upgrade

Thanks to the information presented in other threads I was able to replace my Sync2 system with a Sync3 APIM and screen from a 2017 Explorer. After a couple weeks of reading and testing different asbuilt codes I have pretty much everything working except a specific type of nav information...

How's it going guys. I've started to plan a top end rebuild as I have low compression on cylinder 3. About 60 pounds cold/dry and 70 pounds cold/wet. The rest tested 150-160. I consider having my head worked but one is a 95tm and one is a 98tm on my 98. This lead to me to simplify the process...

I spent the last 4 hours looking everywhere I could to locate some sort of wiring diagram for my stereo wiring. Would anybody happen to have one or know where I can get one? Thanks. This 2013 one seems to be the closest to match what I have but there are some wires that don’t make sense.

My Sync Gen 1 is v3.01, would like to upgrade to v4.4 (don't want to go to v4.6 due to some of the issues with Siri). Does anyone have an archive of the DL3T-14D544-AE release? I can only download the v4.6 version from Ford. This should be the version for Sync gen 1 with two line text display...

i have a 2014 base model that i put on 265/60/17 Goodyear eagles (little wider than the stock ones) I want to go to more of an aggressive look. Can anyone recommend any? thank you in advance

I have a 2012 Ford Explorer. How hard is it to modify the brackets so you can use a flat screen vs a recessed one. Upgrading from Sync 2 to 3. I just want to know what level of difficulty it is before I spend the $$ on all the parts. Thanks!

I have a 2014 Explorer that I am doing a Sync 3 upgrade on. I purchased a square/flat sided screen despite knowing that I have a recessed screen in my Explorer (hey, it was a great deal). I've seen people modify the brackets to make it work but when I looked back on it that was in an F150. So...

EDIT: See Post #10 below for links to the bulbs I used and additional comments According to the owners manual, the 2020 Explorer has all-LED lighting in the front, sides and interior. In fact, there are only 3 incandescents listed: license plate, rear turn signals and backup lamps. I did LED...

I have a 2015 Explorer Sport. I would like to know are you able to put a 2016 steering wheel on a 2015? or you would have to make your own kit type thing?

Just an FYI. I just finished fitting 10 way adjustable, heated leather seats from a 2010 Flex in my PIU. Final results: <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="aKibk9x"><a href="//imgur.com/aKibk9x"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js"...

To get started I have a 1998 Explorer XLT 4.0L AWD/ 4x4 I want to start upgrading it seeing I do a lot of "off roading", I'm content with the way it handles fully stock but I feel like it doesn't handle as my '97 5.0 2wd did. I will repeat it is fully 100% stock. I would like everyone's input...

Hey all, New to the forum as a member but have been reading for years. Love it. Anyway, my girl (02 4.0 XLT 2WD) rolled 200,000 this year and was promoted from daily driver to weekend warrior. Since I can now be without her for a while now it's time for an overhaul. Before I ask, I know the...

Hi all! I have a 2014 Explorer Limited that has sync2 3.6 installed. Syncmyride told me that i'm in the last version, but the Siri integration doesn't work. I called service and they said that there are no solution. My iPhone has iOS 10.2. Any suggestion? Thanks!

So im told and keep reading that the HPFP is our problem with getting fuel to the engine to make more power. If i read things right as i learn about HPFP the flow rate increases as RPM increase because the cam lobe can open and close the HPFP piston faster. This means fuel supply is...

I just need to know of a good website or store to order aftermarket parts for my 07 explorer. The plastic thermo housing is a bit on the garbage side. I would also like a few upgrades as far as body and suspension go. Its an 07 explorer xlt 4x4 with the 4.0 Thanks-Rob

How do I start? Can I just go to Walmart and buy any 'ol $30 stereo that has auxiliary and just take my old one out and expect it to work? Or am I looking at a bigger task than I'm expecting? The reason I want to replace it is because: 1. I would love to be able to connect my phone...

Does anyone know if anyone makes a halo LED headlight, i.e. Oracle lighting, that has colour changing and such for a 98 explorer? or can I fit the 2001 headlight housing into my truck? any input would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks ~John :exporange

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, so hello everyone. So, I have a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT 2.3L w/ 130k miles. I love this truck, bought it new, got me through many years of grad school. Any now that I have the time and funds to really help bring her back up to speed. I am currently just doing a lot...

I am looking to upgrade our rims/tires on our 01 ST. We currently have 15's with 235/75 Tires. Found a local set of 4 Cobra wheels from a 05 mustang. They are 20" rims with 255/35 tires. I am wondering if I am going to get any rub when installed and what extra may possibly be needed for...

I have a 94 Explorer XLT. I bought my truck, Hal, the day after Christmas 2011, because I had to have a ride right away. I got him for a steal. But... when I bought him, he had two speakers in the back under the seats from like a cheap home stereo. They were wired directly into the back of...

Anybody try to fit the rear rotors off a 2003 and up up on a 97? I know the diameter of the new ones are 11.85 and the older ones are 11.22, so thats only a .63 increase . divided in half its about 5/16" is there enough room between the caliper and rotor to run them?

I have a 2004 XLT with the simple 3 knob Climate control. I was wanting to upgrade the climate control to the digital and dual zone. I doubt I can just change out the climate controller with this. CAn anyone tell me if this is possible and what it all might consist of? Thanks Billy

I have a 90 Bronco II 2X4 2.9V6. Clean, no Rust, dents, good paint. I am thinking about a drive train update and looking for possable fits.

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but it was the closest I could find for my questions. What is involved to take a stock 98 5.0 & say ether add a turbo or supercharger. I know a few of the obvious things like intake & exhaust & having to tweak the computer to accept it all but...

Need some help from the vets. here on EF. My truck has a 4.0L EFI SOHC 6cyl and it is 2WD. I just wanted to know because I am a noob, can this be converted to a 4x4 and can the engine get a upgrade to put out more power.
