    Leaking transmission

    It still hasn't returned. I'm going to conclude that it was front diff fluid, hopefully that helps anyone else with this common leak.

    Active leak

    Spray it with some brake cleaner or degreaser and see if it returns. It looks like Mercon ULV (trans fluid) but I have no idea how it would end up all the way back there. Maybe you ran over a bottle of trans fluid somewhere?

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    I just put these in, was very easy. So far I've only taken it around the block, but I can already feel a difference. Have you ever rode a skateboard that had the trucks too loose, and then tightened them? That's what it feels like now. Much better.

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    You don't HAVE to. I kept my portrait vents. I access the dials just fine.

    Thermal R&D 2.5" installed

    Same here, my driver's side on the 3" is not perfect. I need to adjust it but it's so cold.

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    It doesn't look like it does, or they just didn't update their site. I'd ask them. I have a feeling they don't. The new tips are 3" diameter, not 2.5".

    Leaking transmission

    I cleaned it thoroughly with some brake cleaner and engine degreaser, it hasn't returned so far. I think it may have just been residual oil from when I had the FADA leak addressed a few months ago.

    Search function

    Is there any way to allow the search function to accept strings that are 3 characters? There are a lot of abbreviations that could h searched for, but since they're only 3 characters, it doesn't work. For example, TSB, BOV, CDF, etc.

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    I was strongly considering the AWE, but I ultimately went with the Thermal. I'm very pleased with it. There's no drone when cruising, and it has a nice deep tone. From sound clips, the AWE sounds a little more "exotic" and deep. I chose thermal because I have their 3" on my focus st, and I...

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    There is black Friday pricing all November, bringing the 2.5" to 1200.

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    I just installed the 3" last night. My driver side downpipe ripped. It's hanging on by a thread. Even with that huge leak, the exhaust system is pretty quiet when not getting on it.

    Catalytic Converters

    Mine cracked yesterday while installing a Thermal 3" exhaust. I know it's covered under warranty, but do you think they would turn me away due to the catback? I have a set of Whoosh DPs, do you think it would be hard to find a dealer that would be willing to throw those on instead?

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    Yes, it will work. Ford often has multiple part numbers for the same part. Sometimes it is a revision. The Aviator display does work with the original vent from the 10" portrait version. I hear that there is better fitment and better access to the vent dials if you switch to the 8" version...

    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    I hope mine goes that smoothly. Mine came in today!

    A different approach to the Lincoln Screen Swap.

    Just curious why you went with that screen, isn't it also 8" like the OEM Explorer one?

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    Do you have any pics of how this looks? Is this a permanent change once you do it?

    Fluid temperatures

    After driving some more, I've observed that my temps are just fine on the highway, but start to rise once my speed is reduced. I think my radiator fan might not be working, I'll have to look into it.

    Rear End Failure

    Yup. I have this sound on mine too. I will get around to addressing it one day...

    Sync 4 13.2"

    How does this mount up? Do you need to make your own bracket?

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    I don't know if I got a defective unit or what, but the connector and the plug are very finicky. I have to push it up a certain way and it must not budge. Sometimes I get no screen on, and no touch, and have to wiggle the connector to make it work again.
