I have a 2006 Explorer V6. Ran perfect. On the way home Got a CEL P0442 code P0442 - EVAP Control System Leak Detected (Small Leak) Now the twist, I'm hoping this narrows down the problem. It started happening a day or two after the CEL light when on. Normally when I am coming to a stop and...

I need to replace the engine in my 1998 Explorer XLT(V6 4.0 SOHC). I found a 2006 V6 4.0 SOHC from a Mountaineer. They have matching engine codes. Can I use this one? Are the heads and block the same? What, if anything do I have to convert over?

Seat belt in the second row passenger side has become a pain in the a**. Sometimes it comes out fine, other times it is locked and you have to play with it to get it unlocked. The only way I have found to get it to unlock is to pull up as hard as possible on the belt trying to get it to feed...

Hello All, I have a 2006 Explorer XLT which has a dealer installed remote starter which does not start the engine. When I push the button, the horn beeps once, there is a short pause and then the horn beeps twice and then nothing. Normally after the second set of beeps, the engine would...

Just picked up a V8 06 XLT yesterday with 35,000 miles on it. One problem I am noticing is that when I press the 4x4 buttons, nothing lights up on the dash. When putting it in 4x4 low I can hear it click in by the button but pressing 4x4 high I cant hear anything engage. The traction control...

Hi there. I just got a red 2006 Ranger Sport as a graduation present. I was curious what sort of stuff y'all have added to yours. I'm mostly interested in lift kits, bull bars, and anything to help acceleration.

So not finding any good threads on how to actually do this, I figured why not document my experience so you can hopefully have a little easier time if this happens to you. This is on my wife's explorer XLT that I broke the handle on the drivers side rear door off. It was cold, okay...

Hi, I installed a gps tracker in the interior light unit in the front. Works fine, but now I receive low battery warnings from this device. My guess is that my Explorer is trying to outsmart me by switching of the interior lights automatically after a couple of hours. 1. Is there a way to...

I'm getting ready to install cross rails to my roof rack on my 2006 Eddie Bauer. I have had trouble with the dealership's parts department with ordering everything that I need. I have had to place three separate orders to get the necessary parts, I'm wondering if I'm still missing anything...

I read a thread on here which says the 06-09 side mirrors will fit on 02-05 Explorers. I plan on buying them on eBay for $112, and I would like to get the ones with puddle lights. My current mirrors do not have puddle lights. Does anyone know if the wires are the same on 4th gen as 3rd gen? And...
