    Bad hub assembly? Bad luck? or... what else???

    Since I bought the vehicle (Nov 2017), I had the original wheels and tires until spring 2018. Then I bought 20" rims and summer tires. And now have new snow tires back on the original rims. All mounted and balanced properly. I dont think the original rims actually made it back to the same...

    Problem in 4x4

    Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like in 99% of the situations I am in, leaving it on the 4x4 Auto default is suffice. One thing, is the 4x4 Auto truly the 'default'? I have no light or way of knowing it is activated. When I hit the 4x4 HIGH or LOW, the indicators come on in the dash.

    Problem in 4x4

    Thanks for the replies. Perhaps I was not sure of when I should be engaging the 4x4. Rookie mistake it sounds like. Yes, I was on pavement. but only briefly. We are expecting snow finally here in Vancouver, BC, so I wanted to kind of prep the system so-to-speak. Sounds like a bad idea??? I'll...

    Problem in 4x4

    Hey guys, been while... My 06 Explorer Eddie Bauer seems to make a not-to-healthy sounding clunk type noise when switched (button pushed) into 4x4 mode while turning. Like something is binding up and releasing. Seems to be ok going straight. Are you meant to only gonstraight in 4x4??? Lol...

    Coil packs - Straight or curved for 2006 4.6L V8 3V?

    As the title states... I was pretty sure that when the mechanic pulled out the #8 pack (wet), that it had a curve to it. But I'm seeing online that it is supposed to be straight for this year (2006). Perhaps the wrong ones were installed (2002-2005). Please confirm, thanks!
