Heck, I offered to pay out of pocket for a replacement four bolt subframe to be installed on mine and the dealer came up with reasons why they “couldn’t do it”. At least they offered that they would “look into doing it under warranty“ if I would happen to break the bolt along with all the other...

So for those who may have followed instructions for the first time in their lives, would the fix be to reset the transmission tables and drive the vehicle like you should have in the first place?

Thanks TMac. Appreciate your insight versus my WAG on it. I’m assuming that the wear on the isolator from rotation also impacts the two front isolators but to a lesser extent.

The bolts are the same (at least according to the parts numbers) but the mount they go into looks different between the passenger and driver’s side. The metal on the passenger side bushing looks thicker and the rubber around it thinner. I would think that combination would be more resistant to...

Thanks for the link. Interesting and if there was a stock of mislabeled subframes, it explains why we got the 3 bolt subframes for a period of time. The other thing that is irritating about having the 3 Bolt subframe (looking at the picture of the 4 bolt subframe that Crusing68 had in his...

I’m assuming that the part/engineering numbering on the subframe is on a sticker and not stamped into the frame.

Here’s the link to the part: https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-cross-member-assembly-mb5z5035e Hope you have better luck than I did.

Since the ST was at the dealer for routine maintenance, I gave the tech the part number for the two bolt rear subframe and asked for a cost estimate for replacing the current one bolt one with the two bolt one. Answer came back that their “transmission expert” looked and said that “you can’t...

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried running e30 in the Ford Performance Tune? I know that the Auto Octane and 91-93 Octane ZFG tunes are able to handle it but wonder if the Ford tune could as well.

Sorry to hear the project is being shelved as it certainly was interesting to follow but understand.

Another thank you to @randyknight for his video. Replacement part arrived at noon and the install was up and running in less than an hour including the Forscan work. Didn’t pull the display and vents as the top clips actually came out easier than expected with a little coaxing. It was...

With the comments about what a PITA those top clips are, it may be easier to just pull the display and vents first and then go after those parts. Guess I’ll find out this weekend as I attempt to install the climate control that I ordered from Levittown Ford that is supposed to get here on...

Looks like they used the UPR letters for a template and used something like this to cut it out. https://glowforge.com/ The UPR letters are the way to go. I only wish they offered them in Blue.

Thanks for the response and the code. Like I said, photos can be tricky when it comes to distance between things. So good to hear that there is room as once installed, I’d rather leave it in place. I was actually happy to see drain and fill holes on the ST when I was crawling under to see if it...

The brace looks great but I’m wondering how the access to the rear differential fluid fill plug is? it’s tough to tell from the photos but while they accommodated the drain plug, it looks like the fill location is pretty well hidden after installation. Any thoughts on that @UNBROKEN or anyone...

Good luck getting a replacement key fob from the dealer. I’ve been waiting for a replacement under the extended warranty for three months. They received the fob body but are waiting for the key portion of the fob to come back in stock. Fortunately, I did get two fobs when I purchased the...

Congratulations on the new ST and it having the two bolt (well really four but who’s counting) rear assembly. Wish my early 2022 build (first week of production) had it but was glad to just get the vehicle. :)

Challenge accepted… :D Just kidding. Glad to hear that you were able to get the necessary help and that Bertha is back amongst the living and your wife isn’t going to have to terminate you. I’ve been there and faced that threat level and it’s no fun.
