    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    So I brought my Explorer back it to the dealer to have the bolt checked. The tech confirmed that the rear axle bolt is definitely bent and they ordered a new one. As he was loosening the bolt you could see the rubber grommet moving up and down as he was turning it. The tech says Ford claims...

    Catalytic converter recall letter arrived

    Is the recall just on Explorer's with the 3.0L? I haven't received anything is it going out for everyone at some point or just a certain batch of vehicles?

    Fuel Spit-back and TSB 22-2176

    Wow didn't know anyone was having an issue with it spitting back. I have a problem every time at the pump filling up as it clicks off after a few seconds. The only way to get it to keep filling is pull it out a couple inches or turn it upside down. All the pumps by me have a rubber grommet...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Finally got my Explorer back on Tuesday since it's been at the dealer since late October. Ordered the ID Speed rear diff brace while I was waiting for it to be finished. Had it installed today. The mechanic said one bolt was a little difficult to get in at the top so he loosened the main...

    Considering ZFG Racing Tune

    If your starting from scratch just go ZFG. I had an X4 that I used to tune my 2 previous Explorer Sports. I was going to go ZFG but decided to try out Gearhead Tuning and use my old X4. For less than $200 you can best believe ZFG to me isn't worth an extra $700 as I'm broke lol. If the...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Lol. I've seen one or two 2020's out there but not at my precinct. Most of the ones at my precinct are 2016's. We finally just put a 2015 to rest in the beginning of October. Florida's tax dollars are probably funding law enforcement but not up here in liberal NY . Just counting down the...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    At least you have new interceptors. Our newest one is a 2017. We aren't breaking any rear ends in those as the tranny's slip in most of them lol

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    I just had my 2021 ST break the rear bolt yesterday with only 9050 miles on it. Wife was driving it accelerating from a stop sign pretty close from my house when the bolt snapped. She wasn't launching as she had the kids n she doesn't launch it to begin with. She limped it home n parked it...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Yeah I just looked at the picture again and noticed it. Now I gotta have this thing towed to the dealer and see how long it will take to fix. I need to buy that ID speed axle brace that Unbroken has spoke about. I had it in my cart at Lethalperformance and was waiting on black Friday lol

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Looks like my axle bolt just broke under normal driving conditions my wife said she was just accelerating normally down the street leaving the house and all of a sudden there was a horrible sound and she turned around and drove home. The kids said it sounded like something broke almost like it...

    WTB AWR Rear Diff Mount

    No I see that it's a quality piece. Do you not think the AWR is also decent quality for it's price? I wish I had more of a budget to mod but this is my wife's daily and I already modded my other 2 cars lol
