    First Road Trip of the Year

    Where did you get the black ST overlays?

    4WD Fault Service Required

    I'm going to keep an eye on it over the next several days to see if it happens again. I was literally parked for a few minutes when it went off. Just one more potential issue along with a laundry list of other I've experienced. - Cats replaced - Flex pipes being replaced (back ordered) -...

    4WD Fault Service Required

    I had the vehicle in park after driving about 15 miles in a parking lot when a "4WD Fault Service Required" notification popped up on my dash. Took a picture, clicked okay, turned the vehicle off and back on again. Drove another 15 miles back home and never noticed anything nor saw the...

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    Quickest 1,400 mile road trip of my life in the fast lane the entire time :LOL:. Averaged 24/25 mpg at 80-85 mph the entire way. 9/10 move out of your way!

    Is the interior REALLY that bad??

    Definitely a vehicle by vehicle basis and subjective opinion. You pay for the performance of the ST and not the interior "luxuries." A lot of plastic, creaks and small nuance mis-fitment. I went from a luxury SUV that was way more refined from a interior perspective and it drove me a little nuts...

    ECM cover.

    What's the function of the cover? Or, is it just for aesthetic purposes?

    Wastegate Rattle??

    Do the flex pipes rattle at all?

    Wastegate Rattle??

    Thinking about purchasing the entire Thermal cat back exhaust that includes the flex pipes. This looks to be the one of the few true cat back exhaust systems out there compared to Borla, MBRP, etc. Do you know if the sound is more on the low growl spectrum? Don't want the investment to sound...

    Borla S Type vs MBRP Armor Pro

    Ford is in the process of replacing my flex pipes and they are currently on back order. Wondering if I should wait for those to be replaced before I have the exhaust installed. Would hate to take it in after I install and then Ford say they will not honor the warranty for the flex pipes.

    Borla S Type vs MBRP Armor Pro

    Debating on whether I install Borla vs MBRP. Looking for a low growl tone, no drone and family friendly when hauling the wife and kids around. Any suggestions?

    Wastegate Rattle??

    The worm clamp that they installed actually make the rattle worse!!! Do you have a link to the midpipes?

    Wastegate Rattle??

    Update.... Picked it up from the dealer. Rattle was the flex pipe and not wastegate. Worm clamp TSB did not work so new flex pipes have been ordered and back ordered of course. They mentioned it is a different OEM sku that has been updated to correct the issue to replace the factory installed...

    Wastegate Rattle??

    Took my ST into the dealer for an oil change and mentioned that I am hearing a rattle when passing parked cars, walls, etc. Pretty much anything that noise is going to reverberate off of when driving past. I mentioned I thought it could be the flex pipes, heat shields or another exhaust...

    Fords Catching Fire!!!!

    Just saw this article posted this morning recalling about 39,000 2021 Expeditions and Navigators for engine fires while the car is turned off. Ford say fires are limited to SUV's built from Dec 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021. They has advised to park outdoors and away from buildings but still "safe"...

    Phone slot mount?

    I have not but I have used the mount in the link below for about three years now. Best $9 spent for a mount. Bracket clips onto air vent and connects to a magnetic sticker that you place on the back of your phone. Super sleek and easy...

    Meguiars Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner

    Cheapest and easiest streak free window cleaner is to simply add a little bit of dawn dish soap (or any degreaser soap) to hot water and wipe down with a micro fiber. Better results than any glass cleaner I've used in the past.

    Idle flutter

    Yep, experience this almost on a daily basis especially when it is warming up and intermittently when warmed up. Also, it is way worse when the AC is turned on and idles rough. I have read a couple examples of Ford resetting the PCM but have yet to take it into the service department. Apparently...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    That's going to be 90 miles of fun on the way back!!!

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    So even with two bolts the recall is still valid I assume?
