    hardwired ipod

The I-pod interface...

    Tire Cupping

    I had the same problem on my 05, the tires we destroyed by 13k miles, even with rotation at 6k. Ended up printing off the TSB and tating the truck back to Ford. At 2 years and 13k miles the best they would do is pay 50% of the cost of new tires and the alignment. I have since replaced the...

    Tire Cupping problem, burnt by Ford warranty

    Points well taken. It's all a business transaction and needs to be treated as such, with dotted I's and crossed T's. I know it won't happen again to me. Thanks for the help and reality check!

    How much for monroe reflex shocks?

    I went to the local sears store in Tyler, and was told thay they do not offer the monroe reflex shocks for a 2005 ST, I had them check for a 2002 or 2003 as they would be the same. They gave me the same answer. Welcome to East Texas, Duh!! I will buy them elsewhere and put on myself.

    Speed controlled volume for Audiophile system

    I have a 2005 XLT premium with the Audiophile system. In reading through the owners manual as well as the settings on the unit itself, it calls out a speed controlled volume setting. This is so that the faster you drive the music volume will increase to compensate for road noises. I have tried...
