    CB radio suggestions?

    I'm looking into putting a CB radio into my Taurus. I've got a few friends who use them, and I just think they're cool in general. What kind of setup should I be looking at? I don't need anything ridiculous, but I'd like some good distance. I'm also wondering how much it'll affect the...

    Taurus cold idle issue

    My 2002 Taurus SES 3.0 DOHC V6 has an issue when cold. The CEL is on and it idles rough, as in.. almost stalls when sitting still in or out of gear. This issue completely resolves itself once it's warmed up. Although, the CEL is still on. Any ideas?

    2002 Ford Taurus Colored Mirror Insert Q

    Hey guys, I recently had to replace the mirror on one side of my Taurus and the new mirror doesn't have the colored insert like the old one. I can't figure out how to get the insert off the old one so I can put it on the new one. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. Thanks in...

    Simple question

    What's an easier situation to light up the tires?- From a dead stop, with no brake - Doing 30 mphObviously, powerband has something to do with it. But if a car has 450 rwhp in the mid to upper range, it should still be able to break the tires loose from a stop.. not just bark them.. right?!

    Learning idle question

    I've had a hunting idle problem in my F150 for quite a length of time. I've only had the chance to install a new IAC/TPS since she's been off the road. Now, it hasn't fixed my hunting idle issue but what I'm wondering is since I can't drive it could that be the reason it hasn't resolved itself...

    It's pretty much confirmed..

    I've pretty much confirmed why my truck feels like it's got more oomph than a truck 302 with longtubes should have..First, a long while ago I ran into the guy that did the semi-resto on my truck at the pumps. Not the guy that sold it to me, but the guy who sold it to the guy that sold it to...

    Thinking about switching to carb..

    What do ya'll think? I know I can get it emission tested without a visual inspection, I still need to have cats but that's no biggie.. think I could make it pass? Would it be worth it? Or should I just keep fighting with the EFI? I don't drive the truck in the winter so that eliminates needing a...

    Starting question.

    Ok, here's the problem.Every time I go to start my truck (not very often atm) I have issues starting it. My starter gear doesn't actuate and mesh with the flywheel, it just spins freely. That or my flywheel teeth are gone (hope not!). I can eventually get it to start, it just takes a while of...

    Hurst Shifter Install

    Well, the shifter arrived on thursday and I just got around to installing it today. I wasn't going too, because it's freezing cold out.. even in the garage.
