    Additional Tune

    It's all up to you. Some have money lying around. Others aren't shooting for the best Dragy numbers or going for drag strip times. If it were me, I'd be happy with the 91 tune and using 93 octane gas.

    Spark Plug lifespan

    Do it. Spark plugs may be fine but gap widens. It's kind of a pain so just put in new plugs.

    Spark plugs. What do you use?

    Just buy from a reputable retailer. There are counterfeits out there.

    BeyondEOD's ST Build Thread

    I only got deceleration noise when I installed JXB inserts on my 2-bolt. So you are still getting noise (albeit less) after you removed the AWR brace and JXB insert? That's kind of alarming.

    What Did the Wife Do to the Explorer ST Today

    I don't know. My Explorer is no pavement Princess. Aside from that bumper paint splitting, doesn't look too bad.

    Camera recall December 2024

    I previously was getting the blue screen pretty often. I did the image module firmware update 1/2024 and bluescreen was gone. I did not do the hardware recall because why mess with something that works. I was also afraid a new camera would mess up my 360 camera alignment which right now is...

    Time to replace the OEM tires

    The WeatherActives may be one of the best all season tires out there. The Micheline A/S4 are a better high performance tire and not good in winter. I've had both.

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    This is the way. Make that upper control arm adjustment yourself and then take it in for alignment.

    2020-2025 EXPLORER ST SPORT EXHAUST - BLACK SKU: M5200ESTB

    Has anyone had issues with the revised OE midpipes (flex sections)? I haven't read any reports of rattling or premature failure after they moved the flex sections more forward on the pipes.

    Broken reflector lens on rear bumper

    There's quite a few OEM-looking reflectors on Amazon, if you don't want to pay the high shipping costs for genuine OEM. I personally just sprayed lens tint spray on mine to make them a little darker but maintaining the reflector functionality. Some used tinted vinyl. You can also replace with...

    Key fob batteries last two days

    I've had that problem once. I think the new battery was not up to par. It was a Duracell that I got from Amazon--who knows, maybe counterfeit. I put another new one in and that is working no problem. I also stop putting the keys in my shirt pocket at work in case the keys accidentally...

    Sync 3 update and connectivity issues.

    Not sure if Sync version 21098 is affected. Most were on the previous 22251 and started getting a whole host of issues a few months later that included Navigation screen showing only 1/2, FordPass not working, Sync settings not saving, Wifi connection not working, etc. If you have any of these...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I think people underestimate the stock strut brace. It is only seemly flimsy after you take it out. It is a conspicuously wide bar with wide attachments to the strut towers. Just my opinion, but it is probably stronger than a lot of cheap, aftermarket aluminum bars I've seen and that I've...

    Vibration when in Reverse and lurch when put into drive

    Could be trans or motor mounts. This weekend, I noticed that when stopped at the stoplight, the steering wheel has very noticeable vibration (that wasn't there before). Has not resulted in driveability issues but I suspect the motor mounts may be on thier way out. Kind of disappointing with a...

    Sync 3 update and connectivity issues.

    Unfortunately, when you are really out of memory, the APIM won't update. Back when this was happening, people used to do a master reset right before sticking the upgrade USB in. If Master reset hangs, try three soft resets (PWR + FFD) and immediately stick in the USB upgrade. The 23188 should...

    ForScan help

    That is a great gift and he will get a lot of use out of it. However, as a gift, I wiuld cincentrate on just the OBD2 dongle that you need to connect to your car. I would recommend the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth dongle. There is a cheaper wired version, but the Bluetooth version is so small and...
