    20 ST

    These things have good power stock and I’m leaving mine that way. Car manufacturers HATE tuners and will deny warranty claims when applicable and they will. Looks nice in black, BTW. Especially when it’s just been detailed. I’ve had my share of black cars and I’m so OCD that they drove me crazy...

    How many miles did your Explorer ST have when you bought it?

    6 miles. I didn’t want one that had a bunch of hard driven test driving miles.

    Heater takes a very long time to start warming

    Thanks. I’m aware of the 3 auto fan speeds. It takes a good 30-40 minutes to start blowing warm air. That’s why I thought the thermostat might be sticking open. I appreciate everyone’s comments.

    MPG in Sport, ECO and Normal Modes

    If you tap the + paddle shifter, it’ll show you what gear your in. When you paddle shift to go to a higher gear in any of the modes, the next gear up will blink if you’re not going fast enough for that next gear. So if 8 blinks, you know you’re in 7th. Or you can just press “M” for Manual mode...

    Heater takes a very long time to start warming

    I actually took it to the dealer to check this. My first thought was that the thermostat might be stuck open but the service guy said it was definitely not stuck, otherwise it would have thrown codes. The coolant temp gets to just short of halfway in the normal amount of time like 10 minutes but...

    MPG in Sport, ECO and Normal Modes

    I don’t believe that it will shift past 8th gear in Sport mode. Your cruising RPM’s will be higher therefore less MPG. At least that’s what I’ve seen at freeway speeds. Maybe it will shift up at higher speeds.

    Who new the exhaust tips on the Explorer ST were fake?

    I bet that’s the fix for carbon monoxide entering inside the car. Washington State Police had a few cases of officers falling asleep at the wheel and that’s how they found it.

    How to stop Speed Limit icon from blinking

    Thanks I found it, just where you said. I swear I looked there before. That speed warning was driving me crazy!

    How to stop Speed Limit icon from blinking

    There has to be away to override the over speed limit warning, right? I haven’t found anything in the OM.

    check your tire pressures

    Yep. Mine were all at 40. Brought them down to 35. Too high and they’ll wear in the center, plus ride is poor.

    Front License Plate Bracket

    3/16 drill through the middle and pull the plastic rivet straight out. Just did mine and ordered plugs to match.
