I don't have ForScan, so I can't say for sure they can be disable. In theory, even if you turn off all the nanny stuff, I would think this would also disable the RDU unit which would make the car essentially a FWD car.

To answer 2b, the AWD system is FWD based. It will act as a FWD vehicle till a situation occurs that require more or less traction and the rear differential will engage. It will also use brake torque vectoring to help in certain instances. Frankly, I think a FWD/AWD setup is more about fuel savings ...

Prices were going to creep up when there are videos on Youtube cropping up touting the FPIS/FPIU are one of the best dollar to performance buy.

As mentioned above, regarding the vent tube modification, you can run a search on the ford explorer forums regarding that mod. Also, there is a couple of youtubers showing the process. I bought a 5/15" connector with a clear 5/16" tube to help the with the refilling process. When you begin pushing t...

If you only replaced one of the catalytic converter, chances are the other one is bad. There are two total. Normally when I replaced the catalytic converters I replace the up and downstream O2 sensors. For the FPIS, the upstream O2's are the same length. However, the downstream ones are different le...

Ford Police Interceptor Sedan (or "Utility" for the Explorer). If you run their VIN numbers it will also state that it is a: Ford Police Interceptor <insert what it is here>. Underneath of the name is a Taurus/Explorer given options and parts that can be also found in other Ford models. Yes, some pa...

Yes, especially the rear is noticeable.

Given that the PI uses "wet" clutches, how would one change out the fluid in that RDU? I have a feeling that it's sealed and no way to access that section of the RDU. I'm thinking that after a certain period time, an owner needs to change out the entire since the clutches will wear out eventually?
