    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Did new rear Ac line, flexible one, while doing it, I removed the motor cover... Luckily it was isolation wool they used, but had a nasty nest under there! Photo 1 Photo 2 I'd suggest looking once a year if any critters want to share a ride under there, so they don't!

    A/C Rear Line Leak

    JBweld was not able to block it. Gas always managed to find a way thru. Tried pushing it back every 1/2 hours, as it became thicker. No luck. So ordered the rubber line. Was a little challenging to reach the connector behind the motor. Jacked the car to give me little more room under. Used all...

    A/C Rear Line Leak

    Well, was not the oring... Still leaking, sucks bu only cost 30$. I think it was worth to try. I JBweld it, just applied a second time as I saw it was trying to leak again. Not sure if it is a good option but there is nothing like trying! Not an easy spot to get clean and have to be careful to...

    31.5" tire on Explorer Sport?

    This guy installed 31.5 Also added a leveling kit, not sure if really required, never really saw my nose lower. At the end he seems to mention some rubbing, some trimming needed.

    JackStand Points

    If you only want few inches, 1 or 2 2x6 under the wheel could be great. That would not collapse. Make sure you are align. May want to invest in ramps, or rent?

    Rear bushing... 4 days too late

    They found a rear bushing had to be changed. (Was the title) Sorry, was clear in my head... They did not really refuse warranty service. It is a few days past it, ended September 29th and they are not willing to flex the rules for me.

    Rear bushing... 4 days too late

    Hi all, sorry if this ain't the place or the way, but I need to vent a little... My 2016 sport doesn't seem to be the best of its class... Thank god I took the extended warranty! Been a week or so, got a tiny little humming that started. First I thought it was the brakes or tires, but then I...

    Wheel bearings - very short lifespan.

    Reviving this old thread, since this is about my bearing... I had 2 bearings changed, one RR in 2019 and the other last year. Don't recall if they were the same wheel. Thankfully, they were covered, don't recall if it was the 5year powertrain or the ESP... Now I think the noise is back, another...

    Complete Trunk dimensions, 2016

    46 is the door, but it is 40" between wheel well. Was trying to build some kind of angular rack to put the sheet at angle as it could fit. But anyway, it would not be long enough. Gratefully, there is the roof.

    Complete Trunk dimensions, 2016

    Felt bad for our metric fellow. Hatch door opening: 101.6cm at the 'top', 66cm from bottom 116.8cm where it starts to get narrow, 38.1cm from bottom 118.1cm at the widest, 50cm from the bottom Little space behind raised 3rd row: 22.8cm deep by 35.5cm by 101.6cm wide 50.8cm seat width...

    Complete Trunk dimensions, 2016

    Hi all, been a while I passed by! Been a while I wanted to do this and today's the day! Pulled out my measuring tape and mapped my trunk. Hatch door opening: 40" at the 'top', 26" from bottom 46" where it starts to get narrow, 15" from bottom 46-1/2" at the widest, 2" from the bottom Little...

    A/C Rear Line Leak

    WOW, so they FINALLY got all the parts to fix mine, just took 3 months with all those BO. Anyway, dropped my car yesterday morning at the dealer, they called for a 1-day fix... At the end of the day, they gave an update: Your model is special/different than anticipated, it is a 3-day fix, need...

    Somethinking Leaking?

    Easy, this is a concrete driveway, do I win? Are they freshly made or you just realized after parking there "since you got the car"? If you look under the car, see any dripping point? Put cardboard, park the car over, mark where the tires are and let it sit until you see the spot. Then you...

    Disable front parking aids 2017 explorer

    You need to manually enable the button (turn off sensor) each time you start the engine. I sometimes have to do it when heavy snow and ice clog the sensor in slow-moving traffic. In case the image does not pass thru: it should be on the right of the hazard light, right under the screen, next to...

    Disabling 2nd row seat belt airbags

    Had the same problem: when I moved the seat, the airbag warning error got tripped. They fixed it under warranty1-2 times, but last time the tech told me it is a common issue and "that he heard that people" bypass the plug and hardwire the cable. He did. BTW, if I recall properly, airbag and...

    Disabling 2nd row seat belt airbags

    I know this thread is a little old, but I have the answer, I think. The seat has sensor that will prevent belt air bag from being triggered if the weight is not reach. Similar as passager front seat. Had the same question/concern. I had to go 2-3 times to the dealer to get the damn wiring/plug fix.

    2013 Rear AC not cold

    Not sure for your model, but in mine (2016) the refrigerant cycle thru the front and back unit, they are connected together. I know it because my rear hoses connection has a leak and I lost all of AC (A/C Rear Line Leak) Also, the dealer told me they are connected together. So I would not point...

    A/C Rear Line Leak

    Ya, was planning on calling another dealer and see what his call would be. And so the answer is kind of better-ish/confusing... Getting the r-134a would not be a problem for him. But here goes the madness: The other dealer told me he could not do the job as there would already be a diagnostic...

    A/C Rear Line Leak

    Adding mine to the list, found a green spot behind rear driver tire, on the ground Friday. The dealer looked at it today. Good news: under extended warranty Bad news only one hose available, 2 weeks for the other one. Worst news, he's unable to refill the unit, coolant is backorder... So nothing...

    Off-road capabilities of stock 2013 4WD XLT

    I'd totally do it! Looks rather ok, might need to "move/avoid" a few rock but by the vid on the link, look rather doable. Also, carrying a full size spare might be a good extra luggage to carry. And the view seems nice!
