Here is a look at my new Pirelli.

At 40,000 miles on my 2022ST, the door seal that surrounds the entry to the driver's seat/compartment is torn right where it runs along the running board. I've probably dragged a foot across there a few times as I came back from two hip replacements that were very successful. Anyway, that seal...

I decided on the Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive 275/45ZR21XL, the stock size for the 21". They were $378.05 a tire, $1512.20 for the set and $79.96 to spin balance, $51.76 installation. I added a 4-wheel laser alignment which I always get with a new set of tires. Came in under $1,700 at local...

WHOOPS, double-typed the second '2'. 25,967 miles. Very happily all my issues seem to be fully resolved by the upgrades they did. I haven't looked to see the SYNC and MAPS version #s, will try to add that when I get a minute. Hoping it stays stable...they made reference to the APIM having a...

My 2022 XT goes in tomorrow the issues I described above. They said there's 4.5 hours of shop time for the updates it needs. All under warranty happily...am at like 225K miles here....hopefully I;'ll have positive news to morrow- tyhey seem confident the updates they're going to apply will...

In warranty they'll do it for free when there's a reproduceable issue....at least my dealer has on my last 3 Explorers. I've got no hesitation to do it myself with 30+ years working in networking and 4G/5G technology, but I want the dealer to own the issue....get it just right...call me when I...

Just back from Dealer with the Blizzaks on, and fresh Synthetic Oil Change. They looked at the write\-up I did on my SYNC / Nav/ XM Sirius issues and the pics (since it was behaving almost normally when I took it in of course...glad I stopped in twice and showed the Service Writer the system in...

SYNC 3, Version 3.4 Build #21194_PRODUCT Maps NA 2 20

I've only tried joining my home Wi-Fi from the ST and scanning for updates and it shows versions and says no updates. I'm in warranty, plus Ford ESP to 100K so going to let the dealer work it out. They were very good on my previous 2020 ST...after (7) attempts to repair and make Sync and XM...

I'm seeing issues on my screen here now too...APIM module may be?? When using NAV only bottom 2/3 of map displays, get nav directions but can not display map data (Android Auto not plugged in) Press microphone button wheel and say, "Weather Map" and it displays map with "Received XX:XX" where...

It took a few tried for the dealer to solve this. The Ford hotline told the dealer's chief mechanic to replace the 'HeaterBox'. That was an all day affair that had the dashboard removed, the front seats removed and the steering wheel off. Result....same exact whistle at any fan sett5ing higher...
