    2025 Ford Explorer ST Front End Popping Noises at Low Speeds

    Seems everyone is experiencing repeat occurrences with the OEM struts. Has anyone ventured into the aftermarket equivalent? I'm inclined to price Bilstein, Steeda, Monroe etc. With all the autos that I've owned, I've never had to replace struts and I've driven most of them 240,000 mi. That's...

    Stock turbo draggy runs! 11.06 on e85 and 11.55 on 93.

    Those #s are smokin' with no ethanol and minor upgrades!

    E50 ZFGR tune 558 whp and 11.32 @120 full weight draggy!

    Would be interesting to know where you got the extra little HP gains.

    Tuning

    Yes, power is accumulative. It all depends on what you may settle for in HP/$. Over 2K is a bit of expense for 25HP and some growl but if you have that to play with ...

    Adaptive cruise control relocation

    I would think that would confuse calibration of the ACC.

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    Thanks!

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    Drawing a blank here. Can you refresh me on FBO? Thanks! :)

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    Thanks. Kinda figured the 3" pipe variety would add some in cabin sound but just wasn't sure how much difference the muffler/resonator combo would counter the volume.

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    From what I gathered in this thread, the 2.5" is quieter but ... is it a performance upgrade or just a sound enhancer? Isn't the stock exhaust a 2.5"? My goal is to make sure the Stage 5 turbos and DPs are breathing better but at the quietest choice.

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    Thanks for the info on these choices! Being as I have Stage 5 turbos and DPs, I'm looking to go to a higher performance than stock exhaust. That points me toward the 3" variety. Question is, can I get that upgrade "without" increasing the in cabin volume? I saw flhx06 mention that the AWE is not...

    Transmission Fluid Dipstick Option?

    I would like to go a step further. I'm thinking more of a sending unit that will tap into the dipstick housing. It would not only relay the fluid level to a gauge but will also double as a thermostat to make sure the temp is within spec for the reading. Although, there is already a temp sending...

    Transmission Fluid Dipstick Option?

    Actually, it's about both. OP inquired about the part. RayJay recommended a custom.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Firstly, I'm trying to decipher whether you have a 2020 with 54 kilometers or 54K miles. I'm thinking you've used "km" in both cases in your post but I'll let you clear that up for us. ;) It does sound like an alternator problem and you were running on battery alone. Your engine was...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Is why I don't deal with Stealerships! I bought an extended warranty that accepts any authorized service center so I can bring the vehicle to any trusted mechanic that stands behind their work. In your case, I would have been all the way up to ford corporate to rectify this chaotic clusterflock...

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    Yes to both. I don't have a trans brake and do try to keep up maintenance. So far, it's been pretty tight. (crossing fingers) Abusive driving is kept to a minimum. Spirited driving consumes only 20% drive time.

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    Def makes more sense ... but I can forget about having a "reputable transmission shop" in my area. I couldn't even get half the places I called to check the trans fluid level. Getting the parts before hand sounds key. I would still bring it to Level 10 in NJ as they would have experience in...

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    With the mods I have, I would lean more towards 550-575hp on 93. If I put ethanol in it, ZFG predicts 625-650 to the wheels. Was thinking of getting a used 10R60 and sending it to a rebuild company then keep it on standby.

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    Well right off the bat, I wouldn't consider the mods I've done as treating the trans right. lol The only thing I can attest to treating this one right is keeping the fluid clean by exchange and as Adam from ZFG recommended, keeping it slightly over full. His tune programming will do the rest...

    ST Freakin' Out?

    Yes, I have version 3.4, build 23188.
