DAMN!! So.. This weekend was used up test driving SUVs... The little guy requires that we get a larger vehicle, and I am now left with a great delimna... Do I sell or trade in the SVT, or do I suck up and spend an extra 10 grand on the new vehicle and keep the SVT..... grrrr
Cheers,
Tom

One child requires an SUV  I like to think my car has more than enough room for a kid in the back, maybe not for a basketball player, but a kid, yeah, I got enough room! If you buy a SUV just get a 'slade. 6.2L and 345Hp should suffice!

the 03 expedition is friggin tight. sunday i went to the ford expedition event at 3com park. that was tight. test drove some f150s, a ranger, and an expedition on an offroad course. there was also a drag race of a focus and a stang gt. i also autocrossed the focus. the auto gt does 0-50 in about 5-6 seconds depending on how you launch  pretty slick ass event. also more great news. the car pings in this wonderfully warm weather. **** ****. found that out at sears point last week. anyone installed the dual mode damper yet? walnut creek ford wants a 100 to do it. grrr. -jason

-jason $100 sounds like a decent-good price! most shops were quoting people 1.5hrs, versus your 1hr quote. Its a do it yourself if you got the tool. You know if Autozone rents em out for free? What did you run at the track? I think plugs and wires are next on my beast, almost at 30K.

i'm at 42k, think i should do plugs and stuff too?
ran a 15.1 at 90.
my last was a 15.2 @ 93.6
my only new mod is that 75mm maf. so either the maf is killin me, or the pinging is. i hope its the pinging.
i'll be buyin octane booster next time i roll up to the track.

$100 is pretty much the going rate for most people who have posted. I hope to do this soon if I keep my car.

Yes but I am gonna get stuck with part of the bill so I am gonna wait to see how much the damage is before I invest any money in the car.
