Dear MYST.com folks, I am not the most prolific poster to this sight, but I have been using it for the past 5 years or so. The site is great for useful ST info. Yesterday, 2/28/09,my status as a Sport Trac owner came to an end. I bought my 2001 Sport Trac new in October 2000. Yesterday I...

I believe it was some off brand. Would cleaning the throttle body or intake help at all?

I had the check engine light come on over the weekend. Stopped into O'Reillys and read the code: P0401 - EGR Flow Insufficient Detected. I had the same code about 2 -3 months ago. I replaced both the EGR valve and the sensor. Is there something else I should be doing? Did I just get a...

The boat thing is because in certain stern drive boats, a small fuel leak in the engine compartment, even just the fumes can build up. In fact, my boat has a ventilator that I run to keep them from accumulating. Alcohol fumes are even sneakyer than gas. So it is not recomended to use ethanol...

Webby, I am a former KC resident up until a year or so ago. I still kind of miss it. A nice drive in the spring is in the Flint Hills of Kansas. We used to go out by the Paxico and Alma area around those hills when everything is greening up. It is beutiful and relaxing. The...

whoops. 2005. Good Catch.:cool:

I am asking this question on behalf of my father in law since I am not sure what he should do and neither is he. He has a 97 Harley Davidson Ultra Glide that he decided to customize at the end of 2005. So this summer was his first chance to hit the road with it. Among the customizations...

Why did he leave with soap still on the trac? The Hawk

Same as Ions above. Blinked for about 10 sec. That was a year and 15,000 miles ago. I have replaced the tranny fluid since then and it seems to be fine. The Hawk:cool:

I am not offended since I am not a Vols fan. I am offended because I own a Vizsla. The Hawk. :cool:

Not necessarily related to your question, but a good tip: I had success bouncing one dealer off of another. Went to one dealer for my wife's equinox with all the options she wanted. Went to another dealer with the sale equinox on the lot. Called the 1st back and told them that the 2nd...

At that many miles, I would probably play it safe and stick with what you have been using all along. Congrats on that many miles. The Hawk :cool:

I haven't done any shopping yet. I just got my Christmas lights taken down from last year. The Hawk:cool:

Around town: 16 Highway: 21 Towing boat to the lake: 14 The Hawk

Hey Gavin, Not trying to start a border war, but the last time I drove I70 from KC to St Louis, it was the bumpiest ride ever. When I lived in KC 2 yrs ago, missouri had the 2nd worst condition bridges in the country. It is good that they are earmarking money for roads, but it will be...

Iowa roads are terrible, and you are from Missouri? That is a first. Glad you had a good time though. The Hawk

I will Vouch for the Bridgestone Dueller Revos. I put them on last August and they have been the best tire I have ever used. They are excellent on wet pavement and they have never slipped, even in wet or snow. Also, there are Bridgestone/Firestone dealers all over the country if you need them...

There is one of these for practically every company. Type into google, yahoo, etc. any company and sucks (ie, Fed Ex sucks, Dell sucks, Best Buy sucks, etc.) and you will find a multitude of websites against that company for various reasons. This one happens to be backwoods and stupid...

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic. 5w30 in fall/winter/spring and 10w30 in summer. I think it does run smoother.

:cool:Whoops. Misfired. I agree with stonemiser. I looked into Royal Purple and Amsoil and the cheapest I could get it is 7.99 a quart. (And it seemed a hassle to get). I got valvoline Merc V at the local Advanced auto for $2.59 a quart. And it was easy, walked in, took off shelf...
