    What Did the Wife Do to the Explorer ST Today

    Autoworker, just curious, I have been close to backing into things but the Explorer has pretty much stopped me from actually hitting anything when the brakes slammed on automatically. Did she also receive the beeps before hitting the pole?

    Time to replace the OEM tires

    A great budget friendly tire would be the Falken Ziex CT60 A/S.

    Exhaust "Buzz"

    I would say you have an exhaust leak somewhere. Check to be sure that all connections and clamps are tight if you have a way to get under the vehicle.

    Key Fob Question

    Nope, you unlock with the keypad or the FordPass app.

    Key Fob Question

    Yes, the keypad will go to sleep after about a week of the vehicle not being started. I believe this would be a non issue for most of us. You may also start the vehicle with your phone from anywhere. Try it for a week, you will never look back.

    Key Fob Question

    Ford actually designed the key fob to never leave the vehicle. That is why there is a place specifically meant for it in the center console. Leave it there and forget about it. I just removed it to replace the battery in it after 4 years.

    Has anyone used Chemical Guys Tire Dresing/Shine

    For the price I don't think you can beat Cristal Products Untouchable Wet Tire Finish. There are some others that will be more durable and last longer, but you must have really clean tires to apply.

    2025 Rear driver side night time driving light fail

    Just letting you know that you could have gotten a free loaner vehicle while awaiting for your ST to be repaired. It is part of your bumper to bumper warranty, trust me, I know from experience.

    Fuel Inlet Issue

    That YouTube video will help some, but won't get the job done as he skips the hardest part. Do not take the strut brace off, it will not be in the way. The green clip in the back will be nearly impossible to remove while on the vehicle, therefore it is much easier to disconnect another hose...

    I've got a Check Engine Light

    The dealer wanted $600, so I bought the part at Napa for about $70 and replaced it myself. You can feel the electrical connector in the back, just kind of pinch it and push back. As someone else has mentioned, disconnect the valve at the easier location that will be towards your right and not as...

    Sync 4 13.2"

    Just an FYI that Vehicle Health is not functional on any Android device in the FordPass app if you did the latest update. See my notes when you go to this app in the Play Store. My tire pressure reading is fine in FordPass.

    Why do i feel like my tires are wearing more outside than inside?

    It is just the weight of the wheel. It is best to lay them down on the backside so that they don't fall on the front (face) and get scratched up.

    Fuel Inlet Issue

    I just replaced this myself on Tuesday. I cleared the code and all is well. Between advice on here and YouTube, I struggled a bit, but got it done. I replaced with the best one Napa has and the design of the replacement seems better than OEM. If it does go bad again, the Napa brand will be...

    Catalytic Converter done at 88k

    My left side cat has been replaced twice. First time was early on with exhaust smell inside the vehicle. The second time it went bad there was a weird exhaust sound at around 60K miles.

    Braap braaap!!!

    Here is a sweet dirt bike I got for my son last year.

    I've got a Check Engine Light

    With the experience of having removed it once, how much time do you think it would take you to replace it a second time? Would there be any advantage in taking the strut tower brace off or is it helpful to leave on so that you can lean on it?

    2025 Explorer ST - Keypad question

    Yup, there is a place in the center console designed for the key fob.

    2025 Explorer ST - Keypad question

    I have a 2020 and have probably only seen my key fob twice in the past year, and that is only because the dealer and tire shop required the key fob in their hands. Not having a keypad is pretty much a deal breaker for me. It also keeps the peace with the wife as I don't have to look for keys.

    ST to Platinum Suspension Change

    One thing you could try is lowering your tire pressure a bit. Many dealers and tire shops will set your pressure on the higher side to keep that pesky TPMS light from coming on as it gets cold outside. A few lbs different can make your ride harsher.
