    P0442 on an 08 (V8)

    Anyone had this code (P0442) pop on a Gen 2 ST with the V8 and have a specific cause? The description is: "Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak)" They list the following: - A loose or improperly affixed gas cap - A non-conforming gas cap (i.e. not...

    Cap vs. Tonneau MPG

    Anyone here ever compared the highway mileage of their ST with a cap installed vs. just having the tonneau (or even no tonneau)? Considering a cap for extra space in the back, just want to know what to expect. Also, how hard are the caps to remove? Thanks

    Battery Drain

    For the second time in a couple of weeks the battery has drawn down on my 08 ST. Battery checks good, charges fine. It is apparently intermittently drawing too much while sitting. I went through checking the amps while pulling every fuse. The one that made a difference is labeled BATT1...

    Gen 2 Jack

    I cut a tire this morning and had to use the supplied jack and lug wrench to change the tire. No big deal. However, when jacking it up, the the part of the wrench that slips over the rod to turn the screw on the jack stripped. It is VERY soft metal. So, had to borrow some vice grips to turn...

    ST users advice for future Ranger

    I was thinking about what I might want to get a few years down the road, and nothing really makes me want to consider getting rid of the ST. However, if the 2012 Ranger is in fact a true 4 door that might interest me. There are some things about he ST I would really not want to lose with...

    Sale of Vehicle Advice

    I have a vehicle I am going to sell. Bank still has the title. Would like to sell privately vice trade-in or to a dealer. What is the best method to conduct the transaction so the seller is comfortable purchasing even though I don't yet have the title? I've done this before, but can't recall...

    Obama Reading

    An interesting editorial on Obama. I find it unsettling how little we seem to know about a candidate for President of the United States. I don't know about the accuracy of this editorial, but that's the point, nobody else seems able to verify or dispute.

    Interesting Article

    This is an article I just ran across. I don't think the full benefits of Mr. Mulally and those he has brought to Ford will be apparent for a few more years, but they seem to be on the right path.

    Anyone purchased a Magnaflow exhaust for an 07-08 ST lately? I plan on getting the #16679 kit. Looking for the best prices and reputable service.

    07 Owners, thoughts

    For those who have owned an '07 ST for awhile, what are your impressions? Any problems so far? Would you buy again? Also, what kind of MPG are you seeing? Looking at V8 primarily, but interested in V6 too. Just looking for general thoughts on utility, reliability, design, etc. Never know...

    ST Competition

    Check out this concept displayed at SEMA. Colorado body (sort of) on an H3 frame and suspension. Can't verify, but read a quote that it is to be built in '08. Looks pretty cool to me. [Broken External Image]: Photo: Autocult.com

    Order Deposit

    Anyone have any experience with canceling an order with a dealer and getting a deposit back? Left a message with my POC at the dealer and I'll be talking with them tomorrow. I'm thinking they won't want to return the deposit. Here's the quick background; first order for an '07 ST placed in...

    07 Bad Day

    Well, after anxiously waiting 7 weeks, my ST came in... :D Unfortunately, it was missing one very key option. :angry: Yes, the Power Rear Window. Of all the options to goof up, that is probably one of the few true show stoppers. Would anyone actually order one without that? Now, I get to...

    Ordered '07 ST

    Just ordered an '07 ST (Alloy Limited, 4x4, V8, charcoal leather). One of the first mods I would like to do is the exhaust. Any recommendations? Just want it to have a nice V8 rumble, nothing too obnoxious. Magnaflow has one "coming soon" and they do have a video/audio clips of it. Sounds...

    Tonneau cover lock

    The rear lock on my Tonneau cover recently stopped working correctly. When I turn the key it pulls the cables a small amount, but not enough to release the latches. The key turns the lock fully, but the cables stop moving after a small amount of movement. I can still reach in and manually...

    Attn R - Alloy

    Man with the insight, how close is this to the new Alloy color supposedly coming for job 2? I tried to match it to the Alloy GT-500s but it's a tough color to match since it changes so much with the light. Better yet, you have any pictures of an Alloy ST? I think I'm between Blue and possibly...
