    What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

    93. Have run that in my last 6 cars. 4 ecoboosts and 2 coyotes (all 6 were tuned). Wife's Lincoln got 93, and now her Porsche does too.

    Steeda or aFe Sway-Bar?

    I’m fairly certain the hole closest to the bar is the stiffest setting, which makes sense when you think about it. The hole farthest from the bar would be the softest. I went with the middle setting. On a curve I drive every day, pushing it a bit, I was able to carry about 5 mph more than...

    Park brake automatically on

    Mine sets on a hill every time I park on a steep incline. I just hit the button once my foot is on the brake.

    Autostop Eliminator Causing faults on 2025

    Mine has been in since the first week without issue. Makes me wonder if that particular unit has a flaw.

    Steeda Or ZFGR Tuning.

    Exactly. From what I understand, the counter only tracks ignition cycles since the last ECU update. I tuned the truck about 1–2 months after purchasing it, so naturally the ignition cycle count will be high. I also assume that if Ford pushes an ECU update, it would reset that counter — so if...

    What viscosity of engine oil are you using?

    I went 40 on my Coyotes, but I beat those cars. Going to have Speed Diagnostics perform a couple of samples on the Explorer before I do anything else. It's a daily driver.

    White flaky substance at rear AC?

    White flaky substance at rear AC?

    I did not have it open any during the rains or freezes, but I did have it detailed. Maybe it got hit with some spray, and then moisture was present. It has produced any more, so maybe that was it...

    White flaky substance at rear AC?

    We had heavy rain on the weekends of the 21st and 28th. I wasn't able to find much other than a comment about a condenser coating. Nothing out of the other vents, just where the rear unit is. We have had a lot of freezing weather the last 14 days too. To me it looks like hard water dried and...

    White flaky substance at rear AC?

    Any ideas? It is all dry, so it happened sometime in the last week to 10 days, as I haven't been in the back.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Circling back to Normal vs. Sport — I just prefer Sport. On the interstate, it really doesn’t make much difference. But in city driving, Sport is the clear winner for me. The throttle response feels sharper and more connected. You just have to keep your right foot in check so it doesn’t think...

    So odd...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    So I am guessing the digital gauge just has one spot for the "range". After 10 miles this morning, 39 degrees, about 60mph steady, the digital gauge was middle of the M on the transmission, where it never exceeds. So maybe it hits there around 170, and just stays there until the transmission...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    I wasn't sure the preferred temp. I feel like the cooling is so good, its too good. Mustang 10R80 took FOREVER.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Well thats good to know.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Well thats odd. I've just been using the digital gauge, but it makes the midpoint after driving about 60mph for 10 minutes. Now, at 25 degrees, it's def longer. Sport Mode definitely behaves better when it's warmed up.
