2006 Ford Explorer Limited 4.6L Build Thread

[Upscale Speed]

I bought her about a year ago as my winter vehicle. Came loaded with Navi, Rear DVD, power leather memory seats, power foot pedals, moonroof, tow package, 4WD and 3rd row seats. 4.6L V8 is great and it tows well. 157k miles though, but I love this truck and if need be I will put a crate motor in her if the stock one ***** the bed. Right now she runs perfect.

So far I've put in a nasty sound system. I will try to post pics when I can.

Here what I put in:

Pioneer AVIC-NEX8200 Headunit
Pioneer Backup Camera
Hertz Hi-Energy HSK65 Components up front
Hertz Hi-Energy 6.5 Coaxials in the rear doors
Rockford PS10 Subwoofer
NVX 4 channel Amp
Rockford Punch 300W RMS Sub Amp
All sound deadened
Custom speaker enclosures
XS Power D3400 Battery

Firestone Destination AT 265/60/18 Tires

Next up:

K&N Cold Air Intake
Gibson SS Side Swept Catback Exhaust
Rancho's all around
Brush Guard
HID Kit for lo/hi beams
Xenondepot interior LED kit
Upgraded Brakes

Any other serious suggestions?

I suggest a custom tune.

Cool any good e-tuners you;d recommend? Maybe I can find a local dyno tuner?

What's the best tune for the 4.6L?

Contact Torrie at unleashedtuning.com. He's got lots of experience tuning Explorers, Sport Tracs, & many other Fords. He can hook you up with a SCT tuner with custom tunes based on your specific mods & desires.

Thanks SixPonies. I will look into that.

I bought a SCT Xcal 3 w/3 custom tunes from him years ago for my 2004 Sport Trac Adrenalin. I now own a 2010 Sport Trac V8, & plan to buy another tuner & tunes for it from Torrie. His customer service is spectacular.
