FORScan is a software scanner for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. https://forscan.org/home.html What is a BCM on a Ford? In automotive electronics, body control module or 'body computer' is a generic term for an electronic control unit responsible for monitoring and controlling...

Have you tried Forscan to check for any error codes? I think the APM or BCM module controls the USB ports.

Yes it should be running, Forscan should be able to do it. See the first three steps of the level check procedure.

Agreed, unless there is deep pitting and/or metal flaking off, best not to take it in, service calls sometimes cause more harm than good.

Looks like condensation from prolonged exposure (storage) in a high humidity environment, the darker rust spots are where the condensation formed water drops. I want to buy a 2024 F150 but its reported that they are being stored in such a manner at a race track. I went out and checked my 23ST, I...

So how would you set it up, smart phone on a tripod on the side of the street?

I have the same issues with my fender to door alignments, did not want to take it in to have it fixed, gonna unbolt it and do it myself, good to see that the fender was not glued in place. Thanks for the writeup!

You could use a peel and stick until you are ready to install an intercooler. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1082797644/2020-2024-explorer-emblem-overlay-full?ref=sold_out_ad-1&frs=1&plkey=03c06a130a47880c733d1e187fad189e7ffe7195%3A1082797644

I've read many posts saying they needed to modify the front wheel knuckle to strut bolt hole, others say it's not necessary. See Install section 3.2 below: https://www.foexplorer.com/ford_explorer_removal_and_installation_front_strut_and_spring_assembly-441.html

If they are trying to set the Camber with toe out of spec, I don't think it will work, I struggled aligning my ST because I was going out of order. It was only when I moved the upper control arm to the farthest outward position and ignored the Camber reading then set the toe, did the Camber fall...

Sway bar and or links?

Target was -1.4 on rear camber with the cambolts installed. Got to -1.3 and I stopped, good enough for me. toe in is the width of the BG racing string approx 1/64" across the width of the 21" rim. Will drive around and recheck/adjust. https://www.bg-racing.co.uk/b-g-racing-string-lines-kit

Thanks, I see that the OEM plug has a different color o-ring, it has been my experience that the black o-rings are a harder compound than the green o-rings. Thinking I'll just order OEM plugs one at a time.

Did you buy a box of Doorman plugs or one at a time? I ask because I bought a box of 5 but haven't used them yet. Wondering about shelf life.

No time to do it, will check it out tomorrow, maybe it's the cambolts. I hope not cause I like them. https://mcbayperformance.com/truck-suv/2020-2023-ford-explorer-greaseable-rear-cam-bolt-alignment-kit/

Ok, thanks

what about the radiator getting blocked?

I would install a water to air intercooler in an alternate location that did not block the radiator, it gets up to 120+ degrees F out here in the summer. Haven't installed a air to air intercooler due to concerns about that.

Suspect that if everyone used it the system (or vehicles) would crash.
