    Rear End Failure

    Maybe another case of them installing a diff type with the wrong "ratio". I can see that messing up the PTU, things not spinning at the right speeds when the vehicle mechanical and electrical systems expect them to be pushing things to the point of failure. Mental note , if I ever need a new...

    Engine Oil

    Wix XP if you are doing 5000+ mile intervals for changes. It is designed for extended drain. It actually filters smaller particles less efficiently as a sacrifice to be able to continue flowing through extended drain intervals and not go into bypass mode too early. This way it can still pick up...

    Rear End Failure

    I'm wondering if this is some kind of alignment issue (or rather misalignment) of the drive shaft , diff mounts, etc, basically everything connected to the diff. Unless you won the worst lottery and got two terribly defective rear diffs I'm at a loss. Where the bearings screwed at all, which...

    How to clean/treat dashboard?

    Been using 303 forever now, gave up looking for anything better when it comes to protectants. As for general cleaning I'm loving Chemical Guys "Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant". It says it has some kind of protectant qualities also. I'll use this for normal cleanings of all things interior...

    Review: Thermal R&D 3" Catback

    I have downpipes and the 3" thermal. I can easily go light on the gas for neighborhood driving without her sounding too obnoxious. Sure if you goose it to get on a main road or something, yea no stopping that sweet symphony! As for the family , my wife and daughter like it. Highway driving is...

    P-0455 - Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system, gross leak.

    I wouldn't doubt if its the evap purge valve. There's other threads with other codes this thing can cause.

    2021 Ford Explorer ST .... The neverending nightmare?

    Would appreciate more details on specifically what was wrong with the wiring and what caused it if they give you more information.

    Went with a SCT BDX tuner

    ZFG DMS tune + choice of intercooler upgrade is my vote. Do the IC first if you can't do it all at once, IMHO its a necessity. The stock unit they installed should be a crime. From my research here and around the net, exhaust upgrades seems to be for fun or to get away from frequently breaking...

    Engine Oil

    You will be fine with any oil as long as it has SN or SP(newer) API spec. There are specifics for DIT engines that matter with these grades. Also extended drain is possible, but greatly depends on the type of driving and oil used. Me personally even with some of the best oils (I use Amsoil...

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    Agreed, would love to do this but I see this as a $1000 upgrade, not a $3K.

    Installation shop Charlotte?

    Welp I went all out and even got a ZFG tune so I'm in up to my neck. Taking a gamble big time, but wow the ST is a beast now. So much fun to drive.

    Livernois vs ZFG

    Can't compare others, but did just complete my ZFG tune process. It was super easy with their app and module. Hardest part was finding an empty straight road to data log on, especially with the Thermal exhaust and downpipes not being very "stealth" lol. Crazy happy with how the tune came out...

    Diff oil early change on new vehicle?

    Did the rear diff lube change at 900 miles. I'm glad I did. Magnets had collected some particles and the fluid had a grayish color to it already. When pouring could see the trails of gray .. what I believe is metal particulates the magnets didn't pick up. Glad I got that out with an early...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Did rear diff lube change to some Amsoil 75W-110 gear lube. Then installed the Steeda Rear diff brace. Such a nice looking beefy piece. I'm sure it does its job well. Install wasn't the most fun thing in the world threading the little blocks that get slipped up into the subframe. Now that I have...

    Smell during WOT, I’m concerned…

    I noticed the WOT smell during my wot runs for datalogging for my tune. At first I thought I broke something but then just figured it was stuff getting hot AF and is normal after driving for some time and everything was a-ok.

    Break in period …..

    About 1K miles now on mine. Already upgraded and working with ZFG on tunes. My plan was to "wait a few years", then "wait till like 10K miles", then "F it I wanna play now". Plus doing a bunch of research that modern vehicles after a few hundred miles have all that they need in terms of "break...
