Since the government is looking to make electronic roll/stability control systems mandatory by 2012, I'm wondering how they work with manual transmissions? As I understand, the system acts, on it's own, to apply brakes and control engine speed in order to keep the car upright. That's a...

I'm going to try and sell my street bike. I've not tried to sell a bike before and am a little uneasy about handing the keys to anybody that answers the ad. Any advice?? Should I take them to an empty parking lot for the test drive? Should I let someone drive that doesn't have a...

Just saw this on the news. Social Security Numbers and Date of Birth info for around 26 million veterans since the Vietnam era has been stolen. A VA analyst took the data home without authorization and his home was burglarized (at least that's the official story). Unbelievable. Keep an...

Not a complete transfer of the 4Trac concept but nice. Sounds like the Ranger badge is doomed in the USA. Too bad. I'd be interested in a compact 4-door pickup but all the makers seem to be upsizing. Illini up by 10. Woo-Hoo.

Selling a pair of slightly used Pioneer TS-D681R 6x8 speakers. I tried these as my back speakers but without an amp, they really didn't come to life. Ended up keeping my OEM speakers in back. Some specs (link has more): 60W nom. / 260W max 27Hz - 32kHz freq. response Built-in...

Check out this Sport Trac. Scroll about 3/4 down the page.

The JET Accu-Speed corrects the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) signal for changes in tire size or gearing. Restores accurate speedometer reading and properly timed shifts. Some skill required for installation and calibration. Module has 4 wires to run: 1. 12V supply - ignition switched 2...

Traded in the ST yesterday on an Escape. Thanks to Rich and to the members for all the good advice, ideas and lively discussion. I hope some Escape enthusiast runs a site as good as this one. Mark [Broken External Image]:

Sampling of Dallas pics in My Library. [Broken External Image]: Catchphrase for new ST...'Got chrome?' Nice vehicle but not WOW! (for me) Thanks to Rich, the volunteers and Ford. It was my first meet and big-time auto show. Enjoyed both and was great to hang with the select...

I'm bringing an Island Blue ARE Z-series topper and (2) '01 grey leather seats. Hopefully someone in Dallas is interested or maybe someone along the way. My route is flexible but I'm travelling from southern Indiana to Big D.

I was looking for some hope that Ford might extend the Family Plan pricing a little longer. That dang $500 coupon that came with latest Ford mailing is trying to push me over the edge on a 5-speed Escape. I found this out of Detroit: It looks like GM is extending and Ford doesn't like it but...

Thanks to some industrious carpenter ants, I'm remodeling a kitchen and bathroom. I'm looking at re-routing some water pipes and came across a product for solderless connection of copper piping. It's called Just for Copper and it looks great on the web page but it seems almost too good to be...

Dropped the ST off at Jiffy-Lube during lunch today (I know but I had a coupon and it's miserable H-O-T around here). When the tech gave me the fluid check rundown, he tried to sell me a rear differential oil change. He showed me a white card with a drop of 'my' dirty gear oil on it. I wanted...

Latest info from Rich Stern. This was getting bumped way back in the ST section.
