Many people on this forum have went with CV Fab intercoolers (including myself). Any brand seems to perform nearly the same so brand loyalty isn't very importand IMO. Strut braces are really cosmetic only on the Explorer ST. They have been discussed many times on this forum. Many people ugrade...

People usually use them to block UV and heat on the dash pad which causes damage. It also reduces internal heat when the vehicle sits. A soft look is also an appeal by many. I've personally never owned one but I'm not against them. I just had my front windshield 50% ceramic tinted which will...

You will find 100 different answers from 100 different people on this topic.. . For me, I do my 1st oil change @ 500 miles using synthetic blend and the 2nd one also with synthetic blend 2,500 miles later @ 3,000 miles in total. From there, I do it every 3,000 miles with full synthetic.
