    "Clack" Sound In Reverse

    You sure it's from the front? Sounds like the metallic "tink" sound that is fixed by lubing the axle splines. I suppose the same thing can happen for the front axles?

    Can we start a campaign to get Ford to make a vertical to horizontal conversion kit?

    Thankfully for the 2025 Explorers, Google will be doing the infotainment. Playtime is over.

    Wireless CarPlay

    I see you have a 2024. Big mistake. I'd be pissed too... at myself. There's going to be a lot of MY2024 buyer's remorse when the 2025s come out in about a month's time with so much better tech and interior. You should have waited. You might have even saved some money if you paid $60k for...

    Wireless CarPlay

    If i'm not mistaken, wireless carplay came out in 2017. And I think BMW was charging a yearly subscription for that feature at that time. When I bought my 2020 in 2019, I was hoping it would have wireless Carplay--my wife's 2021 Audi did.

    alignment shops around Cleveland

    This is the adjustment point that most shops and even dealers may not be aware of. Do this yourself and then go to the dealer for an alignment. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/alignment-specs-camber.3875/#post-86031 FYI, my Ford dealer in Fairlawn does Roush. They did NOT correct my rear...

    PIU struts/shocks

    The 3.0L Ecoboost PIU is the highest performing PIU variant. If you want to duplicate the suspension, try to get a VIN# from one and ask a dealer to search for the parts. Supposedly, even the drivetrain mounts are heavy duty.

    No Oil From Factory?

    If they've been driving it lately, then no, it must've had oil but now, for whatever reason, it doesn't. Should be covered under warranty though.

    PIU struts/shocks

    Has someone said PIU springs are any different from ST?

    Steeda Rear Dif Brace

    Can't hurt then. Sounds like you might have your hands full fixing 2020 problems though. Any extended warranty on it?

    Hello Ive got a black 2020 explorer st a few days ago (Concerns)

    that is the tranny cooler. That lever mechanism (whatever that does) is also broken.

    Steeda Rear Dif Brace

    you have a 2020ST? Unless you go crazy with the mods, you likely do not need the rear differential brace. But yes to the subframe bushing supports.

    Leaking oil?

    Yes, but they also replaced the driver's side half shaft for some reason.... was the boot leaking grease?

    Hello Ive got a black 2020 explorer st a few days ago (Concerns)

    Any idea what maintenance/recalls done? Here are some of the common 2020 issues: 1) downpipe (Cat) exhaust leak (recall), 2) front axle boot leak (both sides), 3) midpipe flex section leak/failure (both sides), 4) front axle disconnect actuator leak, and 5) multiple modules needing firmware...

    Costco Michelin wipers or Ford OEM

    I recommend you head on over to Walmart: RainX Expert Fit Beam 26-2, 22-2, 11MC rear I feel these are just as good as Bosch Icon at 1/2 the cost.

    PIU struts/shocks

    J is fully assembled including top mount, dust shield, etc. V is just the bare shock--you wouldneed to break down the rear shock assembly and reuse the stock parts. To me, the price difference is negligible... get the J

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    This thread is proof it pays to wait. Let your dealer get a few under their belt so that there is less chance for mess ups.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    Are you on Sync 3.4 23188? That's the whole point of this thread. Go to your Sync settings and see what version you have. If it's not 23188, go to the Ford site and load up a USB stick to upgrade. Wifi upgrade may not work because of the older version messes with a number of functions.

    2020 Audio Control Module

    Could also be the DSP. As far as programming, tis from the service manual: ACM The ACM requires PMI when it is replaced. DSP The DSP is a power amplifier for the vehicle speakers. The audio input signal comes from the ACM via the Automobile Audio Bus (A2B) cable. It may drive all speakers on...

    Rear differential leaking

    Id investigate a little more. Support the rear diff and pull that bolt. I find it hard to believe the oil would track out through the bolt/bushing yet leave the rest ofthe cover bone dry. Maybe it's a fluid filled bushing?
