    10% ethanol junk has junked my car

    10% ethanol mix has been around for a long time. Are you sure you didn't put e85 in it. My 91 and my 95 ran fine with the "summer blend"..

    Mustang GT vs. 350z - Not one of those posts, I promise.

    Hmmm...... the Renault/ Nissan group seems to have done something right 10 years in a row with that motor http://wardsauto.com/reports/2007/tenbest/ BTW look who else made it.:nice:

    spark plug Q's!

    No need for plugs, but if you are like me and have this need to "tinker" take them out and see if the factory gapped them correctly, clean them etc.. You might notice some cheapo stuff FoMoCo put in your ride....:rlaugh: I know I did.

    300 rwhp?????

    The difference is...to separate your money from your wallet. These aren't the old pellet style converters from the '70's. Money best spent else where :flag:

    Warranty Breakers?

    The sales people will say anything to make the deal :D Learn about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. It depends on the dealer, but good luck getting a driveability problem fixed under warranty with an aftemarket tune and throttle body etc... They will blame those parts first, say you're racing...

    Ford cut backs

    When I said "tanked" I meant the "big" body on frame ones. Your post is spot on :) the smaller "crossover" SUV's are just what the doctor ordered. For the most part, SUV's of the past ended up in the hands of a single driver or a mom with 2 little kids. :notnice: They are just big guzzlers...

    Ford cut backs

    I posted sometime back how FoMoCo needs to scale back on the SUV's and Trucks and start making some gas savers; I got flamed :rlaugh: I was told how people need these gas guzzling tanks and they are selling like crazy, and Ford is going in the right direction, and they won't go under etc...

    02 SS vs 07 GT- which would you buy?

    I bought an brand spanking new 01 Z28 stripper "no options", and it had some issues right out of the box. It was back at the dealer for a broken ring and pinion/diff at 2k miles. The dealer rebuilt the rear twice under warranty. I did it 3 times... broken axle, and two gear sets. The 10 bolt...

    Did you buy an extended warranty

    You can't go wrong with buying the FACTORY warranty. It's those 3 party companies that are scammers. It sure is nice when something major breaks at 48k :D It really depends on time/mileage. Oh, and don't buy any warranty if you plan on modding the hell out of it.

    Throwing 2 codes......

    These cars use the CAN protocol not ODBII and I'm sure a lot of stuff was rushed to market. Contact the companies that sold you the parts. The codes came after you put on the aftermarket stuff right.

    Does Ford want to go under?

    I'm sure Toyota wants to kill off the F150 and the GM trucks. You said they are making a pickup not a leather bound, dvd player in the seats 1/2 truck 1/2 van thing. Pickups are infinitely more useful than a soccer mom 4 wheel drive. They are probably making it in San Antonio to get around...

    Does Ford want to go under?

    Ford and Gm need to phase out these expensive guzzlers. Didn't this happen in the 70's? Detroit was building land yachts and the Japanese slipped in and bamm..the rest is history. You can haul, tow your boat, move people, or whatever with a regular pickup or van. I'm quite sure someone will buy...

    Does Ford want to go under?

    In case you haven't noticed Ford is in deep ****. They aren't selling nearly enough products. Why is that? What is with the personal attacks?

    Does Ford want to go under?

    So, do they really need to make the "Everest" AND the full size vans AND the pickups, AND the minivans AND midsize etc etc.. I think it's overkill with the truck stuff. Free up those lines to make MORE cars! Some compacts that get 45+ mpg along with a sports car or two would be :nice: But...

    Does Ford want to go under?

    Work..people need pickups for work. Families don't need a Monster SUV, my dad hauled all 5 of us around in a 4 door Buick.:shrug: A hybrid minivan would sell quite well. I think this is a bad move by them, this thing won't sell. Gas is going up, people are making insane commutes and drivers...

    Does Ford want to go under?

    What I meant by the topic was; where is the R&D? A redone SUV!!!... that's what they come up with.. sheesh that's lame. People wonder why the Asians and Germans are beating us. Oil is going up and the SUV market is toast. People will always need a Pickup, but another luxury SUV...
