    Anybody bring their ST on a road course?

    So I signed up for a track day on the 14th to take my C5Z to... I had the rear end rebuilt and the new gears were whiny so the shop is re-doing them and dragging their asses about it... so I might not have the C5Z back together in time... My buddies are suggesting I still go but run the ST so...

    Transmission issues update

    I don't think that's possible. All learning does is learn the pressures the trans can take or needs at various shift points for various gears to keep from slipping or grabbing to hard or fast. There isn't anything magic about it. There have been learning algorithms on transmissions for 30...

    Brakes squeaking

    Squealing right at the stop is a lot of time just pad vibration/harmonics. The anti-squeal lube stuff usually just try's to dampen that. Not that you should have to pull stuff apart, but its an easy thing to try and likely what your dealer will do... Smear some goop on the back of the pads and...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I think a lot of people have gone to tint shops and had tint laid on the headlights and tail lights to get that smoked look.

    Silicon blade... In theory much better life than a "rubber" blade(yes im aware most blades anymore arent likely solid rubber). For those of us in states where its routinely over 100 for months on end they should also hold up much better. I think they are rated for like -40 to +125 or...

    holy no airflow... That looks like it would block a solid 60%+ of the factory intercooler... huge NOPE...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I installed the Michelin Ensurance XT wiper blades last night after several months of frustration using the OE blades that left a big streak right in front of my face... been raining here for over a week and finally got fed up with it. Will drive it later today and report back.

    Cleaning The Engine Bay

    Everything under the hood is sealed with weatherpack connectors... there SHOULDNT be any issue with water intrusion into anything electrical... Ive been using hoses and pressure washers under hoods for a long time including on such cars as my 96 Corvette LT4 with the dreaded optispark which...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed the Steeda rear swaybar today... Man what a huge difference. I no longer feel like the Explorer is going to roll over going into some turns. VERY noticeable improvement... Now if the H&R springs I ordered over a month ago would come in...

    What would you pay for a '21 demo/loaner?

    AT LEAST $1 a mile off MSRP plus whatever Ford incentives are out... That was about the going rate I saw in March when we bought ours and I saw some "good deals" but when I called they were all demo's with 4-6k miles which didnt interest me.

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    I'm not an engineer, but I have worked on a lot of brakes on a decent variety of vehicles. USUALLY the flat on a caliper is to keep the brake line from turning from the orientation the manufacturer wants them to route when tightening the banjo bolt...or to simply ensure they are routing the...

    Is this possible?

    or it changed from adaptive to intelligent cruise(or vice versa, I cant remember which one will hold the posted/displayed speed).

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Only big bother for me is the steering wheel radio controls.... The volume and the "next/previous" buttons should be swapped... But maybe I am the only one that normally drives with just my left hand. I like to set the volume and then be able to skip around stations, songs, etc... with my...

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    If I wasnt trying to save up the $3k to do a set of C6Z06 brakes on my C5Z I would be all over these for the ST.

    Windshield Sunshade

    I bought the one from covercraft... Its a TIGHT fit... but the quality is top notch. Have them in all the cars. Order from Amazon as Covercraft direct screws you on shipping.

    Anyone familiar with this product?

    No need to come here with that kind of attitude that you are superior to the rest of us "run of the mill SUV owners who dont really know much"... So you think that a little device plugged into the OBD port can do what it claims? I would say you should order one and put your money where you...

    Anyone familiar with this product?

    I will admit I dont know all the ins and outs of OBD port speed. But as far as the device in question, I still say it dont do shit. It might be able to READ that data stream from the OBD, but I dont think the OBD port, in real time, can alter that signal. An ECU(in general terms) has what...

    Anyone familiar with this product?

    I am pretty certain the OBD port lacks the ability for this to take place... especially fast enough for it to actually have affect. If you have something like a scan gauge plugged in and to many parameters being monitored it cant update them fast enough. I understand this is an OBD port...
