    Inconsistent front end noise

    08 ST V6 4x4 I'm getting this inconsistent vump vump vump vump noise when accelerating, usually starting around 40, and the faster I go the more consistent the sound is. It also seems to be present during braking but I'm not sure if that is just because I'm decelerating. So not sure if it's a...

    A little cranky in the morning

    -08 V6 4x4 199000 miles I've been noticing that, especially when the truck has been sitting a while, it takes a little extra to get started. It's a few extra cranks, it's not like I'm cranking and cranking all day long. Normally I wouldn't worry too much, but we are towing a pop-up camper from...

    Auto 4x4 question

    This is my first winter with my 08 and I was wondering if everything is on the up and up with this. I noticed a lot of times coming from snowy slush on to dry roads or taking off from a light that the auto 4x4 will be on off on off until for about a half mile or so and tends to kind of noisy...

    Jumping out of park on incline

    08 ST V6 4x4 197000 miles I stopped at the incline at the end of my driveway this morning to move some things. Put it in park and noticed the truck rolling back. I put it in park again and it stayed put. I tried a couple of times and noticed that when the truck did roll back the tires kind of...

    ABS/Traction Control light

    08 V6 4x4 I pulled out of the gas station last night and first the Check Brake Sys red message popped up and disappeared, then the ABS/Traction Control lights popped on. Now anytime I drive the ABS?TC lights pop on when I get to speed. I noticed one time that they turn off when I have it running...

    Rear wheel bearing recommendations

    I have an 08 with a rear wheel bearing that's dead. I've been seeing a lot of videos of people just buying a preloaded knuckle so they don't have to deal with trying to pop out the hub. Has anyone had any luck with buying these on line from something like rockauto, or amazon. I'm trying to keep...

    Stuck in the carwash again

    I have an 08 V6 4x4. This is the second time this happened so I don't think it's a fluke. I drive in the carwash get my front tires on the belts, I pop it in neutral hands of the wheel foot off the brake. Then it's almost like the rear end locks up and skipping and jumping

    08 rear shock bushings

    So I think that I narrowed the squeaking in the back of my truck. Just peaking my head above the tire and I noticed that there is about an inch from the shock mount to the upper shock bushing. Could I get away with replacing the bushings or should I just replace the whole thing?

    Learn me about trailer hitches

    I have an 08 ST with a V6. Unfortunately it came with the completely useless bike rack hitch. The plan is it use it for pulling the pop up camper, and a car from one side of town to the other. I'm going to look for something used so I need to know what years work and do other Mercury or...

    bouncing clunk right rear

    I just picked up an 08 with 190,000 miles and I noticed a pretty substantial bouncing clunk going over bumps. It doesn't seem to be affecting any of the handling, or feel like it's going to fall apart or anything.

    rear window seal

    I just picked up an 08 sport trac and i noticed that the seal on the bottom of the rear sliding window looks like its jammed down the opening. Did a little digging on this site and couldn't find much about it.

    Hello from west michigan

    I just picked up an 08 Sport Trac with 190,000 miles, very clean and no rust, but it looks like it was a well looked after truck. Last November I bought an 04 Avalanche didn't even make two or three payments on it and somebody at work dropped a forklift on it. I try to see it as a blessing now...
