    Another timing chain thread

    Glad I found this thread. I need to do the same and want to go with motorcraft because of the same reason you did, counterfeit. Do you still have the list of all the parts you replace in your engine? Timing parts, gaskets etc... I'm planning on replacing all the gaskets, hoses and upgrading...

    3.5 NA reliability

    Hi guys, was reading a thread on Facebook about issues with both 3.5 engines but I'm more interested in the NA as it's what I have. I bought my 2017 xlt with the 3.5l NA and I came to the forum and ask about the new explorer but never read about engine issues. I sold my 2015 kia optima sxl with...

    Low temp after water pump replacement ford exlorer

    Ok guys I just replace the water pump, to my surprise the impeller separated completely from the pump shaft and that was my overheating issue but now after I replaced the pump I'm having the opposite. The engine temp is way to low, when I switch from AC to heater it heats but not much, I'm sure...

    Blind spot mirror

    Thanks guys, I was trying to avoid the stick on style but it looks like that would be my only option. Is there anything specific you guys suggest, would like to get a set of quality mirror stick on as most of the ones I've seen look like plastic and very thick and the image is all distorted...

    Looking to buy a 2017 Explorer

    I was looking at the Ford website last night and It looks like they only offer one color, I think the one from eBay aren't factory ones, they say it's license by ford but they aren't original. I'm heading to our local for dealer and try to find out about the color. Thanks
