    Windshield washer tank leaking

    Both of our 23 STs are the same story... I never see anything leaking but they are never full for very long. I've never had another vehicle with the same issue

    ZFG 91 on E30 Vs E50?

    Agreed. It would be emergency only. ZFG actually has a page on their site the walk through their allowable fuels: FUEL TYPES - Actual Page Our tunes support one fuel type each. Fuel type options are as follows: Auto-Octane: All Pump Gas (87-93, up to e30) 91 Octane: 91+ Octane (91-93, up to...

    ZFG 91 on E30 Vs E50?

    The most safe answer is to never run less than you're tuned for. 93 shouldn't run 91 or 87, E50 shouldn't run E30 or 93, etc... unless you have a flex fuel tune. If you have a specific question, reach out to your tuner.

    2025 Ford Explorer Seats Issue

    We have 2 STs, one with the massaging seats and one without. You definitely feel the difference in the seats (I like the non better). I have also noticed that sometimes the massaging seats don't quite "reset" when your done using that feature and you can feel the mechanism in the seat... it does...

    Oil Change

    Im a fan of the early change as well. I changed both our STs at ~1k miles and have changed them every 6 months since (we don't clear enough miles). Use a good full syn oil and filter every time. Oil changes are cheap insurance... especially if you like to push your vehicle at all. At some point...

    Steel City Mods?

    I have the CVFab intercooler on both of our STs. They are fantastic. No complaints.

    What color is our coolant ?

    I have a couple gallons of the Peak Yellow for "North American Vehicles" in the garage. Its my go to for when I need to replace coolant. I believe it meats the Ford WSS-M97B57-A1 spec and can be found on sale for like $15-20 at the parts stores near me.

    2023 Explorer ST Exhaust stutters on Startup

    Mine has done that from the beginning even before my Thermal 3in install. However, I did notice it lessen quite a bit when I added a weep hole at the lowest point of each muffler. A surprising amount of water/condensation comes out on a regular basis.

    Single bolt diff brace, cold weather driveline vibrations

    I didnt notice any additional NVH with the brace. If anything, its a bit more smooth... especially when shifting between park/drive/reverse

    Single bolt diff brace, cold weather driveline vibrations

    We have 2 STs, one with a single bolt (mine) and one with a two bolt (my wifes). I tend to notice more vibration on mine but almost all of it can be accounted for by sources other than drive line (under car trays, shields, etc...) but I went the AWR route for the diff brace. In my opinion, its...

    WTB Thermal Midpipe clamps

    I dont have anything available. However, I have used the evil energy 3in stainless butt band (~$20) and narrow band clamps (~$18 for a two pack) from Amazon with good success. I tend to stay away from the U-Bolt type clamps as I've had mixed results. As Unbroken mentioned, you might be able to...

    Down pipe

    Did you have a specific question about downpipes? There is a ton of info available in the forum around aftermarket options and involving issues with the existing exhaust system (mid pipes to be specific). Welcome to the forum.

    Dealer oil change and ZFG Tune

    Agreed. I should have said it won't keep your count.

    Dealer oil change and ZFG Tune

    Two of our local dealers scan every vehicle as it comes in, regardless of why it's there. However, not all of the dealers do that. I'm not sure what that initial scan is capturing, but its possible that ignition cycles or some other status may be captured via the OBD tool. If you are truly...
