    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    Digging those headlights. Also threw some Vibrant resonators after down pipes for a little quiet. They were slip fit so I kept it that way for now. Drivers side went 4” behind the DP and the passenger side went after the flex joints before the Thermal mid. Was also very happy with new sound...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Valvoline full synthetic in diffs (90 back, 140 front) and Motorcraft Mercon LV in transfer case. I like the squeeze packs. Rear differential fluid required a hand pump since there is only about an inch of clearance. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Did some fluids and finally put 2 Vibrant resonators on my Thermal. I loved the sound of the Thermal 2.5 but it got a touch too loud when i put down pipes on. Never would have minded 30 years ago[emoji23]. Anyhow, I’m back to loving the sound again. Took off about 10-15%. Regarding fluids at...

    Adding a subwoofer to 2025 Explorer ST?

    The Nav-Tv is a fantastic product imo. A little overkill for adding just a sub though. For just a sub I’d look for a LOC for the sub channel. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    Because sound is a very subjective thing. One size does not fit all. I for one thought the stock was way too quiet and wanted something a little louder but not loud like my teen years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Torque Converter Stall Speed

    Cause they rev like crazy every time you are accelerating from a light even with light throttle. If it’s really loose the car won’t move until it hits its stall speed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    They were closed weekends a few years ago. Collect checkout appears to be a Merchant processing application by Meridian Bank for vendors to easily send invoices and get paid. I would say 75% likely legit[emoji23]. Given you have been txting, I would definitely call Velgen to verify. Not...

    Torque Converter Stall Speed

    That sounds about right for a turbo car. IIRC most of my cars and trucks were all under 2k rpm stock. I bet if you look back at his dyno charts, good things are happening at 2800rpm[emoji23] I had a couple of high stall converters (3k+) in faster vehicles. They were great at the track but they...

    [emoji23] Happy wife, happy life they say! She got nice cars, shoes, and jewelry. I got motorcycles, cars, guns, and golf trips. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    I will let you know when I get them on. I’ve used them before on a V8 so I’m hopeful they sound good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Torque Converter Stall Speed

    Good advice! Depends totally on the hp/torque curve. You want the stall speed to be close to where the engine starts making good power after the turbo lag. Having said that, if you’ve never driven a vehicle with a high stall converter there are disadvantages. Higher stall means more heat and...

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    I paid over the phone a few years ago. Many merchants use third party sites to handle invoice/payment. Just to play it safe, I would call them and confirm the site they use. Probably ok. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    FWIW, my 2.5 Thermal sounded great. Right up until I put down pipes on it. A tad annoying when just driving light to light. I’ve got a couple Vibrant 2.5” resonators I’m hoping to add soon. Hoping it takes it back down a notch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    Good thinking! Mama got a new car two weeks ago. Nicer in many ways to my ST. I’ve had similar philosophy for 34 years. I’ve got a handful of expensive hobbies. Costs me pretty much double for any expensive item. One for you, one for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How the frig do you program home link garage door openers?

    Curious, will it let you program a button that has been programmed without a reset? I always do a reset before I sell cars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    Yeah it’s a love hate relationship with UNBROKEN and his threads. He works hard for his money and likes to spend it. He has a wealth of knowledge in the platform but he’s probably cost me $10k in upgrades[emoji23] He got me on 22’s and the Thermal and putting a much better stereo in my car...

    Differantial Bolts

    You can reuse them but do you want to? They are not torque to yield fasteners so you can use them again. However, if they were ever overtorqued or undertorqued they could be damaged or bent. When I replaced the rear subframe with a two bolt, the original bolt was bent significantly. I replaced...

    Dura-Coating Tire Dressing

    Tried it. Prep took a lot of time. Looked great after. Was not happy with ongoing maintenance. They seemed to get dirty quickly and I ended up cleaning them every few weeks. Since I went back to regular cleanings and 303 Protectant. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
