    Wheel setup advice

    It’s like saying this….”I’m too lazy to put the least amount of effort into getting an answer to my question so I will ask another member to waste his time to get my answer”. I believe it’s called situational awareness[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    800 is a great goal on forged intervals. I’d be less concerned about the drivetrain than I would be about steering and suspension. Hard cornering can easily exceed design specs on things like control arms and end links. I’ve seen a 130mph track wreck from a snapped control arm. Totaled car and...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    Gonna be difficult getting those speeds imo. Wind resistance squares as speed doubles. My CTSV had 700hp at the rear wheels, had much better aero, weighed about 4400lbs, and would hit 180mph. It was factory limited there due to the automatic but you can feel it fighting the wind. Wild guess...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    When I was road racing my CTSV, I was running a 19” square wheel setup and predominately ran either R888’s or NT01’s. The R888’s were pretty sticky but usually cycled out before end of tread. The NT01 was slightly less traction but I could get a couple more track days out of a set. Money no...

    Build quality

    Agree. People need to remember that you really only hear the bad. Meanwhile there are thousands happy with their vehicle. Chicago Assembly Plant is a nightmare for sure. My salesmen spent a lot of time there as did I. Almost didn’t buy mine because of that. I feel fortunate my 22 has been rock...

    Caliper swap

    Possible but only if he ripped them off with the brake on and damaged something. If the brake is off and he just removed the bolts and pulled the caliper out, it’s hard to break something. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rear Shocks

    Ford dealer already folded my pinch welds on warranty work. Not once, twice! I also have carbon fiber skirts and they run next to the pinch welds. I have a set of magnetic pinch weld mounts with blocks for my quickjack. I always bring them now and always talk to the mechanic before he lifts...

    Metal in Oil at 50k Miles

    That’s not right. Unless that filter has 50k miles on it, no way that is normal imo. Predict oil analysis will be ugly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Ford recall for the Explorer

    Not so new but accurate. The dealer test is to repeatedly rev the piss out of your engine. If nothing happens, your gtg. I figure I’ve revved the piss out of my engine enough to know the valves are fine[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Shocks

    At this price I just ordered a set of rears even though I have an extended warranty. I’m coming up on 40k and getting some very low speed noises in rear and was going to take it in. After the $100 deductible and dealing with multiple trips to the dealer to get it fixed it wasn’t worth it. They...

    Rear differential leaking

    Bizarre. Everything around it is dry? Exhaust condensation? Totally guessing here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    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
