Has anyone had Ford replace these and have they held up or should I consider a different brand? Bilstein, Monroe, BC/Lethal Performance etc come to mind.

Is it just me or does everyone's air recirculation turn off after 5 minutes? Mine is methodical. When I turn it on, it turns off in exactly 5 minutes. What's the point of having that button if it doesn't work? Or maybe it's something to adjust in the settings?

Hey All, Just ran into a series of ST computer problems yesterday. First off, when I made a request for a contact on my phone, it got stuck on the "loading contacts". At that point in the trip, they should already have been loaded. I had to make the call from my phone. The display showed the...

Hi All, I'm just a tad over 70k miles. Saw a good deal on Mobil1 5W 30 but it's the high mileage variety. I'm assuming I qualify for that? Has anyone had any adverse effects with this mix?

Hi All, Is there a recommendation for a digital gauge that is possibly OBD ported? Not looking to spend a whole lot but want something accurate. Thanks!

Hi All, Have any of you replaced this? Mine is leaking. I'd do it myself but again, I have neither the place or lift. Freakin' stealership wants north of $800 to replace. I just bought one for less than $130. They want $305! So Ford and another place I searched want $500 labor. I just saw a guy...

Hi All, Is this such a big deal? From what I've gathered, just drive the vehicle until the fluid gets to checking temp, put it on a lift, remove the dipstick bolt and check. I couldn't find an auto shop that even wants to attempt doing this so I called Ford and they want $100 just to check...

Is the stock CAI that restrictive? I was looking at the S&B but needed to justify the cost/advantage. At this point, visually the DPs are the only mod giveaway. Maybe the OEM's not so much restrictive in stock form but with the mods I have made, maybe a good idea? Thanks for your thoughts...

Hi All, If someone can completely convince me that the strut brace on this ST is merely for looks and has no contributing stabilization, I'm going to remove it. It's just a major hindrance whenever I need to perform any engine work. From what I've read here on the forum, even a stiffer...

Hi All, It appears my starter has given up and I have to get towed to a repair shop. Are there any specifics the tow person should know before moving this ST? Do they have to drop the drive shaft or any other mechanical disengagements? How do you put it in neutral without the engine started?

Hi All, Checking in to see if anybody knows of any no-start issues with the ST. Everything lights up, battery shows 12.3v. Still tried to jump it but nothing. All I can think of is a dead starter but other than that, looking for your thoughts on anything I might have missed. No previous problems...

I know this has been out for a while but had anyone seen this? Valvetronic mufflers that open and close by remote. You can even program your garage door opener buttons to control it. Go from docile to aggressive sound at the press of a button...

Hi All, Just a quick question: Why is it that when I turn my sound system off, the next time I start the vehicle up, the radio's blasting? In the first place, I rarely listen to the radio and almost always have a music compilation USB flash drive jamming the songs I like. Up until recently, the...

They finally arrived but having a hard time getting a shop to install them. A muffler shop actually told me it was a p-i-t-a to do and involved heating the pipes to remove the old ones and said to return the Lethals and he would fashion in his own flex joints, keeping the original pipes and...

Hi All, What does it mean when you unlock your door, start the ST and then get a popup saying "key not detected"? How can it not detect the key after I just unlocked the door and started the engine? lol

Hi All, Just trying to get a feel for installation pricing, time and technique. The one performance shop I contacted told me they would have to drop the subframe and engine to get to the turbos. Quoted a price just south of $2800. I already had an ST owner tell me he paid only $500 for his...

It has occurred a few times that when I put the passenger side window up, it would automatically go back down about half way. Is this an anomaly or a feature?

Ok, I was going for the CVF DPs, catted, 304SS and mandrel bent. The SPD DPs show pretty much the same specs but incorporate the flex pipes and extensions to the crossover section. The DPs is all I need and the CVFs are priced at $800 cheaper. Although the SPDs claim to subdue the vibration that...

Hi All, CR P Stage 5 or Pure Turbo 650? HP capabilities, installation, spool-up etc. CR P is plug and play using the same housing. Not sure about Pure.

Hi All, I heard it mentioned that an exhaust shop is probably the best place to get down pipes installed. Would that also be the best time to get turbos installed or should I leave that to a performance shop? I figured the turbos are in the same vicinity so it may save installation expenses...
