    Does the dealer pull the rear diff cover to do bolt recall?

    My 2022 doesn’t get driven much but I noticed gear oil at rear on garage floor. My buddy is an ase master tech and doesn’t have the back problem I have so he crawled under it. The rear diff cover has some rtv hanging out from diff cover and there is definitely gear oil slow dripping from rear. I...

    Charging error and battery saver issue

    I know this is an old thread but just wanted to comment regarding key proximity. My buddy is an ase master tech for 30+ years and works at one of the biggest car dealers in my area. They have special battery boxes that have faraday shields to stop the cars from communicating with the keys...

    Dashcam install (heavy pics)

    Probably the same film. I think they call it 'static film' or something. But it sticks to the glass then you stick the camera to it instead of directly to the glass. I could see it blocking UV somehow....

    Dashcam install (heavy pics)

    Thank you for the write up. Just ordered a Viofo and your write up will definitely help. I did have a weird question that probably doesn't matter but I am curious about it. Why do many of these dash cam makers use these little pieces of film that stick to the windshield first then the cameras...

    RTD device and software question

    I got my ST last year. Had it tuned using the RTD device through ZFG and love it. I had an issue that was intermittent and I never logged it but now decided to see if Adam could take a look. Plugged the device into the obd port and tried to open the app on my new iPhone but after trying to...

    noises when engine off and doors shut.

    Ok. Thanks all for the responses. Even my neighbors who were sitting outside with us looked over a few times. Just weird. I appreciate it. As long as its normal, its all good.

    noises when engine off and doors shut.

    I have noticed this before. But it was very prevalent when we were sitting outside near the garage last night. I did have my key in my pocket. So it was maybe 10-15ft away from the explorer. But the ST made a number of weird noises multiple times while we were sitting there. Sounded like...

    Any good write ups on replacing spark plugs?

    Agree. Is hard to get to them. Specially if you have big hands. I used a 6in extension and plug socket. Had to hold the socket in the hole and attach the extension to the socket while it was down in the hole. Seen some guys say they did all 6 in an hour. I almost want to call BS. Took me a...

    Any good write ups on replacing spark plugs?

    I did the drivers side tonight. Will do the passenger side tomorrow. Lost the rubber sleeve inside one of my plug sockets. Not on a plug or down one of the holes. So it must be under something in my garage. Anyone ever tried one of these magnetic spark plug sockets? If not, any sockets you...

    Interesting test of windshield water repellents...

    I use Adams ceramic for glass. It works great. Relatively cheap (for a graphene ceramic product) and super easy to apply. Not saying it's the best out there. But it's the best of what I have personally tried.

The pro adds in onboard memory and a mount Iirc. Curious if anyone has thoughts if the pro is worth it or just get the regular...

    Any good write ups on replacing spark plugs?

    I have done my own tune ups on cars my whole life. Not unfamiliar with it at all. But these, especially the passenger side look a little harder to get to than average. just curious if there are any good write ups or videos to show the easiest way to get to them if anyone has one. please link if...

    Anyone install catless ‘offroad’ downpipes???

    I have used catless down pipes on a number of cars in the past. Mostly for aftermarket kits on naturally aspirated cars like a mercury marauder with ford GT supercar head and cam swap, mustangs, etc. So I have some familiarity with catless cars. I was thinking it might elimnate some of the heat...

    Anyone ceramic coat the black trim?

    I haven’t really used ceramic on plastic trim on other cars. Only on paint and glass. But I know most instructions say it’s fine for trim as well. just curious to hear from others who have used ceramic coatings on the slightly textured black trim on the ST’s. I have always been wary of using...

But when he is tied up and/or his lift is occupied with another project, I end up waiting. would like to...
