She had a bad coolant leak so I got her for dirt cheap, replaced the thermostat housing, thermostat, cooling sensor and radiator cap for about $50, threw a new battery and terminals in and she's running like new again. Haven't decided what to do with her. Might 5.0 swap her in the future, or just flip it if I don't end up driving it. She sure looks good parked out front though

Are all your vehicles red?

Nope. The 2013 Edge is in the garage and it is grayish brown. But I generally prefer red, obviously lol.

Better red than dead.

I prefer a bright red on cars and trucks. Had a 75 Toyota pickup that was red, a 65 Comet Caliente that was red (appropriately so, as caliente is Spanish for hot) the 01 Ram 3500 is garnet pearlcoat (a magenta color) and my race car is red.

My Ford 8N is red and grey.

My F150 is a shade of red too.

Red is right.

Red vehicles get ticketed & stolen more than most other colors - I like mine a dirty shade of black or blue.

I don't know about the stolen part, but I can attest to the ticketed part. When I was in my 20's I collected lots of tickets, all for speeding, a few for street racing.

Most in red cars.

I've never paid for tail - and I pull all I want regardless of what my vehicle pulls.

Default Need wiring info

I own a 1991 F150. It did not come wired for rear speakers. I am in the middle of restoring it and would like to know how to power and ground the new rear speakers. How do I go about getting them playing? I just need to know how to wire them up!! The factory wire harness did not come equipped to wire four speakers. Thank you in advance for any help!
