[Broken External Image]: She does not look this good as age has caught up to her a bit, but my 02 Sport Trac ( 130k) has been one of the most reliable Fords that I have ever owned. The Trac has been passed down to my son who is taking good care of her and it still runs like a champ...

My 2001 Sport Trac is still going strong and my 17 year old son loves it. Unfortunately, this past week, in traffic, getting on to an on ramp in stop and go traffic my 2007 Honda Pilot ( 4WD, EX-L ) was hit. The car had damage in the back and front ( was sandwiched ) and the initial estimate...

I was hoping there might be some fishing junkies that might be able to give me some advise. My son, 19, started fishing quite a bit this year with a friend. His friend has a ton of fishing gear, so my son uses his equipment when they go out. They mainly fish in the local reservoir - bass...

Any ST friends in the Madison, WI area ? My daughter is a UW grad and is now living/working in Madison. I bought her a 07 Hyundai Elantra in the spring with 48k for miles, and my son and I drove it out there from the Boston area. It is in really nice shape and I made sure it was checked...

Hi, I just had my 02 serviced at Sears ( tires, etc ) and I have a "squeeking" coming out of the rear end. The mechanic told me that it is the "shackle on the leaf spring". He told me they didn't have the ability to fix it and to bring it to a local mechanic. Q's --- a) Is this...

I have forced hot water furnace with baseboard heating. My second floor ( zone) is knocking/noisy when the heat comes on, so I will assume it is air in the system/zone. I know it is not hard to purge the air, but I cannot remember the exact steps. 1. Shut off finance [Broken External...

I reached the 100k club - 2002 :banana: [Broken External Image]:

I have a 2007 Honda Pilot - 50K miles. I want to swap out the tires before winter, and I have read the Michelin Cross Terrain SUV's are the best tires. They run about $170 per tire, and to be honest, I don't care about the cost, but I do care about the value. Anybody have these tires - pro's...

Happy New Year ! I have a knocking sound when I go over bumps on the right hand side of my 02, and I think that I have identified the issue, but I am ... well ... challeged when it comes to cars. I noticed this was different on the right hand side when inspeciting the front end. It...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090226/wl_sthasia_afp/indiaautonanotatacompany_20090226081207 OK, maybe I am just to "Americanized" to drive this with so much lacking in safety, but I am sure there are many people in the US that would purchase this car if given the chance. Not me ! At...

Hi, In the past week, I have heard a "rattle" coming from the front end, left side, and it is most pronounced when I ride over small bumps. The best that I can explain it is like taking a ping pong ball, putting it in a jar, and shaking it. I don't notice it when I run over larger bumps...

If you are looking for a good FRIDAY LOL then you need to watch this. It's a riot! http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1370868150/bctid3130509001 <A HREF="http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1370868150/bctid3130509001"></A>

What is your idea(s) to get the US Auto Industry KICK started? I'm sure we could all argue over this proposed bail out (for and against), so I was just thinking of what innovative things the auto industry could do to help themselves. Here are a few of mine: 1. 100K bumper to bumper...

I know there are many posts on the blinking O/D light issue, but I wanted to post my situation and get some advise. The O/D light has been randomly blinking now for about 3 years. I can go for periods of weeks and nothing happens, and then I will have a day or two where the O/D light...

I decided to bring in my 02 ST (81K) for a full tune up, serpentine belt, and finally get the "check engine" light diagnosed. Additionally, I started to get idle flutter in the past few weeks. Three codes came back p0171 - p0174 - p0300. P0171 - lean fuel #1 P0174 - lean fuel...

I just crossed the 85K mark. For the most part my 02 Sport Trac has been rock solid, with no major issues, and I have been diligent about keeping up with most of the scheduled maintenance – fluids, brakes, tires, alignments, etc. I had the Ford major service at 30K and 60K. I just had...

How many of you folks from the Northeast enjoyed this 70's degree weather? All I can say is Zowie! I have lived here (MASS) my entire life and cannot ever remember a day quite like this. I love to cycle (any cycling junkies out there?), so I was able to get in about 35 miles and I was...

Hi ST Friends, My wife is tired of driving a mini-van (2004 - Windstar 38K), so we are considering a 2007 Escape Hybrid. All that I have read up on it looks very positive, and I definitely want to stay in the Ford family. I am curious of what members think about this vehicle and does...

I had the stock tires (Wranglers) and at 65K they were worn. My mechanic told me that I had a good 6-10K left, but with the NE winters, I decided to upgrade and went with the Michelin Cross Terrain. All that I can say is "WOW!!!" I have always read posts on this board about how people rave...

My ST is rolling up on 50K and running pretty solid. I have noticed over the past two winters the following: When I first start the ST up, (warm or cold), and I start out and it begins to change gears, when it goes from what I think 1st to 2nd gear, the RPM's shoot up, and then it drops back...
