    Explorer without O2 Sensor

    best guess someone modified the vehicle. ford never made a lpg explorer. so who ever installed the lpg system modified the explorer and most likely took the o2 and cat system out.

    2008 LTD 4.6L Gas/fuel smell in cab when stopped

    you are leaking fuel if you smell it inside. i would find the leak, and not drive it till i do, its a fire risk, waiting to happen. just needs a spark or static discharge to ignite it.

    Another issue with my '08 Sport Trac...

    my pet peeve with tpms were tire shops, that just break the sensors, and throw them into a tire or don't replace what they broke.

    Will this jack hold my truck for a tire rotation?

    you could just lower the spare, and put it on the tire you removing then rotate them each corner till you come back to the start and put the running tire and spare back. but like i said, jacks can let go, they really are used to lift the vehicle not work on it.

    Ford is manufacturing the C-Max hybrid in their Michigan assembly plant.

    i still think auto mfg work better with one another then software/pc and all IP based copyright lawsuits. google/microsoft/apple come to mind. with patent trolls that also follow.

    04 explorer awful grinding sound+ 4x4 high blinking.help

    you have an 04, do you have rsc / advance track? some 04 have rear axle tone rings which break cause 4x4 to turn on. else. i would say you have a bad speed sensor. if you use a cheap knock off hub that could also be the issues.

    Will this jack hold my truck for a tire rotation?

    invest in jack stands.... a jack is to lift a vehicle, not work on it when its in the air.

    Kill switch ideas

    think your mistaken. what you are thinking of lock out took thats not a slim jim. slim jim's are used between the glass and door to open a rod to unlock it. honestly, its an ex, its about 3 seconds to use a slim jim and open it. killing the power to the door locks wont even matter. with...

    Passenger seat rattle? :(

    the ocs track covers rattle.. remove the torx bolts, between seat bottom to base, remove the plastic covers, put felt on the inside, reassemble, noise will be gone.

    Kill switch ideas

    dont think you understand that doors use mechanical rods to work, this is what a slim jim operates. imo if they want it they will just tow it away. or push it, or pull it, you get the idea. 01 is a pats vehicle, it already has a kill switch less you have a remote start, or a key in the vehicle.
