    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...

    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.

    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...

    Pre orders Wide Body and Front Splitter

    I agree, I'm using large washers on both sides as well. Still hoping I can get under there from the screws holding the bottom of the clip. Haven't looked at it since the WHipple install so not sure.

    Pre orders Wide Body and Front Splitter

    I did not receive any instructions with mine. I was hoping I could avoid removing the clip again. Planning on drilling holes and using rivnuts.

    Excessive brake dust

    My CTSV had horrible brake dust but great brakes. I used the spray on wheel protectant and it helped keep them a little cleaner and the dust sprayed off easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ceramic coating - Avalon King

    Used Avalon King on a few vehicles. One a mostly garaged 66 Mustang any my Explorer. The Florida Mustang gets out for a week of driving 4 times a year. It is 2 years since the treatment and it still looks like the day I did it. Had it on my Explorer for 3 months but it seems to be holding up...
