The man who Bleeds FORD Blue has spoken!

Nope, my Stinger GT AWD only received one recall in the 3 years I owned it and it was for a fuse box wire. That's it. And the items you mentioned (if accurate) do not involve the vehicle breaking down and being out of service for a considerable length of time as with the Explorer's rear bolt...

Borla is one of the few aftermarket exhaust companies that promises no drone.

Maybe not with "your" Explorer but potentially throwing shade on a quarter million other Explorers. Lol So it's still an Explorer problem.

1-110 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Thoughts: With 235 reported breaks vs. a total of 252,936 affected vehicles, that currently...

Good news. Here's what to look for: Go to rear of vehicle and look underneath it. Here's the pic of the one bolt on the Left and the missing second bolt to its right.

We have 3, right? ;) Comapred to your Platinum I would say the ST accelerates better but not "spectacularly" better. Enjoy your ride!

Well, I had a Stinger GT AWD and it never had any "shattered" rear bolt issues so ... :rolleyes:

Man, that size is e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e ! https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?customSizeSearch=true&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2022&autoModel=Explorer+4WD&autoModClar=Platinum&performance=ALL&width=315%2F&ratio=35&diameter=22

SHARP!

I understand. Either FORD is reneging on their official recall or the dealer doesn't know what they're doing. Those are the only two options. Keep us informed.

Confusing is right! The official FORD recall states just an e-brake flash and nothing else.

How is the salesperson coming up with that when every document from FORD's official recall is to the contrary? (e-brake flash only) Something doesn't sound right ...

@PlatinumST Talk about tires, I wasn't all that happy about getting the 20" tires/rims instead of the optional 21" ones (local dealers were overcharging for ST's with the latter). But when I went and checked out prices at the Tire Rack, I see the 20" tires run about $100 less each than the...

If a new diff cover/bushing/ bolt were not hugely expensive, I'd consider having them installed at some point down the line. That's what has me scratching my head. One tenth of one percent (0.1%) of reported breaks is an infinitesimally small number. Even a full one percent (1.0%) would mean...

What? How in the heck is that possible?

You're here as a friend, and you should be treated as such. You chose a slightly different path than the rest of us on this forum, but that's okay. We look forward to seeing how your build works out.(y)

I understand, we all wish we had the 4 bolt!

Now that I own one and are looking for them, I have seen a few. But certainly not a "staggering" amount. Lol

Set up a camera or offer a friend a beer and some pizza to film your install. ;)
