Best tune for 2020 Ford Explorer ST

F=MA · Oct 9, 2020

I am a couple of revisions into my E50 ZFG tune and the ST is becoming a beast. Hang on !! So I have written two E50 tunes to the vehicle and now my auto start/stop appears to have quit working. The light does not come on when I press the button on and off. In normal mode, I can pull up to a red light and the vehicle does not shut off like it did before writing the tunes to the vehicle. I am not complaining as I hate the auto start/stop feature and may not need to install the module from my previous ST to make it remember the last setting. Anyone have this issue? I wonder if I disconnect the battery if it will reset the auto start/stop?

up to you. The car actually throttles itself until about 500miles. My usual rule of thumb is after the first oil change. But some guys have seen electrical things and transmission things pop up around the 2500mi mark. So if you want to make sure you don’t have a lemon or anything that’s going to need some dealer work to iron out any kinks... maybe wait till a few thousand?

It may be a tune feature Adam turned off. I need to ask...I’d be happy to have it gone.

It's shut off in the tune.

It's yours not shut off? Usually I shut it off unless it's requested to stay on! Just put it in notes when you submit your data log

New here as well just picked up my 20 ST few weeks ago best time was a 13.71 highest 14.0 flat first time.running it. Looking at the palm beach 93 tune. Trucks all.stock whats everyone running on the tune only? 12s? That what it seems?? Thanks!

On the Livernois, it is a dash option that you can check or uncheck.

Congrats! The majority of tuned owners are getting in the 12's.

Deep 12’s are pretty easy on a good 93 tune. 11’s on an E50 tune. A Whipple intercooler should be on your very short list of mods though.

Hahaha! That just displays whether it is doing it or not. It has ZERO effect on the operation of it.

OK thanks. I thought that was an enable/disable toggle. I guess they deactivate it in the tune.

How do you get the speedometer in the center of the display? I've seen pictures of it, but can't get mine to do it.

CapTom said:

you have to have cruise control set to normal (not adaptive or intelligent), and then toggle the switch at the end of the turn signal stalk to turn lane keep assist off.

zdubyadubya said:

Thanks. I wonder why the routine.

LokiWolf · Oct 10, 2020

zdubyadubya said:

Nope. Mine is set to intelligent.

Lane keep assist does have to be off though. If it is on, it will move the speedo left.

Distance indication has to be turned off...

That is all. If you turn lane keep assist on or cruise it will move to the left.

Ah... "distance indication". thanks for the clarification. i knew it was that pic of the car in front of you that had to be turned off... just forgot where it was stuck. Thanks!

I just got my 93 tune from ZFG and I am seriously impressed. This is how the vehicle should have came from the factory.
