    Navigation Screen showing half blank

    Sync 3.4 22251 strikes again... I believe hbalek has the same issue. It's likely the same issues many of us had with Sync 3.4 version 22251. Look at this link and scroll to the symptoms list: https://community.cyanlabs.net/t/ap...perform-master-reset-or-upgrades-updates/8858 See also...

    Modem and navigation issues

    Ford does suck. They know about the issue but no bulletin out to dealers? Dealerships don't seem to know about the issue and are charging diagnostic fees, replacing APIMs--great if you are under bumper-to-bumper warranty still but if out of warranty, you are screwed over a thousand dollars...

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    Good point. That is way far forward now. I'm sure there is reason for the move. It's too bad your right side wasn't replaced as well; for me, that flex section failed first despite the left side rattling more.

    Hard shift 3rd to 4th gear + 91 vs 87 octane

    Never mind the octane. A hard 3-4 shift is not normal. I'd get that checked out.

    Sync Issues

    If it works, it should take 25 minutes or so. Not sure if you tried this but in Sync3updater, to keep things simple, I only have the 22200 app package selected and deselected the gracenotes and voice for updating. If you have Forscan, you also might try jail breaking. It's not as daunting as...

    2024 FORD EXPLORER TIMBERLINE WILL USE 2023 FRONT END

    I'd be surprised if the headlights weren't the same as other 2024s. As for the design, the new 2024 front ends all use the Timberline-style fog lamp areas anyways.

    REPLACING REAR PADS ON ST

    i believe you need to put the electric parking brake in maintenance mode and exit when you are done. use forscan.

    Ford Performance Tune

    He means you don't qualify for the 3/36 warranty. Your 3 years have already passed. So go ahead and install it yourself. The odds of a tune-related problem that would negate your extended warranty are extremely small.

    Strange Brake Wear pattern

    I would do an aggressive bed-in procedure for brake pads. In fact, I try to do this periodically to avoid brake judder. It may help in your case where it looks like the pad has uneven wear on the rotor.

    30K Front axles replaced 2020 ST

    It's a MY2020 rite of passage... like the cracked downpipes. The replacement boots are slightly different so rest easy. Also, the entire axle half shaft is about $120 each or so and easy DIY swap, so don't worry about it.

    Current Average time to replace rear Diff under warranty?

    Wow. What was the problem? Surely it wasn't the diff mounts failing but something else?

    All black headlights on Ebay

    Thanks for taking one for the team. Ive always wondered about those. I've also seen taillights that have the dark tint like STs but then have actual product pics that are untinted. With eBay, I'd consider myself lucky if i got a return fully refunded.

    Question about radars

    I have an adhesive windshield mount for my R7 and mount it up high. I feel like a rearview mount is too conspicuous for both police and thieves.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    Do you have Forscan? You might want to reset the liftgate module. That happened to me: liftgate would not open from dash button or exterior liftgate. checked fuse. ended up resetting the module and it worked. you may also have some luck unplugging the battery for a few minutes.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    To be clear, your hands free liftgate no longer works? If so, check Sync settings to make sure it's active. I was referring to random liftgate opening including when you go to lock the car from the rear passenger doors from the outside.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    completely separate issues. chances are you have a 2020? there is a firmware update to the liftgate module that has helped the rear door lock activating the liftgate opening problem.

    Lethal mid pipes install

    fitment is definitely not perfect, especially in front. I could not get the downpipe tabs to engage much at all. That said, I don't believe I have any leaks after tightening everything up.
