    Oil Life - Time vs Mileage

    ST became a secondary/weekend driver this year. I've barely put 3,000 miles on it since beginning of the year. I'm still changing at intervals of roughly 2-3 a year using a synthetic blend. Oil looks brand new each time and at appropriate level. Question being, should I stick to the time...

    Splash Shield

    Anyone know the nut size to hold the side under body splash shield in place? Wasn't too hard to find where the wind buffering sound was coming from.

    Sticking Brakes?

    After the vehicle has been sitting for some time (overnight) with the e-brake engaged when it is disengaged and put into drive/reverse, there is a slight "sticking" that releases while in initial motion. This has only been noticeable the past few months. 2020 with 58k miles. Is this normal, a...

    Borla S-type vs thermal 2.5

    Thermal R&D. Pretty much in the same scenario as you. Kids room right next to the garage. Cold start is bit loud but has never woke them up. Hardly noticeable at cruising speeds and kids still sleeping at WOT.

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    Steering linkage adjusted and fixed my unique issue.

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Just thought of this as well. Did they check your brakes to make sure they weren't sticking? A stuck piston in the caliper will cause a pull. Especially noticeable when applying the brakes.

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    M Mine was due to improper steering linkage reassembly when my transfer case was replaced. It did not cause a pull per say but my steering wheel was not dead center when traveling straight down the road. When positioning my steering wheel centered, it listed to one side. Worn or defective...

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Most techs I've dealt with regarding my pull didn't think outside the box. They always resorted to an alignment, which didn't fix the issue even though the alignment came back within spec. I insisted that they needed to check my steering linkage and suspension components. Lo and behold, after...

    Bad CV joints

    Had my passenger side replaced twice now. First time at 40k miles and second at 50k miles.

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Steering linkage would most likely cause your steering wheel not be dead center when cruising straight down the road. Forcing it dead center would cause a pull to one side. Pull due to suspension components, especially if you let your hands off the wheel or feel the vehicle forced in one...

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Pure speculation here but it almost sounds like improper suspension/steering linkage reassembly. You would think that after all of that work the least they could do is take it for a test drive. Had the same issue with mine pulling to the right after the transfer case was replaced. Ended up being...

    Disappearing coolant?

    Do you have white smoke coming from your exhaust? Did they do a combustion leak test?

    Leaking oil?

    Just dropped mine off for this issue. Also, I noticed either diff fluid or oil on my trans pan. Any ideas as to how it ended up there?
