    привет - don't blame me if that's incorrect :cool:

    Who else likes cigars?

    In my teens my best friend and I would get on our bikes and ride out to go fishing. One of the things we loved to do while fishing was smoke cigars. I was probably 14 or 15 but I could still buy Philly Blunts or Garcia Vega cigars from the local gas station. Fast forward to my 20s after I...

    Clicking sound when turning wheel…heard after truck heats up

    I've noticed the same thing recently on mine. I only hear it when I'm driving up through the parking garage here when making right turns to the next floor. Going down (and making the same turns but left) I don't here it. I haven't had the chance to crawl under and take a look.

    Files for Fullscreen Mod

    Open the README file with notepad, there should be some instructions there. I haven't downloaded or installed this yet so I'm not sure exactly.

    Oily oil pan

    I'd degrease/clean the area thoroughly and check on it in a 1,000 miles or so. Could just be residue from draining the oil and leaving a drop or two on the pan at the drain hole. Over time that still will drip and migrate everywhere. Also keep an eye on the front axle for leaks.

    Files for Fullscreen Mod

    Correct, you just need some USB storage. Using 4 just makes it easier to do. Also make sure you Sync3 is updated to the latest version. It's been out for a while but there are plenty of people who still haven't updated. This mod will not work if you're not on the latest version.

    ST's are like buses...

    It seems to be a common phenomena. Before I bought my Explorer I knew I was looking for a SUV in general. I was keeping an eye out for 6th gen Explorers and rarely saw one. I live in an apartment facing a highway in DFW, with all the cars I see you'd think I'd see a ton of them, but I didn't...

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    Does anyone know what changes were made between beta and RC1? I'm still running beta 4. The mod publisher did not post any info on fmods that I can find.

    Scratch through the black paint

    If just a scratch I'd hit it with a paint pen and be done with it. If it's a straight scratch you might even tape if off right to the edges of the scratch.

    More dealer service problems

    Sorry, my previous post was rhetorical. No model year ST came with an engine cover. Not mine ('23), not folks with the earliest of '20s, and none of the folks in this thread who have/have seen a '25. Edit: did it look like this?

    More dealer service problems

    The '25 STs have an engine cover?

    Oil Consumption

    It looks like you're reading little tidbits of information here and there and getting all worked up over nothing. "Consuming 1 qt of oil between changes" is what manufactures would call within spec, and it can happen especially with the extended oil change intervals vehicles have today compared...

    mirror power tap how to disconnect this connector?

    It's difficult to describe, you gotta be firm yet cautious? I tried using a plastic trim tool but it ended up not having enough leverage to it so I just carefully pulled the whole thing off with my hands. It's probably not as delicate as we think it is.

    Fullscreen question

    Hardest part is getting the timing right when doing a reset of the infotainment and inserting the jailbreak USB.

    Fullscreen question

    Not really much expense other than the thumb drives to load the software. Personally I think it's a huge improvement over the stock layout. I can't say it's any more or less laggy than it was before the mod, I've never liked Sync3 or the touch screen compared to the Uconnect8 I had in my Charger.

    does PIU rear brace help handling

    Didn't notice that. Hitting the booze early.

    Reverse brake assist

    It's part of a backup camera recall. There's a good chance it was never done on your vehicle. If the dealership has the parts on hand it will be quick, I got mine done during an oil change.

    does PIU rear brace help handling

    You mean rear swaybar? I've seen it posted here that the PIU swaybar is a couple mm thicker than non, but not as thick as an aftermarket like Steeda (which is 25mm I think). So yes, there is a difference.

    Weep Hole Plugs

    Years back on my Pontiac G8 GT, it had a problem common among the model, the weep holes in the door were also the holes the push pins went in to hold the weather stripping on the bottom of the door. They were notorious for getting clogged with junk. Every now and then, especially after a lot...

    Can you connect that device to another device via Bluetooth? Aside from a phone.
