    Lowering your Explorer ST!

    SmittysST I have four 1.20" custom made spacers with lug nuts that I ran only two for a while, the other two are still in the box for $200. I don't remember why I only ran two as I have since sold the ST. I'm in So Cal if you want to come check them out. Tommy

    current used values

    If you want the fast buck versus the last buck try CarMax. They are still paying the most, they give you a price good for 7 days with no obligation. It will give you a pretty good idea what you're going to get for your ST.

    SoCal owners check-in

    I've had that plate awhile, 2016 Mustang Premium GT, 2019 C-7 Grand Sport. The plates travel well, since Newsom released all the prisoners it's taken longer to get them but if you dare to venture into a DMV office they can track your order...

    Ford Performance Tune

    10 days in on the FP Tune with K&N drop in, Gibson axle back, and 91 octane. Self installed in less than an hour after a little issue with the anti virus program on my laptop (nothing to do with the tune). My startup routine every time, Start button, release the parking brake, spin the mode to...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Upgraded hood lettering to bring a little red to go with the ST badges, pinstripe, and calipers. I know some like to just remove them all together so I'm just trying to be a little different. 10 days in on the FP tune and loving it!

    Ford Performance Tune

    Having driven Hwy 1 from Santa Monica to the Oregon line on 2 wheels and 4 wheels there are worst places you could be stuck but you better head for higher ground like the 101 or the 5 because there's more rain coming. I'm way farther south in Seal Beach, CA.

    Ford Performance Tune

    All of your questions have been bantered, argued, and discussed in the previous 32 pages but no need to worry because the FP tune is not available for your 2022 in California. Watch Steeda or Lethal Performance for the best price if you choose to move on it.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I only run 91 and in sport mode exclusively and so far it performs well though I haven't looked for the extra 30 hp yet. I believe it will run fine on 89 but you will not see the full benefit of the FP tune.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Ford Performance Tune

    Help! I'm registered at Performance Site, voucher # entered, ready to download the Zip and my Norton is saying this site/download has a virus Huer.AdvMLB. Called FP tech line, he said just open the firewall. Anyone else run into this? Going down this path eventually I will be asked "Are you sure...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Steeda is offering this product for $699.00 and stating install time of 15 minutes.... Come on, someone go first and tell the rest of us what you think of it!

    Fabric Dye ST Logo

    There is a post maybe in "What have you done..." with pictures of someone doing theirs in red, it looked good. I'm guessing he used a red sharpie and spent some time and patience to get it done.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    There's lots of Explorer Red Items on Amazon, including the above as well as trim rings for all the interior knobs to go with the ST emblem on the steering wheel, ST pedal covers, and others.

    New Gibson axle-back kit in the works

    To those of you that are on the fence regarding this system that is a very friendly price for a great axle back. Paint it with VHT flat black before the install and it virtually disappears except for tips.

    Actuator noise when open driver door

    There is a page in the manual that states those sounds are the many circuit breakers closing after turning the engine off as the ST shuts down. In the morning unlocking mine with the fob the sounds are there as it's getting ready to go before starting it....
