Not denying the problem, especially your current issue. Also don’t excuse Ford for their severe quality issues along with lack of parts to fix them. Just pointing out that there are lots on the road without issues. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah, crazy what you can get out of a 3 liter V6! I modded my 6.2l V8 supercharged 2011 CTSV to get 700rwhp when I went road racing for my mid-life crisis[emoji23] Nice work Adam! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No doubt the recent Explorers have lots of potential issues and has a high percentage of issues. But there are still a TON of them on the road with no issues including mine. They have plenty of quality issues no doubt but you never hear from people that have no issues. Sent from my iPad using...

Only safe way imo. The EPB gradually screws in tighter as the pads wear. The procedure retracts the EPB completely. To change pads safely. Then the rest of the procedure adjusts the screw/piston to the proper length for the new pads. There may even be a calibration during the process so the...

Welcome! Lots of lurkers here[emoji23]. Great resource. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve only seen that on mine when I have people in the second row seats. Doesn’t always happen though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes I’m tuned. No codes. Did get a tiny revision to the tune. I went with SPD downpioes and had them ceramic coated for heat rejection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2-3 feet of socket extensions, a universal joint or a wobbler, hammer, long chisel and PB Blaster. Don’t remember the socket size but iirc it was around 13-15mm or sae equivalent. I soaked the 4 nuts overnight with blaster. Breaking away the heat shield was the hardest part. Feel free to reach...

I did mine on a quick jack which only goes up about 2+ feet. Need a couple/few long extensions to get to the nuts. The passenger side is a pita. Can’t see/reach the upper nut without getting the heat shield out of the way. That requires pounding on the spot weld with a chisel. Drivers side was...

You mean 14 bad speakers! I would have gladly traded two speakers for an oil level sensor[emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you baby it too much you won’t properly seal the piston rings. I drove mine hard out of the gate with one exception. I avoided revving it to redline for the first thousand miles but that’s it. Also a big fan of changing initial fluids after a few thousand miles for cheap insurance getting...

Wouldn’t be surprised if the government is pushing encryption more than the manufactures. Can’t have people working on their cars anymore[emoji85] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s pretty low on fluid! Would expect problems at 6. Hot exhaust on cooler can’t be good either. Not downpipes but I still have my original cats for my 2022 in my garage if you want to go that route. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s all good! Everybody gets frustrated when they purchase an expensive item and it gets trashed in shipping. Glad you are getting taken care of! You’re gonna love them once you get them installed. In addition to doing a lot of high speed braking I had two close calls. Had to hit the brakes...

Nice to see the support Bruce! For the record, I was very impressed with the two boxes I received last year. Very well packed and protected and everything arrived in perfect shape. Stuff happens unfortunately but it sounds like you are taking care of him. If he is half as stoked as I was once I...

If that’s the case then definitely lousy tires imo. Unless you had alignment issues or drift raced regularly[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I changed my diffs when I was upgrading to a 4 bolt crossmember at about 5k miles. On the many trucks I had for my business I changed after the first 500 miles of towing as recommended. I waited until 5k because I don’t tow. IMO there is a big benefit to changing once the gears are broken in...
