You can buy the upgraded Ford versions brand new for around $400. They are definitely an improvement over the originals.

The thread title was marked as “SLD” a week ago.

There are a bunch of TSB’s on these 10R60’s for harsh shifts. Depending on where you fall, some sort of a rebuild is completely realistic. That being said, mine start acted funny a month or so back at around 55,000 miles (the ONLY issue I’ve had since buying new in April of ‘20). After the tech...

The number off your windshield is the engineering number, not the part number. There are two windshields for the non-PD versions, with one for those that have the heated wipers: LB5Z-803100-D. Just replaced mine recently. No Explorer logo on it. Yours is the other. You can go to the Ford Parts...

Used Mishimoto oil separator. Perfectly functional and looks great other than some light rust on the bracket which can be easily touched up. Nice OEM look with molded hoses. Tank barbs are also metal and not plastic. All hardware included. $150 OBO shipped. Plenty of info on the Mishimoto site...

There are a bunch of TSB’s on these transmissions. They start with a drive cycle, then a re-flash, and either a new valve body or maybe front support. Just went through this at 55,000 miles (the first issue with my ‘20). Ended up with a brand new transmission after all kinds of metal shavings...

If you want something affordable that will have a fantastic sound, the Gibson axle-back is all you need. I’ve had their kit on since they first came out and have enjoyed it since. Real nice rumble, no rasp, no drone. Do a search and check out YouTube videos - there are plenty.

Great kit and a fantastic price. It has gone up over the last several years, but still a nice bang for the buck. The u-bolt clamps stink though, and will make it next to impossible to get the pipes off if the need arises. I used some good step-band clamps and upgraded the bolts - about four...

I’ve mentioned the sizes in other threads. Off the top of my head, the OE bar is around 21.5mm and the PIU is 23mm. Not a ton larger, but still an improvement in stiffness. All the bars have tags on them in the middle that shows the diameter.

I got it directly from Gibson at that deal since I promoted it and probably helped some initial sales. That was four years ago, though. I have no idea what it costs today, but I imagine you can search and find deals. Either way, it was way cheaper than the full kits and sounds better than any of...

I was one of the first retail customers to get this exhaust. Still on my ST and sounds fantastic. Gives a real nice rumble without the Honda rasp that so many other kits have. No drone and not stupid loud either. The price is right, too - got mine for just over $500. Fit great, tips look nice as...

Read the owner’s manual - that’s what MyKey is for.

Had them replaced on my ‘20 just recently at around 50,000. It was no big deal: just had to put up with the annoying clunk briefly, but my dealership got in the new ones pretty quick. Other than the cracked CV boots, this was the only warranty work I’ve needed since new.

Nothing misleading at all. Steeda knows there are issues. Look at the pic I posted on the first page. If you powder coat a suspension part that will flex/twist/bend, the powder coating will crack and eventually flake off. To each his own.

You can look it up right from the Ford Parts site, or do a search. It’s been brought up many times. If you don’t want a rusted out aftermarket bar, the PIU version is the way to go.
