    Adaptive CC

    I use ACC almost exclusively in stop-and-go. In fact, that particular aspect of the feature is one of the reasons I made sure to get a vehicle that had it. I probably sit in 20 miles of stop and go traffic each day. Probably thousands of miles using the feature now in traffic. I've never...

    Picture thread: Post pics of your past favorite rides

    Yeah that's how this thing is too. TFS heads, custom grind cam, ported intake, exhaust, etc etc. Start it up, cam is camming away, clothes stink like exhaust and wife tells me she can hear my coming home way before I even get to the street. I love how raw it is.

    Picture thread: Post pics of your past favorite rides

    Not really past ride...as I still own this car. But this was my daily driver in HS...27 years ago. I managed to restore it about 5 years ago, redid the interior, max motorsports suspension and a healthy HCI setup running Megasquirt.

    Anyone running a full standalone ecu?

    I run a Megasquirt MS3 in one of my Mustangs, but I'm no help with regards to the Explorer. However this sort of topic interests me so i'm here for any potential responses. With that said, I really haven't seen anyone running a standalone on one of these.

    Just to update my own question, this is what I ended up doing. Just removing the center bench seat. In and out a few times now so it’s been convenient to swap between 6 and 7 seat setups as needed. Only takes me 10 mins to install/pull the seat now. did need to take the seat belt buckle out...

    Tinting gone wrong, elsewhere - need help

    Agree. They messed it up. Don’t overthink it or go out of your way here. Have a dealer get you a quote on part only or part plus repair and hand it to the shop and see if they want to pay out of pocket or go thru THEIR insurance.

    Tinting gone wrong, elsewhere - need help

    I've pulled many door panels in my day. It's actually a very easy task to do, especially on a Ford. They make these panels pretty assembly-line friendly so it's mostly 1 piece. That area is molded, so a repair some be extremely difficult if not impossible. The red and blue stitching is the...

    Dash cluster

    Unfortunately the gauge cluster has not been hacked in any way that allows for customization. You are limited to what is setup in the various modes, so to get a round dial tach will require switching to one of the other modes that has that tach.

    Coming into fall in New England. Perfect 70-80 degree days. If I’m not driving my Mustang convertible with the top down, I have the sunroof open on the ST as long as it’s not raining. Once winter hits, I usually pop it up, even with the heat on. my start routine is usually engine start...

    Removing second row seats

    I also removed the middle seat from my bench. You have to remove the seat belt receiver from the middle seat and plug it into the harness. I did this and just taped it up and tucked it under one of the side seats with a zip tie. That will get rid of the warnings. It's not hard. T50 torx for...

    removing 2nd row seats

    I removed the seatbelt from my middle seat. Had to snake the wire out of it but it was the only way. You cannot jump the harness connector. Won’t work and may damage ECU. not aware of there being airbags in the 2nd row. My guess is the wiring you are seeing for the two outer seats is for the...

    Climate Domain

    Wondering if anyone has info on the Fmods file needed to make this function work. I searched and very little on this subject. It’s a fairly useless screen, but kinda like the idea of enabling it. when you enable it in ForScan (Climate Domain in the APIM) , it looks like this This video...

    2026 Ford Explorer Replaces Vista Roof With Fixed Glass Option

    That would bum me out. I love my sunroof and have it open constantly. Of the 4 cars I own, 3 have sunroofs and one is a convertible. Knock on wood but I’ve never had a single sunroof-related issue.

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    How would you enable/disable those buttons? I'm running them but wasn't aware this was a selectable thing? Also, i recall seeing a shot of someones setup where they had two, identical sized, carplay windows on top of each other. WAZE on top and a wide screen version of Spotify on the...
