    Ford Performance Tune

    I installed my FP Tune today and it went mostly smooth, thanks for the write up @deadhead20st ! I only drove it 3-4 miles so far and the throttle response seem snappier, I will drive it more this week and hopefully will it more during my commute. I did run into one problem, after the test drive...

    The Blue Oval

    If you're going to install an aftermarket intercooler these are pricy but very good quality: https://emblem-city.com/collections/2020-ford-explorer I installed the front emblem while the grill was off for the IC, the rear is pretty simple to install.

    Sport vs Eco mode (mpg)

    Making the engine breathe better increases the VE (Volumetric Efficiency), but the more air required equals the more fuel that will be injected to maintain stoichiometric AFR (Air Fuel Ratio). So additional loads like climbing a hill or carrying additional weight will require more fuel and that...

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    That would make too much sense:D:D!!! But I hope so too! I saw the smoke issue on mine about two months ago but haven't seen it since, I keep checking when I start it up and hope I don't to add it to the issues with the back up camera.

    We did Park City in October last year, it was a blast to drive their ST's and beat them up!

    H&R Spring variance.

    No worries, I'm in South Sac and am usually in Elk Grove since I work down there. The H&R's are only a little stiffer than stock but you notice it more when you hit larger bumps or potholes, but I think it's how it should ride from the factory. I installed the springs myself, but I'm an ASE...

    H&R Spring variance.

    One thing I noticed is the H&R's on our 2018 XLT 2.3L Ecoboost were much stiffer and the handling was more responsive, the H&R's on our 2021 seem softer and less responsive. It's perfect for us though, it's mostly used for running errands and roadtrips so I'm not complaining. Just an observation...

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    That's a clean look, and a good upgrade without looking modified.

    Ordered my 2022 Explorer ST in April and it came in June

    We also traded in our 2018 XLT with H&R springs and a 4cyl ecoboost, we loved it but the ST is amazing. Welcome!

    Back-up Camera Issues

    I was in your area back in May, if I get a chance to live in that beautiful place again I will take my ST to the same dealer you do!

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Does anyone have a copy of the original recall letter? I shredded mine and I thought it had the instructions to repair the unused pin on the connector, unless I'm wrong. Thanks!

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Two more visits and the blue screen returned within 24 hrs, now they say they will contact Ford Support and get back to me.

    Starting all over

    How do I get the 5% discount so I can place my order?

    Starting all over

    Yeah changing the adjustment is unneccessary except with the most extreme mods, but if they are good quality and an improvement over stock I may get them before my next alignment. Thanks for the feedback!
