This isnt the only recall to be worried about We are so lucky be crowned recall champions! https://fordauthority.com/2023/12/ford-takes-most-recalled-manufacturer-crown-for-2023/

I regularly talk to the Engineers on the Police Product Team. They advised us that the modules are constantly updated when they get feedback from dealers who do warranty work and then Ford Engineering gets the service records for repeat issues. When I took the tour at CAP the Plant Manager was...

Thats a great thread thanks, love to do my own but the gear and software is too expensive....maybe I just pay the dealership an hour of shop time and get them all done.

The Bosch MasterTech is $1500-$2000 depending where you look.......yikes!

How do you do your own updates? I asked one of the Engineers if they could dial in to my vehicle if I connected a computer through OBD2 and then he RDP in through Windows. I was told each module has an encryption key thats exchanged so it wont work.

Interesting thing came up today during some discussions with Ford about the PIU software updates. As has been mentioned here before lots of complaints about Hybrid PIU Hesitation and lack of acceleration during sudden throttle input. Most if the time this is due to the PIU not having its PCM...

Thats interesting because I called Ford Performance Tech Support Line today and asked about updates for the CAL I have in my ST and the guy said the CAL has never been updated since its release.

The PIU has a 75MPH rear crash rating because it has the extra X bracing that the regular Explorers dont have. Many on this forum have added that X brace there are some very good threads on this project. No other OEM in the Police business has this. It came out of the big lawsuit years ago after...

Your absolutely right. Lot Rot is a real thing, I can just imagine those rear brakes being released after 6 months with that ridiculous software that engages parking brake on flat ground. I went away for two weeks and upon driving mine for the first time the parking brake release was like a...

That is absolutely unacceptable, I would request to speak to the Regional Ford Rep about this circumstance. That dealership needs a wake up call.

Beautiful........What color is that?

Ya I agree, very few BASE ST's sitting around. Most are sold with Tech Pak, Street Pak, and Moonroof. That's now a $60,000USD/$70,000CAN Explorer ST.

I was running the FP Tune with Chevron 94 but recently switched to Shell 93 and I believe its better performance and mileage. Anecdotal at this point, no science to back that up.

Im told its hardware and there will be no upgrade.......SYNC3 is a poorly executed legacy system that should have been End Of Life before this generation of Explorer was released.

My 21 ST has the engine cover. Might be 2022 Model year delete

Sure, the proof is a fully loaded Explorer ST or Platinum is creeping towards MSRP of $65-$70,000 depending on where you live. That vehicle while being very expensive continues to lose content along with unacceptable quality issues. Please show me another OEM that has had a year long 360/RVC...

I stand corrected there was some flooding in one of the yards. I reached out to a contact at the plant apparently flood damage was a very small amount of vehicles but there was some that had to be sent back for part exchange and then a few that got scrapped.

That is the most ridiculous story I have ever heard, Chicago had no flooding The vehicle was damaged somehow and that's their story. So after waiting 10 months they want you to take one of the stock vehicles off their lot even though its not exactly what you ordered? If it were me I would be...

After doing this latest update i tried to use voice commands for Navigation system. After saying "Navigation" the system responded with "This feature is not available until the mapping software is updated" Never heard that before.

IMHO DON'T TAKE THE TRIM OFF.......I took one off and broke one of the clips. Tried to find that part (clip) and they don't exist in the Ford system. I reached out to friends at CAP who access the part purchase program for the plant and they said your SOL. To the point of going to the Tier 1...
