    FS SOLD- Whipple Intercooler & Steeda Springs

    Hello All, After multiple engines in my ST I decided not to deal with it anymore and Ford bought it back. I haven't been in it since March of 23 and removed some parts and I'm finally getting around to selling them. Local (Phoenix, AZ) would be ideal to not deal with shipping, but shipping is...

    It just never ends...

    Just like others I had been experiencing smoke on cold starts which started after an engine replacement earlier this year. The dealer had another ST in the shop for the exact same issue and came to the conclusion that it was the drivers turbo on that one as well (like it has been going for most)...

    Inaccurate MPG Adjustment

    Not sure if this has been posted before, or maybe I just wasn't searching for the right terms. But thought I would post it for anyone else that wants to adjust the MPG in the cluster if it's off like mine was. I'll check the accuracy over the next couple tanks after changing mine, but it started...

    Found A Diagnostic Screen Today

    When I put my vehicle in reverse today the backup camera display wasn't showing things correctly. (sorry for the dusty screen, didn't realize how bad it was until I looked at the photos!) My first thought was "Crap, yet another thing going wrong with this vehicle now." so I swapped to the rear...

    Rear Shocks

    The dealer noted that my rear shocks are seaping (11.5k miles on the clock) but won't replace them because of the Steeda springs (which have been on less than a year and 2k miles). The only thing I have been able to find online is some replacements by Steeda (upgrade for regular explorers to...

    Calling Phoenix AZ owners

    Hey all, After having the engine replaced in my 21 there have been odd noises and I've been back to the dealer a couple times already and recently made a couple under hood videos (for the audio). I've sent those to the dealer but would really like to get some video/audio from a properly running...

    Steering Wheel Play

    Hey All, I just got my vehicle back (again) and driving home I noticed that it felt like I was fighting the vehicle more to keep it straight and there was more play in the steering wheel. So when I got home I noticed even when the vehicle is off there is few degrees of play in either direction...

    Request for some info - undercarriage fasteners

    Since I got my vehicle back this last Tues eve I've been worried things were missed from the dealer after replacing the engine. What prompted me to shimmy under the vehicle is an odd rattle/grinding noise on hard accelerations (I remember reading about paper rustling noises being the panels...

    Vehicle Status Update - bit of reading

    The last time I posted it was asking about the smell coming into the vehicle and was finally able to get the vehicle into the dealership on Feb 4th, 2022. I brought the vehicle in for a few things, drivers seat noise, sulfuric smell, and valvetrain noise. The dealer replaced the rails for the...

    Drivability problem this morning, need opinions

    Hey all, I was heading out for an errand, started the vehicle let it run a few for the RPM's to drop and when I put the vehicle in reverse the RPM's dropped and the engine started stumbling bad, the battery icon on the dash flickered, vehicle wouldn't move and I wasn't even able to turn the...

    Photo Request for comparison

    Hey all, I got my vehicle back from the body shop after the accident and I feel like there is more of a gap between the bumper and hatch weather seal than there used to be. Could anyone confirm if this is normal? I also noticed that the bumper guard it's flat like it should be, so I'll be...

    Not the morning I anticipated

    I was on my way to a shop to have my Steeda springs installed and on the way I got hit. Traffic cam video shows the other driver ran a red as I was clearing the intersection making my left hand turn. :cry: The upside is that no one was hurt and the damage could have been way worse. But...

    Climate Fan Behavior

    Hey All, When I am running the air (I always have airflow going) and have the fan speed set to level 1, the amount of airflow isn't consistent at all. At times it will be almost no airflow, then for a few seconds it will feel like it's on level 2 or 3, then back to almost nothing. Before...

    ST SUV Experience - July 29, 2021 - Park City, UT

    Hey all, Rather than hijacking the other thread about the experience I figured I would put this one out there and include a link to my videos from that day. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4F4_-BLpyymrJrKfyY5C29EeNrWZYaCW A few photos as well

    Backup Camera on Larger screen

    Not sure how everyone else thinks it should be configured compared to what it is now (I think we all agree it's horrible as is), but thought I would do a quick and dirty photoshop of how I think Ford should have done it. I could be wrong, but can't imagine it would take all that much for the...

    Transmission Fluid Level Check

    Is there a simple way to check the fluid level of the transmission? I did a google search and didn't find much on the new 2020+, but the one thing I did find showed to check the fluid you have to be under the vehicle.

    Interior creaks and rattles

    The biggest interior creak that annoys me is one that seems to be coming from the rear drivers door. If I push lightly on the door panel I can hear what sounds like something stuck releasing each time (somethings sticky) and this is the noise I hear when on a non-smooth road, so pretty much all...

    Floor Liner Question

    I have the Ford floor liners which fit great, but I find it odd that the front passenger has a spot for post like the drivers side (which has 2) yet there is nothing in the floor to attach it to. Even all the aftermarket ones I have looked at show this same post hole. Was this post in the 2020...

    Redline Hood Struts

    I ordered the hood strut kit from Redline Tuning via Whooshmotorsports and the kit didn't come with the required rivets. Anyone else that has installed this kit find these missing? I emailed Ron at Whoosh about it and I'm waiting to hear back. edit: updated "whoosh" to have the h :)

    Put 400 miles on the vehicle today

    Started the day with 100 miles on the odo and ended with 500 for the day yesterday. First trip and the vehicle saw rain, mud, rocks, and snow. The mud and rocks were sooooo not planned :oops:.
