- 2004 Explorer 4L FlexFuel
first off i would like to thank everybody for having me! i found the group by just searching google for things about my 2004 Explorer XLT V6 4.0 Flex-Fuel i just purchased. its in phenomenal shape. 113,000 miles on it. i just replaced the transmission fluid in it and the transmission filter as well. i also put royal purple oil in it with a motorcraft oil filter at 112,000 miles when i bought it. i installed an appradio 3 (sph-da210) into it. the only issues i have are that the back panel is cracked which i have seen is a extremely common issue along with the blend door which i will replace soon. the heat still works if i leave it a notch under all the way. also no matter what i set the setting i put it to, defrosts, dash, feet, it always blows out of the dash. i have no idea on that one. next weekend i plan on replacing the fluids in the transfer case and both of the differentials. what should i do about the air issue? i plan ordering all my gaskets, fluids, and the blend door this week at some point. also what do you guys recommend for the differential fluid and transfer case fluid? i really want to go with royal purple. i want to go with quality. i spent alot of money on the car and i want it to last and take great care of it so i dont mind spending money on good stuff! oh! and im gonna put a new fuel filter on it too! any other suggestions as of to what i should do would be great as i love working on my car! thanks everybody!
