    Sync 3 software update downloading

    interesting. Maybe they did pull 20282. I think it was a worldwide release though. You could also get it from cyanlabs but you do have to follow the instructions very carefully if you do.

    Sync 3 software update downloading

    Ford Owner site: owner.ford.com There's a box that says Update Sync 3. Just follow that. That's how I updated to 20282

    MPG in Sport, ECO and Normal Modes

    In city driving, I can get one or two more gears available in normal mode but seem to be limited to 6 in Sport. But at highway speeds, all 10.

    Oil Vacuum Tank For Changing Oil

    https://www.amazon.com/OEMTOOLS-24938-Pneumatic-Manual-Extractor/dp/B07N7X4TP9?ref_=ast_sto_dp This is the one I use on my ST. It works great through the dipstick. Just don't get one that is too small. Our ST has 6 qt of oil. Doing the oil change completely from above takes much less time...

    Lane Centering issues.

    For whatever reason, sounds like the lane centering needs to be recalibrated. I have a steeda drop too and don't notice anything different. I do notice that the 360degree cameras are off a little bit now--just not big enough to get them recalibrated.

    Trying to find a place to do Mods

    I'd say most Ford dealers will do just about anything you want. They are already working on high performance Mustangs.

    2020 ST vs. 2021 BMW X5 4.0

    ST stock is not that fast. X5 40i is almost certainly faster. BMW is notorious for underrating engine power. That said, X5 is a smaller vehicle and you'd expect it would be easier to make it handle better and go faster.

    Wind buffeting sound

    Nope. Pretty quiet. Is it speed related? Any of that effect at a standstill? I recall someone having that issue related to malfunction of the subwoofer.

    *Sold*...question if may?

    There will be a lot more on the market as time goes by. 20% of Explorers sold are STs. That's alot. And knowing that for $1600 the street package upgrades the wheels AND calipers/pads, most would be hesitant to pay over $2000 as a matter of principal--even if you sold the base 20" set for $1000.

    *Sold*...question if may?

    Given that these are pretty much new take-offs, I'd say they are worth $1800-2000.

    Black Friday Steeda sale.

    I'm surprised you didn't get a fed ex tracking notice today. IIRC, got mine in 4 days (not including order day).

    2021 ST finally arrived!!

    congrats! you don't waste any time... I would also add that Steeda rear sway bar is almost mandatory.

    2018 Explorer Sport Wheels on ST

    Center bore just needs to be equal or larger. My 18" KMC winter rims have 72.6mm center bore and very thin hubcentric rings. Any place that sells rims can get you the appropriate hubcentric rings.

    2018 Explorer Sport Wheels on ST

    Plenty of us run 18" wheels with our ST with street pack. Just make sure the specs are OK. You cannot use the previous generation OE wheels for the aforementioned reason but if aftermarket, double check the center bore.

    Navigation update won't listen to me

    Your nav installation is incomplete, most likely leaving off the voice package. It should reboot twice if I recall. If you do a search of the other forum, you can find instructions to upload just the right files or you can try to reinstall the entire thing.

    Tuning for dummies

    Yes. shifts are now fast and firm. You can really tell the difference if you manual shift a lot because you know exactly when the shift is being requested. When in manual shift also, it will stay in gear when you get on throttle rather than downshift. It will still upshift when you hit...

    Tuning for dummies

    I am saying whatever tune you get will be running for all modes (eco, normal, sport, slippery, trail, etc). I have Livernois and they caution you not to tow on their performance tune. They have another tune for towing but you have to spend a few minutes to load that tune.

    Tuning for dummies

    Whatever tune you're using affects all modes. To me, the transmission tuning that can be done is just as important as the engine tuning. Also, if you do any towing, some of the performance tunes are not recommended for towing and you should switch over to a tow-friendly tune when you tow...

    Sync Screen Glitching/Flickering

    Reminds me of the TSB: FORD TSB #SSM 49245 Some 2020 Explorer/Aviator vehicles built on or before 30-Sep-2020 may experience an intermittent or constant blank/black screen on the center infotainment display due the low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) cable at the SYNC accessory protocol...
