    93 Octane Gas and Top Tier

    There is a major misconception with ethanol in gasoline. It is actually VERY GOOD for this Ecoboost engine. Ethanol provides evaporative cooling in the combustion, which helps prevent knock and therefore prevents the engine from pulling timing and reducing power. I would never use ethanol...

    Anyone have the Wix oil filter #?

    THATS WHAT SHE SAID, THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!!! I can't ignore a great time to quote Wayne Campbell and Michael Scott. Seriously though, the UPR drain plug is amazing. Grab a 1/2" ID flex hose to put on the end when draining and there is no mess.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    mid-10s is going to be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Hell, breaking into the 10's is expensive AF. I believe there are only 2? Theo and Kevin.....anyone else? Better put your Platinum (not ST) on a major diet and open your wallet. "Everyone has a plan until I punch them in...

    Anyone tried/have experience with MonsterTuned?

    Also, their ethanol calcs on the bottom of the page are not accurate. You don't mix 7gal of e85 in a 20gal tank to get e30. It's more like 5.3gal of e85 because your 93/91 will be e10. This is what I like to call a "Red Flag".

    Anyone tried/have experience with MonsterTuned?

    No. I looked at their website and there is no mention of modifying shift points. I doubt they have the transmission figured out nearly as well as ZFG, or even at all.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    They have to make the parts before they can fix it. This takes time, despite many thinking there is a "shelf" full of them. Ford uses Just-In-Time manufacturing methods, and this was not a planned procurement.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    yes, sounds like this is the solution. The parking brake is to take care of the safety issue if there is a bolt failure. More often than not the single bolt will hold. Seems Ford is making the PUI customers a priority with the entire replacement as we can't have those vehicles stuck...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    not true. It is "Certain 2020-2022 model years" in 22S27.

    Warranty issue with aftermarket intercooler

    this question has been asked over and over. Warranties are not "black or white", there is a LOT of gray area in there. Your dealer and/or Ford can decline warranty service for any aftermarket part. Don't pull the Mag-Moss act here either because Ford has more lawyers and cash than you or I...

    Oil Leak!!!

    someone may have just been uber messy when they removed the drain plug. The OEM plug is plastic and is very easy to break, especially if you get frustrating trying to remove it! I would definitely check your oil level ASAP.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I swapped out the driver side plugs to 1-range colder NGK's last night, prepped the passenger side to finish today. It started out as just checking my oil level, then checked the front driver side plug, then wanted to see how much room I had in the back two plug wells, then I wanted to just see...

    How-To: Ethanol Sensor Installation

    This was part of the sensor install kit from FenFab, not sure the size or what the p/n is. I looked into piecing a kit together, but it would have been more of a hassle and wouldn't have been any less expensive. The FenFab kit is perfect. You might want to look at Fore Innovations to see if...

    aFe Momentum GT CAI

    I made a handy guide for installing the ethanol sensor here https://www.explorerst.org/threads/how-to-ethanol-sensor-installation.2506/#post-31964 I'm using an Innovative gauge that is mounted snuggly in the back right side of the center cubby, but you can use the Fuel-It bluetooth or the sleek...

    New exhaust 1/2 the weight of stock!

    They are thinking: 1. Cost 2. Quiet because 99% of Explorer owners don't give a shit about the exhaust except for the "cool" double tips, even though they are fake If you want a car that is designed for performance then get in line for a Ferrari or Porsche.

    Ford Performance Tune

    because rehashing this topic and speculating on how HP numbers is ridiculous. Have fun waiting.
