I'm calling BS. They did update the flex section midpipe but it should fit the updated cat downpipe. This is the first time I'm hearing that a new cat pipe necessitates buying new flex section midpipes. Call Ford customer service and demand they pay for the midpipes if true. The updated...

Well, the AI response gives a date of April 13th, so we'll know soon enough

Don't be afraid to do it the address and numbers way. The procedure outlined by Nightshade for 2025+ worked for my 2026 no problem. The key is make sure to save the module config after you read it. You can always go back to it.

The recall is for modules that aren't properly chassis-grounded. You'll note the recall is not to add a ground to the chassis, it is to add a ground to the harness of the module. Just go ahead and do the TSB if your Explorer falls under the recall date.

You need a windows laptop. It will work with a BT adapter like the OBDLink MX+ which will also allow you to use Forscan Lite (diagnostics and some service procedures). Some prefer the wired dongle OBDLink EX.

Thank you EdmontonST for the heads up and thank you to the good people at Forscan! The FENG is gone from my 10/25 build that I could not get removed previously. In this build of Forscan, there are a lot more ezconfig options in APIM. Hoping this trend continues for 2025+ for the other modules.

Unfortunately all offerings for new undershields on Amazon and eBay have been removed. Currently, your best bet will be a used one from a salvage yard or ebay.

That's great news! Will give it a try this week!

The device is Livernois but the tune is reportedly from Ford.

So I have had my 2026 ST for a few months now--I wanted to make sure everything was running smoothly for a while before I put a tune on there. The stock tune for the 26 Explorer is great. Shifting is smooth and refined. The skip gear shifting that came with my 2020 ST is gone. I loved my...

I just looked. It's now $120 for a 2 day license for FDRS. That is a huge jump in price! Definitely don't fault you for trying. Yes, I selected "yes" to Sync4 warning and proceeded. On the 2026, there's not a lot of modules with easy config options but APIM does have some.

I disregard the message and have seen a few settings available for APIM. That said, I haven't heard of anyone actually being successful getting the door securecode working using Forscan on 2025-2026 Explorers--have you?

Same. Sealed Motorcraft boxes, great prices and ships fast.

I see you have a 2026. Totally up to you but lowering springs could use more firmness and heavy duty shocks--alI speculation of course. But I changed my struts/shocks on my 2026 with PIU and Eibach springs. I felt that the PIU shocks were harder to compress than ST shocks with only 200 miles...

I'd just get rid of the JXB inserts and go live your life...
