    Install Rear Camera Washer

    Well, ended up not being a big deal. Carefully estimated where it should be based on above pic and drilled a 1/2" hole. I then used a stepper bit to ream the hole slightly larger and oval it out left and right. Only took a few seconds to do so go slow and check fit often. But grommet went...

    Install Rear Camera Washer

    Finally got around to installing mine. Ran into a bit of a snag. mine is a late ‘23 and seems to not have the hole/grommet that is specific for the washer fluid line to pass through. I was scratching my head for a few mins wondering how the fluid got through before I realized it’s just not...

    Leaking oil?

    I was in for a different warranty issue (HVAC blower motor bearing squealing) and they just proactively inspected the seal on my '23 because they said "Pretty much every explorer coming in now has this seal leaking" Prob a good idea for folks to get under their vehicles and inspect theirs if...

    Brake pedal vibration when at a complete stop.

    Cant say mine has ever done that. Even paid extra attention to it on the drive home and no vibrations, nor can i ever recall it every vibrating before. Running or while off.

    What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

    I've got 2 on 87 and 2 on premium. My wife has a '24 CRV. Boring to drive but runs on 87 and gets almost 40 MPG. Been using that lately when I need to make a drive. ST is sitting at 19 MPG. My right foot might be to blame for that. ;) $4.60 for a fill up today. :(

    What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

    Damn I paid $4.50 for 91 octane 2 days ago. Hate to see what it is now but I'm at 3/4 tank. I usually fil around 1/2 tank

    New recall, Sync screen.

    I still see it pop up on the FB groups. Usually a quick reset of the system (hold power and right seek) gets it back to normal.

    New recall, Sync screen.

    Looks like it affects pretty much all pre-facelift models: Just checked my app and don't see it listed there for me. I've never personally had this issue (although i've seen folks on FB groups post pics of it) , so I'll probably sit back and let others go first as I have the full-screen mod...

    Tips on cleaning seat material

    This is who makes the seat insert material. It's a type of suede Home - Dinamicamiko

    Park brake automatically on

    Indifferent to the feature. I don't mind it. Lots of folks don't realize if you go from Park to Drive and just hit the gas, it automatically releases. Only time this isn't ideal is when you need to creep forward (like out of a parking space) and don't want to hit the gas. But you get used...

    remote start not working

    Certain pending codes will also disable it. I'd pull DTC's using ForScan (or a good scan tool) and see if anything pops up.

    What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

    Dealers aren't really the most reliable when it comes to technical advice. Regardless, the topic of fuel is in the owners manual. Really it's the yellow highlighted section that folks are debating here regarding a stock, untuned ST. On a 95 degree humid day, if you are towing something...

    Did the horsepower change on the 3.0L

    2020-2021 Platinum was 365HP/380TQ

    Did the horsepower change on the 3.0L

    My thought as well. I'm an engineer and I spend a disappointing amount of time reviewing and correcting incorrect technical specs in our marketing materials. The spec page had two typos. HP, and both the ST and Tremor got 3.58 final drive ratio, not the 3.31

    Sound deadening options

    I did it to one of my Mustangs and it was an extensive project. I had the interior out, so everything was done. Firewall, floor and trans tunnel, roof, all doors, trunk, etc. Did it make a difference? Yes it did. Do i have measureable data? No, but i can tell you with the windows up and AC...
