RoadRunner's news server was upgraded, they recommend you unsubscribe
and resubscribe to fix things.

For some time, I have thought that the reduced activity in this group
is due to the later models having fewer problems to talk about. So
far, this has been true of my 05 model. When my '92 and my '99 were
new, this group was full of discussion about problems we all were
having with them. This does not seem to be the case now as most of
the problems we talk about are things like the radio display, IAC
valve, etc. on the older models. Jim Warman, you see this from the
service technician point of view, do you agree?

Traffic is declining in most all of Usenet. It's going the way of
BBS's.

Which is a shame. Using a decent news reader is about 10000000% more
convenient for following many different interest groups, then
subscribing to and having to log into, numerous private forums.

I agree. Usenet works for me.

That's a tough call for me to make, 'Shoe.... I'm not seeing that many
current Explorers in the shop in this last while but I think some of our
Explorer crowd has gone bigger (Expedition - SuperCrew) or sideways
(Freestyle). I can say that there doesnt appear to be much in the way of
"pattern" failures.

But even when I had my old '92 all I ever had to do was the lower intake
gasket. The transfer case shifter nearly let me down once but I got into the
habit of "exercising" it once a month.

Aside from some teething probems on most early production vehicles, todays
vehicles seem to be more reliable, more responsive and better quality all
around.
