What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Nianiamh]

So after getting the wheels on the other day I've been in for that rear camber adjustment, it certainly looks much better to the eye, they had to open up the the slot the bolt slides in on the upper arm. The figures mean absolutely nothing to me and they may of well just spoken in a different language when explaining it all to me lol anyhow here's the final numbers for those in the know, it looks good and if these numbers ain't going to destroy my tires then I'm happy with it.

Picked up the factory wheels today after getting a set of proper winter tires fitted to them ready for next winter, after getting the new 22s fitted earlier this week...........or so I thought until the Boss spoke and said she wants them on now for the rest of this winter, good job I'm such an understanding husband lol

Two of the four had high road force. Will have to go through the process of warranty or refund.

Lovely looking wheel, did the center caps come with them or did you get them from elsewhere?

Had them made.

Finally bit the bullet and got a 93 tune. I’ve had the 91 for a while but a couple more places around here have 93 now so I decided to upgrade. I didn’t think 40 Hp would be such a noticeable difference but it definitely is! I need to get a few datalogs for him to dial it in now.

Take a look at (Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GLVNBRJ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3

NOTE: I did return them for another set because the first one's were scratched during shipment.

Thanks for the reply Mate, my new wheels have a much larger center cap than stock so it looks like I'll need to go with just a decal for the caps I have.

Not so much today as it will be tomorrow. I ordered a UPR catch can and it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I finally got in touch with Brett at Fenfab after a few emails and two phone calls. He finally replied with answers to my questions, one of which was turn around time. For the ECM cover, backing plate, and charge pipe, the turn around time is a week. My thought was it would be easier to install everything, especially the charge pipe followed by the catch can, the main reason for the turn around time estimate.

Saturday, I installed the TRL Auto Stop Start Eliminator. Quick shipping and works perfectly.

I will tell you that FENFAB's Intake is amazing, I haven't done the hot side/charge pipe stuff yet, just the Intake. The fit and finish is amazing, and all of the parts are super easy to install, especially with the multiple videos on youtube. I'm old AF and other than some mild bruising on my ribs, I was able to do it an an afternoon. I'm not sure what your questions are, but most of it is self explanatory, or can be found on this site.

Thank you for your response. There is a lot of good information here for sure. My wife mostly wanted the Explorer, but I convinced her to get the ST. I'm old as well and even bruised up my left arm and scratched it up in two places getting that Auto Stop Start Eliminator installed. My questions were regarding the turn around time and if the ECM cover/backing plate caused any heat build up in the ECM. I was unsure of the metal used and its heat dissipation properties. Brett assured me there were no heat issues from the backing plate and cover. Where was your last duty station? I retired while at Ft. Bragg, NC.
