Nelson OKC, Also put Odesa onto your list of cities to visit in Ukraine. Your comments about Putin are interesting and enlightening. Russia seems to always fall that way. My friends from Finland, and probably those in Poland, always joke that during their time in the military for...

You should all blame fox news and others for airing this trash. There are crazy people everywhere and this bunch are just horrible enough to attract media attention. It is a downside of a free and commercial press. (consider the alternative) I refuse to watch the clip to determine the...

I did, jimp. I just heard from the service tech. They replaced the Neutral Safety Switch. I guess they run an electrical check on everything before they start with the expensive stuff. And wouldn't you know, that this was not included in the warranty, but from the original trans...

I noticed the O/D light flashing when I started the '02 ST after it sat for a week in one of those off site airport lots. I thought I must have hit the OD button on accident, so I hit it again. That didn't seem to do it so I hit it yet again. I saw it blink once more after I stopped to grab a...

I cleaned the IAC at lunch today. Ran fine on the short trip around the block. I wasn't able to get it as clean as Todd Z, but we shall see. Thanks, Rodger &/or Georgia and Fast Eddie. Chris H.

What are the symptoms associated with a cracked elbow? The AC works as well as any AC I've ever had. That being said I've never had a really good AC but in ATL GA there is no such thing. I thought that freon loss would mean the air would not be as cold? Thanks.

I ran the AC for the first time this year as I was taking some work mates to lunch. As I cranked it to drive back to the office, the truck ran rough and would not hold an idle. It stalled a few times in the parking lot, but I coax it onto the road and make it about halfway back. I have no...

Hey, SporTRACing, have you thought about how you are going to wash off the mud with the Atlanta watering restrictions? You could park it on a golf course and let their sprinklers hose it off for you! (ha ha, I 'm so funny)

Chris M., If you don't mind. What was the cost? I spent $2200 on a reman with 2 years warranty. It shifts as well as ever but not as well as I would have hoped. I will *certainly* flush in 30k miles! Chris H.

TJR, Is it ponderous because you think I may be overreacting to a minor problem or that my situation supports you position that the manufacturer has placed profit before sound engineering practice? I agree with you on a lot of points and it's frustrating, especially when you are...

79k, no towing since I bought it at 45K. Maybe not before that since the previous owner traded it in for a Lexus and it only has the bumper mounted hitch. Thanks guys, I was only joking about the donations. Chris H.

Well, I been following Chris M.'s troubles and I seem to be having a similar problem. The 2-3 shift runs out about three times in ten shifts. I spent $105 for the local Ford service to recommend a $1700 exploratory surgery. The Local Tranny Shop (LTS) will install a remanufactured unit for...

Hey Todd Z, What is that "shelf" on top of your wheel well? Is it held in somehow to keep it from flying around on the highway? Thanks, Chris H.

This is a very timely post for me and my 02 70K ST. (Thanks to Stonemiser and the other Chris a little farther down the alphabet.) Does anyone know an honest tranny shop in North Atlanta? How about Tilden in Dunwoody? They have done maintenance work on my wife's Volvo before with no...

Does that mean you can "jack rabbit" off the line and accelerate quickly to cruising speed and then race right up to the next stop and slam on the brakes and still save gas? Sounds kind of fun actually. But seriously, I would really like for hybrids to work out. Maybe someday.
