    Time to hit the road again.

    Enjoy the ride. Did my first real long distance driving last week. Hella fun in the mountains . Damn fun car to thrash! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ditto on dealer experience. Couldn’t get the rear close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission temp 195 F

    I have never not checked automatic trans fluid at operating temp in any of the many vehicles over 45 years. My shop manual for my ST specifically states to get it up to operating temp. Per usual, we should all do what we think is best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tinted ST pictures

    Yup. Had a choice on the fronts to go a tad darker or lighter than the rears. I went with a tad lighter in the hopes of avoiding a fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission temp 195 F

    Agree. Also cruising in overdrive with the converter locked really keeps the temps down compared to flogging her. Did a round trip to Hilton Head, 3000 miles, and I had no trouble heating up things on the twisty mountain roads[emoji23]. ST is really impressive for what it is and I’ve road raced...

    Tinted ST pictures

    Matched front to back and 20% in windshield. Also tinted sunroof for heat rejection. Can’t tell the windshield is tinted at all and I’ve never had a problem in 30 years tinting the windshield. These days you get 95% heat rejection even with clear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission temp 195 F

    That sounds about right for normal driving. If you start unlocking the torque converter in stop and go or towing you can get the temp to climb over 200. When I change trans fluid I put the trans in drive, hold the brake, and let it run at 1500-2000 rpm and the trans gets up to 195-200 in about 5...

    10r60 transmission pan upgrade

    I have not noticed any cooler trans temps with my PPE pan. It increases capacity which is the primary reason I installed it. I’m guessing it helps on a hot day but in normal temps and normal driving I never saw a change in temp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to clean/treat dashboard?

    Another 303 fanboy here. Been using that shit on everything. Car plastics? Patio furniture, awning, anything outside. Excellent UV rejection properties and not shiny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New rotor / brake pad break in

    That contact patch looks awfully small on the rotor. Since bedding is critical to brake performance and longevity I would consider doing it again. You can clean the rotors by doing several high speed braking events back to back. I usually do three 80-20 hard braking events back to back. You...

    Trans. dip stick

    Looking above the dipstick I could see no room for a tube. I put a PPE pan with a drain. I drain and measure how much came out and put the same in and save the hassle of the dipstick next to the hot exhaust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Downstream sensors are used for cat efficiency. Guessing that is where your problem is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Non street pack tire width

    Look at the tire you are considering. It should have a spec on the rim sizes it fits. Not a big change though imo, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Downpipes

    V8’s exclusively until my ST. Love the power you can get out of this V6 reasonably easily. The awd is great for launching. My Ctsv had 700rwhp but you just plain couldn’t keep the tires from spinning unless you went with drag radials. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
