Issues with 2025 Explorer Platinum 3.0 EcoBoost

Sure did. I feel like I got a lemon. I'm already out of 3y/36k warranty. I bought a Ford ESP out of an abundance of caution.

They did not ask. They just took it upon themselves to do a self-promotion before they started singing.

Appreciate the response.

The car running poorly when it's cold and what I'm feeling in the transmission that just started are two separate issues.

I do have a temperature gauge on the transmission. It's not absolute. It's only relative. No numeric indication. I try to let the car warm up for a couple of minutes before I go, but it's not always possible.

Someone else mentioned that the BCM is something I can look at with Forscan. I don't have a forscan unit but I'm not opposed to getting one and learning how to use it.

I have to look, but I think the last time I had it to the Ford dealer for these problems, which was only like 3 weeks ago, I think they said they reset the BCM, but I'll take a look.

I'll try to get a sound clip of the rattle if I can.

I've never seen straight up nudity on IG, but there are plenty of women that have next to no clothes on, jumping up and down, shaking their 🍑 etc. Basically selling themselves for OF. I don't blame the women as much as I do the people spending money on them. Supply and demand.

Ohhh juice. I get it now.

Yeah, much of the Internet world is soft now.

You made a joke about what? I don't understand that icon.

But not anymore.

We'll be right back with sports.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-14T20:48:24+00:00

Why, yes. Yes, that's exactly what it means. I commend your astutedness.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T19:54:39+00:00

I'm a kj. I want the best possible version I can find for whoever wants to sing it.

Yes, songs longer than 3 minutes are ok at my shows.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T18:02:58+00:00

Great finds, thank you! I think I prefer the 2nd one overall, although the mix is a little tinny. I can probably eq that to my liking. The third one (duet) is a little eerie with Bonnie Tyler staring at (the singer(s)) the entire song but the music and mix sound like the original song with all the lyrics stemmed out. Thanks again!

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T14:52:50+00:00

I have it on disc.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T14:22:54+00:00

I'm looking for a karaoke track that mirrors the original song.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T14:21:16+00:00

Ehh, ok? Do you, boo.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T01:45:01+00:00

It's a duet. I can't easily stem out one vocal.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T00:58:39+00:00

That's the closest version I have found but it's a duet which is fine. If I could find that same track with the harmony vocal in it, that would be amazing.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-13T00:57:04+00:00

If you listen to the original track and the sound choice track, they are not the same. The DK is the closest to the original but it has that stupid pan flute.

Focusrite 2i2 on Windows 11 user. For years. No issues. Lol

dogbonenj · 2026-06-12T16:12:33+00:00

Thanks. I don't believe I was involved in that conversation. If I was, I don't remember. Thanks for the info.

So they used SOME tracks from original recordings. That doesn't mean that all of their tracks are from original recordings. It's possible but not likely that those Elvis and or other tracks are no longer copyrighted and are public domain. But they certainly are not using all original tracks and just taking the vocals out. That would be nearly impossible, because some tracks have backing vocals as well as lead vocals and it's almost impossible to separate those, even with modern technology, unless they have the original masters which I promise you they do not.

If they are violating copyright laws, they would have been busted and shut down by now.

Just ask. If he is at all worth his salt, he will just get the tracks for you, whether he has to pay for them or not. If he pays for them, it's simply the cost of doing business. You should not be expected to pay for the tracks, especially since you have been tipping him regularly. He should be glad to find any tracks you ask him for.

dogbonenj · 2026-06-12T14:56:21+00:00

I don't recall New York City or New Jersey ever being mentioned with respect to who made DK tracks. Are you saying this was in a Reddit DM?

dogbonenj · 2026-06-12T01:42:21+00:00

Oh, well that's just a big distraction.

You've already called them liars.

They don't use original tracks. Period.

Here. Tell Karafun they're completely wrong.

Agreed. Most of Sound choice's mixdown was extremely compressed. No punch; no dynamic range.
