Crank it hard, then giving it another 1/4 turn works for most shade tree mechanics! Lol

It's like you only follow your own posts and nobody else's. He was also talking about "resale" values, so obviously cost is also a concern. Berating comments like yours that ST's are "a dime a dozen" are themselves a dime a dozen. To even say that the number of ST's you see are "staggering"...

Great news! Wish my iconic silver had the 21" wheel package, but in my area those that did were fully loaded and dealers were asking $3k over sticker for them. So I settled for the 20" wheels and paid sticker. Post more pics once you get it.(y)

Awesome! Post pics when you get it.:)

Maybe they'll notice, and maybe they won't. Regardless, it's still not even close to being so obvious as seeing additional holes drilled in the subframe.

The main bolt and the 2 diff bolts from the brace work in conjunction with each in taking stress, not separately from each other. Put another way, the main bolt is no longer taking all the load by itself.

Awesome, thanks.(y) Maybe put out a short vid that has your tech walking through the job. Well, it's two cover bolts, better than nothing. And if no drilling is involved, you could always take it off before heading to the dealer if you have any related problems.

I'm reading that as the "involved components" are what is the problem, and the PCM E-brake flash is the "fix" for retail vehicles.

Correct. I did a quick inventory search on Dodge's website for the Durango SRT 392 and every one was ~$80k on dealer's lots. Maybe a 1/2 sec quicker acceleration time is worth an additional $20k-$30k to some people, but not to me. Everything about the ST is what I was looking for, and my current...

No one here is questioning your sincerity GJ. But the Zone Manager's statement to you openly contradicts FORD's actual stated remedy in the recall.

Yup, it's right there. PCM E-brake software update ...

So you don't believe what every single news outlet is reporting - that the recall for retail vehicles only involves the E-brake?

2021 Durango Hellcat base price (not sold in 2022) = $80,995 2022 Durango SRT 392 base price = $68,195 2022 Explorer ST base price = $48,245 That's a huge difference, to say the least. Sure, Durango 392 requires the least amount of modifications, but it also costs a whopping $20k more. Get a...

Yup, I want to see vids as well.

It's his vehicle, he paid for it. He can legally do whatever he wants to with it . Who's your friend? Asking for myself. (lol, jk)

Ok, that makes more sense.

Unfortunately, that is correct. The same goes for rear diff braces, unless we have the one that doesn't require drilling and remove it. Still, FORD's data reports a 0.1% breakage rate so the odds of not snapping a bolt are incredibly good.

1-107 1-108 1-109

Well done!

FORD's build dates of effected vehicles seems to encompass each full model year since the redesigned Explorer was produced (2020/2021/2022). Still, FORD's official tally of ~250 breaks out of 250,000 remains an incredibly low 0.1%...
