    Warranty-Safe Performance Mods

    24' here and already did downpipes, exhaust, IC, and have ZFG tuner on the way. I was on the fence and was going to wait a few years. I even purchased the extended warranty. Decided on the IC right off the bat and figured how can they deny warranty providing the engine with safer air intake...

    Rear End Failure

    I find it hard I find it hard to believe stock power is destroying the ptu and diff so quickly even on replacements. Something else has to be going on. Driveshaft would be suspect , possibly bent, misaligned, causing damaging vibrations etc.

    Rear End Failure

    It is my understanding that the transfer case and differential are not indicated for routine maintenance (fluid changes). Do you suspect the "forever fluid" being as the culprit, quality , or design issue? I plan on changing fluids at 30K intervals like I used to do my subarus.

    Catch Can Contents

    I know its cheesy but AI created this list of potential causes for high crankcase pressure. Of course if that is what is actually going on here, seems plausible to force oil up and out of the PCV that way, but of course verify. Worn piston rings or cylinder walls: As engine components...

    Took the ZFG plunge

    I looked all around and was between goosetuned, zfg, and livernois. Besides now I haven't picked up on any negative vibes from ZFG and seemed there was a good consensus they are a solid outfit. I shied away from goosetuned because I don't like Cobb much and actually threw away my Cobb tuner and...

    Took the ZFG plunge

    So after getting the IC, downpipes, and exhaust I had told myself to wait awhile to get a tune installed on my 24' with only 800 miles. Well, apparently I'm super impatient and took a plunge and just ordered a ZFG DMS custom tune. I'm really intrigued with the drive modes switching. I also...

    Installation shop Charlotte?

    I did wind up using Pro-Dyno in Fort Mill, SC. Very reasonable and did a great job on the install. They had two guys on it and did it all in 4 hours (8 combined of course for pricing). Couldn't be happier with how she came out. Next is to sit on the fence on pulling the trigger on a tune. Just...

    CHARLOTTE ST OWNERS

    Oh dang, well my first mechanic fell through due to delay after delay. Just dropped it off at Pro-Dyno in Fort Mill this morning. They are a Ford performance shop that has worked on the explorer ST before. Can't wait to get her back. BTW what is an "indy" mechanic?
