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

    Okay, I'm not on LeftistBook but I can view the "Explorer ST Owners" page. Seems some guy with a tuned ST just broke a rear diff bolt (no brace) and the post has the usual hundred comments. Then someone said stock ST's have broken their bolts "left and right", but two posts later says he's...

    Considering my 1st Tune

    Don't do it! You will regret it forever! jk I would have done it already were it not for the 1/3 rear bolt issue. And I'm not going to add a brace and then maybe have the dealer service dept ask me on a routine visit "Heh, what's that thing under the car?"

    Result from dealer service center.

    Never heard that one before about the brakes. I guess as long as the car is braking okay and the mechanic said it was fine, not much else you can do. On a side note, I had a rattle coming from the back of my ST. Dealer said it was a vibrating fuel line across the top of the fuel tank and...

    I thought this was a Durango SRT forum? (Lol jk) Enter here at your own risk, it's guaranteed you'll spending many hours here.:)

    Result from dealer service center.

    What annoying brake noise are you hearing? Auto Start-Stop is intermittent unless you turn it off or you go into Sport Mode. You do not have to pay a diagnosis fee if you're reporting a first time problem with the vehicle.

    Hiding in the dark

    To really hide out you need to black out those red brake calipers!

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    Back in the day, I was stopped for tinted windows and ticketed. No speeding, no drinking, nothing. Just tinted windows. I was told if I removed the tint by the court date that the fine would be dropped. So I removed it, it was a real PITA. From that day forward I vowed never to tint any of my...

    ST vs. The Competition

    Alex on Autos bought a Durango SRT and gave it a "D" for fuel economy. He was getting 14.9 mpg combined.

    ST vs. The Competition

    I came to the same conclusion when shopping for a high performance SUV. Nothing comes close to the ST for price/performance except for the Audi SQ5, but the Audi's lines are too "curvy" for me. The ST's lines are way more aggressive.(y)

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    Thanks, that was a ton of info. Where I live, the law reads: "The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light." So for me the 33-35% would be illegal.

    ST vs. The Competition

    Well, no one's posted here in a while so I thought C&D's recent comparison test would be of interest ... MDX Type-S is a bit slower, but costs $17k - $14k more than an ST: Price (base/as tested) $67,895/$73,745 0-60 mph: 5.4 sec 1/4 Mile: 14.0 sec @ 101 mph Durango SRT is a good bit faster...

    (y) Tell me about it. The Aurora Black Stinger GT I had needed a dose of ceramic detail spray at least twice a week. My Iconic Silver ST, about once a month. Lol Speaking of black vehicles, that's the first Agate Black ST I've seen with the 20' wheels/tires. That thing is sharp, more pics...

    Explorer ST 1/4 Mile Time Slips

    Anything to help young people these days is sorely needed, they're up against a Commie/Socialist world gone mad. That sad fact aside, the track still should've been prepped.

    Post your Dragy times.

    I like the way you think.

    Dragy 10Hz, RaceBox 10Hz or RaceBox Mini 25Hz?

    Okay, I just turned a [email protected] mph. And even though DRAGY shows it as "VALID", I know the road curved to the L so I'm not posting it.

    Post your Dragy times.

    Put some soft compound tires on those 18's and make a lap down the quarter. haha

    FS 21" New take offs (only 40mi) located in NH

    Okay, I have to ask. You special ordered your ST with the 21's and waited 6 months for it to come in. Why the desire now for the factory 20's? Just curious, as it seems most people want the 21's. Thanks.
  19. CareerFiremanGuy

    Post your Dragy times.

    Absolutely. I was just saying the diff between the 20's and 21's because I plan on keeping my OEM 20's.
  20. CareerFiremanGuy

    Very rough render of what i hope a would be Explorer R would look like.

    Okay, I had to see the side-by-side diff. Now I get it! Some type of functional hood scoop would be nice too.
