Have not been on here lately due too life issues. Going through separation / divorce and its been a long ongoing process.
The taurus SHO has been my primary means of transportation. The expedition has the engine tick which may be as simple as a bad lash adjuster or potentially a bad valve guide or ?! So it has been sitting and while it sat the battery died. Would not hold a charge after jump started and run. Recently had a decent snow fall... maybe a foot?! Not really impressed with the taurus sho's awd capabilities. To be fair the tires are original and it has over 50k miles so its almost like driving on slicks as far as snow is concerned. That and I think it may have 4" of ground clearance..lol.
Well the expedition got plowed in and I decided I needed to get it running. Had a flat. Screw in tire. Pumped it up. Got new battery.. thanks to being only a year old Mr. tire replaced it for free after they tested it and found it to be bad. Install the new battery and she starts right up! Woo Hoo!! Thinking she is plowed in.... humm.. wth.. Drop it in 4 high and give it some gas and she plows right through. That was fun so put in in reverse and go through again... lol. Repeat the process several times and make a nice mess out of the snow. So much fun..
Since I had her running decide to take the tire to get fixed and proceeded to drive her around town. Tick is still there but damn is she a beast!! Figure wth... get on her a few times and she did not disappoint. Lays me back in the seat hard and just screams! I was grinning ear to ear. The instant torque of the roots blower is very addicting!! It makes my sho feel somewhat lazy..

Tom the sleeper is still one of the nicest expeditions I have seen. Glad to see your doing ok.
