    Poll w/ comments: Are you running synthetic oil throughout?

    I've been running Syntec partial blend since the day my 03 was born, but was worried about full synthetics and pushing the engine. Can someone tell me if this is just rumor mill or can you run full synthetic on a hard-charging truck. Pros/Cons anyone?

    Military Rules for the Non-Military Personnel

    I am also former USN 10 years, fixed planes, rode in quite a few and have done 2 tours in the middle east. I would like to petition to have something else on the original list. If anyone can help me out in how to word it that would be great.. When you see a group of civilians protesting...

    don't like 07

    I love my 03, but can I just have the rear bumper and tailgate from the 07? Wonder if it would fit. It's wider though huh? And maybe I could take a torch to the bedliner and make that cool little cubby hole I've been trying to get in the bed. If I could mix and match (hint to all aftermarket...

    Any storage ideas yet??

    I was just wondering if anyone had come up with a storage idea for under the seats yet? Other than the little bins from wally world. I was thinking of building some kind of box that would roll out from underneath. Or raising the seats a couple inches. Or if anyone has found a decent tool box...

    Removed roof rails, excessive wind noise?

    Button head screws, a piece of cardboard with a perfect circle and 4 coats of paint. I don't have any noise. I guess the button heads might annoy people but you don't even notice it on mine unless you're focused on it. I like my truck neked. :rolleyes:

    Locking Gas Door Project?

    #1 Coming from a person who has had sugar in their gas tank, I was astounded that my 03 St did not come with this feature. So I installed the locking gas cap. #2 When they ran a smog check on my truck, I was once again astounded that the smog guys had just "pulled" the locking gas cap off...

    Lot's of life left

    I just changed the front brakes for squealing, 40% left at 20K 2003. 2 weeks later, my back started squealing. what's up with the squealing because I'm sure there's plenty of pad left! Ford said and I quote" we don't cover squealing, but we'll change your brake pads for $89.95 if it really...

    Problems to expect after warranty

    The swaying left to right on the ST is extremely common. If it's still under warranty you can have the sway bars replaced like I did at 3,000 miles. too loose. Or you can do what many of the website fans have done and upgrade to the EE SwayBar.

    bad superlift?

    Well, took it back and boy is she beau...ti....ful. Found out the problem is on the superlift rear kit. When I specified that I wanted it level, they lowered the front 1.5" to match the rear because the superlift rear springs esentially match stock. The book states they will fit 33's but we...

    Dual Exhaust

    We have a 02 screw, 5.4 v8 with a 3 chamber flowmaster dual rear exit. sounds awesome. We don't set off any alarms either. Can't tell if the gas mileage really changed because it seemed as if the K/N cold air intake made it better and the exhaust equal'd it out or vice versa. Did them about a...

    bad superlift?

    Not too long ago I had the 4" superlift installed at 4wheel parts. I am so not happy with it. #1 it only brought the front up 2-1/2 MAYBE inches. #2 I then asked them to level the truck, to the same angle as stock. A few weeks later, after parking next to a fellow ST realized they were the...

    California Commercial registration?????

    I've had my ST since 2003, just got a ticket for incorrect plates the other day here in "i-hate-SanDIego". Went to DMV waited 3 hours for them to tell me I'm screwed and I have to do all the leg work to fix it. I had it weighed, well since I have considerably upgraded and lifted, I am...
