    Turbo Blankets

    Worked with a gentleman (Levi Lish) that supports the DSM community to have these turbo blankets made for the Explorer/SHO/Ecoboost Flex turbos. He built these off of a handful of pictures and measurements and I couldn’t have asked for a better company/person to work with on this! The front...

    Solved Turbo/Downpipe Stud

    Hello, apologies if this has been answered and I missed it. Can anyone confirm the part number for the 3 studs that thread into the turbo and are used to mount the downpipes? I’m only finding this part for the manifold to head. By chance is it the same...

    Adaptive Cruise Control - Sounds like Semi/ABS Pulse

    Hi all, I found a thread about a “hum” which had no resolution. Today in our 13 Sport with 136k miles, while driving through town with cruise set at 30mph when slowing down for a vehicle that pulled out in front of us I heard what sounded like a pressure purge similar to what semi air brakes...

    Random Misfire 2 cylinders

    Hi guys and gals! Ford has had our 2013 Sport for a week and can’t solve a random misfire in 2 cylinders that is causing a rough idle. There is no CEL and when AC is running it goes away. They’ve ruled out plugs, coil packs, PCM. They’re looking at a possible vvt/timing problem. Or “base...

    Oil on charge pipe?

    Hi all my 2013 explorer has ~130k miles on it now and I don’t have any signs of a leak in the garage but I got under it to do an oil change today and there is oil on the outside of the front turbo charge pipe. The outside of the inlet was caked with dirt where presumably the leak is prevented...

    Apple CarPlay with MFT Sync2 - anyone Tried this?

    Hi everyone, I bought a sync 3 system for Apple CarPlay integration and my wife hated the sync 3 UI. So I’ve sold the unit and in my search for another solution to run CarPlay I found this. https://soso.co.nz/product/ford-sync2-apple-carplay-android-auto-integration-kit/ I’m sure it’s a hacked...

    5th gen Sport to 6th gen ST?

    Hi, I hope this is the right place to post. We’ve had our 2013 sport since 2015 and we tuned it about 6mos after buying it and left it relatively unchanged. I test drove an ST this weekend and my wife and I both had mixed emotions. The initial bite of the brakes is great and would take some...

    “Surge” after cold start?

    Good Morning, My 13 Explorer Sport just hit 100k yesterday. I did an oil change and rotated the tires with a quick visual inspection of the under carriage/suspension components while it was on the lift and everything looks to be good shape. Took a test drive and all seemed right. I parked the...

    Explorer Sport Brake Caliper Rebuild/Replace?

    Hello everyone, My dust boots are all shot, I've never seen this happen before but literally every boot is torn. Clearly there is/was something wrong however the car has stopped flawlessly till we just got to the end of our pads service life. I thought I was just replacing pads but found this...
