You're welcome! It's my site :) Mike

You can replace just the front/face plate section using the same rear (electronics). See here for help: http://www.aviationwire.net/explorer/gauges.html Mike

Welcome Back Glacier! Hope you went somewhere fun! No rush but inbetween your 300 PMs if you could take a peek at this thread (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164055) and give your thoughts I'd be very grateful. Mike

Was searching for more info on the 5R55W and came across this .pdf. Some nice detail pics and info. Still looking for more advice on what to do...is Glacier991 still around? Mike

Borland, thanks for the reply. I'll look into those suggestions. If anyone else has suggestions/advice I'd love to hear it. Mike

Great photos, thanks! I actually just got back from my friends place where we did the same. But the replacement didn't help, my tranny is still having shift problems between 2nd-3rd. Maybe someone here can help/give advice. Here's the deal (sorry if this sorta hijacks the thread a bit but I...

I'll 2nd the Sway Bar Bushings. Had mine replaced a year ago when it was making the same noise over bumps. Haven't heard any noises since. Mike

If you haven't already (I know it's an old post) but try the DPFE... http://www.aviationwire.net/explorer/dpfe.html Mike

It's for the V6 but should help anyway... http://www.aviationwire.net/explorer/oilchange.html Mike

This should help... http://www.aviationwire.net/explorer/keypadcode.html Mike

You can try the DPFE.... http://www.aviationwire.net/explorer/dpfe.html Mike

In my '02 EB, you have to stick your head under there (drivers side foot well) to see it but it's there. Mike

I go to Able Ford in the Oceanside area. It's actually in Nassau and not Queens but it's easy for me to get to and I prefer driving around Long Island than Queens (better roads). Mike

It's located under the front passenger side, behind 2 shields, a metal (alum) one and then a black plastic piece. You will need a special tool to remove one of the fuel lines (the single side one). I first tried to remove that line with the little plastic tools they sell but I had a tough time...

Great news Ken! Glad everything is fixed-up and best of all no $$ came out of your pocket. Well, except for the Actron but I think that's a great investment. Will try to get my X in for that recall soon.... Mike

I paid $150 for a brand new (opened box) K&N FIPK2 for my 4.0/V6 and it was one of the best $150 I've spent. The quality is excellent and I'm really happy with it. Sure there are lower priced units which work as well and you can even do a DIY but I couldn't pass up the great deal (got it on...

Staten Island is a hop, skip and a jump for me :) Let us know how it goes with Ford. Did you do the rear liftgate recall fix yet? If not, you might as well schedule that at the same time. I've gotta give my dealer a call this week to get it fixed. Mike

Never seen the code P01400. Might be internal Ford used code. Based on the the decode, I'm gonna say it's probably the DPFE which is very common. Since you're under warranty have them fix it for free. For those out of warranty, they extended the warranty 2 years/24,000 miles on the DPFE...

The Actron OBDII should be fine. I've gotta get myself one also. Give us an update when you pull the code. Mike

Yeah, too lazy. They can read it as long as they have an OBDII code reader which I'm sure they do. Find another Autozone or go back when better staff is on duty. Or, drive out to Rockaway Beach (Queens) and I'll have my friend pull the code for you on his scanner like he did mine :) Mike

The Sport Trac's do not have the SES lights. They have: CHECK ENGINE, CHECK FUEL CAP, CHECK GAGE. I was referring to 02+ 4dr's. Mike

Yes, you heard wrong. There is no Check Engine Light, AFAIK. It's the Service Engine Soon on the 3rd gens. There is also a Check Gauge and Check Fuel Cap I believe. From my understanding, if the SES just lights up it's not a serious problem but if you get a blinking SES then it could affect...

As stated, pull the code with an OBDII reader/scanner. If you get back P0401 it probably is the DPFE Sensor. Ford extended the warranty on it for another 2 years or 24,000 miles. Email me and I'll send you a copy of the letter. See if the dealer will cover the cost of the part. Here's a...

Thanks for posting the pics. The X looks nice. Are the hood scoops (vents) functional? Mike
