    2014 F-150 EcoBoost LOUD - Normal?

    We bought our truck in Feb 2014 and noticed this behavior last year and now it's back. It seems that when it's really hot out and we're running the A/C, the engine fans or something kicks in and sounds like a jet engine it's so loud. It didn't do that over the winter, and our winter was fairly...

    Wind deflectors for 2014 F-150

    Hi everyone, we traded our beloved ST for a new F-150 to have more luxury, better ride, and towing capacity. We loved the WeatherTech deflectors on the ST, but I've been reading reviews where they might not be so great on the F-150 due to the window bounce back feature. We like the sleek look...

    ST Creaking Sound

    About a week and a half ago I noticed the ST was making a new creaking sound. At first it only seemed to happen during acceleration when it was cold, but then it did it at startup. Interestingly this started within a week of installation of a hitch and towing our RV for the first time (and...

    Transmission cooler install FAIL

    Took the ST to a transmission shop I was referred to in order to have a tranny cooler installed in preparation for towing. When I picked it up they informed me thy didn't install it because there was a factory installed cooler already there. Perplexed, I left. I called my local Ford dealer...

    Thinking of buying a travel trailer, will the ST tow this?

    Hi everyone, we're thinking about buying a travel trailer and are wondering if our 2001 Job 1 ST will haul this ok. She's all stock with no mods for towing yet. So please share your thoughts on if she'll haul a trailer this size or what mods we would need to make it safe for Northern...

    Vibration during braking

    The ST vibrates when braking and is especially noticable at speeds above 35MPH. I'm thinking I've got rotor problems, but would like to hear what the possibilities might be and an idea how much such repairs might cost. Since my repair shop had to close their doors, I'm also looking for...

    Air conditioner causing stalling/RPM problem

    I have a 2001 ST that's having an air conditioning problem. Whether in A/C or Max A/C and only when in drive at a full stop, it clicks and the engine RPMs drop to almost stalling. This clicking and stalling happens every 5-10 seconds, and by the 2nd or 3rd time you can feel it's no longer...

    Strange AC behavior and RPM flux

    Yesterday I noticed the AC acting strangely and am wondering if someone can take a stab at what might be going wrong. You know how when you turn on the AC after a couple of seconds it kicks in and makes a click noise. Well, mine would click repeatedly every 10 seconds or so and then I would...
