    Stock tire sounds dampening foam came unglued

    Are you a DIY'er? Simplist way is to buy two new front axles and swap them. Will also need some front differential oil to top off after spillage on the passenger side.

    Battery keeps dying after sub install

    Just ordered this for my Explorer for the same issue that pops up ever few months. My dealer says that for my VIN, the part number is LB5Z-11654-RC (~$25). Will confirm when I get it. Update: confirmed above part. About $35 shipped.

    Oil filter

    It may have changed for the 4 banger because it's a completely new engine.

    Vibration When Slowing Down

    Since you recently had your tranny replaced, would look at the drivetrain. In fact, let the dealer diagnose this.

    Interceptor amber DRL's on Explorer St

    Did you go to the link that I referenced 5 posts earlier? It turns of the LED DRL strip and uses the turn signals as your DRL... and the turn signals still work. At night, it's just the headlights. To me, that's perfect.

    TPMS Keeps Going out and in

    They do intermittently connect before they die completely. That would be my guess if just one of them flakes out at a time. Even if new, maybe it's been sitting on a shelf a while. One of them just died on my 2020 ST as well and I'm thinking the other 3 are not far behind.

    Strut noise. Upgrade? Replace w/OEM? Lower?

    Potentially firmer and more heavy duty. If you are having issues with your current setup and with your mileage, I'd also get some new strut mounts while you are at it.

    Speaker upgrade 21 ST

    I would challenge that. You just need to select high sensitivity drivers to use the small power the stock amps provide. There are a few choices that meet the criteria. Then you need to tune the old fashioned way by using passive crossovers, and add a powered sub to fill outthe low end. I...

    Spark Plug lifespan

    Gap will enlarge with age. I think you are due for a plug change with the stock Iridiums.

    Forscan and zfg tuned

    Or download your AsBuilt file from Ford and search it for your strategy code. I did this but don't remember the details... Edit:. found it https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23571&p=86053&hilit=strategy+code+tune#p86053

    opinions on totaled 2020 explorer ST

    When my time is done with the 2020 ST, I will most likely get into a 2025+ ST. Can't wait for the new screen and infotainment mainly. Things they removed I can live without. They've kept what was important to me: 360* camera, intelligent cruise with lane centering, heated seats and steering...

    Rear Shocks

    Motorcraft parts have a 2 year, unlimited mile warranty. If your shocks are leaking (not sweating) in less than that period, definitely try to get them replaced under warranty. not sure if B2B will cover it for longer than that.

    If still under warranty, axles are covered under powertrain.

    Transmission mount worn and replaced

    The past couple of months or so, I've noticed at a stop when in gear, there has been considerable vibration felt through the steering wheel. This vibration is not felt when idling in park. As soon as I drive it seems to go away. Today, I replaced the transmission mount. I noticed the design...

    Battery keeps dying after sub install

    I think: LB5Z-11654-TB is the newest version.

    Winter warriors?

    Dedicated 18" rims with Michelin X-ice2. We've had a lot of snow this year and they have really performed.

    Courtesy Blinks

    I was wondering when someone would try that out. The main benefit I see besides the price is the device is configurable for multiple different car models. The Mongoose for Ford can't be used for anything but Ford or Mazda, as far as I'm aware.

    JXB bushing insert

    Subframe inserts are definitely good. I don't notice anything with the JXB inserts except the noise...and not just the whine--there definitely knocking sounds too. It's almost a relief to have these removed. If you think the insert is just filling in the voids of the bushing, think again...
