ecoboost

I have a 2017 Limited with the 2.3 eco. I dropped it off at a shop to have the transmission rebuilt and when they went to test drive it, it shut off and has not started since. I got it towed home because they would not look into it. I did a compression test on #1 and #2 cylinder and got 0 psi...

I have a 2012 Explorer Limited with 2.0 Ecoboost. The outer sleeve of the harmonic balancer completely separated and slid off. Luckily it happened in a parking lot and I found the other sleeve right underneath so it didn't cause any more damage. I'm hoping to get thoughts and input on what...

Been wanting to do an intercooler upgrade but for $1,000 and you need to do some cutting anyway, I decided to go a different route. I think the install went extremely well, and the whole setup cost me about $300-$320 or there abouts. I'll post pictures and materials I used as well as a link to a...

Hi, was in a minor accident recently and my a/c condenser looked damaged and the a/c stopped working so I thought I had to replace it and it would work again. What a headache that was (leave it to ford lol.....). Anyway, got everything back together and vacuumed the system and it held so I then...

Dears, Recently I discover very disturbing sound comming from engine of my Explorer. It can be heard on cold and warm engine. Here a short movie: at 00:20 i am pointing the place when in my opiniion it come from. Odometer: 38500mi What can be a reason of this? many thanks for help!

Wondering how many of you Ecoboost owners use seafoam in your oil prior to an oil/filter change? I've read a few threads but they were somewhat old so I figured I'd create a new one. Let me know what you think.

I bought a used 14’ Sport in January with 86k. Love the power of my car, I added a K&N cai and Diablo Sport tune. At 90k I had my passenger front wheel bearing changed. 99k a/c compressor, dryer, orifice tube, and front strut mounts. Thank God for extended warranties! I’ve only paid $100 for...

I bought a used 14’ Sport fully loaded in January with 86k. Love the power of my car, I added a K&N cai and Diablo Sport programmer. I love how people don’t expect them to be fast vehicles. I have had her in the shop about 8 times now due to air bag lights(rear seatbelt) a/c issues, suspension...

I've got a '15 Explorer Sport with 108k miles on it. I've noticed the gas mileage has gotten pretty bad, averaging 13MPG city. Anyway, its overdue for spark plugs, so that's what brings me here. I've looked around via google and some forum searches. I've found instructions/videos on how to...

The 2020 Lincoln Aviator is a three row SUV, smaller than the Navigator. Power comes from a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter V6 engine. Mated to a 10-speed automatic, it makes 400 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque. The Aviator Grand Touring is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 that is part of the hybrids powertrain...

Just watched a video of some guy complaining about F150's and said he would never buy ford again. The issue seemed simply to resolve, curious what has been tried or if/how the issue has been resolved. The issue was water build up in the intercooler, which meant a quick jab at the throttle would...

Does anyone know what the differences are between the regular 3.5l Ecoboost in the Explorer vs. the 3.5l Ecoboost in the F150 Raptor with 450hp? I would appreciate any insight or knowledge.

I have a 2011 Explorer XLT AWD with about 135k miles on it. We made a trip, tried I should clarify, and got about 900 miles from home and the water pump went out causing "catastrophic engine failure." Apparently when the water pump went out it flooded the engine with water/coolant? The car...

Hi Fellow Explorers, So we just picked up a 2013 Ford Explorer Sport and being new to the modern explorers, I was hoping I could get some gouge on recommended upgrades to this beast of an SUV. For those unfamiliar with the term “gouge”, it’s widely used in the military as word for “essential...

I have 2014 XLT with 2.0 Ecoboost that has 5000 miles on it. Sometimes if I step on the gas pretty good for a few seconds and then let up quickly there is a 1 to 2 second rattle from the engine compartment. Anyone else heard this noise and is this possibly a "normal" noise from the turbo...

Are all PIUs equipped with CA emissions or only in select states? Thanks.

For the last few years, I have been considering picking one up as a third car for hauling/towing stuff and whatnot. Is it legal to own one in California?

2.0 13 xlt It's always made this rattle noise since I've had it..bone stock at 93k miles(now 96k with a little extra)..I just assumed it was a heat shield so never paid too much mind to it...ive re done the exhaust while I was replacing the flex connector hoping that was the rattle.., I've...

Can anyone tell me what year they began using these models. I have been trying to find a turbo PIU but someone told me they came began in 2015 so we wont see used models for a while. Is this true? I know the Taurus PI has been using this since 2013.

The main question I do not see asked is this. I have a 2017 Ford explorer sport 3.5L Ecoboost. Has anyone just removed the resonator and left the factory mufflers and if so what did it sound like? Did it resonate in the cabin or drone? Has anyone put a Magnaflow 18" a larger magnaflow on a...

Description basically says it, Ive seen many posts about 3.5 intakes and all but cannot find any posts about the 2.0...so I apologize in advance if there was already a thread discussing it..I swear Ive searched..I know theres two intakes out there that specifically made by K&N and AEM but I see...

Hello ExplorerForum, Been a frequent lurker for the past 5 years but never had any questions to ask until recently. My trucks been very well maintained over the course of it's *known* life. It's been smooth all the way up until the start of last year, transmission starting to slip, engine now...

Everybody, Does the '17 Sport have different engine or transmission tuning than the Platinum? I test drove both today, but it seemed like the Sport performed better in every way--even though both models have the same engine, tires, etc. Maybe it was my imagination, but the Platinum seemed...

Sorry for the long post, please be patient.... Brand new, less than 200 miles on it when this problem started. Noticed at first when driving through the parking lot on day one. Seemed like a trans shifting problem, switching between gears. This is not the same as the problem others have...

I haven't done an introduction yet but to keep it short, I work at a Ford dealer and I have been looking at getting my wife an Explorer and trading her RX300 for a bit and I'm at a point where it makes sense now. We just traded in a 2012 Explorer Limited with just about everything you could get...
