Please excuse my ignorance, as I am not necessarily a "car guy" when it comes to maintenance, parts, components, etc... I AM trying though :) 2018 Adrenalin, 4.6l v8, 2wd (110K miles), original owner Before I'm told to do a search, please be assured that I have searched all through the forum...

I was wondering if anyone on the site has advise for me, regarding my wheel bearings. I am up for my 3rd replacement (yes, both front sides have failed 3 times on me now), with less than 80k miles on the truck! The first 2 replacements were diagnosed by the dealer and covered under my...

Three years ago I replaced my headlight bulbs with Sylvania SilverStar Ultras and love them! Unfortunately, I still have yet to find the Ultras for my STA fog lights (H16/5202). After hearing about the ZXE bulbs, combined with the absence of a 5202 in Ultra, I decided to contact Sylvania ...

While visiting my buddy's shop this past weekend, we were discussing the lack of aftermarket accessories available for the STA, mainly grill insert replacement options. (I believe a member or two on this site have modified an existing kit to fit the STA. However, I believe the kit only...

Well I've scoured the site for the best replacement advice and the major conclusions I've come to are . . . Rotors: Although I'd prefer the look of the dimpled/dimpled and slotted, I am a hard braker, but rarely tow. I've read that the drilled tend to crack and slotted chew up the pads...

Hey Aaron, Regarding your shifter swap project . . . . Overall, it doesn't sound like the project is all too difficult, but I would like any other pointers you might have to offer . . . specifically, which "mechanism" is needed? It sounds as though the nylon center shaft as well as the...

Hey all, a little advise if you don't mind . . . I FINALLY wore out my factory installed 255/50R-20 Pirelli Scorpion STR tires . . . Those tires were a nightmare from the beginning (road noise, bad vibrations, etc.). Last April, I replaced them with a little wider and better rated tire...

I currently have two issues, with my 08 STA. I am positive that bulletins exist for both, but I can't recall the numbers and I couldn't find any results from searching the site I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can help provide the TSB numbers for the following symptoms or point me in the...

Has anyone heard from Torrie, with Fastparts/Unleashed, lately? I've tried contacting him via email, regarding his tune revisions, and haven't heard a peep in a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd ask around. Torrie has generally promptly replied to my previous emails, so there's a chance he's...

I posted this a couple of summers ago & was curious if any progress has been made for remedying this issue . . . The best way I can describe the symptoms is a roaring of the fan (similar to the fan-roar sound a box truck makes) upon acceleration & a noticeable lack of power. If I remember...

After 2 years of owning my 2008 STA, I just recently started experiencing an odd issue . . . While driving over speed humps, backing out of a driveway or just driving through a little rough terrain, my interior lights come on momentarily & immediately turn off . . . Generally it happens 2 or...

I recently misplaced my Gorilla Wheel Lock Key and unfortunately I never got around to ordering a replacement key. A buddy of mine has the tools to remove the lugs, and I plan to replace the set. Does anyone know exactly which part number and/or lug specs I need for my 2008 ST? Second...

A buddy of mine sent this to me . . . . both the owner and another member of the SVT site own an Adrenalin, but I don't believe they're on Mysporttrac. It looks like it's still in progress and he'll hopefully have some numbers up soon. I'd also like to know what it costs him when it's all...

I know this has been a topic in previous threads, but I wanted to get some more input before I make a mistake . . . . 1) What is the best way to remove the OEM badges & glue residue without harming the paint? Should I do the hair dryer/fishing line/goo-gone method? 2) What is the best...

FYI, going on right now . . . Live blog coverage

Just in case you couldn't make it, engadget is posting as they hear/see it:

Alright, I got my truck back from Ford and they couldn't find anything wrong with the tensioner and my belt is still in good shape . . . . I have noticed that the symptoms only occur when I have Torrie's tunes loaded, but I've had the new TCM tunes for about a month and the chirping only...

At WOT & higher RPM, my original OEM belts are starting to squeal/chirp on me just before it shifts. My truck is about a year and a half old. Is it typical that the OEM belt would need replacement after 24,000 miles? Any advice for replacement options on my Gen2, V8? Is there a product...

You all may or may not have seen these in other posts, but I finally went ahead and ordered them. I figured why not, Ive never owned a model of my vehicle. Matchbox-sized models of my truck . . . or at least the SVT concept: [Broken External Image]: [Broken External Image]: [Broken...

I'm about to hit 20K and it's time for another oil change. I was going to switch to full synthetic last time, but it slipped my mind at the time. This time around, I've got a case of Royal Purple in my truck, but I thought I'd ask you all for advise on which filter to go with. Should I...
