    Used Oil Analysis Results

    I prefer amsoil over Mobil1, but I used 0w-40 in my last ST once it was tuned. Currently using Amsoil 5W-30 in my new one, and will likely switch over to a 40W again once it's tuned.

    2025 Explorer ST - Basic mods on 93oct + Goosetuned....How much power does it make?!

    I wasn't sure what exactly you were saying initially. You said you, "Capped the torque", and I guess the way I've understood the process, I would've expected you to say you set the boost limit to there. Potato-Potato, I get it now. Thanks for clearing it up.

    Rear differential noise on decel

    People tend to forget that when you tighten things up, you often increase NVH. If you're sensitive to it, and don't have other mods to deaden such sounds (like an exhaust), then you're likely to notice a noise increase, even if it's subtle. I had the JXB on my last explorer, which already had...

    2025 Explorer ST - Basic mods on 93oct + Goosetuned....How much power does it make?!

    What do you mean by you capped the torque there because you want it to have downpipes? I'm not as adept at the tuning process on these as I have been with vehicles I owned in the past so that's confusing. If it COULD have more power as it sits, why do the downpipes help?

    FS CV Fabrication catted downpipes NEW in Box

    Good deal for someone. If you told them you got a newer one after the failure, they'd have probably just upgraded you for $100, or maybe even free. They have pretty good customer service.

    Don't hit my foot when you shoot

    The Platinum already had the same engine. The numbers are probably just for EPA stuff, and nothing actually changed if I had to guess.

    How Much Faster is Our Steeda TUNED Explorer ST?

    This is literally just like saying, "oh, it's faster, how much faster? Well we don't know. just trust us." Gotta get some #'s!

    Diff Bolts very hard to get out.

    Ahh, yeah. ID Speed is nice! Livernois and Steeda are nice as well.

    Diff Bolts very hard to get out.

    Ahh, you meant a specific one, not in general. Which one you waiting on?

    Diff Bolts very hard to get out.

    I wonder if you overtightened when you put the inserts in? Ive also heard of people having issues if the car isnt on a level surface, either of those?

    Diff Bolts very hard to get out.

    What do you mean? Theres plenty of diff brace options out there.

    January Ford Experience Software Update

    Mine isn't having that issue specifically, but my auto-folds sometimes fail to unfold on my brand new 26 when unlocked. If I hit the fold/unfold button on the inside, the opened one will fold in, and then when I hit it, they will both unfold. Only happens sometimes. Pain in the butt.

    Reccomendations for car wash soap for ceramic coated Explorer ST

    You can feel how you want, but it's developed as a wash for coated vehicles that you can still use on uncoated vehicles.

    Reccomendations for car wash soap for ceramic coated Explorer ST

    I like CarPro HydroFoam from a foam cannon. I also really like their darkside tire shine. Adams and Poorboys both make good products too. Lots of good stuff out there. Lots of people suggesting Adams, but just like ChemicalGuys they've gone downhill since they started doing big time distribution.

    So ZFG Racing, what's next for the go fast?

    What's the Gray line that has less HP but almost 100 more TQ?

    So ZFG Racing, what's next for the go fast?

    Im curious how you're "only" running E32 on an E50 tune and seeing big results. ZFG's 93 Octane Tune is good for up to E30, so it perplexes me a bit. Those numbers also seem pretty high if your mod list in the signature is accurate.

    Park City ST Experience!

    It isn't on the window sticker anymore. Like I was telling someone else, I bought a '26 just because it was newer than the '25. If I had known they seem to be making the ST Experience 25 only, I wouldve went with the 25, because I have really been looking forward to that. Hopefully they'll work...

    Per Ford, No future upgrades to Bluecruise

    Im having really mixed feelings with the BC and cruise in general on my new '26. Even with "predictive" speed off and set to 80, it likes to cut itself down to, sometimes, below 60MPH before a curve, or with the auto lane change, I will be obviously approaching a slower vehicle for a good amount...

    FS FS CT MOTO Intake NEW

    Good looking intake, but I can't believe he ships it with those no-name china filters and not something name-brand for $700. At $600, it's a good deal with no wait for someone. FREE BUMP!

    New (To Me) 2020 ST-- With issues already.

    Im not sure, they didn't say anything about "catching up", they flatly said they that I wasn't eligible due to having a '26. Spite the fact that they have a TON of dates available.
