maybe try unplugging the negative post on the battery for 30min to reset it...then go and drive it as you normally would. Then see what happens. The ford ecu has a mind of its own...LOL. also make sure you got all the air out of the cooling system, that could affect the idle and such as well

newbie here, is there a recommended interval to change timing chains?

thanks for the replys, sorry i wasnt clear robb, it is extension ladders.

I may be getting a job that would require me to carry a 20ft to 40ft ladder and I will need to fasten it to the explorer somehow. TIA
