Has anyone with a `22 Explorer ST received the recall 22S27, rear axle bolt fracture?
Ford claims the bolt can fracture during acceleration allowing the rear axle housing to move out of position.
One guy at the dealer thought they may de-tune it to provide less ramp-up under boost.
Any info...
J, you will love this car. It's civility and insanity all rolled into one.
And don't forget the Track Attack in Charlotte. It is an experience of a
lifetime...while beating the piss out of their car. (and the ride-along with the instructor on the roval is a must) The folks at the school treat...
If you're in auto mode, just pull in the downshift paddle and hold it. Once you're in WOT, release the paddle and the car will do the rest.
It'll automatically select the optimum gear you need to be in for max acceleration.
(remember, if your in manual mode, the car will never upshift on its...
200 MPH, stock? When, where and by whom? ( Ford claimed 202mph)
0-60 in 3.5 sec. with a stock `13-`14? Very difficult to achieve, especially with the stock Goodyear F1 tires. (the GYs just plain suck and you'll put a lot of wear and tear on you're clutch trying)
3.5 with a 2020? Piece of cake...
Don't get me wrong, I loved my `13 and I miss the glass roof. It's a fun car and I enjoyed every mile. If you feel the `13-`14 gt500 is the ultimate Mustang, thats great and I'm not knocking your love and passion for the S197.
If you find fault with the s550, DCT or whatever, I will remind you...
He'll have as much into this car to make it road worthy than what a used CFTP would cost him. And he still will be stuck with a salvage title.
It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
You've got a great sense of humor J.
I haven't forgotten about your offer and I hope to take you up on that one day.
If we ever get past this pandemic, I'll be up to Progressive field quite a bit this year.

Requesting a custom color on a FordGT and it will set you back $30K
I read that one costumer ordered a GT with the Mystic paint, with a guarantee not to paint another that color and it was close to $100K.
Hard to believe that bad boy has got 1100hp. Very unassuming and one would never expect pulling up along side with the stock tailpipes poking out. I bet it has a nasty rumble though.
Looks great J
Happy New Year buddy
