    New to the Forum, but had my ST for a while now.

    Nice to see the miles. On forums we only tend to get convo about making them look better, making them faster, or how much they have broken down lol.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    The Summer Mich and Conti's have always been good to me. Just always realize if its under 40 degrees that day, to take it easy. Thats all I ran on my mustangs and edge ST, and will continue with the Explorer once I make a tire/wheel/lowering decision.

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    I can vouch that I have used AE on four different vehicles, and they have been great.

    Rear Sway Bar Feel

    It helps for sure. I have sharp curve I take every morning, gained about 10mph by adding the sway bar. I have noticed, if you turn too far on the wheel, it will dig in more and over steer you in that direction, so it took a little getting used to.

    Lowering Spring Change up.

    After all of the reading, it seems consistent. For me, I want the smallest drop because I think the stance is nice now. So I'll prob go Steeda, just to keep it around 1".

    Car Battery Recommendations?

    We have a local chain that sells all types. I just make sure it's one of the big three or whatever American-made brands, and it's an AGM obviously. It's usually Deka(east penn) if I can choose.

    Velgen VF9 22x10.5

    I'm seriously thinking about the Bronze 5 spoke 22's on mine, but it'll be a while before I spend that money lol.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Only complaint about the app, and I put it in the first post. The logger takes way too long.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Yeah, I pulled over kinda on the side of a 4 lane. Hit start logging, waited for all this nonsense to happen, and when it was finally logging, I got out and did my run.

    Need Help Diagnosing 10R60 Transmission Noise / Slippage (occurs weekly - videos captured)

    The best way to confuse a 10R is to start by giving it full send-type throttle, maybe for a pass or whatever, then let off (say you think you saw incoming traffic), and then get back in it when you figure out there is no traffic. The tease blip, and then resume go, will freak it out.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Hell, mine took about 10 seconds once I hit start before they actually started logging (loading services). Then stop logging and sync.

    Window sticker not showing the ST SUV experience

    July build, 2025 ST 4WD, it says it right above the MSRP, bottom middle. But I did get a flyer in the mail afterward advertising it because I had not really paid attention. I am on the waiting list for 2026.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    I logged mine with the knock and reported it in notes. The knock wasn't nasty, only when starting off at the low RPM in 3rd gear. Yes, the 1-2 shift is full send.

    The 10R's get confused now and then, but haven't ever seen them get that confused...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Depending on throttle usage, you will have more firm shifts in Sport. Likely increased line pressure to reduce heat. It behaves more like a Mustang 10R80 now. I have learned that most of the time I dont need a lot of pedal to get moving, so I don't feel the hard shifts as much. Just getting used...
