    Header Bolt Issue...

    For the last couple of months, I noticed that my ST V8 had an unusual "noise" or "rattle" when I would start it up. Initially, I thought it might be the engine chain guide which I've read, had problems. Today, while being under the truck to change my oil, I thought I'd inspect the undercarriage...

    How Often Do You Change Your Oil?

    I have an 08 ST XLT with roughly 143,xxx miles on it and am running up on my 2nd oil change since aquiring the truck. Granted, opinions will vary, but what intervals do you'll change your ST's oil at? The manual says 7500 miles MAX. I currently run Mobil 1 with K&N's Gold filter and was thinking...

    Gen2 Complete Brake Fluid Swap/Bleed

    Has anyone bled their braking system yet or completely swapped out the OEM brake fluid? If so, was there any noticeable difference in brake feel/power. I believe it's a known issue, but the Gen2 brakes feel very soft and require more force than I am use too. I'd like to replace the brake fluid...

    Rear Diff Fluid Change Question

    I'll be changing my fluids this weekend, to include front/rear/TC/tranny. When changing the rear diff, the manual instructs to use Mercon SP which I purchased (Amsoil brand). The question is, do I need to add any type of rear diff additive? I read somewhere and watched some DIY videos that also...

    Custom headlights....Retrofit

    Well, after several week of waiting, I finally installed the headlights with the projector housing retrofits. First impress of the physical aspect, looks bad ass. However, once getting the lights all wired up, I was quite disappointed. Why? Because of the following issues: - right side...

    2nd GEN OEM Shifter Swap

    I learned about this modification/upgrade over @ explorerforum.com I attempted and completed this aesthetically pleasing mode today. During the process, I proved to be one of the unlucky owners as the retaining allen bolt holding the OEM shifter in place, striped itself from the OEM...

    08ST First Oil Change

    Performed my first oil change last night. Needless to say, one of the messiest I?ve performed. The flow of drain oil from the oil pan AND oil filter for the 4.6L are at odd angles. Ford tried to be crafty by installing what I call a ?flow director/ channel.? Well, for the oil filter flow, its...

    Spacers Installed on 08 ST

    I installed my spacers yesterday after they arrived! These are 1" spacers, 5x114, hub-centric, mounted with stock 245/65/17 wheels. With spacers, the tires seem to fill the void much better. I apologize in advance, but I dont have a "true" both sided rear end photo to show how good it looks now...

    08 ST Spark Plug Change

    This weekend, I am going to attempt the spark plug change on my 08-4.6L ST.
