    Belt Tensioner Assembly

    My wife’s explorer started having the rattle from the tensioner. I replaced it along with a new belt a few months ago and the noise went away. Now less then 10k miles it’s doing it again. Any ideas what’s causing this?

    Time for tires

    After 2 years and over 20K miles, I would recommend these tires to anyone. Im so glad 182RG was wrong about the tire, ofcourse he did have factory non plus with the old tread on a different suv.

    Debut of 2016 Explorer

    I'm anxious to see it in person. I'm not impressed by the pictures. I like most of the changes but the front end is a huge step back. I like the interior updates but not the center stack, I like the look of the glossy black vs matte.
