    Questions for adding sub to 22 B&O

    On top of that, the spare tire well works great for hiding. This was on my 2019 PP2. JL 10, JL speakers and RF amp.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Well, it’s a basic tune for testing. It also might be lugging at 2500 in 3rd gear. You’re running in manual, so it can’t downshift. So, there's a lug, then it takes off. When it takes off, the rattle immediately goes away. I’m not concerned about it; I just reported it. If the radio was on...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Had my 93 base tune available early this morning (very FAST). Just got home, loaded it, made a couple of 2500-6000rpm 3rd-gear runs, and sent them back. I did make note that there was some noticeable ping/rattle at 2500 3rd gear, when you first get on it. He should see all of that anyway.

    2025 no mods w/ ZFG 93 tune

    From my reading, assume Race=approx 100, Performance=80, DD=60 and Tow=40. Oversimplifying, but it gives you an idea, where each one falls from Race. I feel like his percentages for the modes are 100% race, 90%, 60% and 40% as you reduce the tune. Once again, oversimplification from reading his...

    You've already completed a lot of the mod add-ons, so I'm not sure how much you've explored this, but here's what I've learned over the past few weeks, simplified: **Modes:** - Tow - Daily Driver - Performance (which I chose) - Race If we assume that Race provides a 100 hp increase (I'm...

    Fixing to pull the stock info and upload to ZFG for the base tune.

    1/4 mile times

    I'm now in Sport mode all the time. Normal mode is just annoying. That might change once I tune it. When I tuned my Edge ST, I spent more time back in Normal because it performed better than stock, but the transmission would never go into OD. This 7-speed/3-speed OD 10R does a lot better at...

    Installed the version 1.0 Steeda strut bar and torqued it to 22 ft-lbs. My wife is getting me the Steeda rear bar for Christmas.

    New engine

    Just to clarify, it was a "new" motor? I've wondered how they handle this between a new engine and a used/rebuilt engine with regard to warranty.

    New engine

    I always look at engines and transmissions the same way I look at electronics. Either gonna go early, or do you right for a long time.

    Yeah, just waitlisted for Asheville. Will head up with the wife and stay an extra day for the Biltmore.

    Break in period limiting RPMs

    I took it somewhat easy the first 1000, changed the oil at 1200, and haven't really worried about it since. I don't beat on it until it warms up, and that practice is new for both the old and the new car.

    Built Engine Update: Addressing Main Cap Instability in the Nano EcoBoost

    So reading up on the 10R60, and Adams' own posts, considering the 600hp. A daily driver or performance tune doesn't push things too far, depending on how you use it. Drag strip trips aside, and not towing with a 100hp tune added on.

    New tires looking for that expert help

    I think I've seen those before. Plus, for me, it depends on when I buy, whether I'll keep that vehicle much longer, lol. One of my cheaper go to's are Cooper tires.
