I'm not sure about a bit of wind, but a friend and I attended a car show with his 68 Hurst Olds back in the mid '90s. He had an open trailer and used a car cover on the car. We arrived after 10 hours and the next morning when we took the cover off, we found several spots on the car that were...

A quick turn accompanied by acceleration could cause a low-oil level or loss of oil pressure event. Certainly some things might trigger a "protect components" strategy. It probably resolved itself after no re-occurrences over a certain time period. Please report back on what Adam comes up with.

The ST uses vacuum wastegates driven from a pump. That means the wastegates can be opened under command of the ECU at any time. You're sure there are no DTCs despite not having the CEL lit? I would initially suspect some other non-critical issue triggered a protection strategy- which still...

No worries, it would be EXTREMELY difficult for anyone to steal ST converters due to location. It's more likely some fool might take your H-pipe thinking it was a cat!

Maybe I missed your intent, but you pull up on the 'button' to set the brake and push down to release it.

Very well put!

To expand upon what @UNBROKEN wrote, ethanol and gasoline have different timing and air/fuel ratios. While the ECU can compensate for some of this while you're just tooling down the road, with a tune should you go out and beat on it you're asking for trouble. It's not just an octane number.

What do you base this on? Torsen isn't a "locking" diff. Any stability control I'm aware of is using g-force and the differential of the ratio of inside vs outside wheel speed sensors during cornering. Neither the former nor the latter is affected by a Torsen LSD. You're right, the different...

If you're truly serious about the ST gearing, start with buying a timberline rear diff. Then you get the 3.58 gears and a Torsen LSD. Then just buy the ST front diff or swap the gears- whatever's cheaper. From your plans, I hope you have deep pockets!

Mid 10s will cost you! I admire your ambition, but you better think about a budget first. Forget about stock turbos, or even the upgraded turbos available from CR or Pure. The housings are too small on the bolt-on stockers. So plan on moving to a single turbo platform or a custom twin turbo...

Look, if you don't understand math, don't embarrass yourself by spouting "logic" and your concept of "reason". It undermines any credibility you have. It's not logical or reasonable to debate that which you haven't the slightest knowledge. You sound like you're fifteen! :ROFLMAO:

That number is not arbitrary! You obviously have never taken a statistics class. There are formulae that predict a population size to give estimates with 95% confidence interval which is considered significant. If you take the estimate of 20% of explorers are STs, that works out to a population...

I have written about that product several times. It is NOT a viable solution. It has no possible way of protecting against the differential rotation, since it's not designed correctly. The other vendor's product is far better. On a second note, statistically speaking, when you actually have...

Is the e-brake on? Try turning it off before using reverse and see if that makes a difference.

In the two documented instances I'm aware of, when it broke, they fixed it with the 4 bolt. As I posted before (on the countless threads on this same subject), you have a five year warranty during which they'll fix it.

Part of the a cover for the torque limiting being applied in 1st gear. Kills two birds with one stone. I didn't hear enough pearl-clutching hysterics on these threads the past two years, so I guess someone should stir the pot!

If you are going to buy something, buy the AWR. The other offering is not designed correctly, much as I like FenFab's other products.

If you look at the dates, of post #11, every single explorer ever built falls under that recall. So yes, my 2020 with two bolt falls under recall.

I don't think 22.3 sounds high- it all depends on the volumetric efficiency at the rpm where that boost peaks. The stock turbos have relatively small compressors and turbines, so it doesn't sound out of line. Does the tuner list the RPM at 22.3?
