My Sport Trac is running fine. I have close to 90,000 miles on the plugs, but I just don't feel like changing them anytime soon. The problem is our Mounty. We have a 2006 Mounty with the 4.6 V8. In 2012, I changed the OE plugs (not one single problem pulling the old ones out) and I replaced...

We found out yesterday that Theresa is carrying my son. We were pretty convinced it was going to be a girl, but the doctor says otherwise and has pictures to prove it. We are at 21 weeks, so we are just past the halfway point. We are VERY excited! Tom

I really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, wanted a Harley Davidson Heritage Softail. Unfortunatly, I could not justify the price. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself the cost is worth it, I just can't do it. I ended putting money down on this tonight. [Broken External Image]: It...

We have a vibration on our 2000 Explorer 4x4. If you apply throttle, starting at about 25 MPH, we get a vibration. If I let off the throttle, the vibration goes away. It has been a rough winter and for some reason, winter does not want to go away (Global warming I guess:banghead:). Anyways...
