    2021 no longer using switchbacks

    If I am not mistaken, this is a reference to the day time running light LED strips, turning from white to yellow when using the turn signal.

    10R60

    Based on nomenclature alone, the 10R80 ("10" forward gears "R"ear wheel drive based, "80"0 (800) newton meters (590ft-lbs) torque rating) is a more durable version of the trans than the 10R60 (same as previous except "60"0 (600) newton meters (442 ft-lbs) torque rating). I'm sure the gear ratios...

    Tuning for dummies

    I'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of lease contracts, however my LEASED F-150 STX I traded in on my ST had a platinum trim steering wheel on it that I personally swapped out. The dealer never said a word about it to me (I left the steering wheel on when I traded it in, and I...

    So what do you all do?

    That sounds like a job title out of a Ford plant...

    So what do you all do?

    My bad, not sure how I transposed pipe welder/pipefitter. I guess when I saw pipe welder I assumed pipe fitter? I am asking out of ignorance, not sarcasm, what's the difference in a pipe welder and pipe fitter? Or does the name explain that difference? I've done pipe fitting, but I've never done...

    So what do you all do?

    To me it is ironic that you list yourself as a plumber/pipefitter. In the local 502 here in Louisville, KY, they're all listed as plumber/pipefitter, but most of them will say they are one or the other, and they hate it when you call them the wrong one. I am a mechanical design engineer for a...

    SSC Tuatara 331MPH...

    Yea, the aero has to be excellent, because 1750 HP (is A LOT) but not when you consider the Chiron makes 1500 but has a top speed of 70 MPH below the Tuatara. I'm sure this can also partially be attributed to weight but even all the weight reduction in the world won't matter if you can't dial in...

    SSC Tuatara 331MPH...

    That's literal insanity lol. What kind of engine is in that thing?! Also, I'm pretty sure that car pulls harder over 300 MPH than most average cars pull over 100 MPH.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    Is that an AFR gauge, boost gauge, or something else?

    Livernoise tune

    I'm no tuning expert, so take this with a grain of salt. But it would seem to me that the knock sensors could easily adjust engine timing between 91 and 93 octane, right? Is there really a need to have two different tunes for that? I am not saying this is smart, nor am I suggesting to do it...

    SCT tuner

    Well hold on now. I simply asked for data, I never argued you were wrong. That sounds like a scapegoat response. I already told you I agreed with you based on my issues with my 2017 fusion sport, so I'm not sure why you're getting defensive with me. I had shifting issues with my fusion, one in...

    SCT tuner

    Why is this? I had my 2017 fusion sport tuned by unleashed using an SCT tuner and, speaking specifically about the transmission I could agree with you (I think it was the 6F55) because the shifting seemed weird when it was tuned. But what has changed on either SCT's end or Ford's end? I...

    Ordering 2021 ST - Street pack?

    I have to agree with @UNBROKEN, in my opinion it is a no brainer

    SCT tuner

    OP, thanks for taking the time to do this. I think there is a pretty clear pattern of some members on the forum that like to bash anything they do not use. It is not their money or their vehicle so I do not understand why they care so much other than because they love their choices, and anything...

    What was your reaction the first time behind the wheel of a Explorer ST?

    I was looking at a used 2017 Explorer Platinum. then I drove the ST on a whim. It felt like a sports car vs the platinum and I knew I had to have it because it instantly put a smile on my face.

    Borla S-type glass fibers

    Looks like normal soot/particles from cutting and welding to me

    Replacement Exhaust Systems

    I personally don't hate the idea, but I have also had upwards of 30 different exhaust set ups on my 2011 mustang GT. I just can't find what I like I guess

    Wait for 2021 or buy leftover 2020?

    I would imagine it isn't likely they will discount them much if there is already reduced MSRP's coming. It may work in your favor to buy a 2020 after the 2021 comes out though

    CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

    From what I read it is something like this: "Connected diagnostic machine and pulled ODB code P0456, small leak detected. Checked dealer info system for TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) and SSM (Can't remember this acronym but similar to TSB) and found these tests to try, and found an issue with...
