It could be my driving habits. I got over 50,000 miles on each of the first two sets, original and 1st replacement both were Motorcraft. Unfortunately the third set was not Motorcraft and failed after the one year warranty. Motorcraft changed their warranty in 2013. It now reads: New Service...

Previously i posted a comment about about how i solved a misfire on cylinder 6 by having my fuel filter changed on my 2007 XLT 4.0 engine. It happened again, now i have multiple codes indicating random misfire cylinders 4,5,6. My health has improved so I'm back to do doing my own work. I will...

Tire pressure sensor fault Actually it will cost $75.00 for the sensor, $35.00 for the strap and bracket, plus labor. Removing it will not clear the message. The message is generated when the sensor fails, breaks, or is missing.The biggest problem is since they became mandatory people depend on...

Thermostat housing replacement info As mentioned do not over-tighten the bolts. The water outlet bolts torque is 10Nm (89 inch pounds. The lower housing bolts (longer bolts) torque is 11Nm (97 inch pounds). There are 12 inch lbs in a foot lb, so be careful that's only 7.416 foot lbs and 8.08...

Coolant leak I agree. Lower intake gasket most likely. Read my post titled "Hard to trace coolant leak".

Car was running rough after short warm up, scan indicated misfire cylinder 6. Changed wires and plugs, car ran great. Two months later same problem,same cylinder. Changed cylinder 6 plug again, car ran great again. A few weeks later started running rough again. Scan indicated misfire cylinder 6...

Front wheel bearing noise is common problem, particularly because they are a sealed unit inside the hub, and they cannot be serviced. The hub assembly must be replaced. Unfortunately replacements often fail prematurely because the half shaft (axle) nut isn't replaced and tightened to the correct...

REVERSING THE 5 AND 6 WIRE IS A COMMON MISTAKE AND SELDOM CAUSES A PROBLEM. YOU DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE MIL COMING ON, SO I GUESS IT DIDN'T. TRY SCANNING IT WITH A SCANNER THAT REPORTS PENDING CODES. When you view codes, the Tool displays both Diagnostic Trouble codes and Pending...

Fuel injectors When I did the lower intake gasket on my older explorer (1995), I replaced a bunch of stuff while I had it disassembled, I didn't replace the injectors, instead I sent them out and had them tested, cleaned, and calibrated. Only one of the six need replacement and the other ones...

4X4 Auto The 4X4 auto feature on the Control Trac 4wd system is a great feature, the problem is you cant turn it off and it seems like its always engaged. I took my 07 to the dealer and he claimed it was hanging up and he would replace the transfer case, however when i picked the car 3 days...

Wheel Bearings 2007 Explorer I had my front hub/wheel bearings replaced at 52,000 on my 07 XLT. The noise actually started well before that, but got louder over time. The noise was constant regardless of road surface. After replacing the noise was gone and when driving from concrete road to...

Hub wheel bearing noise/vibration Wheel bearing noise can be difficult to confirm.I had no play, the noise was constant and only got louder over time. First noticed noise at about 45,000 miles, sounded like a tire noise.I finally had bearings replaced at 52,000. Quiet now. I noticed immediately...

Do a search for Ford parts online. I just saw a dealer in Texas that sells the 1500.00 version for 1100.00 and change.

If you can get the aftermarket part, and midas says it will fit, go for it. Make sure you can return it if the guy from midas decides later that it wont work. I don't know where the o2 sensors are on the v8. The last thing you want to do is buy both, one for the car and one to hang over your mantel

Rusty '07 I bought an '07 XLT this past june and about a week ago I noticed it was suddenly bouncing around while driving. I found a leaking rear shock. I also noticed a lot of rust under the rear of the car. I figured ford is still making them the same way as they always have. I have a '95 as...

The one piece is the only way to go. My 1995 4.0 had 8 bolts attaching the the lower intake manifold. Most manuals indicate a combination of bolts and studs with nuts. The studs are in the engine block and are used to align the gasket and the manifold. I made studs from threaded stock with the...
