    Gen 2--V8, exhaust manifold

    Complained to FORD and they gave me $1000 off the job. I would've gone to another dealer excpet that they already had a bunch of stuff already out and on the ground. asking them to put it back, charge me for the time and then going to another dealer just wasn't in the cards. I will know for...

    Gen 2--V8, exhaust manifold

    OK, much worse news, 2 of the studs broke and is inside the head. They have to pull the head and drill out from the inside. Total estimate for the passenger bank is $3400. Of course, my truck just exceeded the mileage threshold for the warranty. I put in a call to FORD to see if they will...

    Gen 2--V8, exhaust manifold

    Stealership has the car...estimate is ~$900 for installation of new manifold, studs, gasket, etc. for the passenger side. That is assuming the other studs don't snap and they need to drill out the stud. Unfortunately i am over the mileage limt on the warranty (of course). It still irks me...

    Gen 2--V8, exhaust manifold

    Add another to the list...08 STA, 61k miles, my regular shop said at least one of the manifold bolts is toast that they can see. He wouldn't even touch it...will go to the dealer and see how much I need to bend over. Anyone find a TSB for this? I guess I can try to convince them that this...

    Bob C...how does your new set up compare to the OEM setup? Do you use the truck for towing?

    Is anyone pulling a boat

    I pull a 20ft open car trailer...total weight with car is around 4500lbs. Had enough power but did play with the O/D switch on the highway when I hit some long uphills. I have a V8 STA. Only issue is mileage...about 12mpg (mostly highway) which I guess, all things considered, is not...

    2008 Sport Trac Limited Mileage

    been trac'ing my mileage and it is pretty low...blame it on the winter gas blend. I am lucky to get 16-17 on highway (70-80) and the ave for a tank is about 12-13. Just curious since this is what I got the truck for, for those that tow, what do you guys get when you are towing 5000lb...

    DMH Performance - Electric Exhaust Cut-Out

    ditto...that is the one I used as well. Positioned the dump facing the outside and slightly downward, didn't even need a tip on it. The mounting bracket is not welded in so you have the flexibility to position the cut out valve any position you want (i.e. best to make sure the motor is tucked...

    DMH Performance - Electric Exhaust Cut-Out

    Todd hit it on the nose...not sure if it is any faster but sure sounds good and intimidates (or annoys:D) the guy next to you!

    DMH Performance - Electric Exhaust Cut-Out

    2.5" Installed for 2 weeks in an 08 STA along with Magnaflow mufflers and got too much complaining from the family (and this is with the cut-out closed!). Original wiring and instructions still in box. Check out www.Dmhperformance.com for more info. $80 973-449-2843

    XCAL III - impressive

    Wasn't expecting a big difference but this is the way it should have come from the factory! Feels like an entirely different truck...before sluggish off the line, didn't really feel like there was a 300hp V-8 under the hood but now it is noticeably better (87 perf tune). I guess if Ford did it...

    magnaflow exhaust

    Did an awesome set-up that I really liked with a round and oval in sequence with an electric cutout in between but family complained too much. Hard to tell from clips but this setup had a nice rumble on idle, pretty noticeable between 1500 and 2500 rpm around town, at 70, still heard the...

    magnaflow exhaust

    I installed a round Magnaflow and an oval one in sequence (took out the stock resonator and muffler unit)...my family still thinks it is too loud so I will be putting the stock resonator back. It is restrictive but that is the price I pay for having a family with a low exhaust sound tolerance...

    Delivery miles...what is too much?

    Thanks for all the response guys...the dealer claimed that most of the miles were back and forth once to one of their sister dealerships in the area (about 70 miles round trip) where they thought they had a buyer but didn't work out so they drove it back. Targeting next week for delivery...

    Delivery miles...what is too much?

    So what delivery miled would you consider as too high for a "new" car? There is an 2008 STA that has 101 miles on it...pretty decent deal with x plan and the cash rebate but a part of me is concerned about the car being beat on for 100 miles. Opinions welcomed... Thanks!
