    How-to: Front climate control swap(add 20-21 temp display to 22+)

    Only one person that I know of on the F-150 forums has been able to make this DTC go away (he has hardware and software unavailable to the public and is often able to accomplish feats that even most or all Ford techs/dealers cannot), and there's a ton of people doing this switch in the trucks. I...

    2024 Ford Explorer Interior Spotted for the First Time

    I'm glad to see there's a proper tachometer in it

    How-to: Front climate control swap(add 20-21 temp display to 22+)

    Yea this is happening in both the 20+ Explorers and the 21+ F150's. Possibly others too, but I am not on any other forums to verify this

    How-to: Front climate control swap(add 20-21 temp display to 22+)

    This is perfectly normal. Because the VIN is hard coded into the modules, you cannot clear that one particular DTC. Even FDRS programming does not clear that DTC. I think you have to have more dealer specific equipment in order to remove that completely. It does not affect performance or...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I have to agree, everything I have read and heard about the adaptive learning of the Ford trans is that the "harder" (more spirited, not hard launching constantly) you drive it while it is learning, the better the trans responds and shifts.

    The "Space GhoST" has lost its powers....

    Surprisingly, I just got a call from the dealer saying they replaced the battery and they ordered a new catalytic converter for the recall. Seems like all is good news, for now

    The "Space GhoST" has lost its powers....

    I took my ST in to the dealer yesterday with 35,200 miles on it because for the last week or two the vehicle goes into deep sleep mode, within a few hours, every time I turn it off. I told the service advisor that it was going into deep sleep mode and the response I get is "what the hell is deep...

    How-to: Front climate control swap(add 20-21 temp display to 22+)

    I would assume that it will not work with the FORScan programming. If you have never messed with FORScan before, it seems daunting, but I promise, it's REALLY easy to use. Here is a good tutorial, and there are some links to some how-to videos on there as well...

    Glare free

    Well I think I just wasted $21 on a 3 day PTS subscription. In PTS it specifically spells out glare free for the F-150's but it does not for the explorer or for my MKZ. That doesn't mean it's not possible, but I think it is highly unlikely to have the glare free programming all ready there...

    Glare free

    Hmm, then it could be possible with the platinum trim headlamps. The "glare free" technology is almost a decade old at this point, so it's possible the programming is there for it EDIT: it appears the Platinums are the only trim with an HCM. Time to dig deeper

    Glare free

    After a quick search, it appears none of the Explorers have adaptive headlamps. Looking at as-builts for an Explorer KR, neither it or the ST has an HCM, which is the module used to control adaptive lighting. I'm fairly certain the headlamps are the same for both the ST and KR

    Glare free

    Wait, so the ST doesn't have the top trim headlamps? As much as these things cost I thought these were the top level headlamps

    Glare free

    I think you're correct, but I had to ask. It's a pretty damn cool feature

    Glare free

    Does anyone know if these vehicles are able to have Glare Free lighting activated? I have activated it on my F-150, and I read something on PTS that made me believe that the explorer MIGHT have glare free lighting. Can anyone from Canada, or anywhere else chime in? Canadian F-150's came with...
