Thanks Vic! I did think it could be the resistor.

So, this is for a 2003 ford focus. Most of the time the a/c blows fine, it has stopped a few times but not often at all. However, whenever I put the speed on full it will go faster then slow down and then eventually stop. I wait and then restart the speed at a slower level and it works fine...

Hey guys I have a pretty good condition, tan color, center console. This is a base model console. It doesn't have the folding arm rest or the bag insert but the cup holder section as well as main unit that the bag would rest in. Just trying to get this out of the garage. $5 plus shipping.

I have a brand new condenser core that came with a radiator I bought. I have no need for the core. It appears to be very similar to the stock core but it is taking up space in my garage. Basically I just want to get ride of it so I'm saying $10 plus shipping. If anyone wants it pls let me know.

Yep I put too much on then. I used a 50 50 but didn't add any distilled h2o.

Thanks for the comment! I used some thread sealer tape, had to do it twice, and the leak stopped. However, I have noticed two things with the new system. One: the engine sounds louder, as in the fan and such. Two: the engine took longer to warm up (I'm guess the new coolant) and when it did...

Alright so I tried to replace the radiator on my dads 2007 2x4 yesterday. I have everything in place but when I started to refill both the transcooler lines are leaking right where the fitting threads into the radiator. I know that the screws are tight but is there anything I need to do to re...

The solution to my problem was the PS pump. The funny thing was that I replaced the faulty harmonic balance and now my ST feels so slow. The inner ring was acting like a underdrive system hahaha

Harmonic balancer FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is why I have two sets of ribs on my main crank shaft. Sad face sad face sad vace :cry:

Well today I know that it is not the tension pulley, belt, or the PS pulley because I have replaced them all and sadly the noise is still there. I even bought a poly-rib belt that was .5 inch smaller and the noise was worse. However, what I did learn is that when I took off the PS pulley and...

BTW the idler was tight, did not wobble and turned very smoothly.

alright so I went out this morning to check the belt and the pulleys. None of the pulleys squeaked, the tension pulley wasn't hard to move or anything and you could definitely hear it turn as if the inside bearings were dry. I actually measured the PE pulley in and out play and yes I was...

I will do as all suggested. The thing that gets me is when the I turn the wheel the chirping would increase, hence my though to check the ps pulley.

Okay so thanks for all the help with the steering vibration. I think i got it but haven't been able to do a decent road test yet, and yes I think it was just a bad well balance issue. Of course the joys of ownership keep coming with this ST. I now have a chirping noise coming from the...

I will get the tires looked at again. Wasn't able to get them rebalanced...didn't have the patients to wait. You know I have heard of bad luck with general tires getting uneven but I have never had that problem and this is my second set.
