    Oil filter

    Didn’t think they changed oil filter for 25. Rock auto has the motorcraft Fl2062a which is listed for my 22 3.0 and 25 3.0 in stock. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Best Oil Catch Can

    Just an fyi. Over a month I did two long road trips of 2500-3000 miles each. Lots of playing during the drives. When I got home the catch can was 3/4 full. I was mildly surprised. Never get much in the can if I’m driving normally but apparently lots more when you are pounding the throttle a...

    Low Oil Level and Oil Pressure *READ ME*

    Not only is the new pan aluminum instead of plastic, it holds over 2qts more with a nice deep baffled sump. I still run 1/2 qt over over with the pan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    COBB Accessport - Goosetuned Tuning thread

    Appreciate the updates. Always nice to see big numbers out of a 3.0. Up in the range of my supercharged V8 ctsv. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Low Bass Sound During Deceleration

    There’s Fake Engine Noise. Makes engine sounds through stereo. You can turn it off using Forscan. Dealer should be able to turn it off and test it. If it goes away after turning it off that’s the issue. Janay of us turned it off asap after buying. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Low Bass Sound During Deceleration

    Not likely engine or exhaust if it doesn’t change when you put it in neutral. My best guesses would be possibly a tire problem or an issue in the drivetrain like driveshaft bearing or diff issue. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Winter warriors?

    It was that or a 5.0 Mustang and everybody had one of those I got the Getrag 5 speed stick. Went through a clutch or two. Had it for over 100k miles. It was definitely reasonably quick but the torque steer was brutal. It served me very well for a first new car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Choice in Oil Filters

    The higher end Frams are fine. They used to use cardboard glued end caps that didn’t like hot wet oil and were a disaster waiting to happen. For my explorer I have run a mobile 1 and a Mann. I think so long as you choose a reputable name with synthetic media you are GTG. Sent from my iPad...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Love the look even on your car[emoji23]. Had an oh crap moment with an inattentive driver the other day. Not sure I could have avoided her if I had the stockers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Steeda Sway Bar Rust Issue

    I have no rust on my 2+ year old Steeda sway bar. I do have a little on the rear springs but purely cosmetic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Extended warranty ?

    Back about 10 years ago Jeep was offering their lifetime extended warranty. Two of my employees bought Grand Cherokees and the warranty. They had so much work covered on those vehicles Jeep begged them to trade them in. The litany of problems they had was really bad including new engines. Sent...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Yeah it’s tough when you can’t drive around unmolested for the process. I have an area near me that is all warehouse so I can spend 15 minutes without much interruption. Nothing wrong with bedding them driving around. Just got to avoid hot stops or you’re toast[emoji23]. If you find that you get...

    Inner door panel

    Sorry, thought you were talking outer panel. The inner panel is a little confusing at first but once you do the glass you will realize it’s pretty simple. Not a huge fan of the two plastic tabs driving the window up and down but many use that design and you don’t really hear about them breaking...

    That oil pan is pretty impressive especially once you pull off that cheesy plastic pan. You’re gonna love the improvements! Make sure you follow the bedding instructions on the front brakes then let us know what you think about the upgrades. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Window tint %?

    Nice. For once the law does something right. I have darker than legal tint on front windows. I also have Police Officers in the family. I’ve never received a tint citation but when I get pulled over both driver side windows are down, license and reg in my hands on the steering wheel, and the...

    Extended warranty ?

    Never liked extended warranties. Sold service contracts for a while and they mostly made money. I bought two extended warranties, one on a 2017 GMC 2500HD Denali and one on my ST. Between emissions issues and def fluid issues along with $1000 power heated folding mirrors, heated seats, and a...
