RE: Im doin the seafoam!

I used the PCV hose, too. I actually cut the bottom off of a beer can. Since I didn't leave in backwash in the beer can, it was easily rinsed off and dried. I then poured very little Seafoam into the...

RE: Explorer

My wifes 2004 Exploder has the BFG Rugged Trail. I think they seem like good tires. Looks like 00blackblazer found them at Sears within your price range.

RE: 1999 4X4 Operation

Ranking of tires

RE: mileage

Cascades run from California up to British Columbia. I would think you are pretty safe in FL from getting gas from west of the Cascades. It sure would be a very long haul to get that gas to FL.
