. These all have detergents and will help. I also use Slick 50 fuel system cleaner every tire...

I have a 4WD '02 ST with 103,000 miles on it that still turns heads. I just recently took it to Washington State from ND while towing a 3k lbs trailer. The mountains were a pretty good challenge. The lighter air made the trailer weigh 2k more. I was able to maintain speed (55 to 70 mph)...
