    The auto parking brake came with my FRP Tune, I always use the parking brake anyway and use the button to release it. No issues here!

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Our 2021 ST has 14,886 miles on her so far, mostly driven by the wife to pick up groceries and dry cleaning. I mostly get to drive on the road trips lol!. The rear camera has been replaced 3 times and still acts up occasionally, no other issues.

    Help With Keyless Entry Factory Code

    The factoy code is stored in the BCM (bod control module), if you have a scantool you can read the code there. The last tool I used showed the code in PID list, I'm sure other tools may be different. Here's the procedure to retrieve the code from Ford using the keyfobs: Factory Keycode...

    Is the Ford Tune noticable?

    Almost 500 miles on my tune, it's no ZFG tune but I love the improved throttle response and shifitng. The power band definately starts a lot lower and it's actually smoother acceleration than my stock tune.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I installed my FP Tune today and it went mostly smooth, thanks for the write up @deadhead20st ! I only drove it 3-4 miles so far and the throttle response seem snappier, I will drive it more this week and hopefully will it more during my commute. I did run into one problem, after the test drive...

    The Blue Oval

    If you're going to install an aftermarket intercooler these are pricy but very good quality: https://emblem-city.com/collections/2020-ford-explorer I installed the front emblem while the grill was off for the IC, the rear is pretty simple to install.

    Sport vs Eco mode (mpg)

    Making the engine breathe better increases the VE (Volumetric Efficiency), but the more air required equals the more fuel that will be injected to maintain stoichiometric AFR (Air Fuel Ratio). So additional loads like climbing a hill or carrying additional weight will require more fuel and that...

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    That would make too much sense:D:D!!! But I hope so too! I saw the smoke issue on mine about two months ago but haven't seen it since, I keep checking when I start it up and hope I don't to add it to the issues with the back up camera.
