    2023 ST Weak Audio - Amp possibly not even working?

    Fo what it’s worth I thought mine was far from good. Decent at low volume but max loudness was lacking for what it was imo. The head unit puts out pretty clean low level signals right up to 30. At least none that I could measure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    New ride and member

    Yeah, nothing good about impacts for installing lug nuts even with torque sticks Imo. I use mine to loosen lug nuts but all tightened with torque wrench in 2 or 3 steps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Audio System Overhaul

    Nice install! Those usb connections are awesome! My cables are just tucked away so I can pull them out when needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SuperForged Big Brake Kit Review

    It took me about 2 hours to do it on a quickjack. That includes time for beer. I would guess 300 and up. It’s really a pretty easy job. The hardest part are the brake lines. I also use a $15 HF vacuum brake bleeder to make it even easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    I have a Bosch Mastertech II and a subscription to Ford. I can do pretty much anything a dealer can do. Not cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fluids Change - Need clarification

    I would not hesitate to use their full synthetic gear oil. I ran it in my trucks at my business for 30 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil change intervals,mileage vs oil life gage

    I change every 5k. Cheap insurance. Turbos are hard on oil. I ran a few oil samples early on. Looks like I could run 7-8k intervals if I wanted to but again cheap insurance. Usually at 30-40% oil life. Pretty sure you could run it down to 5-0% safely running full synthetic without major...

    Trans Temp Gauge

    I had an Edge CTs 3 in my previous diesel truck. Moved it to the ST and it works great. It wasn’t cheap when I got it but it’s going on 6-ish years of use with no issues. It does give TFT which is what I used doing the first trans fluid change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey, new owner of a 2021 ST

    Welcome. Would you NEED better brakes? ST is a pretty good platform in stock mode. Having said that many of us have WANTED more horsepower, better brakes, styling changes, etc[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Oil Catch Can

    Imo if you keep your cars for a few years and trade them then it’s not worth it. If you keep your vehicle for 100k or 200k miles it is definitely worth. Eventually you will have to have the valves blasted with walnut shells to clean them if you have a DI engine. That can get pricey but does a...

    Best Oil Catch Can

    Some do. All about cost imo. My wife’s Mercedes has a stock oil separator on it. Most do not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Audio System Overhaul

    Hard to find an intermittent break. Probably not the assemblers’ fault. I was making harnesses for fridge sized computers back in the 80’s. Only ac and dc with no signaling or digital comms. I had to test every wire for continuity and if it passed I got to install it[emoji23] Sent from my...

    Audio System Overhaul

    Excellent. Electric gremlins are tough to track down sometimes. Good to hear you got it figured out and parts on their way. Kind of disappointing they screwed up the harness. I made wiring harnesses as a youngster and it’s just not that hard imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission Fluid Level Check

    Yeah the dipstick sucks as does burning your hand on the exhaust. Some wear gloves but my fingers are challenged sometimes[emoji23]. After my first level check I now use a fluid extractor when everything is cold. Just measure out and in. Strange about the pan. I have the ppe pan and it took a...
