    2006 X V-8 Exhaust noise

    My truck sounds like a diesel on cold start. A mechanic buddy of mine listened to it Sunday and said it sounds like a cracked or loose header. Any one else have this problem? If it is, is it covered under the extended warranty?

    The FORD NAV RADIO will play audio at the same time as navigating. No, you do not need a destination programmed for the map to operate.

    Adding Sirius

    I'll stand corrected to this point... the FORD SIRIUS module connected right up to to a SIRIUS brand antenna. (Which BTW worked perfectly under the outside cowl as stated in another post.)

    Adding Sirius
