Got mine in the mail! Probably won't install for a while.

Here's another 5th gear pull I just did, 91 degrees outside. 118.5 degree charge temps at redline. datazap.me | jwuonog | 2020 Explorer ST

datazap.me | jwuonog | Explorer ST Quarter Mile 12.6 Here is a datalog of a Dragy run. I had just done a few Dragy runs prior to this one. It was 77 degrees, and 73.7% humidity. (I think humidity affects the IC's performance?) You can click on different items in that link to toggle them...

Did you ever end up fixing this? I just got the same message last night.

I'll upload some more datalogs later today.

Definitely update the tune. You can now fully take advantage of your lower charge temps and make some extra power, especially up top. Your current tune probably has a lot of safeties that account for when the charge temps go sky high.

I can't decide if I want the 2.5" or the 3". I am mostly concerned about drone. I have down pipes on the way. What was the difference between them?

Didn't Steve go with another builder (MA Motorsports)? He is local, I might run into him at a meet eventually.

I looked up some captures of the Explorer ST on the Ford website from a few years ago, here's what I found: Wayback Machine (archive.org)

I think 3.58 is for the 2.3L, the 3.0L has 3.31. https://www.fordpro.com/en-us/fleet-vehicles/explorer/explorer-st/

Cool, thanks! I'm going to try these on mine. Was your Dyno above on 93 or E50? Isn't the final drive 3.35:1?

Does anybody have some settings to share for vdyno? I don't see the explorer as one of the options in vdyno 1.8.6.

I changed my mind. I saw that you can feel it on your back. That would drive me crazy.

They make a leather overlay for it now, I might try it out: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1741932479/ford-explorer-st-faux-leather-front

Just an update now that it's very hot out: Intercooler seems to be doing its job. I picked up a Cobb Accessport and have started tuning with Alan Jackson at Edgeautosport. Here's a datalog I took during a hot summer evening in the 80s, charge air temps were in the 90s during a pull...

Do you happen to have the part number of the leaking axle? Or the part number of the other side? I think Ford's naming convention means that a later letter at the end is a revision of the part. I think my axles that had leaking CVs ended in A.

I'm surprised this is still happening on 2023s.

My oil change interval was 7500 with full synthetic on my other DI, non-turbo cars. Never had any issues. I would prefer to go roughly 5k on my STs, as they are driven hard, and my kids nap in them a lot while idling. However, if I were to do an oil analysis and it came back looking good...

Gotcha. Unfortunately I idle the car a lot while my 1 and 2 year old nap in the car, so it probably factored that into the oil life, which is currently reading 0% at 4k miles since my last one.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Is this oil life meter just based on when it was last reset, and mileage, or is it actually analyzing the oil somehow?
