    Service Engine Soon P0172

    This business humbles you, I don't say no to any possibility anymore. I have seen way too many odd things over the years. I would have pcm updated first which I about $45-$75 at most dealerships.

    Service Engine Soon P0172

    It could be the o2 sensor, Ford had a tsb to reprogram the pcm for rich codes on 2004 model year.

    C1198 has to do with left front isolation valve which is part of the HCU(hydraulic control unit). Unless you have a wiring problem the HCU is bad.

    The physical blend door is broken and was very common on 2nd generation models. Dash removal and replacement of the heater box will be necessary unless you try some aftermarket kit.

    YEP....another 06 radiator leak...any solutions to this problem?

    Ford has a PCM update which was required when a radiator was replaced on the 06-07 models. It has to do with cooling fan strategy I believe.

    01 explorer driveline vibration? PLEASE HELP possible axle problem

    The in and out play of rear axles is completely normal. Your symptoms definitely seem like a u-joint problem. There should be no play at all in a u-joint.

    If it needs a filter the trans will need to be overhauled or replaced because of a failure.
