Keeping an eye on this since I've had the TSB done without much improvement. Just received the recall letter but guessing it's the same repair I've had done without much improvement. Still shutting off re-circulatory and opening windows after a hard throttle, doesn't even need to be WOT.

So the engine was clattering, etc running on half a quart of oil and now it's just okay, no issues?

Totally normal. It would have also been much better with a larger tank but guessing room / possibly weight dictated sizing.

Just use Top Tier branded stations.

Thank you. I was talking about something official for the "SSM" in regards to the tires. I was hoping there was something similar to a TSB but I got it. As far as the Nittos, I've pretty much read every single website review on them but wanted an Explorer owner's perspective. Thanks you though.

I was looking for something a little more official then a forum post that might of been copied / pasted from somewhere else. I don't see SSM referenced in Post #433. I don't know what SSM stands for either. The Nitto's I was referencing were in my original post, the NT421Q.

Well it sounds like the Michelin's are the choice but I'd love to hear someone's opinion of the Nittos on our Explorers. Is there a TSB or anything referencing the Hankook 'accelerated wear'? Mine are definitely chewed up near the edges.

2016 Explorer Sport Replacement Tires With roughly 34,000 miles on our original Hankook tires they have about 1/8" of tread left I have begun looking for a replacement tires. I'm trying to find something quiet, rides good, good dry / wet performance since I'm in Florida. Has everyone been...

Is there anything different with 17N03 than what they were doing two months ago?

That noise sounds exactly like a removable aluminum jack handle being dropped on the ground lol.

Just drove a 2017 BMW X5 for 6 days on vacation. I have to say it rode amazing. Fit and finish was superb. Quiet. It felt slower than the Explorer Sport but I don't even know what engine it had or if there are even different engine options. I was pretty impressed with it. 20,000 miles on it...

For myself, I can replicate it as much as I want with a pass at WOT so that's not it. Not to mention AC is on re-circulatory.

Yes but both of those gases are coming from the same source and travel along the same route... So if you have a sulfur smell (from the cats) that means you have an entrance for all of the other gases which undoubtedly includes carbon monoxide.

I had the TSB done and it really didn't fix it.. Maybe it's slightly better but it still happens with re-circulatory on.

I just had mine fail at 29,000 miles.

Nope you have to use the MK1 Eye Ball. :P

Peter you have to push that go pedal a little harder to smell it. ;) :P I don't think the problem is life and death but it's probably not good for our health either by any means. We always roll the windows down after a WOT or even a heavy throttle run. I'm kind of mad at myself about it...

I'm going to wait to hear some real world reports. I can't imagine anything being off but you never know. Let us know how they work and let's see some pictures.

Well, it's not a cheap product by any means. However either is good paint work. I say that price is pretty normal if you're getting the full front end wrapped in a quality product like Xpel Ultimate, etc. California is going to be more expensive as well. I think I paid around $1000 - $1300...

To Daheim111, I would recommend removing them because they could damage your hood if they aren't designed right. Did you have to drill holes for the install? I agree completely.

Exactly. If they don't fit than they need to get the right set-up. It's not rocket science... Exactly what I do as well. I keep a lot of them around strictly for the garage and using to lift without any damage. If we can figure it out, why can't they? lol They just don't care is why, not...

Highly likely.

Interested to see how long they are going to be out of stock. Think I'll send them an email.

Another thing to consider is that the grill being painted could actually be viewed as a bad thing. I don't know how much highway driving you do but more paint to get chipped. I wrapped the front of my Sport with Xpel Ultimate but nothing on the grille unfortunately.

How many times are they going to change the foglights? Ford is getting a little silly about their updates in my opinion.
