    FP Tune or ZFG?

    Yep, I forgot about the extras offered by HPtuners and ZFG. You’re sol with Cobb. They’re just too little too late AND you can’t get the Acesstuner software for it. Hard fail on the Cobb Tuning setup for the “real” hotrodders. GooseTuned is stuck with Cobb for now. I think he also uses HPtuners...

    Press brake to start

    You have the key(button) on or vehicle dark full off?

    FP Tune or ZFG?

    There’s not even a valid comparison. There are two aftermarket tuners that are at the top of their game. #1 for this platform is indeed ZFG(Adam using HPtuners setup) with the next being GooseTuned(Winfield using the Cobb Tuning setup). He is “next” because he doesn’t yet have the long-term...

    Explorer ST 1/4 Mile Times With Engine Warranty

    Yes, common sense should prevail, but we all know…

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    If every forum you post in responds to you with similar disdain, you ever think it is just you rather than the entire world? Yeah, victimhood is a bitch.

    Explorer ST 1/4 Mile Times With Engine Warranty

    Technically speaking, the entire warranty isn’t voided or any other term meaning “entirety”. Only the covered components that may fail due to any modification thereof. In the case of a power modification, the dealer/Ford can deny ANY driveline warranty claim and it will likely hold up in court...

    Driver assist settings question

    No, you can’t turn off just the steering piece. You can turn the entire lane keeping system off. It will likely help your situation if you take the time to sit down and peruse the owners manual for your vehicle. Its purpose is to describe all the functions and operations. I know it’s easy to...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I recommend to move out of that #1 state in the country. If then you still can’t afford fuel, then buy a damn Prius. I have 3 Ford Performance turbo vehicles AND a fucking Prius, so my wife can piss around with her local trips shopping, female gossip clubs, etc. edit: if you’re running that...

    The FORZDA3 2021 Rapid Red ST "NOT-a-Build" Project

    No, sorry I didn’t take pics. There are several scattered on the forum in the related threads though. Edit: the single bolt was bent as most are, so I replaced it while installing the Steeda brace. IMO, with the Steeda setup, you can forget about the mounts because the next weakest link will...

    COBB Accessport - Goosetuned Tuning thread

    I’m quite familiar with Winfield(GooseTuned) and agree his overall tuning strategy aligns with mine and is very good as the tuning business is his #1 priority such that he is constantly testing to refine his work. ZFG(Adam) is currently at the top for this platform due to the most experience and...

    New York State Inspection with a tune.

    Just leave that terrible socialist/tyrant governed state and enjoy life more.

    Rear differential noise on decel

    You’re describing classic worn differential gear noise, likely due to lack of fluid changes, or the original setup was off a bit.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Oh shit! Someone get a message to the fire starter guy! He’ll have a coronary trying to say that’s untrue.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    The real shame is that the technicians are likely relatively new because the self-motivated auto repair techs are aging out and replaced with these unfortunate young people who grew up with idiots for parents and teachers who trained them on nothing other than how to be a victim. At least these...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    The service “writer” is covering for the goons’ idiocy. The ticket plainly says he(?) drained the diff “fluid”. If it smoked after just a few miles, it wasn’t “under filled”, it was empty.

    ZFG DMS TDN Tuning Hiccup

    ZFG loads the file to your account in the TDN network and sends you a notice in your TDN app and your email. Then you sync your app to the TDN and your file is connected to your app. You can “resync” your TDN app and the files should be checked and updated. All the instructions should have been...

    ZFG DMS TDN Tuning Hiccup

    Doors and widows “shouldn’t affect the tune load/flash unless the battery voltage fluctuates. I recommend do NOT open or close doors or windows during the process as any voltage bump CAN affect the flash process if the battery isn’t fully charged. Your issue may be the tune file initial load to...

    Cobb Accessport now available for Explorer ST

    Cobb really blew it this time. They have no plans to release the end-user Accesstuner software. That totally kills even the possibility of me buying anything for my Explorer from Cobb. It’s sad really.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Now to address the new bushing & bolt. Based on this new design bushing, it appears to a knowledgeable person that Ford thinks the root cause was the sheer angle not remaining perpendicular to the fastener centerline such that it wasn’t subjected to a pure sheer load resulting in the bolt...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Your information is great for anyone reading, but as a reply to the fire starter idiot it will mean nothing as he is well, stupid and refuses to acknowledge his lack of knowledge. Kinda like this: When you’re dead, you don’t know you’re dead. The pain is only felt by others. The same thing...
