I have noticed a drop in gas mileage according to my in dash display (not to mention my wallet). I usually buy Chevron or Shell gas (I stay away from the Arcos and Costco). I heard from one car fanatic that I should be putting some additive in the gas tank every so often to help with the ethanol.

Our great state of Oregon decided that E10 was the way to go a couple years ago and now all gas stations are required to pump E10. It is ruining lawn mowers and boat motors across the state... For my 2 cycles I put extra oil in to help, or I find the stations that sell unblended as long as I...

For all you Oregonians out there, my buddies and I were cruising some of the trails in the Tillamook Forest doing both Easy and Moderate trails. For the most part my 07 rig did just fine but there were a few times when I bottomed out due to the low clearance of the 07. (Side note: I SURE...

Anybody know where I can find a 2007 Repair Manual for my v8 Limited ST? I looked at Chilton's and Hayes and they don't make any. Thanks! Chris

So I am getting ready to take her (2007 ST v8) out this weekend up near the Alsea Falls Area in Oregon. And I am running on about 5500 miles since my last change (which included a trip up to the falls for some 4x4in) I have been using Mobil 1 and MotorCraft filters since 5k on the track and now...

blksn8k-- How much more ground clearance did that give you?

I actually meant the roof rack, but I want to keep it open because I am looking at luggage racks and ski racks. That's what I get for trying to post in a hurry on a break :-)

I am trying to find a nice pair of Offroad lights to put up on the luggage rack that are easy on/ easy off. I don't want to fix something up there for good as I use the luggage rack for all sorts of things. Are there any high-powered battery operated ones? What options might I have? Thanks...

Another cleaning question: I have been using Armor All Protectant on my window trim to keep the oxidation and brown spots down, but it seems to not last very long-- and can leave streaks. What do you guys & gals all use? Thanks Chris

I thought we should do a poll on all 07 owners and how many miles they have on their truck and when they bought it. Mine: 6/20/2006 5556.0 Miles -Chris

Mine was painted nice and white-- so all my wrenches were just chipping the paint off. When I put it back I did what I always have done, used the old oil to apply around the gasket, screw it in by hand, and then do a 1/4 to 1/2 turn with a wrench. But man- I ended up removing and then putting...

I finally changed the oil in my 07-- and am now running Mobil 1 Full Synthetic-- and used a motorcraft oil filter. I had a HORRIBLE time getting the old filter off my V8- it took two of us, three different wrenches, and bicycle tubing (for extra grip) to get the thing off. Anyone else have such...

What do you guys use to clean the Tonneau cover? I have washed it using my favorite wash/wax and towel dried it, and it still has water spots from some of the random summer rain we had..... Thanks guys & gals!

Mine is the same way, I sometimes just turn it down for a bit and then let it slowly cool down, cause the blast of air usually isn't cool

I have TNT HD via Comcast-- looks fine for sporting events-- the regular shows they do "stretch" def-- and stretch the picture to widescreen

What has everyone else done so far in their 07's?

I picked up a Motorcraft filter for $4 from the dealer, and I am just on the fence about whether or not to put synthetic in now at 1500 miles. Some people say its just fine, and they prefer to run straight synthetic as soon as they can, but other people say to wait until 5,000 to run synthetic.

Well after almost three weeks with my 07 V8, I have hit 1500 miles. I heard that at 1500 you should replace the oil to get the metal shavings out. I am going to go with Synthetic oil, I know this is going to put me off of the 5000 maintenance list, but I'd rather get the "gunk" out. Anyone have...

Congrats!!!! Can't wait to see your pics when you get them up.

Thanks guys-- I am so happy with it-- I am going to do the first major clean tomorrow-- its picked up a lot of stuff in the last week
