I own a 95 explorer as a winter vehicle because my 02 Mustang is away for winter. A fuel pump for the Explorer just cost me $1,100 dollars because the pump is an outrageous $500.00 and $600.00 to install it. That's on a truck that is worth $3,000.00 tops. What do I do, scrap the truck over a fuel pump??
Iowned a 93 explorer last year, $85 US dollars for the whole sending unit, and I installed myself in under 3 hours. I cant imagine a pump costing that much.....was it fully "blinged out"?

Ford almost had a good idea with the focus.. but just didnt build it up enough to compete against the import cars out there. I think if ford built a 2 door roadster or something they'd have a better chance.
Absolutely right. A new Focus with two doors is a poor excuse for the sport coupes ford used to make. Case in point, the ZX2. While cheap and stripped and basic, it was incredible fun to drive, got amazing fuel economy, decent styling, and above average reliability for the era. And it was built STRICTLY to be a sports coupe, not a sedan turned into a coupe like most. And it served it's purpose with flying colors. Back when ford had ***** and passion for what they built.

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way , but are there any Ford guy's there anymore ? I mean ... really? They waist money and do things that are so out of touch with the working guy (that made Ford it's millions) it's sick . The THUNDERBIRD V-8 andSUPERCOUPE sold better then other cars in it's class , period. Yet...they did the one thing to the THUNDERBIRD you should never do.....GO RETRO . The Focus RS WRC car is stillnotsold here . They nowhave two models when it should only be one . And still , no Falcon GT over here yet . No Taurus GT , just beef up the AWD and and give it aintake andflowmasters and call it a day . Talk to people at the shows and import dealers and stop listening the rich people . Trim the fat and go back to basics . Put a V-10 in the Ford GT and sell it for $80,000.00 .
