    How to shut OFF Traction Control completely?

    I see this thread has been stagnant for a while, so I wanted to share what I've experienced 2019 XLT FX4 I have the HP Tuner - 5 Star Tuner If I do not disable traction control and get on the throttle too much, not only will the traction control kick in and make it dangerous, it throws a...

    SPD Downpipe

    I'm in FL, so we don't have any emissions tests. But yes on the website it is labeled off road use only. I have heard some people keep their old pipes to put back on though.

    SPD Downpipe

    Ok here you go! This was a cooler day for Florida, I will get some more when things warm up. I also got some video of the readings I will post to my IG account. It was rare for the IAT2 to go above 100, only while sitting still.

    SPD Downpipe

    Definitely! I did a remote start this morning and it has definitely increased in volume over the last week or so, I don't think it's a leak, but I want to get down there and check to make sure!

    SPD Downpipe

    So I ended up getting it into a local mechanic that was recommended to me. It ended up costing about $300 with tax etc. They told me that it would be about a 2-hour job, then added 30 min to let the exhaust cool before getting started. All said and done I was hanging around the shop for about...

    SPD Downpipe

    Well, I purchased the SPD Catted Downpipe from 5 Star Tuning a couple weeks ago and finally got a chance to attempt the install today. Pulled the cover off and everything looked pretty straight forward, other than trying to get the whole piece out by myself. Over an hour later and still...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I'm not sure on the Platinum, on my XLT FX4, I did have to remove the screws and peal back the fender liner to get in there, but then it's just kind of a blind twist to release the bulb housing, then unplug the bulb, you don't have to remove the whole light assembly on mine.

    10 Speed Transmission - Opinions

    I've been very happy with it. In my 5 Star Tuned application, it shifts very well, other than at full throttle, I'm working on getting that figured out. If I ease my foot into it, it will snap your neck back through all the shifts and just plain fly, but if I put my foot to the floor right off...

    Touch control on 3 doors not working

    Yes, I had this happen to me recently, however after putting it on a trickle charger, all the doors starting working again, but then the next 2 times I drove it I received a charging error, that popped up while I was driving. I retuned with the stock file, thinking I was going to have to take...

    Key Fob Programming? DIY or Dealership?

    We own an ACE Hardware store and I cut and program these all day long, for much less than the dealer. So if you don't have both fobs, check your local ACE to get it done. You can look your vehicle up here: https://ace.mykeycounter.com/ and it will show you the pricing for it. They still...

    Lift gate

    Yes, that's what I've found with mine. Is there a permanent fix or warranty fix that anyone knows of?

    Removing Front air dam?

    I am a big guy, I removed mine while I had it up on ramps, made it easy to see what was going on. I removed it at the same time as I swapped the intercooler out with the CVF Titan Intercooler. I put all the screws back in, just in case I didn't like the look and wanted to reinstall, but it...
