Got our 25 Friday The 4th Explorer ST we have owned Vastly improved throttle response & trans shifting characteristics Have recalibrated all of our previous models Am a retired automotive engineer & I think "TUNING" sounds hokey May not need to with the 25 Much better than our 22 before I...

Is this still available? When I try to download it I get a bunch of adds instead Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone tuned a 2025 ST YET?

I am 80 years old Have owned 11 Ford Eco Boost vehicles All have been recalibrated Last 5 used 5 Star calibrations with SCT X4 calibrator Currently have a 2023 Explorer ST Calibrations from 5 star Using 88 octane cal now 88 Octane is 15% ethanol Love the performance Trans shifting vastly...

Get a $600 re-calibration for your ST It will then blow all the others away I also saw an improvement in gas mileage & got rid of the stupid A.S.S. Will do 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds now with 5 STAR 94 octane performance calibration LOVIN IT[burnout][burnout]

So you can touch any of the 4 outer door handles & unlock the vehicle?

Our 2020 Explorer ST doors will not unlock when grabbing the door handle (except for the driver's door). We have owned several Ford vehicles that will unlock when touching any of the 4 doors (including our current 2020 Expedition) The local dealer says they called Ford & Ford told them our...

ZFG does offer a "FLEX FUEL TUNE" They do not require a separate sensor So it is possible they use the linear sensor input & fuel trim to determine ethanol content That is indeed possible FYI : "LINEAR" sensors are wideband sensors They are referred to as linear sensors because their pumping...

Most modern vehicles use LINEAR or A/F sensors Regardless of the fuel mix the LINEAR SENSOR input will adjust fuel to maintain stoichiometry When using ethanol blends fuel trim PLUS PERCENTAGES will increase as the amount of ethanol increases Their is no inline ethanol sensor on many FLEX FUEL...

Any vehicles designed to run on E10 or E15 have ethanol compatible components Does not make any difference whether it is e10 or e85 the same components must be used Injector flow rates & the high pressure fuel pump must have adequate flow rates to support the higher flow rates required for...

You don't need a fuel sensor These vehicles have LINEAR OXYGEN SENSORS which merely change fuel trim to match the fuel mix & maintain stoichiometry

Just checked on the Explorer Timberline Like a lot of the options but can only get the 4 banger in it "FOOEY" That killed it for me Would be a great vehicle option if the 3.0L V6 dual turbo engine was available 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline: Live Photo Gallery (fordauthority.com)

FYI I drove the 2011 F150 108,000 miles Drove the Taurus for 6 years I disagree The tune does not shorten vehicle life if it properly executed 5 Star offers an extended warranty for their calibrations The misconception that a well designed performance calibration will somehow shorten vehicle...

I'm in Been using 5 star for ours Be interesting how Ford calibration compares
