    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Haha, they checked flashes. So they told me. Supposedly Ford now wants that done with bolt failures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ST hitch/receiver cover wanted

    I just checked mine out closely. I ordered textured but not sure I like it. Fortunately there are no imperfections that I can see. So if I want smooth it should just take some sanding and maybe one coat of filler. Wish I knew what color the other smooth plastic is. Would be nice to get it close...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    No doubt. From their point of view apparently there is a lot of discussion and a lot more failures. They have seen 4 that snapped the bolt. All stock. They were not impressed with the new bolt solution and did not expect it to resolve the problem. He said if Ford continues to see failures they...

    ST hitch/receiver cover wanted

    Just got mine and I am thinking of doing the same. A good sanding, some adhesion promoter, and a filler epoxy prime should allow sanding smooth.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Was having some work done at the dealer today. Was talking to both the advisor and mechanic. I wanted them to go over all the bolts for the rear subframe to double check my work and then do an alignment. They both were saying they don't think the bolt will be the end solution. He seemed to...

    Recall Rear Axle Bolt

    It is mildly annoying to me to hit the button or hit the gas. When hitting the gas it always feels like it jerks while it releases. Seems to me since it is all just programming they could release the parking brake as soon as you shift out of park. Then again they probably have to protect...

    418 hp 3.0L Bronco Raptor is slowwwwwww ...

    My CTSV weightd 4200lbs and had 700 wheel horsepower with lots of low end torque. THAT was a performance sports car IMO. Explorer ST is GREAT in class but not a a performance car IMO. Don't get me wrong, I love my ST, but if I were looking for a performance car an Explorer would NOT have been...

    Checking in from Philly

    Welcome. Last time I was in Philly was for a Celtics Sixers game in the 80's I did not feel the brotherly love in the cheap seats with my loud mouthed girlfriend's friend in a Celtics dress.

    I wouldn't call a stock ST boring. The test drive is what got me to buy one. Having said that, it is not what I would consider a performance vehicle in stock form. Fortunately that can be improved upon(y)

    Mishimoto's Performance Intercooler R&D Thread

    Might be a dumb question but does powdercoating effect heat transfer? I always thought bare aluminum was better than painted but never considered powdercoating.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Looks great! Looking forward to details of your major audio upgrade! Have to say I get much more enjoyment driving my ST now that I have good sound! While many are happy with the oem stereo, I found it sorely lacking in both quality and volume. Was delivering some material to a customer and...
