    Platinum

    If you're truly serious about the ST gearing, start with buying a timberline rear diff. Then you get the 3.58 gears and a Torsen LSD. Then just buy the ST front diff or swap the gears- whatever's cheaper. From your plans, I hope you have deep pockets!

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    Mid 10s will cost you! I admire your ambition, but you better think about a budget first. Forget about stock turbos, or even the upgraded turbos available from CR or Pure. The housings are too small on the bolt-on stockers. So plan on moving to a single turbo platform or a custom twin turbo...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Look, if you don't understand math, don't embarrass yourself by spouting "logic" and your concept of "reason". It undermines any credibility you have. It's not logical or reasonable to debate that which you haven't the slightest knowledge. You sound like you're fifteen! :ROFLMAO:

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    That number is not arbitrary! You obviously have never taken a statistics class. There are formulae that predict a population size to give estimates with 95% confidence interval which is considered significant. If you take the estimate of 20% of explorers are STs, that works out to a population...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    I have written about that product several times. It is NOT a viable solution. It has no possible way of protecting against the differential rotation, since it's not designed correctly. The other vendor's product is far better. On a second note, statistically speaking, when you actually have...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    In the two documented instances I'm aware of, when it broke, they fixed it with the 4 bolt. As I posted before (on the countless threads on this same subject), you have a five year warranty during which they'll fix it.

    Rear end damage

    Part of the a cover for the torque limiting being applied in 1st gear. Kills two birds with one stone. I didn't hear enough pearl-clutching hysterics on these threads the past two years, so I guess someone should stir the pot!

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    If you are going to buy something, buy the AWR. The other offering is not designed correctly, much as I like FenFab's other products.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    If you look at the dates, of post #11, every single explorer ever built falls under that recall. So yes, my 2020 with two bolt falls under recall.

    Stock turbo PSI???

    I don't think 22.3 sounds high- it all depends on the volumetric efficiency at the rpm where that boost peaks. The stock turbos have relatively small compressors and turbines, so it doesn't sound out of line. Does the tuner list the RPM at 22.3?

    Rear end damage

    Of course, the jury is still out on the "fix", but I am betting that if it is a PCM fix, it'll be something that may not limit hp/torque, as that would just open up another can of worms. If you think of it from a manufacturer's perspective, the best way to handle this midterm would be something...

    FYI: Maximum Speed In Gears ...

    I did a little spreadsheet on rpm drop in gears- shifting at 6000 2nd gear 3815 3rd gear 4302 4th gear 4939 5th gear 5159 6th gear 5030 7th gear 4706 So, one of us is off on our math

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    There are about a dozen different conversations going on in this thread! I'm trying to ascertain whether their are indeed big differences between the 3.0 lincoln and the ST, you are looking at 2.7 vs 3.0, unbroken is fielding questions on both, and the original poster thankfully missing! This...

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    I should have been more specific- the turbos from the 400hp lincoln and st are the same.

    Post your Dragy times.

    I didn't call you either of those things! I just didn't see the point of showing what you did as evidence. So if you were offended, then I apologize. Now on to why the times may not be the same- GPS is only accurate to about 5 meters or worse depending on the signal and many other variables...

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    I was looking at the Lincoln manuals for the 3.0. They may have changed things for the ST. I did a bunch of research on the 2.7 vs 3.0 (Lincoln), before I bought my ST thinking it was the same, so it's more than possible things have changed. Even now, although they use the lincoln prefix, the...

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    It does share part numbers for heads and intake. It's definitely different, but not particularly a "clean sheet" design. I think jury is still out on the CGI vs aluminum block. It does have that block skirting which is aluminum, so I suppose one could try a magnet on the block under the heads...

    ZFG93 baseline

    Yep, here's the truth- you're curious whether an @ZFGracing baseline tune is the same as Joe-Bob's tune which is cheaper $. I can definitely see that if you want to save some money you can buy something else. If you thought for a moment, you'd see it will never be an apples-apples comparison...

    And what possible use would this information be?
