    Predictable TPMS fault behavior

    My 08 XLT gives me a TPMS fault anytime I'm on the interstate and go over 70 mph. Otherwise, I never get a fault. If I set cruise control for around 68, no problem. But if I exceeed 70, after about 10 minutes I get the fault. Could I have a loose band? Or what else could be the issue. When...

    does "new to me" need any special fluids, additives?

    Just got a new to me 08 Sport Track XLT, RWD, 47,000 miles on it. I know it's had a radiator flush, and an oil change. Should I run anything else through the engine, transmission, etc? Was thinking of having the local dealer do the 45,000 service on it. I'm not sure of the care the truck got...

    Bed cover choice

    Just recently purchased an 08 Sport Trac. Been thinking of a bed cover. Birthday coming up! But I need advice. Factory hard cover seems very expensive. Was thinking of Truxedo Lo Pro. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? I very rarely haul anything large. Would like to stay in...
