Ct is terrible expensive. It costs my buddies parents less to live in hawaii, in a 2 mil house, about a tenth of a mile away from the water than it cost them to live in a 400k house in the woods in ct in salem!

aaron i made this video.. except you cant even hear it in the video(even in 1080p HD). really, its pretty obnoxious in person. its starting to sound like a typical older 5.4/6.8 with the huge exhaust leaks

i dont hear it, but i have seen a bunch of manifold leaks on those years. i would guess its that. does it go away after the engine gets hot?
try what my wife does, just turn up the stereo and act confused/surprised when someone mentions the noises your truck is making

My sister's escape does that, hear the leak when its cold, and when accelerating, but not after it warms up.

Evening guys.
I just got putting a new radio in the Explorer that has bluetooth built in.
I have gotten so used to having it in my truck I had to put in it.
The unit and mounting stuff was only $220, almost the cost of a phone use ticket.

Stock radio's have always been better for buttons as far as I am concerned. The aftermarket head unit's buttons are always so much smaller and poorly placed. The old pioneer "super tuner's" were always really good, but they have changed them considerably.
I wish I could say that Miles' picture representation of our waitress was way off, but, sadly, it's far too close. Even more unfortunate, the rest of the waitresses tonight were all far more attractive than usual.

Morning all.
I put an Alpine head unit in. I have always had good luck with them.
It even plays Pandora from my phone through bluetooth and has an aux input for the XM radio.
Who listens to the radio any more, to much BS.
