Sold the truck years ago. I lived in a very small apartment at the time against my lease to work on automobiles at it. I did do the oil and such but I'm small I crawled under there and did it without a jack. Everyones circumstances are different. But yeah I wouldn't buy from them their customer...

I've done this before when installing some tricky audio systems

So this is the second 2nd gen explorer I've had that I've had this issue with the same 06 codes and same rough idle. TID 10 CID 21 and TID 41 and CID 12. My google fu ins't the best. The dpfe sensor melted replaced that, EGR didn't seem to be working but a new EGR on it. I've used a smoke...

I used to have a Suzuki Samurai that made that same sound when the oversized tires rubbed on the homemade fender flares.

Got it on sale for 15 bucks or so wanted to compare it to the Castrol GTX I usually use. So far it seems to be running a little smoother...

I always do 5 quarts. This time around I tried the Amazon brand high mileage synthetic with Motorcraft filter.

You can always spray wd 40 in there and see if it helps (Don't actually do this)

Yeah, when I had my mounty I replaced the radio with an in-dash GPS radio unit. So I know the basics and I have to tear my dash apart to replace the odometer and parking shift cable. Was trying to get all the parts at once so I can do it in one go. I guess I will just wait till I have it all...

I have a 2000 explorer xls with the single cd. It works but no longer displays. I was looking to just grab an OEM one with a cassette player (since you can use those cassette AUX tapes) I like the look of stock and want to just plug and play but I have no idea if it is the Mach system or the...

Ignore that I didn't realize I was in the 3rd gen part of the forum.

I did a video on this a while back, not the best quality but should give an idea. Take off the passenger seat in the rear and it is right there
