    Just installed the Steeda Rear Diff Brace...

    I have the same diff brace but it’s winter here so I haven’t bothered to install it. I’m also waiting for the bolt recall to see if the dealer installs a 4 bolt instead of the 3 bolt assembly I have. I feel like the ST’s transfer too much weight. The stock suspension does little to resist...

    St Gearing

    Having a numerically higher ratio is and was important for 4 & 5 speed NA cars and any truck with larger than stock tires, but with a 10 speed auto and turbos every upshift shift results in the engine operating at or near peak TQ negating most of the benefits of a higher gear ratio. With an 4WD...

    Auto Stop/Start

    Why would I turn it back on???…lol. But There are times when I would like to toggle between a stock tune and AM….but I just go into eco currently on my Bolton ST. When you load it up with passengers and cargo you can feel the shift difference and I feel bad for the 10R60 and that’s when it...

    Auto Stop/Start

    I think Sport Mode disables the autostart/stop function when active. Most aftermarket tunes can also disable it completely.

    Sensor Notifications always coming on?

    We had first snow storm of the year and my ST was frequently throwing front parking sensors alerts and camera warnings. Is it possible to turn these stupid reoccurring notifications/warnings off when the front of the car is covered in ice and snow? I’m fine with a notification coming on once...

    Bolt pattern and TPMS for 2020+ Explorer?

    Hi, I’m looking at buy a used set of winter tires for my Explorer ST. The ones in question are 245/60R18 mounted on police steelies from a 2017 Explorer. Google tells me that the 2017 and 2020+ explorers share the same 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern, can any confirm this? Also does anyone know if the...

    New Explorer ST 1/4 mile record! Post you time slips!

    Probably only a handful of 10 second STs, are the rotating assemblies in these 3.0 forged by chance?

    Boost Gauge?

    Yeah I have a SCT device that reads out boost PSI or you could go aftermarket….but I was hopeful that the factory gauge cluster could be used.

    Boost Gauge?

    That sucks….strange that the one thing that makes a 3.0L V6 a little more interesting than a commuter appliance and Ford doesn’t think to give customers access to the data. I mean its not like it would even be a specific item to the ST’s as all Explorers have turbos…

    Boost Gauge?

    Is there anywhere in the selection items that you can add Boost pressure to the display? Am I just missing it or is this just an oversight on Ford’s part?

    who's tried the new Steeda diff brace?

    Not really for me…the way bigger issue is the glass 3 bolt setup from FMC.

    Offroad experiences - post em up!

    I have a black explorer as well, I would image that flashing grill LEDs would further encourage other slower motorists to move out of the way on the freeway. We got this car a few weeks ago….the first road trip my wife reports to me she flashed the hi beams and said those LED lights are bright...

    who's tried the new Steeda diff brace?

    Hi, I purchased one haven’t received or installed it yet…. but I’m curious if you can check the diff level and drain/refill with the unit installed?

    Steeda springs vs H&R springs

    I’m tuned and on E30…no wheel hop yet on the stock rubber but I haven’t tried brake boosting much past 2200 RPM or so. Mostly just leave off idle to protect that 3 bolt…lol Also are you guys turning off the traction control for max acceleration launches? Most times I just don’t mess with...

    Steeda springs vs H&R springs

    Can you get wheel hop on the stock rubber or is that only the people running DRs?

    who's tried the new Steeda diff brace?

    I think it was $50 off the regular price, I also picked up Steeda’s intercooler and that was also on sale so I’ll do both one weekend.

    Steeda springs vs H&R springs

    That is probably true….but even a ST is still an Explorer and is much more likely to be a daily driver than a Mustang. Lots of people don’t ever mod their daily’s and an average Explorer buyer is far less likely to mod than an average Mustang buyer. The net result is likely a smaller market...

    who's tried the new Steeda diff brace?

    I bought one a few days and I’m eager to get it on my ST. Mine is a 3 bolt and the Steeda solution looks to be the most rugged solution on the market.

    Ordered the Steeda Diff Brace and intercooler

    Will do, I really hated the idea of dropping the pumpkin on a hard launch so I wanted something to beef it up… so it was either a 9” swap or the Steeda diff brace….lol
