Has anyone found/used the OEM 7-pin connector instead? I'm trying to find a part number with zero luck.
You need the DB5T-14N139-DB

Thank you. I tried looking this part number up on fordparts but I only get an eBay listing. I wonder if they changed the part number.
ok i read through this entire thread and my head is spinning lol i have a question, i want to add a class 3 hitch and the tow button to my explorer xlt non tow package, i will only be towing light, maybe up to 3500lbs. will the tow button work? is it ok to tow tat much with a aftermarket hitch installed by uhaul?
Thanks guys
Did you notice anything with the tow button?
can you tell us more on how was the oil cooler installed?
It was an easy install. I installed the oil cooler on the radiator, or atleast I think it's the radiator or something for the AC. Anyways, installed the cooler on the front of the car and the adapter went between the oil filter and the engine case. That is where the oil is routed to the cooler. It was super easy and I just followed the instructions.

Not that the Explorer can't handle it as you clearly experienced it can but I wanted to make it clear that although you added the parts, the Explorer is not legally rated to tow above the 2,000lbs. The manufacturer is the one that certifies it and being without the factory package, it does not increase the legal limit no matter what you do.
It is no different then me buying a F250 and installing the F350 blocks and additional leaf spring (only difference between the F250 and F350). The manufacturer certification is what the vehicle can handle no matter what you modify.
Care to share the oil cooler model/part#?
Your right. But honestly, I don't care about the legality of it and I was prepared to buy a new transmission if it did break. That was my main concern, the transmission, because of the chatter on this thread with the different part numbers; not the legality of it. But to a lot of other people, legality does matter.
Nevermind figured it all out. Complete job took me about 3 hours.
