    Coincidence ???

(Here I will have to assume they blew because I have...

    1996 XLT High Idle

    My cousin's XLT all of the sudden idles high enough to engage the clutch. Started doing this in the middle of a recent ride. I sprayed some starting fluid down by the crankshaft and didn't seem to change anything. Any thoughts?

    OK, I know asking this can be dangerous, but I need to know. I just added another sled to the fleet and it has been running full synthetic. Both my other sleds run a semi-synthetic blend.

    No trailer title ??

    I found a trailer for sale here in Illinois, but the owner does not have the title because he bought it in Wisconsin? Why would that matter? Unless he is thinking the registration. How would a guy know it wasn't stolen? How much of a pain would it be to get it registered in Illinois? Any...

    12 volt outlet to power GPS

    Just got a Garmin GPS unit and was wondering how you guys have the power source set up. I am thinking a real easy way would be to have a 12v outlet plug right into my electric shield outlet. Then plug in the GPS power cord into the 12v outlet. Is that possible? Do they make a cord like this...
