    October Software Update Installed Today

    And if you have an auto start/stop eliminator, you once again have to unhook the negative battery terminal for a little while and hook it back up for it to work properly. WTH is it with these updates that disables the auto start/stop eliminator.. . After this October update, my start/stop...

    October Software Update Installed Today

    Or... the issue could be due to this recall notice I just received. Apparently the dome light is a affected item per this letter.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Until you have certain over the air updates. Certain updates deactivate the S/S eliminator and you need to unhook the negative battery terminal for a few mins and then hook it back up to have the S/S eliminator work correctly again. I've had (2) updates that messed with it and that is the...

    Autostop Eliminator Causing faults on 2025

    I don't believe its the auto S/S eliminator that is problematic itself. Ford over the air updates affect it sometimes and the fix is to reset everything by removing the neg. battery cable. I believe the mandated start / stop is going away with the Trump administration so possibly Ford will make...

    Autostop Eliminator Causing faults on 2025

    I have a 25' ST with the same AS eliminator. Recent Ford updates have been screwing with the AE eliminator. I am not having the issues you are but at times it hasn't kept the last setting because of updates. The fix is to remove the negative battery cable for about 15 mins or longer anbd then...

    Bought a New 2025 Explorer ST

    But you still bought that particular one with the $5K roof.. was there no other one anywhere to be found or is that an option you were seeking out? For me personally, there is no way in hell I would even pay half of that for just a black roof.

    Coil Spring Inserts

    I'm unsure if anyone makes a 1/2" spacer for the rear. Maybe call Traxda and ask if they would make a custom set of 1/2" rear spacers for you. I will say that watching Traxda's own video of how they install their lift in the rear of the Explorer is complete BS. I did not do it the way they...

    Install J&L catch can

    Its hard to remember because it was in July of 2024 but I believe I cut the OEM fitting and locking tab apart with a pair of dyke cutters in order to remove it. The UPR kit I purchased came with new hoses with connectiors that are push tab removable.

    I have a UPR oil catch can on my 25'. Look up their installation video on their website and that might be the help you need.

    Coil Spring Inserts

    Coil inserts are GARBAGE and should never be used. They help nothing and screw up the ride by limiting spring travel. If you truly want to lift the rear, you need proper spacers. I have a Traxda 1 1/2" lift on my Explorer. If you truly want to be a little higher, you need to add correct spacers...

    Hi all, I just purchased a 2020 ST with factory tow

    Yes, I installed the airbags myself and I did follow their instructions. The airbags are a pain in the ass to get them into the inside of the coil springs.. putting dishsoap on them helps them slide in but it also makes them slippery in your hands while working with them. The other red part in...

    Hi all, I just purchased a 2020 ST with factory tow

    After you have the brake controller installed and set, the only other thing to consider is tongue weight. Anything beyond 300 pounds and you start seeing the rearend squat. I haul a trailer with nearly 400 lbs. of tongue weight and I installer Airlift brand rear spring airbags. I add around 30...

    Tinting gone wrong, elsewhere - need help

    Use your VIN # when the new panel is ordered. Be sure what is ordered whether you order it or someone else does, that it aligns with your vehicles VIN. You can also call a dealer and give them your VIN and have them look up the correct panel (and part number) for your vehicle. Like UNBROKEN said...

    Steeda sub frame bushing kit

    I have a 25' ST. I have these Steeda bushing supports and have never heard any added noise what so ever from them. I also have a diff brace, a JXB bushing insert for the 3-bolt subframe, and a Traxda 1.5" lift kit on it. No added noise or vibrations for me on anything.

    Charging with a charger in garage

    I believe if the vehicle is not started over a certain period of time, the vehicle automatically goes into a deep sleep mode (AKA battery saving mode). I do believe this is regardless of having a maintainer on it or not.

    Explore ST 2025 model and center screen not loading profile

    Mine shows the Explorer screen for up to around 30 seconds or more randomly. A couple of weeks ago the screen started to boot up but stayed blank. I waited a bit and still nothing. I shut off the vehicle and restarted it and it was still the same. I was on a day trip 250 miles away from home so...
