The sound of inter-shift boost escaping! Not a sound I wish to hear.

There are two vertical mounts at the front of the differential (toward driver) There are either 1 or 2 horizontal mounts at the REAR of the differential as pictured below. There are literally several thousand posts on here about it. Look up the thread Rear End Damage.

You are a little sarcasm challenged...perhaps? That was meant to be funny.

It sucks that you have to do without the vehicle for so long. Best of luck.

Thank you all for tuning in once again to "Shallow Thinking". The daily podcast of those who opine on other's efforts.

Following up on @UNBROKEN 's comment, here is a link to my post on the subject. You're right, the stock brace is not of much use- nor is it meant to be. It may have some minimal ability in tension (strut towers moving apart), even less than the aftermarket versions in compression (strut towers...

Excellent!

Yes, it is a generalization, which means it's not at all accurate. But, if you're going to generalize, then we should all hate Subaru owners- Birkenstock wearing, tree-hugging, pot-smoking millenials with no common sense. Or, perhaps Corvette owners- gold-chain wearing, harley-davidson owning...

It's an improvement! But I don't understand, (please someone educate me), when a ZFG 93 tune will do low-mid 12's with no other mods then why bother with any other tune? Is is because the other tuners are cheaper? Is it because you already have a tuning device so it saves you money?

I thought I'd add another post to this thread. There are many posts like @JeffSpicoli above and between that post and today, I've seen scores of similar posts. There seems to be many people who think the first thing one "MUST" do to achieve performance is to swap the factory exhaust and...

I'm going to give you a dyno chart. This is a completely stock ST with just a ZFG tune. With 93 octane, you'll see a nearly 100HP gain in performance. With E50 tune, nearly 150HP gain. It doesn't take a huge leap of logic to realize that if the stock exhaust and intake can support that level...

Was a big fan of Sainz back in the '90s. WRC at that time. Interesting to see how well he's done in F1 in the past few years as he's no spring chicken anymore!

Cylinder 4,5,6 are all left bank. Just concentrate on that side. Since it seems like you've ruled out plugs, but have multiple hits on #6, I'd move one of the right bank coils and injectors (which would seem to be good) to #6 and see if DTCs move banks. Then #4, etc.

Take a look at @GearHead_1 post. You aren't listening! Take it up with the admin- @STFan. He's the person you need to convince. A second point- every bit of respect you get on a forum will be due to the quality of your posts- not quantity. No one cares about your resume or your avatar. It...

The problem with diagnosis comes from the number of DTCs that are present. The misfire codes are almost always due to the ECU measurement of linear acceleration of the crank- it's measuring the speed of crankshaft sensor in real-time after the spark and senses that the crank has slowed (or not...

You're obviously doing things with an eye towards the problem and yet....the very first thing I would have checked would have been the plugs. Maybe you did, but just didn't mention it?

You are arguing apples/oranges and because of it you have made a mistake in your assumption. An F1 car (which by the way is a completely different animal) is not using the wing to "pull exhaust". It is using the exhaust energy to enhance the car's aerodynamics. You seem to think that the...

Thanks for that sparkling well-thought out analysis. The concise way in which you presented your refutation of my comments complete with unassailable proof causes me to rethink everything I've posted!

It's a battery problem most likely. Call the number for a tow from Ford.

Had to do a bit of searching....a few more viewpoints on this thread. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/explorer-enthusiast-st.1769/post-22003 You could argue this forever, but- in vehicles where we're talking great performance at 11 second 1/4s, I'd definitely say for myself, living where...
