Hey Guys...The trac has been running rough lately. Started out as an occasional bump, kind of like someone hopping around in the engine bay. Tried to retrieve some DTC codes and nothing comes up. Cleaned the TB, IAC, and did the seafoam in the brake booster line and gas tank. Didn't fix the...

Just wanted to drop by and say hi to everyone. Been ages since I last made a visit...How's everyone doing? I started painting one section of cladding on my ST, and I plan to do some routine intake maintenance since it's been idling a little rough lately. Any suggestions? Hope all is well with...

I'm in the market for a bolt action rifle and I've narrowed it down to 3 choices based on recommendations from friends and local gunshops: 1. Winchester model 70 - I've used this rifle in the past and is most likely the one I'm going to get due to performance and competitive price point...

Been thinking of doing something "custom" to the emblems for a while now and I'm sure someone here has removed the rear Ford tailgate emblem. Can someone enlighten me on how I go about doing this? I've got the front covered, just need advice on the rear. It seems the only way to do it is to...
