My 2020 Explorer ST has 37,000 miles on it. Some background mods for reference... Ford tune, 50/50 blow-off valve, high-flow air filter, oil catch can/air-oil separator and MBRP axle back exhaust.
So I've noticed under light throttle what feels like final drive wear. There is a slight delay just after an upshift. I can feel it in the seat, meaning I'm unable to determine at this time if it is coming from the front, rear or center. I wonder if this is a precursor to the rear differential issues I'm hearing about? I did do a transmission fluid and filter service and nothing abnormal was found (The issue was happening before this service). Any input is greatly appreciated!!!
