    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Thanks. I really like sport mode, but it has its drawbacks. 75% of my back and forth only needs normal, but in the afternoons, I am leaning toward sport while in traffic. It just behaves faster, moving in and out of cars. I also find that if I let it fully warm up, the odd shift habits tend to...

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    Also had Eibach as the softest wrong too in my summary; actually, H&R. I may just keep the rake and go with Steeda. When I really get on this thing, where it be from a light, or even running 40mph, the ass already squats. Not sure I want it level.

    Awesome! How long have you been on the tune, and how often do you run sport mode?

    We are kinda getting OT, but I'm glad where I live, I don't have to worry about that (going to jail for standing my ground).

    They suck on wet too. I'll be getting some extreme contact DWS06 soon.It rains too much here for this BS. Same as the Goodyears that came on my last Mustang. Skating in the rain.

    That's one I read about today.

    Rear-End Squeak - Steeda Anti-Sway Bar

    Gotcha. I'll be curious to see what happens with mine. Odd thing is, one line of thinking is don't grease it at all, and greasing makes it worse. But I don't know enough about the material to argue either way.

    Rear-End Squeak - Steeda Anti-Sway Bar

    https://www.steeda.com/energy-suspension-formula-5-prelube-grease-pack ?? Did they load it up with grease during the install?

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    Yeah, I misworded; instead of most drop least to most, it should just say drop least to most.

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    LOL, it was relative. I just thought I’d read that they were the least stiff, but I assume they’re all “firm” in reality. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I don’t want the rake, so Eibach is probably my first choice at the moment. It’ll be March anyway, so I still have plenty of...

    What am I hearing?

    Yeah, I would say you are def fighting the Nevada 91 octane.

    All I know is I am slowly losing faith in these Pirellis.

    LOL. Guess they have to keep everyone guessing. Kinda like removing options and standard features mid model year...

    Crazy.

    What am I hearing?

    Interesting. Wonder why they would raise 2025... Turbo model change? I mean nothing else really changed I thought.

    NGK Plug change, and don't go to Ford to have it done.

    Yeah, that is where I am at lol. What is my time worth, whereas being younger and forced to, because I was limited on funds? I cut down a tree recently, and got out there with an axe yesterday and split it for my fireplace rack. My thought halfway through the axe usage was, why in the ****...

    NGK Plug change, and don't go to Ford to have it done.

    I get that, but nowadays I find good shops. I worked on mechanical equipment for years, and my wrists are shot. I'd rather pay a reliable person.

    What am I hearing?

    Great stuff there. Ultimately, after a lot of reading, I decided to leave the intake side and intercooler alone. For my use, I do not need the upgrades. I am honestly about done short of lowering springs and maybe new wheels. The vehicle drives excellently and is plenty fast for its size. I...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Just a quick update on running in Normal mode. I’ve pretty much gotten used to it now. It takes more pedal input, but the 10R60 is much more tame and pleasant overall. Cabin noise is also noticeably lower. I assume there’s more FENG in Sport mode (I haven’t dug into the details—I just know it’s...
