Noticed that turn signal thing when I was on my various test drives. Glad it wasn't just me lol

Ordered mine on January 15th (well they submitted it a week later). I was told at that time it is an 8-12 week wait, approximately, and so far I haven't even been given a VIN or a build date or any other updates so I believe them when they forecast the 8-12. Someone else I know who recently...

Ah I see. Thank you.

Done.

Glad to see you’ve got new wheels. I don’t have mine yet as it’s on order and I don’t even have a build date or any details yet, but I’m curious of what you mean by “B” late build.

I second this.

This link SHOULD open right up to where it needs to be. Let me know if it doesn’t. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2020,explorer,3.0l+v6+turbocharged,3444717,engine,oil+filter,5340

I see that on other things too. Sometimes my phone's GPS does weird stuff, other times at work when I have a bunch of trucks on scene at a call and one of them is randomly doing circles a block away but it's actually parked. Also seen trucks show up in the middle of the lake, and I can guarantee...

Most likely since the Lincoln is a luxury model, no doubt they want the owners to barely lift a finger to do anything, even something as simple as lifting the hood to add washer fluid. With that being said, the Explorer ST is still not cheap, and you would think for $50-60k that they might be...

I remember hearing stories from years ago of assembly line workers hiding random objects inside the frame rails of cars they built. One was a bottle with a note inside it that, when eventually discovered, was purported to say something along the lines of "Now you know what the knocking noise...

Glad someone came up with these. My ST hasn't been built (that I know of) or delivered yet, but I took a look under the hood of all three that I test drove and couldn't believe they went with a prop rod in such a terrible location. I guess, in theory, since the new hood releases are the two-pull...

Shit happens.

Did that once during my service tech years. Didn't make for a good time. Had to learn the hard way to always gently put the wiper arm back down lol.

Well that's not all that encouraging since I just ordered one to be built; guess I'll be waiting a bit lol

I generally try to let whatever vehicle I'm driving warm up just long enough for the oil to be circulated fully and for the high idle to drop down to normal. A couple minutes in most conditions. If it's actually cold out, 5-10 minutes. If it's mega, mega, mega cold, 10-20.

I'd be interested to know where those were obtained.

With so many electronics, solenoids, motors, etc. in cars now, I have learned from experience that some weird noises are pretty much to be expected. My soon-to-be-previous car's electronic throttle has made a loud electronic whining and clicking for a minute or two after the engine is shut off...

"Not bad", "Pretty comfy", "Good seating position", *got onto highway onramp and went from 30kph to 120kph by the time I hit 2/3rds of the way up the ramp* "HOLY SH*T"

Interesting stuff. I hope that remains your permanent fix!

I read or heard somewhere that it was to maintain the appearance of the tips, so they wouldn't get discolored or stained.
