    Thermal midpipes keep coming loose

    Will absolutely do that if a simpler, less permanent method doesn't work.

    Thermal midpipes keep coming loose

    Anyone running a Thermal 3" having problems with the midpipes backing off of the stock downpipes? I've re-tightened several times, and most recently got it to the shop to have the bolt torqued to hell. The "nipple" on the stock downpipe is causing quite a bit of vibration when the pipes back off...

    How many miles did your Explorer ST have when you bought it?

    85 miles on my 2022. Wonder where they came from.. Are the dealerships the ones driving them around?

    Second Row Seat Rattle

    Wouldn't surprise me either. My liftgate plastic panel wasn't even snapped in fully, I can hear a cable vibrating in there when I go over bumps.

    Second Row Seat Rattle

    I'm missing the same felt shield bolt lol. My 2022 is barely assembled. Loose interior and exterior panels, missing screws, ABS sensor not fully seated, seat trim pieces missing hardware, liftgate rattling because it wasn't fully assembled... Having a hell of a time with her :)

    Transmission issues update

    Thanks for this. I'm experiencing similar symptoms - no shift from 1st to 2nd and I appear to be bouncing off the rev limiter, which is disengaging the transmission temporarily, and sometimes forcing the vehicle into limp mode. Mine is a 2022.

    Transmission issues update

    My 2022 is doing this. No shift to second gear, losing throttle/transmission stall for a few seconds. Sometimes enters limp mode. Were you able to get a diagnosis/solution?

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    My vehicle went into limp mode today after accelerating from stop. No launch this time, just smash and go.

    "See Manual", Temp Limp Mode on Launch

    Managed to pull it after resetting my RTD+. I posted on the other thread but can't figure out how to delete this one.

    "See Manual", Temp Limp Mode on Launch

    Thanks man. Hanging in there for when my TDN/RTD+ can manage to pull codes or datalog. Functionality has been an absolute mess since the new iOS.

    "See Manual", Temp Limp Mode on Launch

    Having trouble lately launching aggressively in sport mode. With the colder weather, the vehicle seems to be launching much harder than it was in the summer, which is great, but my transmission is cutting off or something during first or second gear. My gearing icon disappears completely, and it...

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Yeah, I don't think I was bouncing off the rev-limiter. Just hopping a lot. Was going in a straight line. Will launch at lower RPMs from now on, scared me a bit. I thought that bolt had snapped or something at first lol. That was also the first time I had that much wheel hop. Holy cow, these...

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Just happened to me today. Hard launch, spun tires, and when it tried to shift to 2nd or 3rd, I lost all power and throttle for ~ 2 seconds while the vehicle recovered. Thought I had forgotten I was in manual mode and failed to shift at first. Definitely auto. No codes yet. I was...

    whoosh motorsports high flow catted downpipes

    Wow - great to see real performance metrics from before/after downpipes. I want some to complement my 3" Thermal, but they look like too much of a PITA to worry about right now.

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    Haha... Now I just need to install my AWR brace before that becomes an issue too :-)

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    Been driving myself crazy with this. Turns out I've been attacking two separate issues the whole time. I fixed the primary annoying sound coming from the exhaust by re-snugging everything up. What sounded like a heatshield rattle persisted, and I spent more time under the truck than I care to...

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    Got under it today and snugged up everything. The midpipes had moved quite a ways off the downpipes. Vibration sounds a lot better, but is still there and quite annoying. At this point I am convinced that it is not a cat, since I partially fixed it. Need to get back under there and check my...

    May have found my problem. Exhaust seems to have backed off quite a bit. Gonna hit it tomorrow and torque the hell out of it.

    Thanks for your insight about the cats, didn't know there were 2 cells. It's definitely going to be tough to convince the dealer with the exhaust on there, especially if they find out I tuned.

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    Maybe 10% as bad as the video, and it very strangely goes away when the car is calm. Wondering if the cats can become loose without breaking. Gonna be expensive if they give me crap about my exhaust. Expecting they will :)
