You just have to configure Torque pro with the Ford PIDS that come with it Its real nice to have the temp readouts easy to see on the head unit while...

    a "new" trailer for my Expedition

    I am really surprised is sags like that. I have a boat and trailer that pushes 6000 lbs and it sits level.

    Exhaust manifold repair.

    yeah I doubt it will last long. Problem is the header will keep rusting under the patch and deteriorating and the epoxy will loose its grip worth a try though

    I worked on the original Escape prototypes. Believe it or not they started out as Mazda MPV's we would get them in, tear all the sheetmetal and drivetrains out and built them into the first version of the Escape. I used to drive a heavily camouflaged one home on my lunch break when one needed...
