    2010 A/C problem

    Fellow 2010 SHO owner here. Got 102k miles on her. I had that exact same issue a little while ago. When the car is stopped and idling, the A/C blew warm air, but when I started moving again, the ac blew cold again. Also, the radiator fans acted up by going full speed when the engine was at...

    SHO us your wheels

    20" Gloss black rims. Freshly detailed and ceramic coated. And some tire shine on the tires. I love these wheels in my SHO, but the only thing I hate is the wheels look absolutely filthy again as soon as I drive it after washing it.

    Replacing water pump before it fails

    That's good thinking! Preventative maintenance is always good. I had to replace the waterpump on my 2010 Sho last year. The car had around 85k miles when I took it in for waterpump replacement service. I would go with OEM Ford parts. You can try ordering online, but going to a Ford...

    SHO 2011 OIL LAMP INDICATOR ALERT?

    When you check your oil, make sure you let the car sit and rest for at least 15-20 minutes (when the engine oil is hot) to get a proper reading. To actually get your oil temp upto 212F, you need to drive for at least 20 minutes, or 10-15miles. Just because your coolant temp needle is at normal...

    2010 SHO 5W20 or 5W30 oil?

    I use 5w20, and sometimes 0w20. I have a 2010 Taurus SHO. Car has 98k miles, and the car runs perfect. Never had to replace the turbos, never had to open up the engine (other than water pump replacement at around 86k miles? I think it was 86k.). 5w20 is fine and I want to explain why I think...

    Rear shocks

    I would go with OEM Motorcraft shocks 100%, if you are looking for comfortable ride quality. Rock Auto sometimes has the OEM shocks for my 2010 sho, I don't know about the 2013 sho though. I have the H&R lowering springs, with the OEM shocks. The car rides fine, comfortable enough, but I...

    VIBRATION

    I hope I'm not too late in this discussion, but I've had that issue too on my 2010 sho. I had this weird vibration throughout the car. Everything seemed fine. Suspension was great, wheel alignment was great, no worn out suspension bushings, tires were perfectly balanced and pretty new, shocks...

    under chassis protector

    You can drive without it, but I would get one as soon as possible. It''s a lot safer and better for the engine and transmission to have the undercover. A lot of newer cars have undercovers for a reason. Here's why: if something kicks up into the engine bay while youre going down the road...
