Aircraft tires are usually inflated with nitrogen to minimize expansion and contraction from extreme changes in ambient temperature and pressure experienced during flight. (from a Google search) It's not so much that the nitrogen is better, it's that by using 100% nitrogen you have no moisture...

They're installing green caps, You think they're deflating four tires and refilling them with 100% nitrogen?

You'll have more flow but less back pressure which can lead to turbo lag.

Just to clarify, as I posted previously about this. They are OEM Ford caps with a knock-off logo, just not meant for this vehicle. Unfortunately, Amazon lists them as fitting the Explorer. They're 54mm and probably need to be 56mm. A couple of rounds of electrical tape would keep them in just...

I asked him to do the oval and logo in red for both front and rear. I'm happy. Started from the center, just make sure everything is nice and warm, much easier to apply IMO.

Anyone have the part number for the high performance pads?

Agreed. The small plastic covers are specific left and right. Also specific with regard to the position. So they unsnap and snap back in very easily as long as the orientation remains the same. I removed a small retaining piece that takes torx screws. It made getting the larger plastic trim...

@tontda Got it, thanks!

@kpkimmel1983 See these links. No need for Forscan as the signal light bulb has the necessary resistor. Everything was plug n play. I assure you they all fit my 2020 Explorer ST https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077NYN5QJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Did you have to sign up for the free three month plan or was it on automatically? I would love to make the phone in the car a Google Fi phone.

Your receipt from the dealer should have the part number of the module they changed. If it wasn't charged to the job then it probably wasn't changed. Even though it was no charge to you, someone has to pay for it. If it was charged out to the repair and wasn't installed then don't lose that...

FWIW, these caps do not fit as they should. They're so loose that one fell out before I could get the wheel back on the car. Strange thing is the back of the cap has a Ford emblem and P/N so someone must have bought a bunch for another wheel and put ST logos on them. 6M211003AA and made in...

The car is only two weeks old and I realize I have complimentary Sirius for some time. Is that where the car gets the traffic info from when utilizing the built-in nav? I also have Android Auto with Google Maps and Waze but when using those apps I can't make the map full screen.

Agreed with the OP. I came from a Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon with HID self-leveling and adaptive lights. But I do believe that headlights sitting about a foot higher might also affect how we perceive it.
