    Pirellis too soft/expensive- new Adrenalin tires?

    Just turned 21K on my '08 Adrenalin and the Pirelli Scorpions are worn out. Anyone replace them with a less expensive tire, like Nexen or Hankook? Pirellis are $270 each- wondering if they are worth it.

    Ramp for offloading

    I just bought a 30 gallon gas caddy so I can save $1.00 a gallon on boat fuel, now I realize I have to get it down from the truck bed to wheel it to the dock, and it will weigh 200 plus! Ramp recommendations?

    I lost the USB when I went to AVIC Z1...

    My '08 ST had the factory 6 disc w/sync, but I switched it out and had the Pioneeer AVIC Z1 from my last F150 installed. No regrets since I now have NAV, camera, DVD and Bluetooth, but I lost the console USB port function. Any way to get it back or adapt it to my AVIC?

    Cell phone mount for '08- advice from Road Warriors....

    Now that I'm a bandwagon jumper with a smartphone(Samsung Captivate) and Bluetooth, which phone mount should I use in the '08 Adrenalin? I see cheap Ebay holders that mount on the A/C vents and holders that suction cup to the windshield, but I'm sure some of you road warriors have figured out...

    Finally got a smart phone...

    I had resisted the Iphone craze that has gotten my wife and all my friends, mainly because I didn't want to pay the $200 for phone and $30/month for data plan and the Apple cult freaks me out a bit. My last Razr V3 got a fatal stuck key on Black Friday, I saw a free upgrade deal at Radio Shack...

    A/C hiss on acceleration- '08 Adrenalin V8

    I have noticed a strange phenomenon on my ST- when the A/C is blowing hard and I step on the accelerator, a hissing noise in the interior begins and is linked to the accelerator- it gets louder if I step down and goes away when I ease off. The hiss seems to come from the front passenger...

    This oil spill may be the end for us....

    The oil is now about 150 miles from Key West and they have closed fishing in the Dry Tortugas. If it hits us and inundates the reef and beaches, its only a matter of time before we will face almost certain economic ruin. Our economy is heavily dependent on tourism and no one will come to a dead...

    Might you be a CAR SALESMAN, Psycareyo?

    I'm posting this because Psycareyo feels that anyone would do as he did, which is to renege on his offer to sell me his Xcal for $250.00. Here is our email exchange, last one first. Opinions? (My apologies to the ethical car salespeople out there) From: "Paul Maurer, MD"...

    SOLD! For $7600

    Sold my '05 on Ebay to a guy from West Florida- got the cashier's check today. I was expecting a bit more, but I think the positive accident history and the mileage were factors. Truck looks new so he will be happy, and consdering I paid $8000 two years ago, I'm OK.:haveabeer:

    AVIC Z1- can I use steering wheel controls?

    My 08 STA has the factory 6 disc w/ steering wheel controls- one of the best upgrades from the Gen 1 and I like it. I would like to install my Pioneer AVIC Z1 w/Nav and back-up camera, but don't want to lose the steering wheel controls. Can it be done?

    Brake update- my '05

    To recap- I had the weird, soft brake pedal every 5 or 6 stops. All pads OK- I guessed master cylinder, dealer did diagnostics and arrived at same conclusion- dealer wanted $825 to fix. I had it done at local independent- $75 for rebuilt cylinder, $260 labor, system bled, etc. Result-NO CHANGE...

    Where is the rear vent window control?

    2008 Adrenalin- can't find it or owner's manual. First drive yesterday picking up my boat in Ft. Lauderdale- ran like a beast, caught myself doing 70 on a bridge. Got home and pulled boat w/the '05 for a bit- glad I took the new one....:supercool:

    Brake problem- still squishy

    I am trying to correct a problem my '05 has developed- about 20% of the time, my brake pedal will suddenly fail during a stop and travel to the floor as I press it, like it suddenly loses pressure in the system. The truck will still stop, but the pedal makes a strange sound and the pedal travels...

    $4000 for paint job- fair?

    I'm considering changing the color of my ST to yellow. I plan on keeping it a long time and the work would be done by a local shop that has done nice work for me in the past. Any loss in resale value doesn't really concern me. The owner tells me that it will be hard to tell it was ever another...
