98% of slotted and ESPECIALLY drilled rotors are junk and will crack. 99% of slotted and drilled rotors is appearance. The purpose of both is not so much cooling but gas relief, which with what we are doing isnt a problem. Ive actually gone THE OTHER WAY on a few vehicles that come from the...

Check out this 11 page thread over on explorer forum. It has a lot of good info in it. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/sync-3-4-most-recent-version.487716/

Nobody is using them for daily wheels I dont think. Most people buy them as a "cheap" option to throw winter tires on... which you being in FL and me being in TX, we have zero need for winter tires...

Sorry im not spending $25 bucks to get a report of oil I will never use again filled with crap from the break in process. I have never sent factory fill oil in before. NOW if you want to spend the $25 for my factory oil sample at Blackstone, ill be glad to send it in. I got a few kits in my...

That's only part of it. But at almost 80 bucks an oil change with Amsoil if I can go at extra 3-5k miles safely I'll take it. The bigger part is long term trend monitoring though.

I will. It will be a year or so I guess. I'm not going to send the factory fill as it won't be a good indicator of my real oil choice.

Y'all should run oil analysis. $20 or whatever from blackstone. I think you'll be shocked at the results and how long you can run oil for. I basically don't run anything less than 10k miles anymore. My old man had an 07 dodge ram 2500 cummins and he ran an Amsoil bypass filter setup on it...

Washed it and debadged the Explorer letters(my wife liked them, I like it without) and the ST badges front and rear. Thinking ill get a black ST badge for the front because of the grill being molded for it.

My 2021 Carbonized Grey has a non-painted shark fin, but again it blends in.

Your Explorer is at the Ford dealership right? Just let them replace them. Guarantee they have them on the shelf. Might cost more than what you can buy them for online, but whatever. Oh I see you are in Germany... maybe they dont have them then, but I would assume they can source them

It has nothing to do with mileage on the bolts... They are TTY(torque to yield) i.e. they stretch when they are torqued(the torque spec is usually something like xx ft. lbs then xxx degrees). They are "officially" a 1 time use bolt. I can see a Ford dealership not wanting to re-use them and in...

I'm an admitted Amsoil fanboy and dealer so I will be using them. For an on the shelf, paper element oil filter I generally recommend Wix if Amsoil doesnt have a filter. Wix is the OEM for a bunch of manufacturers. For a long time Amsoil(Baldwin/Hastings is their manufacturer) was one of the...

Its not conjecture. There is more than enough evidence across A LOT of different platforms that custom tunes make more power than canned tunes. A tune that has to work on 100% of the vehicles everywhere is going to be way more toned down than a custom tune so that it doesnt cause issues that...

Not necessarily. I believe ZFG has you send log files and then he updates them into a more custom tune for your vehicle. I do not believe Livernois does this, at least not as an "included" feature of using their services. They may do it for more cost. So ZFG is a more custom tune vs...

yes they fit. do some searching and you will find your answers.

Fords other "2 tone" interiors in the platinum are not good so if they offered something it would likely be a terrible shade of red anyway that nobody would like. We looked at the tan interior platinum and I counted at least 5 shades of brown. Had they put the brown seats in with an otherwise...

What kind of torque spec are you all getting to when installing? I just ordered some h&r's and will be installing next week hopefully.

They are good quality from what I could tell. Match to the wheels was good enough. The other ones people suggest are twice as expensive... But it would be hard to argue twice as nice.

Let me rephrase where I went real quick because what I clicked on is actually still there. If you hover over "custom tuning" and then click "ford" when it pops up, that was what I was seeing and still see. I dont know that I ever went to the main "custom tuning" page which is where the above...

google has nothing to do with it. That was not there before. Last time I was on there(maybe a week ago) it was 3 blank icons that did nothing. It is dated Feb 1, but definitely not there as of then. Anyway, I sent a message via that portal now to get on the list.
