    Rear Shocks

    Ford dealer already folded my pinch welds on warranty work. Not once, twice! I also have carbon fiber skirts and they run next to the pinch welds. I have a set of magnetic pinch weld mounts with blocks for my quickjack. I always bring them now and always talk to the mechanic before he lifts...

    Metal in Oil at 50k Miles

    That’s not right. Unless that filter has 50k miles on it, no way that is normal imo. Predict oil analysis will be ugly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Ford recall for the Explorer

    Not so new but accurate. The dealer test is to repeatedly rev the piss out of your engine. If nothing happens, your gtg. I figure I’ve revved the piss out of my engine enough to know the valves are fine[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Shocks

    At this price I just ordered a set of rears even though I have an extended warranty. I’m coming up on 40k and getting some very low speed noises in rear and was going to take it in. After the $100 deductible and dealing with multiple trips to the dealer to get it fixed it wasn’t worth it. They...

    Anyone try the PPE tranny pan?

    Rear differential leaking

    Bizarre. Everything around it is dry? Exhaust condensation? Totally guessing here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    Digging those headlights. Also threw some Vibrant resonators after down pipes for a little quiet. They were slip fit so I kept it that way for now. Drivers side went 4” behind the DP and the passenger side went after the flex joints before the Thermal mid. Was also very happy with new sound...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Valvoline full synthetic in diffs (90 back, 140 front) and Motorcraft Mercon LV in transfer case. I like the squeeze packs. Rear differential fluid required a hand pump since there is only about an inch of clearance. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Did some fluids and finally put 2 Vibrant resonators on my Thermal. I loved the sound of the Thermal 2.5 but it got a touch too loud when i put down pipes on. Never would have minded 30 years ago[emoji23]. Anyhow, I’m back to loving the sound again. Took off about 10-15%. Regarding fluids at...

    Adding a subwoofer to 2025 Explorer ST?

    The Nav-Tv is a fantastic product imo. A little overkill for adding just a sub though. For just a sub I’d look for a LOC for the sub channel. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    Because sound is a very subjective thing. One size does not fit all. I for one thought the stock was way too quiet and wanted something a little louder but not loud like my teen years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Torque Converter Stall Speed

    Cause they rev like crazy every time you are accelerating from a light even with light throttle. If it’s really loose the car won’t move until it hits its stall speed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    They were closed weekends a few years ago. Collect checkout appears to be a Merchant processing application by Meridian Bank for vendors to easily send invoices and get paid. I would say 75% likely legit[emoji23]. Given you have been txting, I would definitely call Velgen to verify. Not...

    Torque Converter Stall Speed

    That sounds about right for a turbo car. IIRC most of my cars and trucks were all under 2k rpm stock. I bet if you look back at his dyno charts, good things are happening at 2800rpm[emoji23] I had a couple of high stall converters (3k+) in faster vehicles. They were great at the track but they...

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    I will let you know when I get them on. I’ve used them before on a V8 so I’m hopeful they sound good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Torque Converter Stall Speed

    Good advice! Depends totally on the hp/torque curve. You want the stall speed to be close to where the engine starts making good power after the turbo lag. Having said that, if you’ve never driven a vehicle with a high stall converter there are disadvantages. Higher stall means more heat and...
