Welcome to the forum.

Check out this article about the Ford factory plugs being a leak issue. https://www.ecogard.com/resources/articles/service-professionals-should-be-wary-fords-plastic-oil-pans-drain-plugs/

It is very possible the UPR plug could fix the problem since it has multiple o-rings verses the single one from the factory design. My UPR has never leaked. If you decide to go the UPR route, do a thorough inspection of that area for any cracks before installing.

Is that an aftermarket drain plug? The Ford ones are yellow and that one looks to be orange/redesh.

If this is the only thing you are doing, No. Aesthetics only. I have it installed on my ST just for the looks and the hope that it is beneficial after all of the other performance mods that I put on.

Yikes. Sorry about the truck. There is nothing wrong with the stock ST. Enjoy.

An exhaust system of your choosing, lowering springs and tune a few thousand. There is a lot of information on this forum that can help you pick the items you prefer.

Congrats on your great gift and welcome to the forum. Since you don't have a car note, this frees up some cash for upgrades.

They are wanting to buy the Street Pack 21" wheels 2 reasons. One, they have a non-ST model and want to blacked out look. Two, they have the silver rims from the regular ST.

Welcome Greg.

Welcome to the forum. You might be suffering from the heavy right foot syndrome. It happens to me every time my wife isn't in the ST with me.

Just have an open conversation with the shop manager explaining that pulling issue is a concern, and that you want to make sure that they have looked at all of the suspension/driveline components and document that on the repair ticket. That way you have something to fall back on if the problem...

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum.. On mods, it depends on what direction you wan to head in. Performance, looks?

If you are still on the factory wheels with the same size tires, get the alignment checked. Sounds like the rear toe is out. They will be able to look at the steering/suspension parts at that time too. That is not normal on factory wheels and tires.

That looks good! Adding these brakes is my next thing to do once my wife decides what she want to do with the ST. Do want to dump any more money into it if she wants to trade it on something else.

I had my drivers door open the whole time doing mine and didn't have any issues.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum.

It really isn't hard to do the intercooler yourself with the right tools, just time consuming. The only thing you might need help with is removing and replacing the front bumper cover. Just set a day aside (will not need a whole day) with a extra set of hands for a the bumper cover and tackle...

I don't know about you, but any chance I get to not crawl under the car the better. I'm not getting any younger or flexible..lol Plus that damn felt cover is a pain in the ass.

I do believe that Ford recommends changing out the plastic plug with each oil change. So you would have a new O-ring that is not worn out. Kinda like making sure you have a new O-ring for the oil filter change.
