    More dealer service problems

    Sorry, my previous post was rhetorical. No model year ST came with an engine cover. Not mine ('23), not folks with the earliest of '20s, and none of the folks in this thread who have/have seen a '25. Edit: did it look like this?

    The '25 STs have an engine cover?

    Oil Consumption

    It looks like you're reading little tidbits of information here and there and getting all worked up over nothing. "Consuming 1 qt of oil between changes" is what manufactures would call within spec, and it can happen especially with the extended oil change intervals vehicles have today compared...

    mirror power tap how to disconnect this connector?

    It's difficult to describe, you gotta be firm yet cautious? I tried using a plastic trim tool but it ended up not having enough leverage to it so I just carefully pulled the whole thing off with my hands. It's probably not as delicate as we think it is.

    Fullscreen question

    Hardest part is getting the timing right when doing a reset of the infotainment and inserting the jailbreak USB.

    Fullscreen question

    Not really much expense other than the thumb drives to load the software. Personally I think it's a huge improvement over the stock layout. I can't say it's any more or less laggy than it was before the mod, I've never liked Sync3 or the touch screen compared to the Uconnect8 I had in my Charger.

    does PIU rear brace help handling

    Didn't notice that. Hitting the booze early.

    Reverse brake assist

    It's part of a backup camera recall. There's a good chance it was never done on your vehicle. If the dealership has the parts on hand it will be quick, I got mine done during an oil change.

    does PIU rear brace help handling

    You mean rear swaybar? I've seen it posted here that the PIU swaybar is a couple mm thicker than non, but not as thick as an aftermarket like Steeda (which is 25mm I think). So yes, there is a difference.

    Weep Hole Plugs

    Years back on my Pontiac G8 GT, it had a problem common among the model, the weep holes in the door were also the holes the push pins went in to hold the weather stripping on the bottom of the door. They were notorious for getting clogged with junk. Every now and then, especially after a lot...

    Smoke from exhaust on startup

    If the turbos started to leak, they'll continue to leak. Other causes could be bad valve seals or bad compression causing oil blowby. Of those two, since you only see the smoke on startup, it'd likely be the valve seals. Constant smoke while driving, or puffs of smoke when taking off from a...

    Glad it worked out but damn all those mislabellings is still a little concerning.

    Rear interior compartment cover

    Lot of carpeting choices on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Flooring-Carpeting/b?ie=UTF8&node=15710161 You can also get yourself a cargo mat instead, that will keep that cover in place. They're pretty cheap for off brands and even cover the back of the 3rd row seats.

    new 2023 ST Explorer and forscan and gauges

    Is there any reference material, or list of PIDs and their values for Forscan Lite, or at least a list of useful PIDs? There is an overwhelming amount of them.

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    Can't speak about the time duration, but the only issue I've had with maps, whether waze or Google, it sometimes crashes after using the reverse or forward cameras. It just says it failed to load retry and tapping that the map comes back up like nothing happened.

    2020 Explorer ST unknown sound

    Gotcha. I was leaning towards possibly an HVAC blend door actuator motor, being behind the dash could also make it sound like it's under the hood. Are you able to reproduce the noise with the hood open?

    Let's Discuss Intakes!

    You run a fenfab intake I'm betting, and you're defensive about what you perceive is a critique on it. Which is dumb because what I was saying to the person I was responding to was "yeah, the air is probably cooler because of where it's drawing air from." You just regurgitated what I said when...

    2020 Explorer ST unknown sound

    Does it sound like it could be coming from inside the cabin too? Any issues with HVAC not blowing correctly or blowing the correct temps?
