Called AutoNation... That didn't go well. The first time I spoke with someone & when she put me on hold she put me through to someones voicemail that was too full to take any messages instead *click* redial... Second call.. Service drone wants us to drop the ST off for three days.... Asked...

There was another guy in the service dept listing a litany of electrical issues. I looked out the window expecting to see another ST, but he was driving a new Expedition. He was on first name terms with the service dept guys..

Ford dealer told me "your modem is deactivated" (they also told me it's had the trans out for a gasket replacement in the bellhousing at some point... which AutoNation flat out lied about) Ford Connect told me "take it to the dealer & tell them SM50251, that will wake it up"

First longish trip caused pain. It's been fine since. I guess my ass adapted

Gave it another try today. It tells me it can't find the modem when I try to turn on the hotspot... (at the same time it's using wifi to check for updates) It has Sync 3 (V3.4) & 21194 I should have stuck with my F350 LB/CC Dually with the 460CJ under the hood.

We figured out they all have the ground strap from the engine to the strut tower. It's just that there are three locations on the tower it can bolt to & it could be mounted to any one of them. With that said, I'd probably remove it at the tower end & clean the paint off the tower to ensure a...

Guy I know has an Audi. I can always tell when he's taken it in for an oil change because of the oil on the driveway for a week. This also happened with his previous 4 or 5 vehicles. No idea where he takes them, I don't want to ask in case he asks me for help & I just KNOW it will result in...

tbh, I'm still not sure what I did that stopped it.

Confused myself... Managed to bump *something* with my hand while turning & activated the rear wiper. Took 3 or 4 attempts to figure out how to turn it off while messing with the right stalk.

Investigated the fuel funnel issue. There's something just inside the flap doodad that prevents a trans funnel going in... but whatever it is doesn't restrict the gun at the gas station... Odd, they're about the same diameter, but a plastic trans funnel only goes in about an inch. Poked it with...

About had a coronary at Costco, $93 for 16gal of gas. The place was busy at 6am....

Had a look today. It has a cable that attaches at the same place on the engine & the tower end is same location as Dale's red one. I'm thinking it's down to who installed the cable at the factory as there are three different locations it could be bolted to on the strut tower that are visible in...

No sunroof to upset the airflow. I found it to be fairly quiet, we were having a normal conversation. Maybe this is a Wednesday ST. It was certainly better than the Camaro at the same speed.

Discovered it's as stable at 130mph as it is at 65mph... Would have been a bit faster, but I was coming up behind a Honda Fit that looked like it was parked & oncoming traffic didn't give me the space/timing to blow his doors off with a pass without slowing down. It was still accelerating when I...

I'm going to get a second one. If you lift one end as shown in the pic above, it will raise the other end enough to get the pin in a lower hole & then you can get that wheel 4in or more off the ground with a second jack..

With the pin in the 4th or 5th hole:

Might just have to make one from some #00 aircraft wire I have.. & put fire sleeve on it to confuse anyone who looks under the hood :)

ah ha! Roomie has Waze on her phone which is synced with the ST.

where on the engine does the other end attach?

Someone just posted a pic on FB of their '22 they picked up today & it shows what appears to be a fairly stout ground cable.. which raises more questions than it answered..
