    Best tune for 2020 Ford Explorer ST

    I am a couple of revisions into my E50 ZFG tune and the ST is becoming a beast. Hang on !! So I have written two E50 tunes to the vehicle and now my auto start/stop appears to have quit working. The light does not come on when I press the button on and off. In normal mode, I can pull up to a red...

    Whipple Intercooler

    Are you calling the "adjusters" the rubber bumpers that are adjustable or the black spacer (six bolts) that the top of the grill rests on ?

    Has anyone changed exhaust tips?

    Hi I purchased the same exhaust tips. Thanks for the info. They are huge in person !! Are these slid over the stubs left from the stock exhaust tips or is there an additional adapter pipe installed ? How long was the stub of the original exhaust tips left after the tips were cut off? Can you...

    What’s that smell?

    Each time I do some spirited driving a woft of smelly exhaust follows the vehicle if you stop and open the window. I tell my wife it smells like the coffee she brews each morning:sick: Skunky! I remember 10 or 20 years ago when you would occasionally get behind a vehicle and you swear they were...

    Whipple Intercooler

    Anyone else install the intercooler and once you finish putting the front end together the bottom of hood gap over the grill isn't the same as you originally had (my gap grew by 1/8" so the grill needs to move higher to close the gap). I will look into adjusting the hood bumpers but if that...

    Whipple Intercooler

    Got the grill shutters removed. I painted the intercooler front with a light coat of flat black stove paint. Now that the shutters are gone the lower portion of the radiator(which is silver) is now exposed so I may have to paint that too. The top bracket on the driver side intercooler (rear...

    Half way there on the intercooler install. Did you guys cut out the slats with snips or what?

    Whipple Intercooler

    Now that several folks have installed the Whipple intercoolers into their 2020 Explorer ST's how about a list of any gotchas lying in wait that you wish you would have known prior to starting the project. Example - supporting the grill unit prior to releasing it from the truck so it doesn't fall...

    That is exactly what I am looking for as I am getting ready to install my intercooler also. I do not want to see it through the grill.

    Driver's Seat Shifting

    Since the fix I swear I smell antifreeze under the seat. They should specify new heater hose. hahaha

    How many miles did your Explorer ST have when you bought it?

    Mine was trailered from St. Louis to Wichita on a dealer trade. Had 24 miles when it arrived. ST's were easy to get locally prior to Covid then became scarce due to dealer trades.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    The lane keeping option graphics on the dash display showed a white line for the outline of the road on my previous Aug 2019 built ST. My new 2020 ST (built June 2020) has either a red, orange (with arrows) or green lines (instead of white) depending on how bad you are driving off the road...

    How does everyone wash and dry the roof?

    I "air drive" mine. Great car wash in neighboring small town 14 miles from the house which is well maintained, has excellent pressure, soap and ocassionally even hot water plus a no spot rinse. It takes a credit card and it is a "wand" wash-it-yourself carwash. I air drive home at 75 mph and...

    Whipple Intercooler

    Pulled the trigger on the Whipple intercooler. Does the black flat backing behind the grill get tossed or is it left in place? Has anyone sprayed black paint (light coat) on the front of the intercooler to help hide the exposed silver of the intercooler which shows through the grill opening? I...

    UPR catch can and orange fitting solution.

    So can anybody give a summary of the part numbers they ordered from UPR to complete the install of the catch can for the 2020 Explorer ST. There are various options and I do not want to come up short a necessary part. Do not know if I need an adjustable pvc valve or the optional check valve, etc.

    Whipple Intercooler

    Thinking about this modification. I realize I can reassemble the front end on the ST winging it regarding the fastener torques or try to do it properly like the assembly line. Are the various required fastener torques already know to folks on this form or does one need to find a 2020 Ford...
