Yep all of the newer Fords do that. Apparently it’s is because “fresh air” is needed or something. Really annoying and no way to turn off.

This. Wow perfectly explained. Nice job.

What do you mean by unplug the transfer case? Some sort of electronic stuff you disconnect or did you physically do something?

Black is the prettiest color but the hardest dang color to take care of.

Definitely purge valve that is bad. Pretty common problem.

lol, welcome to the forum and congrats on the new buy. I’ll include a link to my modding guide to help you achieve your goal :-) https://www.explorerst.org/threads/explorer-st-modding-101-guide.7324/

Welcome to the forum! I’ll include a link to my modding guide, it details all the aftermarket parts for our vehicles: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/explorer-st-modding-101-guide.7324/

Really? I thought with the logic presented by @Cruising68 every vehicle that ever was called AWD is 4wd.

I don’t understand, how are there never more than two wheels driving the car at any given time? Most of the time power is being sent to all 4 the wheels.

I meant to mention actuators too. I know what AWD stands for, and the Explorers are AWD with a FWD disconnect.

It’s just a generic QC statement. Not saying it’s absolutely horrible, just little things that might be improved. Seems like every automaker has problems with quality these days.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum and good luck on the search!

Do not use the Steeda pinion bushings. They are horrible, do nothing, and have a high probability of breaking. Otherwise than that everything will do great, and improve performance. Shouldn’t add a whole lot of NVH.

I’d have to disagree. What you explained above, to me is AWD. If it disconnects automatically and drives without any user input and uses clutches to disconnect or distribute power, it’s AWD. With the argument you’re using above, that means every Subaru crossover, or similar vehicle is 4wd.

Usually the differences in jobs are minor differences like Auto Start Stop delete or similar. Maybe some quality control changes.

Welcome and congrats! #itsmywifesST

Both of my STs, the old A-Build 2020 and my current 2022, have that odd clunking at low speeds. Even the 2024 XLT rental car I had was doing it. Seems like a common problem.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the buy. Just keep current on oil changes every 5k miles and check the tranny fluid (they are notoriously underfilled on these vehicles).

Agreed. Probably the nosiest engine I’ve owned.
