    Alternator Whine Through Speakers...

    So I've recently noticed I can vividly hear my alternator whining through my speakers and/or subwoofer. I have a 2010 STA with factory nav and subwoofer. Typically in an aftermarket setup this wold be caused by the close proximity of the power wire to the RCA cables, or a shoddy ground...

    Lincoln Aviator seats in 2010 STA

    I've been considering options to replace my front seats because they simply are not comfortable. What do you think about a set out of a 2005 Aviator? Would all the power and heating plugs be different?

    2010 STA Heated Mirrors

    My New 20" Curved LED Light Bar

    Purchased this off Amazon - the "brand" is Simplive, and it comes with a wire harness and built in switch, but I will be installing my own switch that will go in the blank spot where the windshield heater button would be. For the price, you can't beat this... I am very happy with it. Final...

    Check your rear diff...

    So I had my truck up on the hoist this afternoon to change my tires over to the winters, and I wanted to have a look because she's been running a little rough lately. Once I got her up, I quickly noticed a leak from the CV connection... I also checked the fluid and it was nearly dry with some...

    Smoke Coming from the Dash...

    So I started my truck this morning as I normally do during the colder months - with my factory Ford remote starter, about 5 minutes prior to entering my truck. When I got in I was instantly bombarded with a burning smell. I thought that maybe it was something outside that was burning, so I...

    17" Winter Tire Wheels

    So my winter tires are on black steel wheels, looking to make a slight "upgrade" to slightly more stylish rims. Can anyone recommend a 17" wheel with 5x114.3 bolt pattern? A local dealer in the classified ads is selling MSR wheels for $440 for the set.

    ST Seat Upgrade

    If there's one thing I would have to put at the top of my list of complaints, it would no doubt be the comfort of the seats. Has anyone swapped there seats with another vehicle? Upgraded? Re-upholstered and added foam? Just wondering because this may be something I would consider.

    LED Bed Lighting

    I Will definitely be doing this in the spring, but I'm wondering if anyone has done it yet. I plan to connect to the 12V power point that is located in the bed, with a switch, instead of connecting to the parking lights, simply for the ease of connection.

    2010 STA Fog Lights

    Has anyone replaced their Adrenalin fog lights with an aftermarket set? I'm not talking about bulb replacement, but actual housing replacement. I'm thinking of replacing with an aftermarket Glass housing, or projector housing. The diameter is 3", so with a few mods, I'm assuming any 3"...

    Mobil 1 - Oil Change

    So I've been using Mobil 1 - Extended Performance for about 10,000km now and my dash cluster is telling me it's time for an oil change. I used to change my oil every 5,000km, but I'm done with that now - I usually just wait until the dashboard tells me to change it (every 10,000km or so)...

    Auto 4x4 - 2010 STA

    I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyway... Is there anyway to disengage the auto 4x4 so I can keep the truck in rear wheel drive? I thought by deactivating traction control this might stop the 4x4 from engaging, but that proved to not be the case... I'm...

    Adding a heated windshield...

    Does anyone know if this is possible? I had it on my 2008 ST, and when the winter rolled around, it was the best feature you could ask for... I'm pretty sure the wiring for the dash switch is already behind cluster, but does anyone know if the contacts are already located at the...

    Warranty Coverage: Different at Different Dealerships??

    So I recently noticed that the lower hinges on both my front doors were making a "popping" sound, along with being stiff... Yes, I am a religious user of lubricant - giggity - so that definitely wasn't the issue. The hinges were simply gone and required replacement. I take my truck to one...

    Transmission........

    I have a 2010 STA, and when I'm approaching a red light or stop sign, the tranny seems to "jump" a little as I am approaching a full stop.... I also used to own a 2008 ST Limited with the same 4.6/6 spd tranny combo, and that one did the same thing right off the lot... a lot more violently I...
