    What have you done with Forscan?

    Mines a couple years older than yours so it’s been a while since I did my FORScan mods. Bambi mode, eliminated double honk, turned off fake engine noise. But at the time you couldn’t disable auto start stop. They also had removed changing the number of flashes with a half stalk press. I see by...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed the red inserts. I’ve had them since last December but was on the fence about them. But now that they’re on, I like them!

    ST floormats?

    This guy might be able to help. He made these for me with another Ford logo. I haven’t asked about ST mats yet. Ships from Turkey. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ClassCarDesign

    Painted the ST on the seats

    I tried them. Came out great, I’m happy. I can’t feel them at all.

    Display Gear Number in D mode?

    Thank you for that very “helpful” response…..db

    Display Gear Number in D mode?

    He’s a Mustang tuner. He’s just trying to help a customer.

    Display Gear Number in D mode?

    I know this can’t be done through FORScan. I’ve heard tuners using an HP tuner can do it. I work with a tuner who tuned my other Ford. He’s willing to give it a shot if I can get more info. Anybody know what/where the setting is that needs to be changed?

    Always get good ideas from this thread. Just ordered the iOS version.

    Alert Tone Changed?

    I had noticed it too. But, after seeing zdub’s answer, I realized I haven’t heard it in a while.

    Unexpected infotainment reboot

    Might explain why I haven’t seen it more. I use Sync almost exclusively. Not a huge fan of the cartoonish appearance of CarPlay. I only use Waze and CarPlay on a road trip. I’ll take advantage of the community assistance to avoid supplemental taxation from the king’s highway men.

    Unexpected infotainment reboot

    10,400 miles in 16 months and this is the very first time it’s happened. Seeing it’s more prevalent than I realized, I guess I’m counting my lucky stars…..sort of. Thanks for the feedback!

    Unexpected infotainment reboot

    I was 2 1/2 hours into a 3 1/2 hour trip when I stopped for fuel. I was running Waze on CarPlay on an iPhone 13 Pro. I also had the V1 Gen2 hooked up to its app via Bluetooth so as not to miss anything while enjoying a musical interlude. When I returned to the highway I noticed the orientation...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    It’s just a figure of speech in reference to the feeling of a much higher center of gravity. And since everyone’s point of reference is different, it’s subjective. Suffice it to say, I love the improvement!

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Ford Performance tune and H&R springs. I had H&R’s on a 2016 SHO so I had some idea of what to expect. But it’s still better than I remembered. Feels more stable. Greatly improves cornering. Less like you’re sitting on a bar stool on top of a mattress.

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    I had a very similar situation, exact symptoms, in another Ford performance vehicle. My tuner told me I was probably hitting traction control. It was happening on a roll so I didn’t believe him. He road with me logging with his laptop and I was able to recreate it. Sure enough, hitting traction...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I pretty much found myself in the same situation. I got tired of people not getting back to me. Saying they’d look into it and let me know. So, I just did it myself. I’ll fight the warranty beast if it ever rears it’s head. I’ll have a better chance doing that with a FP tune then another...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I’m pleased with my investment. I probably have about 5 miles driving in “Normal“ mode in a year of ownership. So, I can’t comment on that. But in my normal, Sport, I feel more throttle response and quicker acceleration from a dig and on a roll. Also smoother shifts. I have both custom dyno...

    Oil barley touching the dip stick 1000 miles

    I’m at 4322 miles. Checked the oil yesterday and it was below the 2nd hole. But the truck had only been sitting an hour or so. Made a mental note to check it in the morNing. Now it’s maybe half a quart low. But, on a new motor, is it fairly common? I’ve seen some on here who have had worse, some...

    How are you cleaning the perforated leather?

    Yes, it leaves a shine on the leather that seemed to last (I traded the car in) and smells great! But the scent fades fast while the shine lasts.
