    Flex Pipe Upgrade

    If you can show that the flex pipe was not impacted by your aftermarket exhaust, they should warranty it.

    Brake Upgrade

    Does anyone know the specs on the PIU brakes? Is it just the ST performance brakes without the fancy calipers?

    Interceptor amber DRL's on Explorer St

    The PIUs have different headlights - they have integrated, or provisions for integrated red / blue warning lights as well as different color DRLs, they do not have white DLRs, only amber.

    Flex Pipe Upgrade

    The rattle is a recall item, I had mine replaced by the dealership.

    360/backup Camera picture quality

    The POS $25k Chevy rental I got last time my ST was in the shop had a backup camera that made the STs look like a 2001 webcam.

    Torn on installing dash cam via mirror tap vs fuse

    I looked at the mirror when I did mine, but the camera I bought actually has 2 hot leads, 1 on battery, and 1 on ignition, and uses either-or depending on what I want it to do. I ran it just like the pictures above and had plenty of options in the passenger compartment fuse box. Use a trim...

    Console Vault

    What kind of lock cylinder is it? Does it look like you can remove/replace it? I know enough about locks and bypassing locks to know that if this comes from Ford, it is probably a crap tubular cylinder, and would definitely replace it.

    AC already going...?

    A few days ago I turned on the AC and set it at 70...and it was HOT. I turned the fan all the way up, and hot air. I let it run for a minute or so just to see what happened...nothing but hot. I had to bring the temp down into the mid 60s before it started to get cold, I then brought it back up...

    Debadging

    I recall reading somewhere that removing some of the badges on the STs are a pain in the ass. Has anyone encountered this? I am looking to remove all of the badges/lettering minus the ovals...just want to know what I am getting myself into and if anyone has had success with any particular method.

    Budget rugged dedicated PC for FORSCAN. Mac users take note.

    On any given day I use windows, OSx and some flavor of linux. I believe in high-quality multiuse hardware...my daily driver laptop is a higher-end Lenovo business laptop. They are rugged (ish), have lots of hardware capabilities (NFC, smartcard reader, lots of ports...) and since it is a "yoga"...

    Run Flats?

    My old work trucks had Michelin run flats, I never heard of a single vehicle having an issue with them anywhere they were used. I think I am going to stick with 20s

    Run Flats?

    I was actually looking at tires / wheels using your size as a reference, but I think I am going a little smaller

    Run Flats?

    Does anyone have a preference of run flat tires? Does anyone have them on their ST?

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    The dealership is linking the shudder to the disintegrating flexpipe. If the Thermal replaced them, I would look at suspension components next. This is inherent to 1st model year vehicles...just like buying brand-new technology...comes with the territory.

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    Ford is replacing it for me as we speak under warranty.

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    Took the car to the dealership yesterday, finally. They just called me and said that the rattling and resonation is coming from the same place: The flex pipe they previously clamped to reduce the rattling is now "disintegrating" and needs to be completely replaced. So, today's lesson: The flex...

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    I have an absolutely ridiculous rattle from under the car. It started back over the summer. Someone else posted about it (might have been in this thread?) as well. It turns out for them it was one of the flex pipes. The mechanic at the dealership went on a drive with me so he could hear it, he...
