    Fuel octane?

    And people say CA is bad... this is some sad sh**. (At least you can buy 93, but still) I hope other things in the state are good. o_O

    Fuel octane?

    That is the most outrageous gap I've ever heard of. I live in CA and never seen a gap like that. Thanks DeSantis! I would, of course, forgive the use of 89 in such terrible conditions. (I imagine 91 is a big jump too)

    Fuel octane?

    I don't understand how you think that highway driving, and limited piston use is the de facto reason why gas mileage does not increase with high octane/tuning. Let me make it simple. Hybrids function during initial take-off from stops because that is when vehicles are less efficient, right...

    Fuel octane?

    People pay good money to gain 5-10%, and fuel economy is a little better... it tells me it makes no sense to go low octane. ps, sales people not filling with 93 are shorting themselves on sales

    Install 360 camera after taking delivery of a 2023 Explorer ST

    You'll still need a module iirc. There used to be a company that sold something called a "lockpick", that would enable camera features, but I dont think they have one for newer models

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    There are far few details for me to jump onboard. Maybe if my wife owed me not one, but ten, and I didnt feel like trading it in on lingerie nights... :ROFLMAO:

    What is this doodad?

    "Daddy's reason for a vasectomy " .... :ROFLMAO:

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    He's right. You can see black bars to the left and right of the camera images. (NOT the bezel, but "light black", from it being the LCD) You can also tell from the warning writing at the bottom. Notice that on the Aviator, the writing ends to the left side of the 360 view because the video is...

    Waiting for tuuuune

    I didnt get a final tune yet. Unfortunately I wasnt done yet, but I'm oit of town for an extended time. I need to get back before I can do anything more.

    Front passenger LED strip went out..

    Check local junk yards if you need a replacement. But I would consider checking and cleaning all contacts, and wires, before doing that. If you can get it out and plug it into the other headlight pigtail, it might eliminate wiring questions from its original position.

    service issues

    To be fair, I had problems in my area LONG before COVID. There were only 2 service shops in a major metropolitan area - that gums everything up.

    Tire size question.

    Or you can leave it alone and get less tickets. showing 65 = 62? No real issue. What does it do, show improper MPG? Who cares. If you're calculating MPG from the dash, you're doing it wrong anyway. (Fill the tank all the way, drive, be at the same angle, fill it to the top again, Miles/Gallons...

    Exhaust system is junk

    If a dealer quote me $3k for an exhaust, I'd buy a Thermal, have ANYONE ELSE install it, and laugh the whole time my sexy exhaust made a note from then on.

    Plate name ideas

    I would consider: "ST ART" Kind of a 2-fer when it comes to meaning. :cool:

    2021 ford st explorer emblem led?

    Glowing white only. I'm sure someone will put film on it or something, but... :censored:

    Leftover 2023 ST - what is this sticker for in the glove box?

    It says " {something} shield". I imagine it is supposed to be one of those clear scratch-resistant stickers for paint/body parts. Maybe we all have one, but they forgot to peel the backing off of yours? /shrug

    GT500 front brake upgrade

    I'm just making jokes. Hell, in this GT500 fronts / street package rears setup the front is doing 90%... :ROFLMAO: The balance just isn't there. If you are that off-balance you can cause some serious braking issues. In low-friction scenarios like water/snow/ice/mud, the inherent nose-diving is...

    GT500 front brake upgrade

    Listen, this all solved if you do GT350 Fronts, as rears, with GT500 fronts. :geek: :ROFLMAO:

    GT500 front brake upgrade

    Absolutely right. I would not run a system so wildly unbalanced. You might as well have stock fronts with read drums... :LOL:

    Requesting opinions regarding "service/maintenance" relationship

    ps, dont ride oil to 10K, synthetic or not - that is crazy talk.
