OK, I'm getting to the end of my rope with this car. Got an orange wrench light the other morning when I started the car and trying to drive it ran terrible. Wasn't shifting right, big clunks stopping, etc. Took to a friend who owns a transmission shop and the code was for the throttle body. He...

I noticed the amber light on the passenger heated seat button is very dim so I was going to replace it but can't seem to find the part on any website. Any suggestions, thanks! On a side note, I have a kurtz kustomz (www.kustomz.com) intake for my 06 4.0L explorer that I am looking to sell for...

Ok, so suddenly today the average MPG on my message center is reading as an instant MPG and is going anywhere from 9 mpg to 49 mpg. If I am at a stop it just starts to go down and when I accelerate it jumps right up. No idea why or how to fix it. Anyone had this issue?

Anyone had issues with their harmonic balancer on an 06 and up? I have seen numerous threads for earlier years. I think I might have a bad one because I am getting a pretty good vibration through the car that is worse under acceleration (I can put it in drive and rev and feel the same vibration...

I have the new Nitto Crosstek tires on my factory 18" rims and as of now I can say they are the best tires I've had on any of my vehicles.

Has anyone had the pleasure of having one of the instrument panel lights go out? The right side of my instrument panel went dark. I checked every site I could think of as well as going to Autozone and Advance Auto and no one can tell me the bulb #. I called my dealer and they gave me some weird...

I am periodically getting a chirping sounds from the passenger vents. Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's not even there and sometimes it's just enough to annoy the piss out of me. It goes away when I turn everything off. I looked under the glove box and it looks like the whole blower motor...

Anyone know the size of the sway bar on an 06 so I can order some aftermarket bushings? I have found the Ford part numbers, but they don't say the size of the sway bar and all the aftermarket bushings are listed by millimeter. I know the easy answer is to measure it, but I don't have a...

Ok, lately i've been getting what i can only describe as a shudder from the rear when I stop. To be more specific, I'll come to a complete stop and then feel the shudder. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ok, so the light behind the temperature gauge went out tonight. Anyone out there had the pleasure of taking their instrument cluster apart yet? Im debating on just paying the dealer to do it, having the local car audio place do it, or just try and tackle it myself.

I just noticed for some reason that I have water in my drivers side fog light. Does anyone know how I go about removing the fog light assembly so I can hopefully try and dry it out??

Just got back from a raping at my local dealer. Thankfully I bought the extended warranty so it only cost me $600 out of pocket instead of the $1800 for the whole job. I was having issues shifting into reverse, the explorer would often hesitate and then there would be a huge thud as it finally...

Anyone encountered this gem of a problem? I dropped my ex off for service, mainly the ol' clunking transmission and next thing I know the service guy is calling asking if I've been over heating at all. I said no why. He said his mechanic just took my car out to check the transmission and had to...

Im looking to upgrade the factory speakers and the sub in my explorer. I know techincally I should install amps and everything and that might be later on down the road. I like the location of the factory sub because I tend to need to cargo space so hopefully I can keep the sub where it is and...

Ok, I'm hoping for some help. I really like a lot of the KMC XD series wheels, mainly the venom, badland, and monster. I have searched on line and some dealers say they will fit the explorer and some say they won't. I went to my local dealer who made some calls and said they won't and that I...

I was washing my explorer yesterday and when i was doing the wheels I noticed the fake chrome is starting to flake off on one wheel and on another wheel it's pitted. Not sure if pitted is the right term, but it's very dull and can't be brought back to it's original state. I searched around and I...

Im looking to get new pad and rotors for my explorer because I think the fronts might be warped. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thiniking of getting rotors from stillen. I don't need anything like Brembo's since I just sit in traffic all day, just looking for something a little better than...

Anyone with a v6 explorer use one of these? Im debating on this vs the performance programmer. Im hoping it will most of all improve the shifting. Also thinking about buying their mass air sensor.

You guys haven't let me down yet. I just noticed the passenger side of my front bumper has a gap right below the headlight and I can physically move the bumper up and down a bit on that side. I've looked under the car and I have no idea how the bumper attaches up there to even try and fix it. I...

Hey guys (and gals), I have 2 issues and was hoping for some advice. A), I just noticed a little moisture in my tail light and was curious if anyone else has had this problem and if it will most likely go away. I know the headlights are vented and seeing moisture in them can be normal...

I apologize of this is a repeat. I was searching lock pick devices for the pioneer factory nav head units and came across a way to unlock the factory units so you can change the colors, type in destinations while driving, and some other funky settings that I didn't want to mess with. I don't...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all now that I installed the Kurtz Kustom intake on my explorer the other day and it's awesome. I had an AEM on my f-250 and although I don't know what the difference between these 2 is on the dyno, I can tell you that the Kurtz is constructed a lot better. It's...

Ocassionally I get a noise from the passenger vents like something is being tossed around in the blower motor fan. Anyone know how to access the fan to check or have any other ideas? I noticed the glove box detaches and drops down and I'm guessing that is to provide easier access to the heater...

I have no issue getting heat or A/C so I don't think this is related to the other problem that has been mentioned before. When the air kicks on, could be heat or A/C, I get a noise that almost sounds like a leaf is caught inside somewhere. I'm sure a leaf is even possibly the culprit. Anyone...

Didn't find a post about this so I apologize if one already exists. Anyone know how, if it's even possible to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor that turns the lights on automatically? Mine is super sensitive and the lights go on the second I drive under the smallest underpass, a shady section...
