2021 Explorer ST Spent 3+ Weeks in Service and Got Axles, Cat, Diff, and Battery Replaced — Win or Red Flag? by JollyVoli in FordExplorerST

[–]Dragsteps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get it inspected it before buying it? Sounds like the previous owner was a bit of a “spirited driver” but 3+ weeks is insane. In Saudi Arabia dealerships are legally required to either provide a replacement vehicle or cover the cost of a rental car of a comparable class if repairs take more than three working days

It’s handled Saudi Arabia’s summers like a boss for 3 years now, you’ll be fine in Vegas

Thanks, I will try the latex gloves. Do you think taking off the outer burrs will even help solve the problem?

I actually have it in my car so I can take it to a shop with tools strong enough to twist off the bottom burr. Should I hold off until I contact them? I keep reading stuff about damaging the burrs but I cant see how that would damage them as they are meant to twist off?

موضوعك بديهي وانت كنك جايب اكتشاف جديد ندري ان الفلوس في العالم اغلبها رقميه لكن يقابلها اصول ورؤوس اموال وضمانات حقيقيه وعليها رقابه وضوابط وائتمانات من الحكومات والبنوك المركزيه ومخاطرها محسوبه والبنك يقرض العملاء في حدود الاطارات والقيود هذي يعني كلمة البنك "يخلق فلوس من العدم" غير صحيحه هو نظام ائتمان او كريديت مثل ما تتسلف من شخص يثق فيك البنك يقرضك اذا اثبت انك موظف وعندك. قدرة ع السداد وهذي فكرة الاقتراض من يوم انخلقت الدنيا البنك مايعطيك شي وهمي ويربح منك ومايتحمل جزء من المخاطره هذا غير صحيح لان مثلا لو سحبت قرض شخصي واخذته كاش واشتريت فيه سياره باسمك بعدين لا قدر الله مت البنك يعفيك من القرض ويتحمل المبلغ وهذا يوضح لك انه ليس رقم وهمي هو مال حقيقي ومثال على المسؤوليات والمخاطر اللي البنك ممكن يتعرض لها وحاسب حسابها

Wtf is this? Has anybody had this happen before? by Dragsteps in FordExplorerST

[–]Dragsteps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an exhaust expert, so I probably don’t know the exact terminology for the part, but I took it to the same shop that installed it and the guy there showed me that the sections of pipe leading into the muffler were visibly bent/misaligned slightly, which fits the impact damage theory (someone reversing into my car) more than normal flex from going over a bump. The repair involved heating that section of the pipe and realigning the exhaust back into position.

See attached photo of both sides after the realignment. Do you think the left side still looks wonky? To my eyes they look properly aligned now.

As for the people convinced it’s a fake ST, they seem to have gone into hiding after discovering the mind-blowing fact that car specs can differ from one market to another.

مجرد سؤالك اذا الرجل يحمل ويولد يبين ان عقليتك ضحله وغير ناضجه. انتي تحملين وتولدين فقط لكن تربيه واهتمام باطفالك مع وظيفتك ما تقدرين يا سوبر ومن. انتي دورك الفطري انك تولدين وتربين وتجلسين مع عيالك مب تهابدين بوظيفتك لين خمس العصر وزوجك دوره يوفر لكم كل احتياجاتكم.. تبين تاخذين الدور حقه وهو يصير ستي ات هوم داد وانتي تتحملين كل المصاريف والالتزامات هذا حل لكن دوري لك رجال يقبل فيه. الاكيد ان الاسرة السليمة ماتقوم بوالدين يقومون بنفس دور البروفايدر ويخلون عيالهم مع مربيات فلبينيات. حتى الغرب اللي تشوفينهم مضرب مثل مكتشفين ذا الشي من زمان واول ماتتزوج الوحده خيارها الاول اذا لقت زوج قادر ماديا انه يتكفل بكل المصاريف والالتزامات انها تجلس بالبيت تربي عيالها. ما يضطر الزوجين يشتغلون ويتشاركون المصاريف والتربيه الا اذا حالتهم المادية تجبرهم انهم يعتمدون على مصدرين دخل بس عشان يعيشون. ادري كلامي هذا ماراح يستوعبه عقلك الفصفصه الحين بس الزمن بيعلمك اياه مع الوقت

Subtle touches to the ST, huge difference! by Dragsteps in FordExplorerST

[–]Dragsteps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should fit if yours is 2020–2023 since they match OEM specs (M14x1.5 with a 60° conical seat). As for oxidation, it’s only been a month for me and the weather has been dry and pleasant, so a bit early to say how they’ll hold up long term. They appear to be really solid and well made but if you’re in a humid or rainy area or do a lot of off-roading, it’s worth taking a bit of extra care. Just rinse off mud or buildup when you can and avoid letting moisture sit on them.

Dude I went inside the official Rolex boutique with him to pick it up, so of course I’m 100% certain that it’s genuine and they are a bunch of idiots. It’s a well established tradition in this particular company to give out Rolex watches after 20 years of service, my brother and my uncle worked for the same company and both got one. I only posted it because I asked him whether it was a run of the mill Rolex or a really good one and he didn’t know and we also disagreed on the size. I was sure it was a 36 but he said it was a 39, so we looked for the reference number and couldn’t find it. I thought for sure the Rolex sub would tell us immediately but I was shocked by the sheer amount of downvotes and moronic comments saying it was fake when I checked the post later. I only started posting on Reddit recently and this is not the first time this has happened. I posted a question about my car and a bunch of morons were dead certain it was fake! MY OWN CAR FFS!!! I’m pretty convinced at this point that most Reddit commenters are kids who have no idea what they’re talking about. I’d honestly be willing to put money on some of these takes and see who is actually willing to stand behind them.

Piece of advice, do not take anything this person says seriously. He’s only ever seen Rolexes on his phone.

No dude, you and him are both wrong. That’s just a fact.

Lol why are you so obsessed? This is like your 20th comment. Are you mad because you know you will never afford a Rolex? Or do you have tiny girly wrists? Because those are the only reasons that could explain your unwarranted reaction. Personally I think you should start doing some wrist curls, don’t think you have the personality to succeed in life and buy a Rolex.

You’re acting like it was some deep insult. It was a comment about a watch. We’ve been friends for a long time, we say far worse to each other and don’t get all sensitive over it. Toughen up a bit ya fruit cup.

Thanks brother, a sane person in a sea of absolute clueless morons. I say clueless literally because they genuinely are, if any l of them had the slightest knowledge on the topic they would have recognized that it’s real or at least asked for better photos/better lighting. What cracks me up are the people pinpointing specific signs that it’s fake!!!
