    Sport EcoBoost 3.5L Tuning

    the wheels just spin, maybe if you were to put 4 racing tires on at the track you might snap something due to too much traction after quite a while of abuse. This is assuming you floor it everywhere you go. If you were to modify your Explorer to the extent you need fuel upgrades and have added...

    Turbo Failure Again

    that's strange, if oil pressure is getting to the turbo so the shaft doesn't seize and the vacuum hose to the wastegate is not leaking so it isn't over revving it would be a bad turbo, but having so many failures is rare. You woudnt be able to open it to do an inspection incase they say you have...

    new JLT Oil Separator

    I tried a few different ideas, even using an air compressor oil/water separator, didn't collect much attached in series to the factory rear separator on the valve cover, factory appears to be a good design as the oil puddling drains back into the valve cover. The front valve cover has a mini K&N...

    Remote Start / Entry Antenna Location

    I used an extended meant for the F150 on the older model Explorer, previous to the 2018s. As I mentioned it wasn't a night and day difference to me. It plugged right into the TPMS module once the back of the center console was removed. Maybe the 2018 might work on older models but I have no...

    2011 Cranks and Clunks

    remove all the plugs and blow the plugs out and cylinders for a few minutes each with compressed air. Original issue might be bad injector, if a cylinder is flooded you can bend parts really quickly when cranking.

    Exchange CV boot

    only "damage" to the inner would be if the boot wasn't clamped properly and might see a grease leak

    Exchange CV boot

    always easier to remove the entire shaft if possible and work on it out of the vehicle. Trying to remove the outer joint in the vehicle might be tough if the outer joints snap ring wont budge. There are professional kits that allow you to cut the old boot off and stretch a special boot over the...

    '12 Explorer Limited vibration under acceleration

    was it new or a refurbished axle? Only buy new axles in the future, used or repaired axles are hit and miss. mostly miss and will vibrate under acceleration because they didn't repair them properly.

    Rear a/c removal

    remove the panels back there and head to an a/c shop and have them drain the system and cap it off. I would disconnect the wiring first and see if any errors occur on your control panel. Make sure you cap any open holes to the outside if you want to keep exhaust gas from entering the vehicle. I...

    Remote Start / Entry Antenna Location

    you can plug the long bar shaped add on antenna with wire extension for the F150s and route it up a side pillar? Don't know if it was just me but I felt the remote was more consistent :dunno:. Best bet is to purchase the add on remote start module with the square shaped extended range antenna...

    Custom grill cutout

    if not, maybe get a blank grille and buy the appropriate characters and stick them on? Would really stand out with a red back light but you're asking for a ticket then :eek:

    Airbags did not deploy.

    no one knows till its scanned, if the computer gave the signal for the bags to deploy then something went wrong. If the air bag light always passed the self test when starting the vehicle they probably were not meant to deploy. On the other hand if there was a rollover they should have.

    Water Leak

    most sealers are self leveling for a few minutes after applying, after that they start to hold shape. I doubt the repairs would even be noticeable if the pictures were taken from a few feet away, especially being in the hinge area. Got lucky since sealer comes in 3 colors usually and paint...

    2018 Explorer XLT alarm mystery

    2018 Explorer XLT alarm mystery

    those modules are pretty straight forward as long as the correct one is installed. I think all years have a jumper pin if removed will activate the shock sensor portion of it (need to check install manual online). They hook up to the OBDII port under the dash and if unplugged should remove the...
