    Lovely visit to the dealer

    So I figured I'd post about my pleasant experience at my local Lincoln dealership. All this time I've been bringing my Explorer and other Ford vehicles to Ford for service. Although most experiences are "ok", I feel like it's like pulling teeth to get them to fix the issues I bring to their...

    Foam spray guns

    For those that like to detail their Explorer or other vehicles, I just bought this new foam gun. I've tried several that hook up to your garden hose and just don't cover very well. This is my first that hooks up to your pressure washer and my god does this thing work amazing. Power wash with...

    Thin stream of exhaust

    I noticed this while on remote start that there is a thin stream of exhaust coming out the muffler away from the exhaust holes. Possibly moisture drain holes?? Parking lot was too full of wet slush and snow for me to get down on the ground. Anyone else notice this on theirs? Don't recall...

    Sto n sho

    This was mentioned back in June/July about a possible Sto n Sho being available for the ST. Well I had inquired back then about it and they said that they would add it to the list of inquires but did not promise anything. Fast forward 8 months and I received a follow up email (shocked they...

    Neat things you have found out on the 6th gen.

    Ok, so why not start a thread with things you have learned that wouldn't just normally stand out. 1) windows are soft close and open. They slow down when almost closed or almost opened for a softer movement. 2) the dashes on the rpm and speedo get brighter with the speed you are going and...

    Light shudder at idle

    For anyone who has their ST, does anyone feel a light shudder at idle? It's not a constant vibration nor a miss with the engine firing.. but it is definitely an idle shudder. It's almost like you feel the AC kick on which puts strain on the engine quickly before it recovers. It isnt the AC...

    "Explorer" Hood Letters

    Explorer delays

    So through a few different people, I have heard that there are over 18,000 Explorers in storage and also that Ford just announced that they were installing the wrong brakes on some of the Performance packs. This could be part of the reason people have had theirs stuck in some sort of...

    "Blue" ST

    So nobody has said anything about the "Blue" color yet. When I debated on. Nautilus instead, we test drove a Blue Diamond Metallic and loved the color. Not realizing this is the same as Ford's Blue. Having seen these pictures, Inam a huge fan of it. Wish I would have seen these before we...
