    Replacing Rocker Panels 2010 Adrenalin - some questions

    Sorry if I mislead anyone. The $4K included have a goofy hood scoop installed by the previous owner removed. The shop said the only way to make it look factory was to remove the scoop, repair the holes and sand and block the entire hood. I told them to go for it and don't regret it. So, I...

    Replacing Rocker Panels 2010 Adrenalin - some questions

    Yeah, I went the classic resto shop way also. More expensive, but I wanted quality because I knew I was going to keep the truck a long time (already 5 years in). Mine was a $4K total, so five years later, your quote is probably "in line" given how expensive everything has gotten. Every thing...

    Replacing Rocker Panels 2010 Adrenalin - some questions

    No I don't. Sorry. Most of the rust was at the rear corner of the rockers but enough was showing up in other spots that I had the shop do a full replacement. As I said, I knew this going to be a keeper, so I didn't mind paying to having the job done right.

    Stuck in the carwash again

    While I don't care for that style of conveyor wash, I do occasionally go through one with no problems. My ST is a 2008 4.6 all-wheel. However, I do prefer the drive-in style where the wash occurs in one spot, then you manually move you vehicle through the rinse and dry cycles.

    Replacing Rocker Panels 2010 Adrenalin - some questions

    I had this done on my ST. Took it to a resto shop that had fabrication skills. Worth every dime since I bought this as my "forever" truck as well. The shop claimed that most rust wasn't from the 3rd brake light but was due to poor drain design by Ford. The drain holes were tiny and easily...

    Towing a ST

    As I gather, the "flash" of the computer tells the transfer case to go to neutral. With auto 4wd it won't do that unless the computer tells it to. The problem for me will probably be the age of the vehicle (2008) and the dealer knowing how, or willing to, flash the computer. If any of you...

    Towing a ST

    I think you need to have a "neutral kit" installed which is nothing more than an led light to let you know the trans is in neutral. I believe Ford has to flash the computer to get it to go into full neutral (or something like that). I guess I need to ask the Ford dealership if they still do...

    Can a 2008 ST 4wd 4.6 V8 be towed via a towbar behind a motorhome??

    Joining as a possible buyer

    Mine is an 08 with vinyl mat. I prefer it over carpet. Easier to clean. I do have the Sport trac carpet mats which "hook" in and out and are easy to keep clean. If the get muddy (I don't normally do mud), I simply shampoo them and let them dry. BTW - does anyone know where replacements can...

    Removal of instrument cluster screen 2008 ST

    Thanks. The "specks" are not on the front surface but on the inside, which makes me believe that something I spray was able to get behind the lens. The only way to find out is removing the cluster and closely examining the lens to see if it is removable. If not, it will simply stay the way it...

    Removal of instrument cluster screen 2008 ST

    Thanks! I know he was showing how to remove the cluster, but I wonder how the lens can be removed for cleaning? Guess I'll have to pull the cluster and figure it out. If that lens is "fused" to the cluster housing, I wonder how I got "specks" of something splattered on the inside? Again...

    Removal of instrument cluster screen 2008 ST

    Ok. So how do I remove the cluster? I saw one vid here on a 1st gen that showed him having to remove the entire radio/heat/ac pod. But that generation doesn't look like the '08. Anyone remove the cluster on an '08 ??

    Removal of instrument cluster screen 2008 ST

    Vehicle is a 2008 ST Limited. I wish to removed the plastic shield/screen which covers the gauge cluster. Something (spray treatment maybe?) has speckled the screen and I simply wish to clean the screen. Does the entire cluster have to be removed? Of is there a way to remove the dash housing...
