    Tail light trim

    Nice Find! They look like they're a chrome plated-plastic . . . Are they pretty flimsy? What's the installation method? clip-on, adhesive . . . ? They look nice on your truck, but I'm personally possibly interested in these to strip down & paint black.

    Loud fan noise

    Welcome to my world! This is the third summer now (Houston, Texas) that I've had to deal with this issue. I've had it into Ford half a dozen times & still no fix . . . The last time I was in I had a chance to speak with the tech & he said he knew exactly what it was & how to fix it. He...

    Torrie, MIA?

    How very strange . . . I've sent a few messages throughout the past couple weeks and was surprised I hadn't heard anything. I've been using the same (work) email I've always used, so maybe my IT department is blocking them now for some reason. I'm glad I tried via this site. Thanks for the...

    Torrie, MIA?

    Has anyone heard from Torrie, with Fastparts/Unleashed, lately? I've tried contacting him via email, regarding his tune revisions, and haven't heard a peep in a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd ask around. Torrie has generally promptly replied to my previous emails, so there's a chance he's...

    Braking Wobble

    There are a few threads regarding this on the site . . . My '08 STA behaved the same after just a couple of months of owning the truck. The dealer determined that it was the rotors, so they machined them. It's been much better since, but always there. Then my original Pirelli tires...

    Tail Lights

    No disrespectful intention here guys/gals, but I don't think any of these replies help Mario with his question . . . Familiarity & compliance with local laws, etc. is really up to the individual discretion. I'm sure to some degree Mario appreciates fellow members looking out for him, but...

    Electronic Fan Clutch Issue

    L1Tech, Thanks for replying . . . I believe you're the one that replied to my original inquiry and informed me that it is my fan clutch . . . I understand where you're coming from regarding "the fan is operating exactly as it is meant to", I just have to wonder if the computer's tolerance...

    Electronic Fan Clutch Issue

    As I mentioned, I only have occurrences once the engine is completely warmed up . . . I drive 30 minutes home at around 4:00 in the afternoon. 2/3 of my drive is on the freeway & the remaining 1/3 is stop & go. I can usually make it home without the fan kicking on, but if I stop somewhere...

    Electronic Fan Clutch Issue

    I posted this a couple of summers ago & was curious if any progress has been made for remedying this issue . . . The best way I can describe the symptoms is a roaring of the fan (similar to the fan-roar sound a box truck makes) upon acceleration & a noticeable lack of power. If I remember...

    Dome Light Issue: Coming on while driving???

    After 2 years of owning my 2008 STA, I just recently started experiencing an odd issue . . . While driving over speed humps, backing out of a driveway or just driving through a little rough terrain, my interior lights come on momentarily & immediately turn off . . . Generally it happens 2 or...

    New Torrie tune and K&N CAI trips report

    Bob, that's exactly what I asked Torrie to tweak for me and there was no notable improvement.

    Aftermarket Air Intake Kit

    +1 (Iceman & Les) The only reason to go with the cone-style filter is for a "performance look." With the OEM intake design, the air travels a very short distance from behind the grill and into the box. Cut the baffle out of the airbox, (optional - remove the plastic deflector from behind...

    New Torrie tune and K&N CAI trips report

    I asked Torrie about the bump issue and he told me that without experiencing it for himself, he doesn't know how to properly diagnose it . . . I don't have any plans to drive to Florida any time soon, so I'm just having to live with the bumps. He has sent me a couple of tweaked tunes, but the...

    Fueling up '10 Adrenalin

    My '08 Adrenalin did the same thing a couple of summers ago, randomly stopped & hasn't returned . . . the heat & humidity may have had something to do with it in my case . . . try pumping when it's cool (late at night or first thing in the morning) and see if there's a difference . . . just a...

    Recon 3rd Brake Light

    I posted a thread about this a while back after I read of others with the same issue. Apparently this occurrence only happens with the Gen 2/F150 model because I have yet to find anything mentioned from a Gen 1 owner. Link to threads below: I had mine on for around six months and the...
