    Brembo brakes

    Yes the GT350 kit should be cheaper. The rotors should be about $300 each and the calipers about $200 each. Then the $415 bracket from Tony. Then around $100 for the bolts, pins, washers. Then about $50 for pads.

    Interesting new find…and not a good one.

    This makes sense. I was looking at mine and trying to see how those ears could fold from driving, and the pivot points of everything don't seem to allow that much movement. It would need to be a large amount of fore/aft movement at the spindle to do that, and I'm sure something else would have...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    @GearHead_1 Yes it was an OE part. Factory one had the exploding boot, so it was replaced under warranty. The replacement started leaking and failing, so I had to replace the replacement. Again, OE part just went in. As far as aftermarket, I only see one from GSP on RockAuto. A little...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Replaced my driver's front axle. Worked from home today so I did this during lunch. I had this same axle replaced about 2 months ago due to the boot failing and grease going everywhere, as per usual. 2 weeks ago I noticed a little grease inside the wheel again and the tell-tale clicking while...

    Brembo brakes

    Either Racing Brake (Jeep SRT Brembos) or the GT350 kit is great for the front. They both look much nicer and have a wide selection of aftermarket pads so you don't need factory Jeep or Ford pads. IF you do the GT350 kit, I'd highly recommend skipping the Ford pads as you'll be cleaning dust...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Just took it for a drive and did some launches. There is zero NVH increase. The rearend definitely feels more stable and planted, even at light throttle and over bumps. Mine always felt a little soft in the rear and these helped. Full throttle at the 1-2 and 2-3 shift I always felt too much...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Just installed the Steeda Subframe Bushing Inserts. Super super easy install, just used my floor jacks. It can be done with the wheels on but it's much easier with them off. I helped my buddy do this same thing on his S550 Mustang and it was such a bitch on that car. But our Explorers have...

    Duplicate Post

    The calipers are different (not just different colors) so the pads are definitely different.

    Rear Shocks

    Rear shocks are $100 each. Once the wheel is off, it takes 20 minutes per side to replace. And that 20 minutes includes a trip to the fridge and figuring out what beer you want. Based on the price they're charging you, I'm assuming the guys at that dealer drink Bud Light. More Information...

    Brakes

    Base brakes have 345mm front rotors, Street Pack have 363mm. Bust out the ruler if you're unsure. Also, the rear rotors on base brakes are solid and super narrow. Street Pack rear rotors are vented.

    Diff bolt

    This doesn't surprise me at all. Looking at the video Steeda posted with how much the subframe moves during acceleration, I'm surprised these 1-bolts don't snap more.

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    Went to a Ford Parts website, put in my VIN, and that's the cross member that came up.

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    Just ordered these with that nice Labor Day pricing. Yes I'm stock power wise for now, but these seem like a no brainer at any power level. That subframe movement in the video is ridiculous. 2020 here, VIN check says I have the 5035-J subframe.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    Hope yours stays working decent until the update! I was unlucky, mine shit the bed one day after the 22251 update. :mad:

    Ford Performance Tune

    No, it's Goosetuned. He uses the Cobb Accessport and creates his own email tunes for it instead of their OTS maps. I didn't know ZFG tuned the 21+ F150s until now; I only thought he did 20 and older. Haven't seen him post on those Raptor forums; maybe he's on the regular F150 forums. I have...

    Ford Performance Tune

    There were a bunch of people on the Gen 3 Raptor forums getting ready to blow their load about a rumor there would be a FP tune released. I directed them to this thread for entertainment purposes and to see the massive performance increase they'd expect. The Raptors also have an equivalent to...

    aFe BladeRunner Aluminum Charge Pipe Kits

    Kit looks nice, we all know AFE makes quality stuff. I do like that is keeps the factory BOV for us 2020 guys. I also would like to see a silver option.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    Not to jinx you or anything, but my 2020 it 36150 miles when the 22251 shit hit the fan. About 1 week out of warranty. New APIM needed, Ford covered 80% of the $1500 bill, my dealer covered their $200 diagnostic fee, and I just paid $100. The dealer said they would cover the diagnostic fee as...

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    I just had my APIM replaced yesterday for all these same 22251 issues. My car was a few hundred miles past warranty when the issues popped up. Ford covered 80% of the $1500 bill. Service advisor said Ford knows of this issue and it's affecting all Sync 3 cars. APIM replacement is the only fix...

    Service advisor said Ford knows about the 22251 issue and is working on it, but a new APIM is the only solution now.
