You need to look and see if yours has 1 or 2 bolts attaching the cross member to the differential. If yours has 2 bolts your in good shape. See this picture showing the 2 bolts.

Have you noticed any change since you did this?

Ouch! :eek:

Maybe @UNBROKEN will chime in on this. Pretty sure he installed an Optima in his Explorer. I would be interested in how he dealt with it.

I've been thinking about doing that also. So any good ideas are welcome.

1. Good car insurance. 2. Move to a safer area. 3. Concealed carry. Not to much else you can do that I know of. Good luck and enjoy your ST.

Here is a long thread talking about the changes between 2020 and now. Good luck. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/what-is-missing-on-the-2022-st-from-factory.3726/

Looks good. I would put some never seize on the valve stem caps. Seen a number of posts of them seizing and can't be removed

If that's the case you would need the faraday pouch and put the FOB in it every time you got out of the car and locked it. I am not going to do that, if they want it that bad they can have it. Then it becomes my insurance companies problem.

Well I just tested that. I went out to my Explorer and locked it with the key FOB. Came back in the house and set it on the table. Went back out and tried to open a door. It stayed locked. Time elapsed maybe 2 minutes. Seems to me it sounds like sales hype.

I don't see the advantage to one. Keeping the key with me seems to work. By doing so I can walk up to my vehicle and just open the door. If the key was in a pouch wouldn't you need to remove it to unlock and start your vehicle? Tell me if I'm wrong because I have no experience with one.

I lock the doors and keep the key with me.

For some reason not showing the update is a common issue for a number of people. You would think Ford could get this fixed but for some reason it continues on.

You might need to check with a good exhaust shop near you. Explain to them what your looking for and I would think they could help you out.

First place I would check is the transmission area. One member recently had a small crack in the tranny pan. Others myself included the tranny cooler cracked and was leaking.

For handling front and rear sway bars are a great start. As for performance there isn't to much carb legal for CA so far. That may get better in time.

I'm no expert on this but I can't help but think that the change of tire diameter is causing the Advancetrac light. Advanetrac is expecting a certain RPM at a certain speed. Now it is different. After all it did show up after that change was made. That is why I think resetting it may clear it...

You should be able to reset that also. Here is an article with an easy way to by disconnecting the negative battery terminal. Worth a try. https://oards.com/service-advancetrac-ford/

Welcome. You may not need the AWR brace as some new deliveries are coming with the extra bolt in the rear end. Have fun.
