Does anyone have a customer service number for Ford. I purchased an extended warranty through Spartan Lincoln Mercury (a site sponsor) and cancelled it at 37K miles when I traded in my Sport Trac. For the past two months I've been back and forth with them and they refuse to send me the...

Well I traded in the Sport Trac for an '06 Escape. Because of how much driving I do I needed the better fuel economy. Thank you everyone for the great advice I've gotten from this site over the past two years. If anyone can use them I have a new Napa Gold air filter and oil filter that...

Does any have an available PIN sponsorship for the X-plan? My wife and I are looking into getting an '06 Escape.

My brother has some 15x8 after-market rims with 31x10.5 R15 tires that used to be on his '92 Ranger. He's offered them to me for my 4x2 ST which currently has the 255/70R16 rim/tire combo. Do any of the tire gurus out there know if these will fit and whether the bold pattern from a '92 Ranger...

Does anyone now an easy way to get the 12V lighter plug to the left of the stereo to turn off when you turn the ST off. Currently when the engine is off it stays powered. Normally I would prefer this but I am using for a bluetooth handsfree that I would prefer to turn off when the car was...

The 2nd to 3rd gear shifting problem got really bad this morning but this time I also got a flashing "O/D Off" light. Took it to Kemp Ford in Thousand Oaks, CA and they found that it had some bad solenoids which they replaced. These guys rock! Just two weeks ago I took the ST to Simi...

Just got off the line with Ford service guy and they said they ran the diagnostic tests on my '04 ST and that everything tests fine (there's nothing to fix). I discussed the common issues with the 5R55E tranny like blown seperator plates in the valve body, bad solenoids or possibly bad valve...

So here we go I dropped the ST of this morning at the dealership for the infamous 2-3 transmission flare. It started at 34K and is the same problem that my '98 Ranger developed at 95K. It's also the reason I traded in the Ranger because no one seemed to be able to figure out how to fix it...

I called the local dealer and they want $185 for a transmission full fluid flush (doesn't include dropping the pan and changing the filter). Is it just me or does that seem pretty high for a fluid flush. I asked about the filter and the service guy said it doesn't need to be replaced.

Opened the garage door this morning and looked out my back window and all was clear. Started to back out then . . . BAM! Apparently the roll up door only went 3/4 of the way and while it looked clear there wasn't enough clearance and roof line of the Trac took out the 1st panel of the roll up...

I had a new experience last night with my '04 ST. I had about a 1/4 tank of gas and went to a Shell to get gas. It took 15.5 gallons of gas but while it was fueling I could smell really strong gas vapors coming from the nozzle. I actually had to stand about six feet away while fueling because...

Some one might have already mentioned this but it looks like Ford finally put some '07 Sport Trac info on their website. Unfortunately there's not much content and nothing really new compared to what people on this site already know.

Can anyone recommend a good website for F-150 information that's like this site for the ST?

Does $170 seem reasonable for changing the front brakes on a 2003 Corolla? That's the dealer's price for this service.

My wife cracked me up this morning with a comment she made. It made me laugh so much I thought I'd share it. There were very strong wind gusts in So Cal this morning. Well three days a week I drop our 7 month off at either of our parents home for baby sitting. This morning as I was leaving...

Does anyone have a spare invite for a GMail account?

Since the next ST is an '07 what will they do for '06. Will they just keep selling the '05 models into '06? Or will there just be no ST available in '06 until the release of the '07 in the Fall of '06?

Maybe "Pimp My Ride" or "Overhauled" should do an Afghan edition. [Broken External Image]:

How often do you change your air filter? I was waiting until 30K (base on service manual that came with my ST) but I just checked it and at 25K miles it was extremely dirty. It looked it probably should have been changed 5K-7K miles ago.

Looking for help from suspension / tire gurus. I recently starting hearing a thumping noise when driving at low speeds. As I speed up the thumping speeds up so it changes in relation to speed until I'm going fast enough and no longer hear it. I checked the tires and found that the inner edge...
