Thanks for the hit! The only problem with not using intelligent is I rely on the stop/go feature which I understand only happens in the intelligent mode? I don't mind it misreading signs but it's just a little frustrating when it settles into the speed you set it at and then changes its mind...

Good find on the struts! Thanks for posting!

Hi All, I've read a few stories of ST owners and their ICC misreading 35mph signs for 85mph and I've experienced the same. What I'm not understanding is when I set a speed and moments later, the ICC changes to a higher rate of speed for no apparent reason, even if the speed limit hadn't changed...

Stock ST is already in the 13s. Also bear in mind how far 30hp is going to get you. That's the extent of an FP tune.

Are you speaking of the AUTO STOP that occurs when you come to a stop at a traffic light and such?

I like all of the above! Is the hitch cover easily removable if you need to tow?

Don't know what was expected here but the Hawk has over 700hp stock, the ST 400. Do the math. It sounded like the ST had some work but I don't know of any that would come close without a full upgrade with turbos, injectors, fuel pump, intake, exhaust, intercooler etc. Even then, has anyone even...

Only used service mode for the rear brakes. Did the front without with no problems or warnings. Someone else would have to chime in as far as clearing your warnings. Good luck!

Update: I have successfully completed the rear brake job, thanks to all who chimed in! Putting the ST into brake service mode allowed me to retract the caliper pistons. I had to manually compress them but did it by hand in opposed to using mechanical pad spreaders. The pistons had arrows on them...

Hi All, Does the sound system in the ST default to the Sirius radio or is there a setting for this? I mainly listen to music on a flash drive but when I turn the vehicle on, it seems to always revert to Sirius at a higher volume. Thanks for your thoughts!

Thanks for the update Unbroken! Yesterday, I put it all back together until I could get more info. Everything seemed to be in working order. I used the old pads until I could learn how to correctly retract the pistons. I did learn how to put it in brake service mode last night. Heading into it...

It's all good! I tried an Auto Zone and they didn't have anything that intricate. Just your mainstream pusher styles, not screwers. Now that I have the info you gave me, I believe I can make do.

My last vehicle was a 2012 Escape Limited and it had drums in the rear. That seemed counterproductive considering the 2005 Escape I had before that had disc. Neither were integrated systems.

I put silicone paste all around the rubber boot. I was unaware of the screwing process. I'm going to retry tomorrow with the ST in service mode and screw the pistons in. I looked at the vid in your link. Apparently, it was for a 2019 and I couldn't get it back out of service mode. Found a vid...

Man, that's the first I've heard of that! Been changing brakes on all of my vehicles as far back as I can remember and they all had compressible pistons or shoes in the back. How far off was I? lol Thanks for the insight and I'll carry on with that technique tomorrow!

Hi All, Was replacing brakes on both axles. Did the front axle yesterday with no problem. Today, thinking the back would be easier, (and it should've been) I ran into a problem. I can't compress the caliper piston so it would fit over the new pads. I made sure the brake fluid reservoir cap...

Yup! :)

Same here.

I think Ford's version of a cam toy/transformers is in order. lol It doesn't bother me at all, just wondered if it was normal for this vehicle. BTW, don't let your mom see what you do with a vehicle you just turned on with your presence! :D

Yes, I thought about the fuel pump but didn't think I'd hear it more than once for the startup process. I'm used to hearing it in the fuel tank but maybe it's located further up front on the ST? That's where I'm hearing the sound. It sounds more mechanical though like an apparatus is moving...
