    MTRs are GREAT tires. I got 70k miles on my set of 33" MTRs!! Plus, they do have the nice sidewall!

    pure ethanol conversion

    You can make Ethanol from any bio product. Corn is a great material to use!! Even the stalks... But I think you need to speak with the ATF if you want to do this!! Ethanol has trouble starting in cold weather. That is why it is used a lot in Brazil, and not in the North.

    Help finding a truck over 6,000 lbs.

    Actually - The amount that could be written off went up to $100k in 2004.... Not sure if it still exists in 05.

    Help settle a Bet with the Wife

    F = MA If you have more mass, you require more force to push it. With a half empty tank, it would take less energy to push her forward... This would be contradictory to her assertion, unless you fctor in the trip to the gas station every other day!

    E85 "conversion"

    E85 denotes 85% Ethanol right in the name! Many states run E10 (10%) in the winter for smog reasons. Stock Ford vehicles can compensate up to 30% in their fueling algorythms. E85 WILL NOT run in ANY vehicle. Do not try it unless you really want a new crate motor! This system looks...

    New Explorer Brush Guard

    Nope The frame is different between the X and the Trac. You can always modify it to make it work... but it won't bolt right on.

    Help finding a truck over 6,000 lbs.

    That will be a nice tax write off ;) Almost any FULL size will get you there. If you are going to the dealerships, check the door sticker (driver door) - It will have GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) right on it!! Ford, Dodge, and Chevy full sizes (especially crew cabs) will get you where...

    How hard is it to flip the axle?

    SOA will give you about 5-6" of lift on these trucks! You will need major height in the front to compensate for it, or your butt will be in the air. Check RCD for a nice coil over suspension kit - 5" suspension kit for up front ;)

    Lifting

    Looks good, but a spindle lift is for 4x2 only. If you have 4x4, you will have to do suspension work. Check RCD for a coil over suspension kit! Warrior makes decent shackles, and Fabtech makes spindle kits. That looks similar to mine (pre-bumper days!)... [Broken External Image]:

    thinking of buying a ram???

    Just picked up a Hemi Quad cab myself... Couldn't resist the deal! My payments are HALF what they were with my Trac (although its paid off now!) and the fuel economy is comparable! I was getting 15mpg in my ST and am averaging about the same in the new Ram!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!! Love the...

    E-85 study

    Wouldn't run it in non Flex-Fuel. Flex fuel vehicles have wide band O2 sensors and some special gaskets/stainless fuel lines. Alcohol is caustic to the normal aluminum lines and will swell and burst normal O-rings. That aside, non flex fuel vehicles can not compensate for the flow rate of...

    '01 ST - Nice play toy!

    I regret to say that I have been rather sporadic in my posts to this site in the last year or two. My life has taken many turns, and I do miss the comeradere from this site! And as the title suggests, it is time for me to part ways with my beautiful Sport Trac. I have done many...

    Who out there hasn't had a serious problem?

    95k and no major issues! I replaced the thermostat at 65k and she was happy again! Nothing else besides normal maintenance.... I love my ST, but I regret to say I have outgrown her. Check the "For Sale" section for a listing soon... I'd love to send her to a loving family! [Broken...
