    06 explorer wont drive need advice

    I would check the PCM. If in 4x4 on dry ground the wheels will grab. I had something like this happen on my 02 XLT and had to change the PCM. It worked until Icracked it up some 30k after. My 06 XLT goes into 4x4 without any interference

    Transmission jolt when shifting into reverse

    Try reprogramming the PCM(Dealer - $100 in Canada) if that does not work you would have to take a shot at replacing the SOLENOID Pack(Dealer 500 plus Labor, Pack can be purchased on Ebay for less than 300)

    Loud Bang When Shifting Into Reverse

    I have a 2006 Explorer Xlt and it behaves the same way. I took it to several transmission specialists who said that the transmission was OK but could be a computer or solenoid problem. I have not tried reprogramming the computer as yet ($100+tax). The solenoid block is about $500 plus removal...

    06 Explorer Aftermarket Radio

    With the C2R-FRD1 can you hook up the reverse sensors to the unit? If not how do I hook up the sensors without having an extra display for the distances etc?

    Rear Wiper Motor

    Have you guys checked the local junk yard? Check to make sure that it is really the motor that is bad. It could be the gears in the assembly. If it is like the 92 then it is just a matter of taking the door panel off, removing the rivets and take the assembly off and repair it.

    2007 Explorer 4WD with 100k

    A visit to Carproof might be a good idea. If the maintenance was done by a dealer, they will have a record of it. I would also think that a two year minimum aftermarket insurance would be a good idea. I bought a 2006 in january 2009 and had some problems with the front drive about a year later...

    Installed Nav system

    I just installed a JVC KW-NT1 in my 2006 Explorer XLT. With my original CD Player/Radio I was able to turn off the vehicle and play the Radio/Cd for approximately 10 minutes before it goes off; I would turn the key to ON and then OFF and music will continue. Now I can only get music and other...

    I am also thinking about installing a Nav System in my 2006 Explorer XLT. The units that meet my requirement are the Pioneer 710BT, 910BT and 110BT. The 910BT is the same as the 710Bt but with DVD. The 110BT is the High end. Try Sonic Electronix or Crutchfield website and you can get a good...
