    Transmission/Shifting Stall !!!!!!!

    I’m sure this has been answered by now being over 4 years old. But it’s how the vehicle is made unfortunately. I’ve experienced it multiple times, it’s dangerously deadly. Doesn’t happen in sport mode for me, only normal and eco, and eco is SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I’m talking over a full second...

    Ford Performance Tune released for Ranger and Bronco Raptor variants just dropped and its WAY better than the one for our Exploders...

    I'm aware of ZFG and ultimately will go with it, but wanted to rock the FP tune until out of warranty. I have that, plus intake and intercooler currently. That's a different topic though but I appreciate your insight/suggestions nonetheless. And the "new" 3.5 makes up to 440hp/510lb-ft from...

    Ford Performance Tune released for Ranger and Bronco Raptor variants just dropped and its WAY better than the one for our Exploders...

    So, title ^, what gives? All vehicles are performance oriented with the same 3.0L twin turbo ecoboost engine right? Why do these vehicles get a boost to 455hp and 536lb-ft of torque while we're limited to 430hp and 467 lb-ft? Obviously there are some differences between gearing and driveshafts...

    SLD For sale$1000 NEW PRICE like New Borla Explorer ST S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust - Black Chrome Houston, TEXAS

    Funny, that was the only change I made and it’s what I experienced. Do you have a suggestion for why my vehicle was slower then? It had noticeably lethargic acceleration after the install. And install was done by an exhaust shop and it sounded great. So not sure the install was the problem. I’m...

    SLD For sale$1000 NEW PRICE like New Borla Explorer ST S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust - Black Chrome Houston, TEXAS

    Can you share your reason for getting rid of these? I guess you tried the thermal first. Gets pricey to keep buying and replacing new exhaust systems. Would love to know why you also removed the Borla S Type from your car. I had a Borla s type on another vehicle before and removed it because of...

    Ford Performance Tune

    My advice is move out of California and then second to that, what I was under the impression of was that the explorer’s advertised 400 hp was based off premium fuel, but that it did not necessarily require premium fuel, but that the FP tube does require premium fuel to hit advertised FP tune...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Well there is definitely not nearly as much lag in the trans, which I experienced many times (even after a trans relearn procedure) before I got the tune. Drivability is noticeably improved. This is all much more significant than the extra 30 horsepower.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I actu I actually love my FP tune, and the dealership installed it for free for me. It drastically improved the cars throttle response and ease of ability to drive it like you want to whenever you need to be a little quick. The car itself is still a P.O.S. but the FP tune made its drivability...

    I need to reduce the DRONE

    I had a 2013 charger R/T before this car and I had a Borla s-type on it for two weeks before removing it and putting the stock exhaust back on and just eating the cost because the drone was so bad. To be fair the drone was migraine inducing only when it was in “eco” mode which was the car’s MDS...

    Wow, this aged poorly.

    Anyone near Charlotte, NC that knows of a quality shop that charges fair prices for aftermarket intercooler installs?

    Anyone live near Charlotte, NC (less than 50miles) who knows a quality shop that will do aftermarket intercooler install for a fair price?

    Lumbar setting drif?

    I don’t use memory on my seat settings. I just set it to where it’s comfortable. And yet after a few times of driving the vehicle I’ll start to notice that my back hurts and I’ll decide to check the lumbar settings and will see that they have all resulted either back to zero or close to it...

    Flex Pipe Upgrade

    No it’s not. Unfortunately. Dealing with issue right now.

    Touch screen stopped responding to touch

    It’s a P.O.S. system. Hear that Ford? Just use f***ing dials. Can’t tell you how many times it just doesn’t respond to touch. Maybe yours was literally not working at all. Mine works the majority of the time but is SUPER finicky, just trying to change the air settings and it doesn’t respond to...

    Lowering Rear only

    I did happen to see those conversations as I was digging for information since I have to do a replacement on my currently leaking rear shock and figured I’d take the opportunity to upgrade if possible. Apparently from what I’ve seen we’re still waiting on a verdict. In any case, I’d imagine the...

    Lowering Rear only

    It's more like I don't want a dealer spotting the obvious aftermarket attachment due to its bright blue color when something else inevitably fails on this car and needs replacement, just in case they want to argue that its related. Secondary is the fact that I personally don't want to be able to...

    Lowering Rear only

    Trust me I did that within the first week I had the car immediately after it severely slammed on the brakes while I was slowly backing down my driveway and threw my dog into the back tailgate almost breaking his neck. Felt like the I hit something and felt like the rear subframe broke it was so...

    Lowering Rear only

    I don’t think anyone’s really answered your question, but I was wanting to know the same thing. I’m contemplating putting Steeda springs on just the rear to make the car more level and match up the wheel well area. I’m envisioning a much nicer stance with only approximately a 1” drop in the...

    Rear Shocks

    I suppose that makes sense. Don’t have time to read all the fine print on everything all the time. I just saw the Steeda label on “their” shocks. Knew the description was that they were of equal performance to the STs original shocks, no explanation of it being the same exact thing. Figured...
