    Facts on adoption of electric vehicles

    If you think of a car as a transportation tool, there is nothing wrong with an EV. If you are a urban or suburban driver who commutes a short distance back and forth to work, it's an ideal machine assuming you have a small battery pack and can plug it in at home or work. Of course, you'd have...

    The "Space GhoST" has lost its powers....

    ....at least all electrical power. Went out this morning and doors won't open. Nothing would work. Use the keyfob key to unlock the truck...still nothing. No power whatsoever. No way to even put it in neutral or disengage e-brake. Ok, spend 20 minutes via customer service hell to finally get...

    "Space GhoST"- single turbo ST build

    I've been meaning to put this thread together for some time, the only thing stopping me is the limitations of the site's software- to wit, a person wanting to put together a concise, logical thread of events has to contend with comments, questions, cross-talk and chatter if the subject matter...

    It finally happened...

    Nearly three years of pretty much trouble free operation in my 2020. Went out today and the entire Sync system is haywire. No audio- in fact the "Audio" touchscreen squares are greyed out. No Nav- It shows a map, of where it ended up from yesterday's drive, but there is a Nav with the...

    Throttle Bodies, CFM, and Mass Airflow

    There was recently a thread about larger throttle bodies for the ST. I wanted to address this in a comprehensive way for those interested (Must be more than just me!) First, let's talk about airflow in terms of Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) vs Mass Airflow. CFM is a VOLUME measurement; it...

    JK Performance Products

    Thankfully, this site is fairly free from false advertising, but in the interest of humor, I thought it would be a grin to invite others to make up their own "performance upgrades". So, I'll start: Dateline 11/19/2020: 200 extra HP for the 2020-2022 Explorer ST Ersatz Brothers today...

    ST valvetrain

    I've been doing research, and recently posted that the 3.0 engine had a hydraulic finger-follower valve "rocker" based on info from an internet site. Then, I was looking at the Ford site which listed mechanical buckets. Now, not that this is a big deal, but does anyone here know for sure?

    For those thinking about a "performance" exhaust system

    For the last year and a half on this site, I've seen scores of posts on performance exhaust systems. I don't normally post from a soapbox about these things, but as I've posted several times in a number of threads about this particular item, if you'll bear with me, I'll try to put my thoughts...

    The most unintelligible Ford craigslist post ever....

    I'm usually more interested in the engineering aspects of our vehicles, but occasionally interested in sharing something funny. Take a look at this: https://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/d/thorn-hill-urgent-trade-neededmy-250/7360837972.html

    Shut down, everything stays on.

    So, I've had my ST for 14 months, not a single problem....until today. Ran out to pick up some Chipotle. Everything fine until I get home. I have a basic shutdown technique, pull the parking brake (I'm on a hill), turn off engine. The car starts ding-ding-ding. No notifications other than a...

    Do's and DONT's of Social Media Street Racing.

    I was headed to my daughter's on Saturday, when I encountered one of the most bizarre occurrences of my life when some young man wanted to race. The only way I can describe this driver's behavior is to imagine he is following information from social media. For the satire-challenged, this is a...
