    Odometer stuck

    Trip meter is still working. I'll try resetting again, but with another $600+ repair bill, not sure if I'm able to keep her any longer :sad: Transmission is going, too. Upper ball joint on driver's side is bad ($400) and some BS about a leak in the exhaust ($?) from safety inspector last...

    Odometer stuck

    The odometer on my truck is stuck at 214,xxx. Not sure what I can do to fix it. I haven't been behind the dash before, not sure what to look for. Any suggestions?

    Grey and black bumper cladding, how to get wax off?

    Back when this forum first started, peanut butter was one of the remedies.

    What does this do?

    Isn't there a safety recall on cruise controls for our vehicles?

    Black stuff leaking from steering wheel

    Mine was doing that a long time ago. The dealer I got it from wouldn't honor the TSB.

    Max weight on the tailgate

    The tailgate weight restriction is for weight on the tailgate while driving. Loading a safe like you are describing is perfectly fine. And moving it like that isn't going to be a problem, either.

    Yes, John, they are supposed to blink. Mines been doing that since I got it in April 2001.

    Problems with driver side door

    I'm trying to get a feel for what may be the problem before I open up the inside of the door. I'm not supposed to work on my vehicle in the apartment complex parking lot. And that inside seal looks like it will need replacing, at least on my ST, after I peel it off. So knowing what to look...

    Problems with driver side door

    I have a 2001 ST (Job 2) and I've been having issues with my driver side door. It won't automatically lock the door when I start driving, using the fob the knob won't drop, and the door doesn't quite close completely unless I push it from a specific part of the door. A few years ago, I heard...

    Engine shit on my life pulled it today

    Just FYI, I broke my engine when I ignored that rattle at 190,000. Timing chains should be replaced based on chain manufacturer's mileage. Apparently, Ford's is 100,000. The newer one was supposed to be good for another 100,000, but apparently mine broke before hitting that mark.

    6 stupidly simple steps to save billions of gallons of gas

    Number 6 should be "Ban Tractor-Trailers during Rush Hour." Every stinking day, I hear of at least 2 accidents involving big trucks, some times more than that! Want to save money on fuel? Don't drive through the DC area during rush hour. Jim

    Tail Gate Issue

    Hi all, It's been a while since I posted here, but I seem to have a problem with my ST's tail gate. I have an 01 Job 2 ST I bought new in 2001. The tail gate will NOT open. I pull on the handle, I hear some kind of click, but it won't open. Short of taking it to a dealer or mechanic, is...
