    Raptor R transmission parts for the Explorer?

    Here's a US approach that you should seriously think about, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Anecdotal "evidence" of flexplate and transmission problems are to be treated with a great deal of skepticism. Not that they don't happen, but why. Most of the problems are related to the incorrect...

    Raptor R transmission parts for the Explorer?

    I don't think anyone is not welcoming you, they're just particular about badges! But your first question is the important one about performance and strength. There aren't going to be any performance benefits to the 10R80. As far as strength, it certainly is rated higher and has some heavier...

    Lethal Spring

    IIRC, you reported some coil bind on the H&Rs. True?

    Lethal Spring

    Gas is about 6lbs per gallon, so on a 20 gallon tank- 120 lbs. Bushings even when worn aren't likely to significantly affect ride height. Find yourself a 120 lb weight (relatives over Thanksgiving are fair game), throw them in third row and then measure!

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    lol. Just buy the AWR or ID Speed- depending on your budget.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Yes, please stop "belaboring" it. Put up or shut up. Every possible pro and con has already been covered in this thread. What possible unanswered question is inhibiting your decision?

    Ford Performance Tune

    You haven't been here long enough to look at the 100s of pages of 3 vs 4 bolt differential discussions spread across at least 6 threads...this is nothing!

    Ford Performance Tune

    For those who want a warranty-saving tune, they should just do the FP tune. If you're that person, put a period on it and buy it. Based on the only results I've seen so far, it would appear it's actually better than just 30hp. If you are NOT concerned with just a warranty, then pick an octane...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Add another five people to the "block" list! Ever heard the expression "Cut off your nose to spite your face?"

    who has some tune comparison insight?

    That post should open a can of worms! Honestly, there is no one who has done a comprehensive comparison between all the tuners. However, some common sense: Stay away from any tuner who promises you better mileage, or even implies it- "Customers claim...". Do they inflate their HP numbers by...

    Boosted’s “Triple C” Build

    You're right, those are the Volks. Once the pic is blown up you can see it. Good job with spotting it, they've always been my favorites as well, but PRICEY!

    Only getting full boost for 1 or 2 gears

    Yes, your mods are blowing past the engineering parameters. I'm betting massive boost spikes. I'd be very cautious about WOT pulls in cold weather until you get some tuning (and I'd recommend ZFG as well) that will give you a nice safe tune and more HP to boot. Good luck.

    WHIPPLE SUPERCHARGERS Black Friday SALE has begun at LETHAL PERFORMANCE!!

    "If you've been waiting for the opportunity to grab one of the best supercharger systems on the market, now is you chance and to save BIG!" Besides the questionable grammar, I just thought a vendor might try to be a bit more accurate in an ad. You're a good guy @zdubyadubya

    WHIPPLE SUPERCHARGERS Black Friday SALE has begun at LETHAL PERFORMANCE!!

    Will that supercharger bolt on to my ST???? ;) Perhaps you might just edit the thread header and the content for accuracy rather than just cut and paste from an F-150 advertisement? Oh, wait....is this your first job since leaving Twitter?

    That doesn't look like a supercharger to me :rolleyes:

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Better traction would just lead to a higher load condition which would exacerbate an over-torque situation if that is indeed the problem.

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    I don't think there's any doubt that the behaviors are caused by the ECU/TCU trying to save the engine, trans or (possibly) occupants. For example, an overboost situation would cut power, a traction control (spinning) would cut power, and an over torque on the trans would likely slip the torque...

    Fenfab charge pipe w/ SSQ BOV

    My '94 US Impreza. Upgraded with a JDM version VII STI drivetrain. Not quite World Rallye Blue, but close.
