    LED Turn Signal Bulbs

    You’ll get the hyper flash if you install LED’s that don’t have a built in resistor. If you do install those, then yes, you’ll need to use Forscan to disable hyper flash. Hyper flash is there to tell you that one of your standard turn signal bulbs is out. LED’s don’t have the resistance that...

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    That is NOT normal and do not accept that explanation from Ford. That’s one of the craziest “that is normal” excuses I’ve ever heard. Maybe that would make sense if one or more of the rear cylinders valve seals are leaking but still that’s not normal.

    Best use of Ford Pass points?

    I did the Console Vault and a bunch of oil filters.

    Double Honk Question

    Nope. Horn volume is what it is; on/off.

    Any 2022's Autostop Eliminated and/or FORScan'd yet

    Yep, I understand where you’re coming. Nothing wrong in playing it safe, that’s for sure. The only changes I made with FS is the double honk, fogs w/hi beams, LED’s and fake engine noise.

    Any 2022's Autostop Eliminated and/or FORScan'd yet

    If that’s all you’re planning on doing with ForScan then yes, just get the AS Eliminator and be done. But if you already use FS and you’re proficient enough with it, do it that way. There’s been a lot of attempts to use FS for this and no one has succeeded until now.

    Nice work! I may try that and then remove my SS eliminator.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    I too cut the water spots on the glass with 0000 steel wool. My glass was spotted since day one and even doing that, there’s still some spots I can’t get out; most likely etched.

    Drivability problem this morning, need opinions

    How many miles on it? After getting on it, the turbos do get hot and when new, there’s a burn-off smell but it also could be the defective weld on the exit side of the CAT. I believe there is a recall coming on this.

    Any 2022's Autostop Eliminated and/or FORScan'd yet

    Yeah, I think he knows about the button. I too don’t like this feature. The most harm on an engine is done at start up so why multiply that 10-20 times per trip. And like UpinBst said, it’s even worse for turbos. I did the Eliminator and I’d do it again too. Plus it’s gay LOL!

    Abusing an Explorer ST for science

    That’s right…that’s the way it should be too. I believe cops have a whole lot more performance training than one particular clown whom I’m sure has none.

    Just saying hi, New Member from WV

    Welcome! Good guys on this forum…lots of ideas. If you’re considering mods, look for “UNBROKEN”’s threads. He’s done a lot and has done it right.

    Police interceptor wheel pics

    Am I missing something about these PIU wheels and caps looking good? They have wannabe written all over them but I guess if you want people thinking you’re a cop, that’s a good thing.

    AC already going...?

    The AC compressor is either off or on, just like a residential unit. It shuts off when the pressure builds to a certain point and turns on when the pressure drops. The air temp coming out of the vents is regulated by mixing hot and cold air. If you feel the air getting cold when you turn it way...

    Console Vault

    I got mine from Ford and they also have the option of a 4-Dial combination lock, which is what I went with. I’d get that again too.

    Maybe even get some antennas for the top too. And a spot light on each side.

    Confused on packages

    They did that with the later ‘20’s too.
