    Rough cold idle

    My 2022 does this as well. I wouldn’t call mine rough, but it’s not smooth. Only occurs on cold starts below 20 degrees, then smooths out in a few minutes. It’s a small popping out of stock exhaust. I’ve had my rig for 6 months and I’m at 62k. Could be normal.

    Yeah I understand. I’m grasping lol

    Rear differential brace

    Has anyone heard of a ford dealer installing the upgraded hardened diff bolt? If ford is aware of this potential weak point, it would be cool to have this done at the dealership for warranty purposes. For my driving style, this would suffice.

    new-to-me 2021 ExST with 20k miles

    I would get an extended warranty if you can. Everyone has their own experience, but I’ve owned my 22 ST for 6 months (61k miles) and just had a new transmission installed. The warranty covered it $8000. I would like to do a couple mods, but the warranty is making me pause. The mods would be...

    Rear differential brace

    This kind of makes me wonder how many of us with the 3 bolt diffs are driving around with a bent rear bolt lol.

    Rear differential brace

    So I called my dealership today and the two mods I want would not be well received by the extended warranty. Rear differential brace and catback exhaust. I Might do them anyway. This extended warranty game is interesting. I guess I should be happy they just covered my new transmission. The...

    Rear differential brace

    I appreciate this info and I’m liking the looks/functionality of the ID speed brace. They made the bushing out of EPDM for a reason that makes sense to me. Very useful input thank you!

    Rear differential brace

    Thank you for the input. The AWR would appear to be a good option for me. I’ll inquire with the dealer on any extended warranty issues before installing. I’m sure they will say not to do it lol. Do these braces transfer any drivetrain resonance into the cabin? This might not be a big issue for...

    Rear differential brace

    My rig: 2022 with 1 bolt rear diff support. Has anyone had a warranty or extended warranty issue with this mod? Adding a brace seems like an excellent idea, but warranty departments may see this differently. I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot of hard launches, but maybe some aggressive driving...

    Model 2026 does not has the panoramic glass roof w/ power shade. Is about a cost reduction or due quality problems?

    I have a 2022 with the pano glass roof. Based on what I have read here, I won’t ever be opening it again. Shade closed LOL!

    New vibration

    I agree and I hope you get some resolution with the new transmission. They put in a L1MZ7000T in mine. I have no idea when it was built. Fun to drive when it shifts nice :)

    New vibration

    Thank you for letting me know your 2025 is hard in sport. I’m still trying to figure out was is normal lol. Hoping this thing will stay out of the shop for a while now

    New vibration

    Update: I picked up my rig yesterday and the new transmission is smooth. Extended warranty covered everything…good thing ($8000). I was expecting a transmission re-learn period, but damn what a difference. I still have some questions about what 10r60 version I got and programming. The build...
