    Hard launch transmission disengages

    No idea, just didn’t want to throw him under the bus unnecessarily by not being clear. His exact words: “It’s not making the 1-2 shift at all. It looks like a transmission issue. Please check the fluid level in the trans.” Didn’t follow up after checking trans fluid. Kinda doubt the dealer...

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Just to clarify - he didn't see the failure in logs I sent from another occurrence that did not involve the wrench. I haven't sent him logs that capture the DTC -- that won't show up until you repeat the failure several times.

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Exact description of what I’m seeing. Sent in my logs, Adam said he didn’t see a shift and that I should check trans fluid. Fluid levels came back fine.

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Me too. Problem is always accompanied with rather jarring wheel hop. Easily recreated, though I've cut it out now. Identical rev-bounce behavior to when my dumb ass forgets to shift in manual mode.

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Too much ZFG sauce :cool: Just need some better traction and I'm betting I'd be good.

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    I had my fluid level checked and it came back fine. Seeing several people with this issue now due to cold weather, I chocked it up to being normal. We're just spinning too much. Transmission is acting completely fine otherwise. One user pulled an Overboost P0234 DTC after repeated iterations.

    Experiences with the fuel tank sloshing issue?

    You're gonna hear all kinds of noises from your Explorer. Some of them minor and easy to forget, like fuel tank sloshing, others aggravating even after 10k miles, such as interior trim rattling, seats clicking, heat shields flapping, etc. I've grown to just accept that this thing is just built...

    Thermal R&D 3inch won’t fit with SPD 3inch downpipes and mid pipes

    I get some vibration when my exhaust backs off and rubs against the OEM downpipe notch or the rear hangers. I had the notch removed, I think it's missing from the aftermarket stuff so shouldn't be an issue for you. With my thermal, the hangers on the mufflers back too far down and there is...

    Disabled FENG with forscan, proximity sensors sound different

    I still have this saved on my desktop from when I made the change. Check the last post from Road.racer

    Thermal midpipes keep coming loose

    Gotta send the old ones back to Thermal unfortunately :cautious:

    Thermal midpipes keep coming loose

    Posted on the FB group and it looks like several people are seeing the same problem. Definitely just going to have it tack welded so I can be done with it. Thanks!

    Thermal midpipes keep coming loose

    Will absolutely do that if a simpler, less permanent method doesn't work.

    Thermal midpipes keep coming loose

    Anyone running a Thermal 3" having problems with the midpipes backing off of the stock downpipes? I've re-tightened several times, and most recently got it to the shop to have the bolt torqued to hell. The "nipple" on the stock downpipe is causing quite a bit of vibration when the pipes back off...

    How many miles did your Explorer ST have when you bought it?

    85 miles on my 2022. Wonder where they came from.. Are the dealerships the ones driving them around?

    Second Row Seat Rattle

    Wouldn't surprise me either. My liftgate plastic panel wasn't even snapped in fully, I can hear a cable vibrating in there when I go over bumps.

    Second Row Seat Rattle

    I'm missing the same felt shield bolt lol. My 2022 is barely assembled. Loose interior and exterior panels, missing screws, ABS sensor not fully seated, seat trim pieces missing hardware, liftgate rattling because it wasn't fully assembled... Having a hell of a time with her :)

    Transmission issues update

    Thanks for this. I'm experiencing similar symptoms - no shift from 1st to 2nd and I appear to be bouncing off the rev limiter, which is disengaging the transmission temporarily, and sometimes forcing the vehicle into limp mode. Mine is a 2022.

    Transmission issues update

    My 2022 is doing this. No shift to second gear, losing throttle/transmission stall for a few seconds. Sometimes enters limp mode. Were you able to get a diagnosis/solution?

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    My vehicle went into limp mode today after accelerating from stop. No launch this time, just smash and go.
