    5R55S Trans pan drop

    Hey all! I'm getting ready to do a "pan drop" on my fathers 07 ST, 4.0L. How "re-useable" is the re-useable gasket? I know it's been down at least once before by a garage. How many times have any of you re-used it? I'll most likely order the gasket anyway when I order the filter. Just...

    Fuel pressure loss

    Hey All, having an issue on first start of the day. Even after an hour sometimes. Getting worse as the months go by. It takes 2-3 attempts to start. When I prime the fuel pump 2-3 times first(KOEO), it starts no problem. No drive-ability issues. I finally got around to hooking the fuel...

    Hose Clamps

    Has anyone found/know of decent hose clamps for your radiator hoses? I replaced my hoses a year or so ago and put some autozone worm-style hose clamps on it. It seems like every few months since Ive had to re-tighten them. They become loose and leak/weep/mist. I know this because my belt...

    Radiator replacement

    Just an FYI. I just replaced my radiator tonight. I got 160K out of the original. Pretty easy/relaxing job. Didn't even have to remove the fan. It had a very small 3 inch crack on the passenger side-side of the tank. Just below the upper hose and right down the center. Kinda weird I thought...

    Gen2 Gas pedal noise?

    I have been driving my Father's 2007 ST V6 all week. I noticed while coasting along when I lightly start to accelerate I hear a 1/2-1 second, faint, noise. It's sounds to me like a elec motor sound or possibly a vacuum coming from around the passengers foot well. It happens very quickly, with...

    rear differential- cause of failing question

    Just dropped off my ST at the trans place that rebuilt the rear diff last December. I am 500miles over their warranty but under their 12 month warranty. Paper did not say 12k "OR" 12mo whichever comes first. Just scribbled 12mo 12k on the receipt. I know they can use that anyway against me if...

    Rear differential

    Oh no! I had my entire rear diff rebuilt back in Dec.2012. I was planning on changing the gear oil after "break in" at some point. I asked when it was done if I needed to do that and the guy said just leave it be. So I never got around to it until today. Well, Ive been periodically checking the...
