    Explore ST 2025 model and center screen not loading profile

    Mine shows the Explorer screen for up to around 30 seconds or more randomly. A couple of weeks ago the screen started to boot up but stayed blank. I waited a bit and still nothing. I shut off the vehicle and restarted it and it was still the same. I was on a day trip 250 miles away from home so...

    2025 Oil Capacity

    This dead horse has been re-kicked to death again. Maybe it's time you let it go.. add however much or however little F%$king oil you want and give it a rest already.

    Gas Treatment

    Well damn.. I better not let my ST hear this news or it might not wanna drink any other fuel brand. SMH !! I can't vouch for their fuel being any better than any other company's fuel but I will give Costco their props for makin a lot of good stuff. Their cakes, rotisserie chicken, etc. are damn...

    Gas Treatment

    You all realize that nearly all gasoline is made and comes from the same refineries right. Its not uncommon for a Mobil, BP, Sunoco, etc. trucks to be pulling up and filling from the same supply refineries. Now each company may add their own snake oil additived to the original blend but its all...

    2025 Oil Capacity

    I am fortunate to have lots of toys and I am part of another ATV forum. Our ATV's hold 2-quarts of oil. It is NOT UNCOMMON for many on the forum to run up to 1/2 a quart more in their ATV's. Now that is some perspective and you are worried about 1/2 a quart too much in a 6 - 6 1/2 quart...

    Right.. That's what I like to do, start out below the stated capacity when I change the oil.. (Sarcasm)

    Exhaust dirtiness expectations

    JMO, looks like an oil and/or unburned fuel issue to me.. I don't believe I've ever had crust like that on the exhaust tips of any vehicle I've ever owned regarless of mileage.

    Interior Ambient Light Strips?

    I had the lower tech. package on my 22' that didn't include the ambient lighting. I think I had package 401A vs 401B or something to that effect. The higher package included ambient lighting. the 25' s have everything and there was no lower package to get (at lease early in the ordering process...

    Interior Ambient Light Strips?

    I dont know about adding lighted strips to the trim areas of the dash like in the pic. but when I had my 22' ST I added the ambient lighting kit shown below from Amazon. One light mounter under each of the front seats, at the back, to light up the passenger floors. Each of the other (2) lights...

    Front Brake Pad Removal.

    Adhesive pad on the back??? you mean the anti-rattle pad that is a part of the pad assembly. That is completely irrelevant to removing the pads. Also, you don't need to remove the pads and rotors to simply check them. Just pull the rims and look at them. The calipers come off pretty much just...

    How to avoid the brittle valve recall test?

    If it were mine, I wouldn't have those monkeys touch it unless the engine grenades from the valves with normal driving. I'm 100% with you on not having them intentionally abuse your engine. A recall isn't mandatory and no one can make you do it. I STRONGLY suggest you tell them to not do the...

    2020 ST Transmission being fully rebuilt

    Lots of vehicles, dealers are saying there are not trans. rebuild kits for them and that you need a new trans . I'm a little shocked yours is rebuildable yet there should be no reason they shouldn't be.

    WHAT IN THE F@CK.. So they just abused the F@CK out of your new motor :mad::mad::mad:
