    CVF Downpipes Quality (Good Thing)

    Awesome. I'm loving my cvf downpipes paired up with the thermal 3". I paid a shop to install (Ford specialist), they also said they were fun. I bet removing them is way easier now that they are in with all the extra room provided by the lack of the stock cats being in the way.

    FenFAB oil pan initial test results.

    Just preordered one of these fenfab oil pans. I'll be grabbing up the PPE metal tranny pan also when its time for my first fluid change. Figure with all the added power, need to provide supporting mods to ensure reliability and safety.

    Oil Life - Time vs Mileage

    I'd go by the oil manufacturer's specification. Typically unless stated motor oil is usually XX miles or 6 months whichever first. The 6 months is there for situations where people go on many short trips which actually wears out oil quicker than just steady long distance mileage because the...

    My 2020 ST started knocking 2 days ago on morning cold start.

    Jeeze, i mean "locked up" is so non specific. As long as they can't find a reason to deny your warranty you should be fine. I'd still want to specifically know what specifically happened.

    Rear End Failure

    All these rear diff stories, ugh. I recently installed amsoil 75W-110 gear lube and Steeda Brace. I have the Steeda Bushings, Whoosh bolt, and JXB Bushing insert sitting on my bench ready to go when I have time. I'm hoping by securing up the rear diff will avoid future problems. It may be...

    My 2020 ST started knocking 2 days ago on morning cold start.

    Intervals don't appear to be an issue 4500 is pretty decent even for a synth-blend and not pushing it too hard. Any details on what the actual failure was, you have a right to know it is your vehicle. Saying "oil related" is extremely vague. Either it ran low on oil, lost oil pressure, oil...

    My 2020 ST started knocking 2 days ago on morning cold start.

    What was the stated cause of the engine failure, aka what failed? Also what is your oil change intervals?

    Rear End Failure

    Maybe another case of them installing a diff type with the wrong "ratio". I can see that messing up the PTU, things not spinning at the right speeds when the vehicle mechanical and electrical systems expect them to be pushing things to the point of failure. Mental note , if I ever need a new...

    Engine Oil

    Wix XP if you are doing 5000+ mile intervals for changes. It is designed for extended drain. It actually filters smaller particles less efficiently as a sacrifice to be able to continue flowing through extended drain intervals and not go into bypass mode too early. This way it can still pick up...

    Rear End Failure

    I'm wondering if this is some kind of alignment issue (or rather misalignment) of the drive shaft , diff mounts, etc, basically everything connected to the diff. Unless you won the worst lottery and got two terribly defective rear diffs I'm at a loss. Where the bearings screwed at all, which...

    How to clean/treat dashboard?

    Been using 303 forever now, gave up looking for anything better when it comes to protectants. As for general cleaning I'm loving Chemical Guys "Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant". It says it has some kind of protectant qualities also. I'll use this for normal cleanings of all things interior...

Sure if you goose it to get on a main road or something, yea no stopping that sweet symphony! As for the family , my wife and daughter like it. Highway driving is...

    P-0455 - Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system, gross leak.

    I wouldn't doubt if its the evap purge valve. There's other threads with other codes this thing can cause.

    2021 Ford Explorer ST .... The neverending nightmare?

    Would appreciate more details on specifically what was wrong with the wiring and what caused it if they give you more information.

    Went with a SCT BDX tuner

    ZFG DMS tune + choice of intercooler upgrade is my vote. Do the IC first if you can't do it all at once, IMHO its a necessity. The stock unit they installed should be a crime. From my research here and around the net, exhaust upgrades seems to be for fun or to get away from frequently breaking...

    Engine Oil

    You will be fine with any oil as long as it has SN or SP(newer) API spec. There are specifics for DIT engines that matter with these grades. Also extended drain is possible, but greatly depends on the type of driving and oil used. Me personally even with some of the best oils (I use Amsoil...

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    Agreed, would love to do this but I see this as a $1000 upgrade, not a $3K.
