    I have a 98 Explorer Limited I will sell you lol. Need to sell it to buy an old truck anyway.
    Excellent condition. Black with grey leather. V8. Gets an average of around 14 mpg city, 20 mpg highway.
    All wheel drive. Air bag suspension.
    One small scratch, no rust.
    New tires. Almost 100k miles.
    Just not used enough, and I would have more use for a truck.

    gm's are 100 times easier to diagnose.

    I probibly have the same engine in my Explorer as your mustang. So if nothing else you will have a spare 5.0
    I believe that it has the heads on it that they used in the Cobra's though. Not the standard 5.0 head they had on most mustangs.

    i have a carbureted motorycle. i've taken the carbs apart 10 times now. can't figure out the #### problem. she has a sweet spot that she runs like a champ. anything out of that sweet spot and she struggles.

    one of these days i'm going to have enough money to buy a fuel injected motorcycle. i'm thinking sometime in the next 10 years the economy should be improved again.

    I have a Yamaha Star 1300. It is fuel injected. Good bike, low maintenance.
    I had ALLOT of older bikes over the years. I use to buy them out of sheds for 100 bucks each or so, clean them up and sell for a profit.
    I got past that after college though and kept one for almost 13 years. It sat too much though and I did not get it back to the inlaws garage one winter and after that I was done with it.
    Got tired of tuning it up every spring. It was a 4 cyl so 4 carbs.
    Ran good most of the time, but the intakes got to cracking and was too much to replace. Eventually I gave it away. Would have been worth maybe 800 bucks if I fixed it. But I would have had so much time in it and parts it was better to give it away.

    On the road so much now I would rather go home and just ride. No need to worry about the other stuff. I change the fluids when needed. Has belt drive so no chain.

    Thanks CD, I did gather all the logs they needed and resent them. All the other stuff was to just CYA and to prove that I was doing my part. Sure hope they get them all this tho!!!

    that most defenitly sounds like a vacuum leak. did he disconnect a line somewhere and forgot to put it back on. when he took off the air filter.

    don't know about his old age syndrome but mine is defenitely getting bad.

    i can put a screwdriver down and 5 seconds later i'll be looking for it. won't have a clue where the hell i put it.
