issues

Hello, let me start off by introducing myself. I’m new to the forum and I recently purchased a 2021 Explorer in Infinite Blue. I’ve owned a couple of Fords in my lifetime such as 2 1st gen Focuses that were extremely reliable and great cars and eventually owned a 2018 F150 that had nothing but...

Hello all, new to the community. As a former mechanic I just want to say how much of a pain in the rear this install has been, took awhile but finally got it but now I am noticing a lot of issues. My strut/coil is rubbing against my spindle on the driver side and I am getting all kinds of abs...

I am looking to buy a 2017 Explorer XLT AWD with the 3.5l 58k miles, is there anything I need to worry about besides the water pump expenses? How can I tell if a water pump is going bad or is it something that just happens? What is the average lifetime of the water pumps before they leak or...

Just snagged one rust free here in the rust belt. It's a beauty. Had some questions: 1. Carcomplaints.com lists the 09 and 10 as great years for the explorer. Does the 2010 V6 model still suffer the transmission issues? 2. Does the 2010 have the same radiator leak issues? 3. Any other...

One day while going down the road, my 94 ford explorer 4.0 died. It started right up again, and ran fine for a while until sputtering and choking out at speed. Now you can't go any faster than a creep, otherwise it bogs down and even with full throttle it doesn't do much. I replaced the coil...

Hi there. The other day i was driving to work and my entire instrument panel blacked out for roughly two seconds, and rebooted - burying the tach/speedo etc before finding the correct speed and revs. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it was minus 28C at the time. The next day...

I have recently experienced some issues With the Auto-mode on my Explorer. I live in Norway and the roads are some times really slippery and full of ice. When my rear Wheels start to sleep i hear some bad noices in the front, and I notice that the front Wheels does not engage as they should...

Well.. Today, I hooked the oil lines to and from my turbo. I ran the feed line off the oil pressure switch, which I teed off. I also, ran my oil return line and activated my pump which sends the oil back into the oil filler neck. Well.. I started my car up, went and checked my rear mount...

Hey everyone, I have an issue with my 4.0/Auto 94' Ford Explorer. When I was driving the car up the cahon pass, I heard 3 pops from underneath the transmission, after that smoked started coming from the back and about 2 quarts of transmission fluid started pouring out. I'm wondering what the...

I need to decide what to do with my engine situation. I am trying to be logical about it and find the best option for the money so i need advice and opinions. OK, my 4.0 needs new head gaskets (cause of an oil leak), valves, harmonic balancer, exhaust headers, exhaust manifold gaskets (it has an...

So, I just picked up my new XLT 202A four days ago and I have run into two problems, one with the speakers and one with the rear windows. Just wanted to know if anyone was experiencing a weird helicopter-like noise when they roll down the rear windows. On mine it is just when I roll down the...

Hello there! I just bought a nice explorer yesterday with the lady, we are pretty happy with the car. For the most everything was rebuilt/fixed on the truck, only minor issues from what I can tell, but I'll need help figuring these out! I've checked a few links so far here but I'm pretty...
