Would appreciate more details on specifically what was wrong with the wiring and what caused it if they give you more information.

ZFG DMS tune + choice of intercooler upgrade is my vote. Do the IC first if you can't do it all at once, IMHO its a necessity. The stock unit they installed should be a crime. From my research here and around the net, exhaust upgrades seems to be for fun or to get away from frequently breaking...

You will be fine with any oil as long as it has SN or SP(newer) API spec. There are specifics for DIT engines that matter with these grades. Also extended drain is possible, but greatly depends on the type of driving and oil used. Me personally even with some of the best oils (I use Amsoil...

Agreed, would love to do this but I see this as a $1000 upgrade, not a $3K.

Welp I went all out and even got a ZFG tune so I'm in up to my neck. Taking a gamble big time, but wow the ST is a beast now. So much fun to drive.

+1 on some vids!

Can't compare others, but did just complete my ZFG tune process. It was super easy with their app and module. Hardest part was finding an empty straight road to data log on, especially with the Thermal exhaust and downpipes not being very "stealth" lol. Crazy happy with how the tune came out...

Did the rear diff lube change at 900 miles. I'm glad I did. Magnets had collected some particles and the fluid had a grayish color to it already. When pouring could see the trails of gray .. what I believe is metal particulates the magnets didn't pick up. Glad I got that out with an early...

Did rear diff lube change to some Amsoil 75W-110 gear lube. Then installed the Steeda Rear diff brace. Such a nice looking beefy piece. I'm sure it does its job well. Install wasn't the most fun thing in the world threading the little blocks that get slipped up into the subframe. Now that I have...

I noticed the WOT smell during my wot runs for datalogging for my tune. At first I thought I broke something but then just figured it was stuff getting hot AF and is normal after driving for some time and everything was a-ok.

About 1K miles now on mine. Already upgraded and working with ZFG on tunes. My plan was to "wait a few years", then "wait till like 10K miles", then "F it I wanna play now". Plus doing a bunch of research that modern vehicles after a few hundred miles have all that they need in terms of "break...

Maybe instead of fancy PCM covers, the aftermarket guys should make a PCM cooling fan! :LOL:

So they are blaming the down-pipes causing heat melting a tube? Crap , just had downpipes installed, maybe I should have had them wrapped. Did you take any preventative measures after your ordeal?

Good to invest in even an inexpensive code reader. Even better a laptop, proper cable, and Forscan software. Otherwise you are pretty blind when it comes to knowing if the vehicle is aware of a problem itself. Very rare a simple fluid change will "fix" something, but it sounds like it needs to...

Greetings folks. Curious of folk's take on diff oil early change for its first change on a new vehicle. I always do an engine oil change around the first 800-1000 miles for good measure. Cheap and easy to do. Now I'm thinking about the diffs, especially the rear. Seems some folks have had to...

I'm about to install the Steeda diff brace, now I'm just a tad nervous if it may cause a problem when the whole reason I'm doing it is to avoid one!

I put my catch can on week one. Changed oil at 850miles. Catch can had about a tablespoon or so in it. More than I thought I'd find to be honest after only 850 miles. I guess thats normal. I'll check again after a few thousand more miles to see how its accumulating. I'm pretty happy with the...

The way I see it is you have your dealership problems of them not doing the proper diligence and checks on new vehicles they get from the manufacturer and of course service quality. Then you have the actual mechanical physical quality of the vehicles (on Ford). As for dealerships, I don't think...

You think they made it unhackable on 25 or do you think the setting has been moved or changed?

I just used Forscan to disable the auto/start stop , no dongle needed.
