Found this back in December on Jegs still listed for $145 after the price went up to $200+ everywhere else. It was listed as in stock, but surprise surprise it was on BO. Jegs sent me weekly emails letting me know it was still on BO, and then suddenly today I had 4ft tall box at my door...

I used to do donuts in reverse in my FWD '88 Pontiac Bonneville in Sisters Hospital parking lot when I worked there. Unless you broke something, I'd just assume you got some snow/moisture in where it doesn't belong, but I guess we'll see what the tech say.

I remember a comedian doing a bit where he was talking about family road trips as a kid, dad smoking a cigar, he sets the AC to recirculate and it was like they were all smoking the cigar.

I always figured it was to keep you from burning yourself on the exhaust while using the now discontinued foot activated lift gate. I'm not entirely convinced with all the corners Ford will cut to save costs they went ahead and made exhaust tips that way just so they wouldn't get dirty.

Service mode releases the parking brake. You'll still need to press the caliper pistons back into the caliper to make room for new pads. Whether you need a tool for this, that's up to you. I've always been able to use the old brake pad and squeeze with my hands. A big C clamp is also the...

Without knowing the options it's impossible to say.

I thought the diffs in the 2.3 vs the 3.0 models were different ratios, but according to this they're the same. The difference is between the diff in the King Ranch/Platinum (3.31) vs the ST (3.58)...

F150 has the 10R80, the Explorer has the 10R60. Solid rear axle, gear ratio, body on frame, etc., etc. There are a lot of reasons why the F150 has a higher tow rating an explorer. You're gonna end up like this guy. https://www.tiktok.com/@alfredmontaner/video/7155834906495454506

If the vehicle is subject to the intake valve recall Ford is extending the power train warranty to 10yrs/100K miles.

I don't think the "rolled down the driveway" test is considered industry standard.

Probably a ton of "boat ramp fail" videos on YouTube where midsized SUVs end up under water due to grossly exceeding their tow rating.

That sounds more like the widely reported issue of axle hub noise caused by the axle splines. My '23 has started making that noise any time theres an accel/decel at low speeds or put the transmission in reverse. It's the same "ting" or "ping" noise you hear in the video.

Looks great, but yeah that mount is stripped to shit. I wonder how that happened.

M6 I think.

Are you driving in sport mode? It's probably the transmission holding the gear longer.

They put a diff from a 2.3L Explorer in your ST because they didn't know the difference. Probably a good thing the two have different gear ratios, if they were the same the service dept probably would have sent you on your way with the smaller diff.
