Rodger, I will change the O-Ring when I replace the T-Stat. I didn't replace the o-ring the last time I replaced the T-stat at 100k miles - it still looked good and the gasket that came with the new one was the generic paper type. I did replace the serpentine belt at 100k miles-easy job-no...

Fast Eddie, Yep you were right. I dried up all the surfaces after everything cooled down. There was some wetness around pretty much everywhere around the water pump but I though it was just splatter from what I thought was a high pressure leak down at the bolt. After wiping everything up I...

Hey Rodger! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I was thinking of changing at least the thermostat. I changed the upper and lower hoses at 100k miles. Should have done the heater hose as well looking back. How hard is the water pump to replace? It doesn't seem to be leaking at the moment. I'm...

Hi Guys. I haven't posted in a while-just been lurking a lot as discussions have been around the Gen 2 trac. My 2002 Gen 1, Job 2 Trac has almost 130k miles now an has been running great until I overheated the engine due to a burst heater hose while driving on the freeway. I pulled over as...

STanner is right. I have the Goodyear Fortera Silent Armor 265/75-16's and they will rub exactly like he said-Left Front when pulling into the driveway at full lock for less than 1/2 sec and the right rear passenger side when turning left (since the right rear well liner is not supported at the...

Get an Advance Cover! I have one and IMHO I think they are much better than the FORD cover. They are lower in profile than the Ford Tonnoue Cover and less than half the weight (about 35 lbs vs 75 lbs). They are also half the cost ( about $600 vs $1200). They mount in the holes that are...

As "mookie" said there is a mandatory lifeboat drill performed by everyone on the ship just as the ship leaves port. You WILL know where your lifejackets are (somewhere in your cabin) and the station that you will report to. It's actually a good time to meet the other people on the boat while...

I think the Fuel Door on the passenger side would be better (at least in my area). There are too many vehicles with the fuel door on the driver's side and they pile up behind the Left side pumps at the gas station. There are usually very few in line on the right side pumps at the gas station...

I like design of the new ST and the Gas Cap on the Right side. I don't know about your particular area but the lines at the gas stations here in San Diego are always long for the left-hand side pumps. The right-hand side pumps are usually clear or a short wait. The stations here also like to...
