I've raised my hand! Great info from Ford Performance BTW.(y) Just be careful on the forum as there are a number of people who clearly demonstrate no working knowledge of anything autmotive (much less on the ST). Lol I haven't posted more on the FP tune because typical Summer heat/humidity...

Here's two vids of a Ford mechanic dealing with the flex pipe rattling issue. In the first vid he's diagnosing the problem and ordering new parts, in the second vid he's making the repairs.

True. It seems most agencies don't order the 3.0L Interceptors. Unless it was replaced with a 4 bolt, I don't see how they can say you don't need the software. The 3.0L is "available", but it seems few (if any) departments are ordering them. And seeing how there's 12,000 local police...

I would point to the lack of hundreds of other people reporting large numbers of Explorers on dealer lots awaiting rear ends, as indicative of something less than a major issue. I would ask where is the outpoor of complaints by LEO's complaining of same. If I am going to believe such a thing, I...

Depends on what one means by "major issues" vs. maybe "an ongoing problem." My definition of "major issues" would mean every dealer in the nation having dozens of Explorers with broken bolts/bushings/bearings on their lot. Regardless of how we feel about the issue, that is just not the case. I...

Heh Alan. I can see this thread going on for, oh, around 100 pages. Lol My thoughts are this ... The issue was serious enough for Ford to issue their CYA electronic brake thingy "recall", but not serious enough to stop Ford Performance from selling a warranty backed tune that increased hp and...

It should be noted the Dragy's reported temp was once again off. It was actually ~10 deg warmer so the actual DA was considerably higher than 1,100 ft. And an 1/8 ET of 8.39 converts to a 13.10 quarter, so a 13.0 in cooler weather is virtually guaranteed. Seeing I have no other mods but the...

Dropped another tenth from previous best of 4.92, eighth was 8.39. Not enough road for a full 1/4, might have to go to the track for that. (FP Tune & AWR brace, nothing else)

I got the tune from Lethal Performance when it was on sale. Regarding getting it installed in Cali, it appears you're out of luck for right now.

I was pleasantly surprised with the FP tune. No complaints. I pointed out that the harshness of Sport Mode has nearly been eliminated. I rarely drive in Normal or any other mode, so I can't really comment about them.

And CC, now that I'm into day 2 of the FP tune all I can say is I'm even more impressed with it now. This thing boogies with the tune! And the shifting in Performance Sport Mode has almost completely smoothed out.(y)

The description for the FP EXPLORER CALIBRATION says that to retain the original FORD 3/36 warranty it needs to be installed by a FORD dealer or SAE/Red Seal certified tech from new vehicle in service. (see first pic/link) If I'm reading it correctly, if your vehicle was put into service on...

I kid you not CC, the power difference with the FP tune is definitely noticeable. That is born out by the fact that my best stock 0-60 mph time before the tune was 5.34 sec on a cold day in February with negative DA. The FP tune run of 4.92 sec on a July day with +1,265 ft DA says a lot. That's...

Nope. The first ST I bought in April of '22 remained 100% bone stock, and when I traded it on another one in Sept of '22 it also remained 100% bone stock until now.

FP tune (because warranty) AWR brace (because tune) Everything else bone stock, very pleased with the result NOTES tune dealer installed, 1 hour shop labor, great master tech showed me everything he did single run, 3/4 tank 93 octane, ~50 lbs equipment in the car, TC OFF this tune has 4.8's...

It could be cut down to ~4 pages if all the irrelevant and irrational comments were deleted. The radically misinformed are ruining it, no surprise. It's the internet. Lol Alternatively. It's not just about New vs. Older out of warranty ST's. Even if someone had an older ST, the FP tune is the...

Just curious, did you get a quote from the dealer on installation cost?

I agree with you for the most part, but I will never fail in directly responding to lies and misinformation. I'm all about data, and if someone refutes concrete information then I will attempt to correct their errors, failing that, I will block them. I don't have time to waste on people who...

I just have one critical observation.... Honestly, what is your major malfunction?? You have a "kumbaya" nature that suggests any/all opinions are equal. Drop it already, that soyboy attitude got old decades ago. No one is interested in hearing your incessant whining that tears down the...

Keep the great FP tune reviews coming in! You're securely shutting the mouths of all the uninformed whiners, and that's great to see.:ROFLMAO:(y)
