What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[DaGooch]

Finally got around to installing the CV Fab intercooler. Drove around for about 30 minutes doing some errands and then wanted to look at the Draggy results. I finally broke into the 4 second 0-60 time on my 25!

Had Vanish PPF installed on the headlights, but it didn't take to well on the edges, back to the installer.

Finally got around to lowering this on Eibach's!

I got the turbos, injectors and HPFP installed. Currently working on logs for the 93 tune.

Installed my rear side window flag decals:

and my new Thermal tips:

I have the same Flag decal on my Silver ST!

It wasn't today, but I got the Whoosh downpipes installed a week ago by a shop. I attempted it myself, but was extremely unmotivated.

It pairs well with the 3" thermal. It's pretty loud at anything over 20% throttle, but still very quiet when cruising. I now have an intermittent squeak at the rear driver's side of the Thermal that I am working on fixing.

Installed new tires last week.

Went with Atturo 285/40 R21 AZ850s on the stock wheels. No issues whatsoever through 1kish miles. Haven't really pushed them, but they've been fine.

Need to data log my rev1 tune from ZFG and get that finished up. Just about done messing with it at that point. Will probably add a diff brace later this summer, but that's about it until the tires need to get swapped again. Going to look at new wheels at that point.

Did this 2 weeks ago but wanted to share. PPF full front, pillars and front section of roof, ceramic coating body and wheels, added black McGard lug nuts and tinted the windshield 70% and front windows 45%. I think I am going to have my tinter drop the front windows to 35% though.

Just did the first oil change on my 25 at 650 miles to clear out any break in debris. I used the extraction method and knocked it out in 15 minutes with little effort or mess. Total cost was $47.96 for 6qts of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 and Ford Motorcraft Filter FL-2062-A.

Over the weekend I did the GT350 brake swap, tinted windows and wheel spacers all around. 1.25" front. 1.5" rear.

H&R springs
PIU rear shocks
Brand new Michelin Pilot All Seasons in OEM sizing (my last set had premature wear and I was credited $1,000 back)

Alignment sorted out today finally. No more ridiculous negative camber in the rears. Was at -2.2 and -2.4, now back to OEM specs -0.05

Traded in my 25 ST last week for a new 2024 Expedition Limited with the Stealth Performance package, couldn’t pass up the deal on the last of the old body style. Hoping I don’t regret it. View attachment IMG_8545.jpeg

Installed S&B intake yesterday. Thank you Ford for using "permanent connectors" on the PCV hose that need to be disconnected.

Was it challenging, and if you had to do it again yourself would you?

 

[Mekks082]

Installed CVFab intercooler (been sitting in my basement for 6+ months), installed front and rear OEM black badges, changed oil (M1 ESP 5w30 + Fram Ultra Synthetic filter), replaced rusted Gorilla lugs with McGard's, and installed the AA/CP full screen mod.

Sent a sample of the old oil, same brand/weight to Blackstone. Will post results if anyone cares.

Not too bad looking back, but that's with the benefit of the experience that I gained. First time doing it I just figure its always going to take 2X as long as anyone says. The "permanent" connector and getting the supplied tool to work and the driver side turbo spring clamp were the two most time consuming parts.
