    Seat belt requesting hit ok

    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

    Installing downpipes

    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

    Installing downpipes

    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...

    Installing downpipes

    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...

    Engine Oil Level Low Disabled?

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

    Break in period …..

    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...

    2025 EXPLORER ST TUNING

    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

    New owner woes

    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

    New Parts Arrived....

    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...

    New Parts Arrived....

    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...

    2022 Tires Worn Already?

    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

    Diff oil early change on new vehicle?

    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...

    Recall: #24S55 ENGINE VALVE INSPECTION

    According to the build dates I’m a few months after the October 2021 cutoff. Hoping it stays that way and they don’t extend it to 2022 build dates. I’ve beat on mine quite a bit so I’m hoping I’m good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2022 Tires Worn Already?

    Doubt a few psi would make huge difference. Many moons ago I went with 5-8 over door sticker and tires were toast at 15k with plenty of tread on the outside but almost bald in the middle. Just my experience. Quick search found this blog on inflating tires...

    Quality issues

    I almost didn’t buy my ST because the assembly plant was a longtime customer of my business. You would not believe the crap that goes on there. I feel very lucky that I was fortunate to get an ST without issues…so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2022 Tires Worn Already?

    IMO All overinflating will do is start wearing the center of the tread more than the outside unless you are loading them close to max capacity. In my young and stupid years I wore out a set (just the middle of tread[emoji23]) in very short order. Underinflating will wear the outsides of the...

    Engine Oil Level Low Disabled?

    I’m not sure we even have an oil level sensor. In fact I always thought that was a diesel engine thing and maybe a high end car thing. All my diesels had one but I don’t think I’ve ever had a gas car with an oil level sensor. Perhaps others will come in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
