    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Ditto. It would be annoying as hell if everytime I moved forward slowly, the front camera is displayed. The button on the console is the perfect solution for that forward parking spot.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    We honestly won't know if the new bushing design works until a year or two later. The bolt replacement is going to buy Ford time. And for the talk of a few hundred failures for 200k+ Explorers, let it be known that only the Ecoboost 3.0L were designed by Ford engineers for the 4 bolt...

    Leaking oil?

    Certainly possible. Mine leaked enough to cover the entire rear of the oil pan and onto the subframe. You can see if it's bad by just looking from the side and seeing if you see oil on the subframe and oil pan. Also, the oil is not dark like used motor oil. Some have reported that their...

    The TSB says builds up to 08/2021.

    Leaking oil?

    There's no TSB for the FADA leak. There is a TSB for the FADA failing. Remedy is to get rid of the FADA and replace with intermediate shaft and LH axle half shaft. TSB 23-2174

    Drive mode knob locked?

    Glad you got that working. Never knew that was possible.

    Tramlining; weird issue.

    That doesn't mean it's bad. It is the well known metallic "tink" sound and the fix is to lube the axle splines. Early on, dealers were replacing the axle but that should not be the solution anymore.

    Pirelli tires

    Another vote for Pirelli Weatheractives. Compared to my recollection of Micheline A/S4 when new, these are more comfy. Grip seems just as good. In fact, I recently had an emergency stop with brake assist activated and really saved me from rear-ending the car in front.

    ST Lemon

    Any possibility for lemon law? I certainly wouldn't be happy with all that.

    Oil change

    Highway robbery. Just do it yourself. It's relatively easy. You should be able to DIY for about $50 for synthetic oil, filter, and drain plug.

    Tossing around idea of trading in our '23 ST?

    I'd personally wait for the 2025's. It is supposed to have the google infotainment. Sync 4 may be an improvement on Sync3 but that's not saying much.

    Driveshaft Seal Check

    Being a MY2022, you *may* have v.1 of the intermediate shaft. it looks like the FADA but is missing the harness port. Only way to tell is to peek at the FADA connected to the LH front axle and see if it has a connector. There are a lot of "things" with MY2020-2021. Being that you are an...

    Driveshaft Seal Check

    Advacomp, if you just have a FADA leak and no codes, they will remove your FADA and replace the faulty O-ring most likely. I would strongly urge you to discuss replacing the FADA entirely for the new intermediate shafts that have been going in since 2022. Most recently 2023+ have been getting...

    Stock platinum tune to ST tune

    Ford Performance Tune is there for the taking

    Interior Rattle / Clicking Noise

    Sounds like the undershield. If you haven't done so already, replace all plastic fasteners with stainless m6 nut and fender washer.

    Ford Performance Tune

    My 2020 had the PCM updated 2/2021. There has been no further PCM updates since that time when I have checked via FDRS, including as recently as a couple months ago.

    Ford Performance Tune

    This also is purely speculation. I know for fact my MY2020 hasn't had a new PCM update from Ford for at least 2 years. To say 2022 and 2023 had better trans tuning is conjecture.

    New York State inspection with a tune.

    How the heck are they going to know you have a tune?

    2023 Audio System Issues

    Get it from the Ford site and update via USB stick. 22251 can also wreck wifi updates and Ford Pass.
