I just want to say THANKS for everyone who has helped me out with my ST. Unfortunately, I've traded it in for a 2005 Ford Focus wagon. The only reason for that was because of gas prices. We need to save as much as we can since our 3rd child is on it's way. It was a hard decision but I think...

STDave, thank you, thank you, thank you..... It is my circuit board. It is throwing out the F1 code. I didn't get my model number to match what Kenmore has but all of the other brand that has the F1 code says it is the circuit board. Again, thanks for the link to the website. Cheers.

Hi everyone again, Our kitchen range/oven just kind of quit. It is a Kenmore brand with gas cook top and electric oven. Does anyone knows if there's a forum regarding kitchen appliances? Or is there any expert here? Thanks.

No, it isn't my wire. I can't remember what gauge the wire is but it is thicker than what he recommended. The burnt mark is where the heater lead connects to the heater and it is always the right lead that is burning the board. He finally told me that there is a small hole in the sealeant and...

Thanks everyone for your replies. dfeck - I can't turn my down to 45, I think it will only go to 25 celcius (about 75 F). Even if it is turn down, I would still have to maintain the water with chemicals. Still a PITA. Costiejoe - Sorry about your breaker. At least it isn't the...

Hi everyone, Question for anyone who knows about hot tub. I've had my tub for about 2 years now and I find that during the winter months, we don't use it enough to keep it going. I plan to turn it off this winter, so the obvious question I have is if there is anything special I have to...

Thanks again for all your tips. I've tried Conrad's advise and so far, the smell is gone. Will have to keep checking to make sure it isn't just a few days thing. If it comes back, I'll try Lysol first and then Ozium. Never heard of Ozium before. Hopefully I can find it at my local...

Hello everyone, I have a 2003 ST that we bought used about 3 months ago. One day, while my wife was driving the truck and she turned the AC on, she said that the musty smell was pretty bad at the start, then about couple of minutes later, the smell is gone. I know that there is some kind...

Thanks everyone for your comments. I am going to try those Valvoline for the next oil change. Take care.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are a lot of differences between Valvoline Full Synthetic Oil vs the Mobil 1 Full Synthetic oil. Currently Wal-Mart in Calgary has Valvoline on sale for about CDN $23. That is about $15 cheaper then Mobil 1 when it is on sale. Has anyone tried both...

Man this is confusing:( So, if I'm understanding correctly, I can't use the GM dex cool to top it up right? That is only for GM?

Hello everyone. I was just wandering if the orange color coolant in my 2003 ST is the same as the GM long life coolant? I went to Wal-Mart to have a look at their coolant and all they have is the green coolant and the GM Dex-cool coolant. I thought that maybe there's a special coolant for...

Thanks everyone again for your great knowledge. I thought so that a piece of something should go in there (for question 2). I will see how much the dealer want for those shield. At least I know now that I'm not the only one without the shield. I do have a '03. Thanks nobleman, I will...

Hello everyone, I know there are a lot of experts here and I was wondering if you guys/gals can give me some advice on how to fix this. I live in Calgary so it gets pretty cold in the winter so keep in mind that it might crack in the cold when I open the tonneau cover. As you can see, the...

Costiejoe - my tank is about 1/2 full at the moment. I did take that into consideration. Hal - I like the idea of swapping the leaf springs side to side. If I do take the leaf springs out, do I need alingment or anything of that nature? Also, do you know what torque specification for all...

Hi everyone, Sorry to bring this up again. I got the front end of my 2003 ST XLT adjusted so it is level now, but my back end is still 1/2 off on one side (passenger side). What gives? I thought that the torsion bolt will level both front and back? I got under the truck to measure the...

Hi everyone, Now that I know that you can lower/raise the front end of your ST, what about the back end? I'm not talking about raising or lowering about 2". Mine left rear is about 1/2" higher than the right due to "strees". I want to make them even or close. Anything I can do myself to...

Nick, sorry. Traded it already. ST - thanks for that tip. Why didn't I think of that?!?!?! I will try to go the junk yard for another rim though. I didn't know that those spare tire are on black steel rim. I thought for sure that Ford would put it on mag rim. Oh well. Thanks...

Got my truck back today and they replace the pinion seal under warranty. Thank god for that warranty. Thanks everyone for pointing it out to me that it was the pinion seal. I'm learning something new everyday. Hopefully, it won't leak again in the future.

Well, I got it back from the dealership and they adjusted the torsion bars and not it is level with the naked eyes. It is under warranty so it didn't cost me anything. Thank god for the warranty. Anyways, thanks again everyone for letting me know about the torsion bars and it can be...
